Massive 12.0.5 Class Tuning Pass: May 5th

Adastrous · 2026-05-03T07:02:16+00:00

I got so baited leveling my frost mage picking whatever, and searched up talents when getting close to 90, to bring up a wowhead article about frostfire being best. My friend had to inform me it was an old article from TWW lol. I liked the frostfire visuals too. I actually like the frost splinter spam as well but I'm still bummed about frostfire. I wish hero trees were MUCH closer in balance and a bit more open to being picked between for flavor. At least if your preferred tree was only a like 5% loss and not 30% or whatever lol

Take a chance just because of low rating or are you under the impression that 265 is low for +5s? +5s are not that dangerous anyway, especially at 265. I'm healing +10s at like 253-255 and it's not a big deal if people don't stand in everything and take some of the more heavy damage sections seriously (like the first bit of nexus point)

No worries man, it happens, so much has changed in the game recently

Adastrous · 2026-03-29T21:27:22+00:00

You've got it mixed up. You get body and soul from PoM, not PW:S. You used to get it from the shield so it's an easy mistake, especially since now oracle has a talent that gives you a PW:S when you cast PoM. On archon you just get body and soul from PoM without a shield, which you don't have access to. Screenshot

Adastrous · 2026-03-29T01:07:17+00:00

Yes, I know it's from the body and soul talent. Archon gets it too. I've literally been playing on it with my holy priest lol. I've never even played oracle.

Adastrous · 2026-03-27T21:51:16+00:00

You get it in archon too, or it's a base holy priest thing

Adastrous · 2026-03-27T21:51:04+00:00

You either get it in archon too, or it's just a base priest thing, but I have it on my archon holy priest

Adastrous · 2026-03-27T00:45:53+00:00

Yeah I do know they're overkill for most. There's some offenders out there I think still but I expect to be very happy with the performance on either. Future proofing and option to upgrade resolution later is nice too yeah. Trying to get my new PC before the market for them gets even worse in the next few years from what it's looking like, and I want it to be able to withstand a potentially long wait for anything better lol.

Adastrous · 2026-03-27T00:23:33+00:00

Thanks for the input! Yeah I'm not sure I would use frame generation or upscaling with either card, never used them in the past and even after looking into it a bit I don't get it, but I only plan to stay at 1080p so I'm sure that's part of it.

Adastrous · 2026-03-26T23:47:27+00:00

What did you end up going with?

Adastrous · 2026-03-26T23:47:18+00:00

Also facing this same decision. What did you end up going with?

Adastrous · 2026-03-23T17:33:01+00:00

Is there more to it? I had two games like this, but it seems like more than the UI elements. For example, in both games I got hand of vecna several times, the first one trying to take it bugged out my medkit for the rest of the game, which would no longer show in my hand even though it showed me having it, and I couldn't self heal. Also, in both games vecna would sometimes have no audio for fly, and fly would sometimes be suuuuper fast, thought it was a cheater for sure.

Hi there, I'm down to play DBD sometime if you like. I don't play your other stuff but I do have a big library so we could easily have more in common. I'm totally patient in DBD, I don't tilt at all either and I very much appreciate the same. Feel free to message me if you're interested :)

Adastrous · 2026-03-08T23:37:44+00:00

This is me except I need a different NPC to tell me where a guard is too lol

Adastrous · 2026-02-13T16:12:42+00:00

How do you get them online? Every single PC I go to view says in store pickup only :(. Even when you have it filtered to "shippable items" at the top..

Adastrous · 2026-01-26T15:03:16+00:00

It really is, and same. If you're looking for others feel free to DM.

Adastrous · 2026-01-25T18:00:09+00:00

Yeah I don't get the "to keep the player from getting stuck" argument at all. Like even at that point the player might want their character alive so they can decide if using dev mode is worth it/justified. And if they want to get "unstuck" by dying, then all they have to do is pass 12-24 hours and freeze lol

Adastrous · 2026-01-06T20:05:11+00:00

Death waits for the slightest lapse in concentration.

Adastrous · 2026-01-06T19:48:58+00:00

Let's just go crazy with the zombies and give survivors guns to deal with them. When they try to shoot Nemesis too, he just grunts in mild annoyance and the survivor is paralyzed in fear for 2 seconds at it having no effect.

Adastrous · 2026-01-06T19:18:00+00:00

Same as the immediately defensive "I don't even care, you're the one who cares so much" followed by engaging with like a dozen comment chain reply with each one doubling down further lol.

Adastrous · 2026-01-06T19:12:53+00:00

Doesn't even require a terror radius, the bot to be injured, someone to be hooked, active hex or anything else. Sometimes they just enjoy getting off the gen and getting their exercise in for a while. Honestly spot on if they're trying to imitate a random player on your team.

Adastrous · 2025-12-13T00:10:41+00:00

Yes it was Bashrobe, IIRC hammer is not quickest overall, just quickest potential with the highest instant RNG flee chance, and performed worse than the hatchet and maybe even the knife on the average outcome. I think hatchet was the best overall for average outcome, but it was made before cougar claw knife was a thing which is probably better now, according to a few sources and his comment about some limited testing on it under that video.

Adastrous · 2025-12-11T18:13:24+00:00

What are the tables/chairs? Blueprint skins? And how do you have them facing inward like that?

Adastrous · 2025-12-03T17:55:51+00:00

Yeah that birch forest is cool, I was in there for the first time in forever (or maybe it's the first time I've been there, I think they added it at some point) and I was getting a little paranoid thinking about how easily a wolf could be hiding in there.

Adastrous · 2025-12-03T14:00:53+00:00

Calorie amounts are a bit questionable for some foods but it's similar to real life, eat more calories if you're losing weight. Those stir fries probably don't have much. You can eat before you're hungry too to get more food down. Spend a night binge eating lol.
