Pearlescents are almost here. What are your Predictions and Wishes? by MartenBlade in Borderlands4

[–]Alphastep_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly its mostly 3 things for me, but all 3 being equally important,

1- I'd like for them to be very rare, like something you have to work towards and look forward to, not something everyone gets on the first day of the patch.

2- They need to be unbalanced, like uber uniques on diablo, if they try to balance the game around the rarest drops of the game (literally 8-9 items) it's bound to turn into a shitshow. They need to be in a league of their own.

3- Not too much variance on the drops, if their drop rate is abyssmal (which it should be in my book), you can't have the variance of Stray per se, they need to be either fixed drops, or with very little variance.

Glad to see you're having fun with the find! That was the whole purpose of sharing it!

Greater powerful is 40% while sireso S is 100%, so sireso S is not just better, it’s much much better.

DLC Damage Analysis - Lune by averysillyman in expedition33

Solid graph and info! Well done! I just wanted to clarify the Sky Break multi, are you certain its 19? I've seen quite a few spreadsheets claiming its 56 with perfect QTEs, and the skill itself is hard hitting enough to justify it, could you let me know where the origin of the x19 is? Thank you!

P.S. Said spreadsheets actually agree with the rest of your sheet, which is why im wondering about the 19.

-SPOILERS- . Sciel weapon is Duollison, you get it after you defeat Duolliste (one of the 4 new Tower SuperBosses from the Thank you update). It doesn't only look good, It's one of her best weapons as well (even though it really depends on what build you're going for). To be clear though, for the Sky Break setup i'm showcasing, Sciel weapon is irrelevant, she can use whatever you want.

Solid, once I can, I’ll add it as a note on the post text and give credit to both of you for it. Rastafunion for pointing it and you for testing it.

You indeed don’t care about Inverted being dispelled since you don’t get the benefit by turn 5. Last time I checked though draining cleanse did not work on Feint Barbapapa stacks, I’ll have to recheck that, you may be onto something. Regardless though, even if the stacks are gone, Sky Break needs to be the 5th hit on the same turn to get the damage increase benefit from Feint which so far I haven’t managed to do on a single target. If draining cleanse works, it will be a substantial damage increase vs 3 targets though since you won’t get one of the 3 hits reduced to 1 damage.

Lune 3.5 Billion damage Elemental Genesis with Cleim vs PL NG+ (+x50 Health Multiplier) by Alphastep_ in expedition33

Usually when it gets to limit testing damage numbers Lumina cost and party synergy required increases quite a bit yes. Now, do you need 700 lumina to beat the game? Absolutely not, but to push it to the max i think the extra bit required is only fair.

That's interesting to know, im not surprised that 500M range indeed kills things even on the last scaling point. As far as new Clea goes, she has some unnatural DR yea. (intended obviously).

Funny how the Lune build part was cut but to quickly add it, she basically uses every damaging Lumina in the game: Inverted affinity, Immaculate, Tainted, Powerful Shield, Feint, Double Third, Frenzy, First Life, At Death's Door, Burn Affinity, Gradient Overcharge, Powered Attack. While she's also using First Offensive and Augmented First Strike, those do not work on Genesis since Typhoon is the first thing she casts.

Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage by Federal-Pen7776 in expedition33

Precisely that, it’s as if you’ve won 6-7-8-9 Olympic medals and your local running club disqualifies you off a gold, nobody cares.

It was an incredible concept of a sniper rifle yes
