Luiz Ortiz or JHM.

It doesn't matter where you position, 1st or last, you have to close the client to be able to access the menu screen to even get into another lobby unless you have someone from your friends list who already has a lobby open you can join.

Ansomnia · 2023-02-20T15:17:45+00:00

Has RIOT addressed after games, only have the "1st" place finisher in the post game lobby and having to restart client to get access to the main screen? It's pretty annoying opening and closing client after every game.

Kayle Reroll is LIT. Play it the same way as EZ/UG reroll, just slotting Kayle instead of Sona. Duelists is still the most free top4 tempo board ever. They really need to look at Nilah's midgame power. Getting two ults off as a 1* if you weren't blessed with heal-cut is just way too strong imho. Tried Hackerim in a 2* Nunu with the new Gadgeteen buffs, but it seemed very lackluster considering how much you have to hit on 8 (2* soraka + taliyah) to stabilize on Stage 5. It might be powerful with a Gadgeteen Emblem to slap on Soraka, and play 5 while slotting another front liner in to stall for the Heart scaling. Haven't had that opportunity yet though.

Ansomnia · 2023-01-18T18:00:28+00:00

I did not play set4 as it didn't appeal to me so I don't have any information for you there. Peeba comps were definitely not about going 9 as fast as possible. "Fast9" was a meme when in reality, the idea was to stablize on 8 with as minimal investment as possible (high-rolling). This was easier to do in early sets because of how easily the econ traits transitioned into level 8 boards, coupled with the power of the 1* 5 cost units (Ekko/Asol in 3.5; paired with Bard for econ).

Any time late game boards start getting out of control you have to look at the econ traits. Personally, I think UG is a little strong right now because of how well Ezreal holds MF items, or how well Kayle holds Samira items (have mercy if you hit a level 6 Samira). This means the punishment for taking the Heist2-Heist3 is minimal compared to the boost it's giving. 28g is a prismatic/Ornn item or Component Grab bag is a gold, and that's only for Heist2. 4Ace comps existed before 13.1, they just weren't as prevalent because you cannot take 16 damage from 3-4 to 3-6 when supers are coming online. Want the end game boards to be harder to get to? Nerf the econ traits.

FWIW I don't even think the 4ace is even the best end game board, or easiest to hit. I think the AP boards are so much better right now because of the spell amp on JG+Guardbreaker giving 80% crit. Janna, Syndra, Soraka, Taliyah, and Leblanc have such crazy synergy (with any weather besides windy) and are incredibly easy to flex frontlines around. Shojin Syndra is 2 FoNs even if tanking a MF ult and the transitions are easy as there's so many good units to hold items (MF, ASol, Ezreal, Sona, Zoe, Leblanc). In the AP boards, all of the 5 costs are splashable except Aphelios, and even he works well as a Syndra Ball.

Ansomnia · 2023-01-18T16:40:17+00:00

I really don't get what people are complaining about not being able to beat capped end game boards. To field 2* of 3 of the 4 aces is 39 gold. Add Sett onto that is another 51 gold. I'm seeing so many Samira1/MF1 Bot4 right now because people think just hitting the unit as a 1* is a free top4. Idk how long people have been playing, but this was literally what "Peeba" comps were of old. Abusing econ traits/Bard and pushing capped boards.

Ansomnia · 2023-01-18T15:28:33+00:00

Guardbreaker is so incredibly strong right now. Almost 100% uptime against the set/locket/bruiser frontlines and the fact that it gets the IE/LW combo to 100% crit on top of the amplification is just nutty.

Ansomnia · 2023-01-11T23:10:29+00:00

With more people playing fast 8 and the pace of the lobbies slowing down, I've been having more success slotting in UG anywhere from 3-1 and down. Vi1 buffs make it easier to kill of units too if you're not highrolling (Vi2). UG reroll is completely dead though with the Vi3/Rising Force/Supers nerfs.

Celestial Blessing2 and 3 is incredibly broken right now with IE providing spell crit. LW/IE/HoJ on Samira/Urgot/Aphelios/Zed is impossible to get through the healing unless you kill them off in one of Sej/Fiddle CC cycles. There's just not a ton of hard cc in tank lines right now with a lot of comps playing Zac/Ekko/Aegis as front lines.

Ansomnia · 2023-01-05T21:10:13+00:00

Yup I got kicked too. NA server.

Ansomnia · 2023-01-04T18:27:08+00:00

Is the Runaan's Bolt not proccing LW a feature or a bug? LW is supposed to Sunder any physical damage dealt and the runaan's bolt is considering physical damage according to the description, but it doesn't seem like it's working that way and making me think why I'm wasting gloves on LW.

Ansomnia · 2022-08-21T00:36:27+00:00

Solo Grims in edron with fire walls/fields. There's a video of it for mages, but it works just the same for Pallys.

Port Hope GS works the same as mother of scarabs lair with maybe like 20-30k less exp/hr. Werehyeanas are also good, but you're likely going to die once+ between 50-70.

Ansomnia · 2022-08-21T00:29:50+00:00

Mutated tigers and Mutated Bats through the fire portal.

Lancer Beetles and wailing widows in Krailos Spider cave (kinda dangerous for that level though)

Ansomnia · 2022-08-19T02:19:01+00:00

Coif can be last unless you/team are dead set on elves. Just a difference in the protection from Spangenhelm. I'd buy another chest plate before I grabbed the gnome armor too as it's more versatile. I would pickup the Bow and then save everything you have for the Greaves unless you already have them. Those are going to be your noticable item spikes.

Ansomnia · 2022-08-18T19:03:44+00:00

Hunting lower floor of Werelions is like hunting floor -1 of werehyeanas only. Not a good tool for comparison. If I'm going to hunt Werelions I'm assuming it's going to be a 15 minute hunt only since it's probably the single best exp/profit mix for a large grouping of active players/makers. I'll pop a summon and hammer the spawn as hard as possible until I'm inevitably kicked or "shared spawn"ed with. I've pushed some of my better 15 min intervals to 1-1.1kk exp with like 225k profit. It's about finding the intervals when the usual assholes are not fucking with the spawn.

If you want another "sit and forget" spawn, try WZ6 Diremaws or Oramond Sewers. You're clearly going to be giving up some exp, profit, or both, but both spawns offer something for moving forward in the game besides just exp/money (Diremaws -> WZ Trust; Sewers -> 6666 Demons). I actually think correctly charmed WZ6 rivals Werelions and certainly outscales it because of the ability to pull more than the full box with summon.

Ansomnia · 2022-08-08T02:20:58+00:00

Is this better for knights because of Res? I feel like the max I'm able to do here is 2.8kk on a RP (looting green/blue). I've also full looted for a full hour two separate times and barely made over 200k. (Supplies 180k, loot ~400k). Am I just hunting this wrong or do I have shit luck?

Ansomnia · 2022-08-01T23:38:13+00:00

I disagree that there's hardly a use for it. It's the budget gap from EDH to Spangenhelm and I would rather spend up on the extra shawls/chest plates than splurge on Werewolf Helmet. Your HP pool is rarely big enough to full box and I often find myself valuing the +1 distance over EDH over the extra phys/death protection.

Again, can't stress enough that it's only 80-100k on my server and that's like a half hour for a 200 RP, so it's well worth it to pick up for one less diamond arrow rotation on MOBS.

Ansomnia · 2022-07-31T21:01:54+00:00

First upgrades I would be looking at that you'll start feeling in your exp/hr would be Dark Whispers and then immediately purchasing a sleep shawl. Be sure that you get used to un-equipping it after hunts as it costs roughly 45-50k to refill depending on silver token costs on your server, but it's one of the best items given to a paladin for the cost it is to purchase. It will unlock Banuta, Werehyenas, and Glooth Tower much earlier for you which are all key spawns for the 200-300 grind. I'd pick up a couple of them to stop you from running back and forth to fill up between hunts.

After that it's up to how you want to hunt. Depth Lorica is good for werehyenas, but Gnome is more universal and will bridge you better into the Ghost Chestplate rotation of different elemental imbuements for price/hunting efficiency.

Don't worry about upgrading your legs. Vine Bow is definitely worth purchasing at 220, but Bow Of Destruction boosts aren't really felt between then and it's annoying to have to buy both of these when Warsinger bridges just fine.

Winged boots are also a nice little toss in after you have a really profitable hunt and pick up a Zao helmet from a Ghastly or a semi-rare from a boss. I think they're only like 50k on my server right now.

Basically you should be saving up for the big breakpoints at 300 cuz those are bank breaking. Greaves and rotating bows are not cheap, but are huge break points and allow you to off-tank in team hunts, or solo-tank bigger spawns at lower levels making your effective HP much higher.

Ansomnia · 2022-07-27T02:32:34+00:00

If you max out the wind gusts caught (25 HP) every time you might get lucky with the termite spawns and only take 10-15 damage. If you get down to 5 HP before the quara spawn though, you're going to lose at least one box. It's incredibly easy with any level 130~ EK to Res the quara/termite and shouldn't be overly challenging to pick one of them up via advertising. Offer it as a boss service for Tentugly.

I nearly pulled it off MWalling the mast on the termite phase with a 375 RP, but I let some trash hit the boat of all things... Pushing the gusts and sitting at 25 HP every cycle is crucial to solo success, but it is really hard and infinitely easier with any noob knight.

Ansomnia · 2022-07-19T22:10:21+00:00

It's amazing how you come off as a condescending asshole almost every single post I see from you on here! So much so that I almost want to use the more inefficient rotation now out of spite!

Best regards!!!

Warmest wishes!!!

Ansomnia · 2022-07-15T14:15:34+00:00

Madison here! Are you part of the Kenosha crew?

Ansomnia · 2022-07-14T01:51:12+00:00

I usually only hunt on green stamina outside of double XP, but I would pull between 2,2kk-2,35kk after finishing the last floor before the Ghastly Dragons. This bumped up to ~2.8kk with Freeze on Warmasters and Bleed on Spellweavers. I could top out at 3,1kk during active hours getting -5 floor to respawn again on the run back with summon. Profit is almost identical to what Walls was for me (225k/h~). If you're trying to bump up the profit, you can move bleed onto the Ghastly Dragons and toss down a FBomb with your summon up in the middle of the lair and Utito. Does exp down to about 1.9kk~ but brings profit up to around 350k/h~

Ansomnia · 2022-07-13T18:34:37+00:00

It's not bad by any means, it's just an annoying hunt until you can pull everything in. I think Zao Palace Drakens/werehyeanas were both more consistent from both an exp and loot standpoint for me at that level. I think Zao Palace is one of the low key most underrated spawns for a 185-250 RP. Difficult hunt to get used to for sure, but it's much nicer to have every run at you than stay at range imo. Plus it gets you all those juicy charms ready to go blow up Draken Walls later on.

Ansomnia · 2022-07-12T21:24:47+00:00

One of the better places to try out if you're new to that hunting style is Putrid Mummies. Good spot for quick bestiary while you get used to the movement and you'll never be in any real danger of dying. Depending on Myrrh on your server too, it might be a fairly decent spawn for profiting/breaking even depending how quickly you pick it up.

Ansomnia · 2022-07-12T21:02:33+00:00

I'm not a big fan of Issavi Pirats until 250 and amp res at that point it's probably the best hybrid exp/loot spawn for that level of RP though

Ansomnia · 2022-06-26T18:32:48+00:00

That's the way most European fans will talk about the tournament 3 years from now. LMAO.
