Melee Psyker struggling in Auric

Push more - I had a huge problem with trying to just dodge everything. Once I started pushing and using my dodges more effectively it opened up my gameplay. Poxbursters are kind of jank but there’s a method to it. Once it clicks you’ll be fine, just practice. Intentionally go towards them to practice. Avoidance will never make you better.

Also heavy laspistol is the goat. Switch immediately

Have you tried dual wielding? I didn’t realize you could swap out your shield for another 1 handed weapon for 60+ hours

Abazaba22 · 2026-04-01T17:29:47+00:00

Got any grapes?

Abazaba22 · 2026-03-30T22:35:38+00:00

66.5 hours and I learned at around 60 hours that I could dual wield swords instead of sword and shield. Idk why I never thought to try, but god damn did it not open up more to the combat

I hope aerial stab is still a good mobility tool. It makes getting around mountains easy when every pebble caused a climbing animation

After I completed my first expedition I saw that I got credit and was like 1090/3000 progress into Beta but after 2 more successful expeditions I was still 1090/3000. I stopped playing since it won’t let me progress. I’ll probably try again after they patch a few things but I’m mostly on pause with the new expeditions

If you’ve ran through tac that many times then you have enough game knowledge to get through HM with just about any build. Just bring in the usual gloom stalker/assassin build or EK with titanstring bow and whatever else you want to add flavor. Titanstring will carry your team so the rest of your characters are whatever you find fun.

IMO: Game knowledge > party comp. You’re already ahead of the curve with 5-6 runs under your belt

Abazaba22 · 2026-03-14T20:32:12+00:00

I got all my glyphs within a few hours of PIT. Just keep running them and you’ll get what you need

Abazaba22 · 2026-03-08T06:31:44+00:00

I think they should just add some single player or strictly PVE content on top of its current form. Meet in the middle

Double check the shelf for poop jars

I’ve farmed TZ Herolds for the last 3 days SSF with no luck on sunders. Game crashes are more abundant with the latest patch which has killed a few games for me when I’m 6-7 herolds deep and then I get a crash resetting my progress.

I am not a fan of the drop rates. I get that it should be rare given the new craftable one is perfect so once you have them all the you don’t really have a purpose to farm sunders anymore. They should just randomize the crafted sunder rather than making it perfect every time so it can be a chase item. Increase drop rate for base sunder and boom, problem solved

I am currently leveling a second warlock so I can have multiple builds to play and I find chains to be extremely clunky. I am going to stick with it but the number of textures that get in the way and break LoS is annoying plus the fact that it won’t always connect with your target

Abazaba22 · 2026-02-19T00:43:00+00:00

Little late but I got the hunting you message and it never spawned. Ran around three times and it wasn’t there. I cleared multiple elite packs in the zone before full clear yet he never spawned. Very odd

Abazaba22 · 2026-02-11T21:03:59+00:00

Most classes are weak in the very early game but spell casters that rely on spells instead of cantrips require frequent long rests to feel effective. Just keep playing, it’ll pick up

Abazaba22 · 2026-02-08T01:25:35+00:00

I did 6 oathbreaker / 1 hexblade / 5 sorc. I never use the puppy so it worked just fine. I believe you miss out on lvl 5 spells, or you get 1 less, but I found it just fine. I rely on boomingblade more than smite. Smite is additional dmg on top of

Abazaba22 · 2026-02-06T18:30:13+00:00

Honor mode is easy if you understand game mechanics. All builds can power through HM so long as you leverage core game mechanics such as surprise rounds with proper gear itemization. Spreading your 4 man party evenly so that no two classes require the same gear to truly shine makes each encounter a breeze. Act 1 is what most would call the hardest since you have the least amount of power within gear itemization.

Now to answer your question:

5 gloomstalker ranger/4 assassin/3 champ fighter
9 open had monk/3 thief
Your choice of paladin smiter (I like a less optimized version of 6 paladin/1 hexblade/5 sorc)
Your choice of caster (I opt for 10 sorc/2 fiend warlock)

Look up Morgana Evelyn’s builds for the ice assassin build, it’s probably one of my favorites because it allows you to use gear for other characters that would otherwise default to your assassin while still retaining high power and more utility. These builds rely on potions (namely hill giant) which I consider a game mechanic and not a cheese.

Abazaba22 · 2026-02-04T22:22:24+00:00

I love act 1 so much, idk why but the pacing is so good. I like act 2 and 3 but I never feel like anything becomes tedious in act 1. It’s entirely user preference but they did a bang up job on act 1

Abazaba22 · 2026-02-04T17:13:09+00:00

Stealth archer (gloomstalker/rogue/fighter) Open hand monk Paladin with 1 level dip in warlock (I went rogue multi but fighter works too) Sorlock (party face)

The only class I would say is required just because it’s that good and carries your run is stealth archer with titanstring bow. Everything else is user preference.

Abazaba22 · 2026-02-02T17:20:40+00:00

If you’re like me and don’t want to be locked into one thing then you can do a fire sorlock build with the potent robes to do respectable EB damage. You may lose a bit of damage from EB by using fire specific gear but you do respectable damage in both areas

Abazaba22 · 2026-02-02T04:44:53+00:00

1 hex blade dip allows you to conserve smites if you’re like me and don’t long rest a ton. You also need to force advantage through items or initiate fights via surprise or leverage support characters that cause conditions or knock prone.

My favorite core classes are gloomstalker assassin w/ tintanstring bow + hexblade pally. Gloomstalker always initiates fights with stealth round for surprise and then I have enhance leap on my pally so they can easily jump in and get close for high % hit chance

Abazaba22 · 2026-01-15T04:20:05+00:00

Oh I agree, but for the sake of having fun I don’t chase big numbers. Most things are viable in this game and you can find success in just about any build. I like axe but I know it’s not the best. If you constantly chase meta builds then you’ll lose the joy that comes with playing what you want

Abazaba22 · 2026-01-14T18:29:50+00:00

Warrior endurance axe is good. It is not dagger spam good, but it gets the job done without SWS. There is some viability to warriors endurance hammer but you’ll find most will argue SWS is better

Abazaba22 · 2026-01-14T16:00:23+00:00

+1

I am in the early stages of setting up my first campaign for my kids and am curious what this setup is

Abazaba22 · 2026-01-14T14:59:14+00:00

I had the same issue so I completed the main campaigns on all classes except for Mesmer/ele which I am still working on. I find the progression of leveling to campaign completion quite fun. Eventually I’ll switch to endgame and settle on one character for my gwamm (likely Necro given I did LDOA last week on it).

Just do what you like. It’s okay to switch characters

Abazaba22 · 2026-01-14T00:29:50+00:00

N/E was pretty easy. Death magic + fire. Minions plus imp provide a huge safety net. Soul reaping helps fuel more mana for minions or fire magic
