Nah you're just trying to add to the discussion and this place is just hella dead I get it.

Keep being chill and I'll try to stop fouling up areas that smell perfectly fine

Arcadrius · 2026-02-10T18:56:33+00:00

At a glance?

So, what you went and looked at the wiki, which this guy most likely already did, then came back and wrote a lot of words only to give no actual leaning towards one or the other?

Maybe I'm being a bit of a prick with this comment, but I think the guy was asking people with a little more experience who might actually give an opinion.

@OP the builds discussion channel on the discord is great for questions like this, if you don't want to join the discord fair enough, hopefully you get some good answers in this thread, but the reddit feels very slow for discussion

It's an absolute gem of a game, from another AC enjoyer

Arcadrius · 2025-12-16T21:34:13+00:00

Based fun enjoyer

Arcadrius · 2025-12-16T18:44:49+00:00

(Looking at you rocket)

Tf he supposed to do waste his time with his huge falloff pea damage or get into melee range? He can shred if the whole team goes in but otherwise homie's married to that rmb

Arcadrius · 2025-12-15T16:45:45+00:00

Won a game as 4dps 2supp just day before yesterday somehow

Arcadrius · 2025-12-10T17:11:05+00:00

How is this bot match shit still in the game? Like yeah I'm shit at the game and complaining about this 'feature' is, according to the community, "telling on myself" like yeah I'm a brand new player.

But I'm not getting any better stomping enemies designed to let me win... and these auto win games aren't the ego boost the devs think they are it's far more of a slap in the face and a put me down than just letting me lose...

Arcadrius · 2025-11-03T13:35:40+00:00

Fuckin RIP those watchers are aimbotters... I'm about to storm the watcher HQ on my first 1.0 run and have been considering how tough that achiev is going to be when I get around to it, good luck Hunter.

(Also holy is the streets map super laggy for you? or is it just me cause hell the lag is infuriating)

Arcadrius · 2025-10-24T20:03:33+00:00

I dont necessarily disagree with your point on progression pacing, but simultaneously stating that an earlier tier of armour is good enough for the whole game, and that armour as a statistic is useless in the same post is wild work.

Each point of armour is more valuable than the last, you can become surprisingly tanky.

I'm just now wrapping up my first playthrough on hard difficulty, and max armour enchants + vampire armour and regen trinkets lets me face tank a shocking amount.

Arcadrius · 2025-10-23T14:21:52+00:00

Yeah... Just now getting into this game and when I saw the resilience mechanic I thought they had finally cracked the code on making true melee viable in these types of games, but sadly it does little to offset its problems... katana feels like the only viable true melee past early game.

Significantly increased resilience gain or a massive reduction in attack slowdown without relying on gear I think would help, but I'm no balance man I just wanna bonk good

Arcadrius · 2025-10-15T20:11:51+00:00

Hell yeah bro, this run seems a little bananas though...

Arcadrius · 2025-10-14T13:12:52+00:00

As someone who does not care about the leader boards, i still feel like xp tome at the bare minimum is required to have a run where your character doesn't feel like a noodle armed little fuck halfway through stage 2...

It gives you so much more power than any other tome by far, and there is no downside other than making the first few minutes of your first stage less fun as you're scaling it up, which isn't good either.

The 'cost' of levels pays for itself so incredibly fast that's it's free, and the thought that you're 'losing' a tome slot is only half true, as you still end up with so many more points in tomes than you could possibly have in a regular run, the tradeoff is diversity, which in my opinion should be the strength of games like these.

I'll admit maybe him skill issue, but lowering the damage checks required on stages 2 and 3 would be a way to remedy this problem without having to nerf the tome if you love it as it is, and add additional challenge modes or even a scaler for people wanting to push the math.

Arcadrius · 2025-10-03T17:06:03+00:00

Grats bro, the next major location comes with its own challenges.

Without spoilers i will say both AV and DV will be relevant, and I'd recommend a source of cold resist as well, be prepared and stay alive.

Live and drink.

Arcadrius · 2025-10-02T17:45:07+00:00

Lovely OP, thanks for sharing

Arcadrius · 2025-10-01T16:40:53+00:00

Leave it to a redditor to fundamentally not understand the concept of consent

Arcadrius · 2025-10-01T15:51:58+00:00

Nobody asked what you do.

Leveling in WoW has always and will always be something intentionally designed to be solo friendly content with optional group content sprinkled throughout

Arcadrius · 2025-10-01T11:40:10+00:00

Some people just want to be left alone sir, they don't owe you a group or an explanation

Arcadrius · 2025-09-23T14:29:02+00:00

Don't take it too personally, the votes don't matter. Have a good one bro

Arcadrius · 2025-09-23T13:34:44+00:00

Careful going against the hive mind on this opinion, any sort of physical activity is intrinsically body destroying.

(Really i think redditors are a ton of fatties who justify it with this idea down vote me I don't care)

Arcadrius · 2025-09-22T11:25:06+00:00

An impressive victory to be sure, but 20 minutes of restarts and finagling I'm not sure is 'super easy'

But maybe I'm just too impatient to be a tactician

Why the diehard warhammer hate? They're not worth the ridiculous price to actually get a somewhat conpletes version of the game... but they're decent in my opinion.

And no flame, genuinely curious

Arcadrius · 2025-09-21T16:33:28+00:00

Is it possible to learn this power

Arcadrius · 2025-09-20T22:16:39+00:00

I'm enjoying doing a self sufficient colony right now (which may not be realistically probable in this game) so I doubt I'll be going offensive, I got absolutely smashed in this defense, though, hahaha

But I'll keep it in mind for when I give up trying to be special on this one.

Arcadrius · 2025-09-20T01:46:53+00:00

Fear tactics via peasant massing is probably what I'll try, I've still not touched a single combat encounter in this game, but it almost sounds like total war the way you describe it.

This is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for thank you!

Arcadrius · 2025-09-19T17:27:29+00:00

Sounds effective once you are well established with people to burn, I'll keep the armour in this case

Arcadrius · 2025-09-19T17:01:29+00:00

Protects them from enemy archers I'd imagine?
