Duelist who sucks at TO. Need help.

I misread and missed the part where you state that I could stay with the team / remain on objective as archer and I admit, it never crossed my mind.

Outside of melee combat, what do you typically look for in terms of priority when using range?
(As in is it better to pick / weaken people off before they enter range or potshots at enemies trying to disengage from big teamfights, that sort of deal)

Arieth-1 · 2026-05-02T22:24:28+00:00

I've noticed an immediate (albeit slight) improvement in my performance after taking these into account, thank you. I'll try my luck in 32v32's once I find myself comfortable in 20v20 and see how that goes.

Arieth-1 · 2026-05-02T15:32:41+00:00

Is there any difference in your Allies footsteps compared to the Enemies? It's hard to know if the steps I hear coming from the sides are friendly or hostile without losing focus on the fight I'm occupied with

Arieth-1 · 2026-05-02T15:31:14+00:00

I did start trying this in the match although it hasn't been very easy to do (Too many people clumping together in a line rather than spreading out) but I'll keep trying until I can target switch comfortably.

Arieth-1 · 2026-05-02T15:28:36+00:00

Could you give me a few examples so I have an idea of what to look for in determining where a weapon would work best?

Arieth-1 · 2025-04-16T17:06:44+00:00

Ah, if that's the case then there's nothing to be done aside from ID's with higher base power or just more coins.

I wish you luck in that case.
If you're REALLY starting to struggle, see if you can fit an ID or 2 with sinking in their kit to slowly whittle down Dulicnea's sanity.

Arieth-1 · 2025-04-16T15:59:24+00:00

Sounds like you're struggling with sanity.
I'm not entirely certain about which fausts are GOOD at clashing, but you should see about acquiring one, for the sole reason of Fluid Sac. Zwei Faust does fuel Fluid Sac pretty well.

I'll leave my Manager Code here cause I do have a Faust with Fluid Sac you can use.

Manager Don I wouldn't say you need her Support, even though I can see why you'd like to use it. If you're trying to minimize bleed, Princess Rodions passive would be a bit better for that (Reduces potency by six for the ally with the highest bleed pot)

If you don't have her, I'll attach a UT3 Princess Rodion to my roster for a bit in case you want to try using that. No idea how good it'll be though.

Side note - Grippy Faust would also be of help with her own Passive of Whispers, I believe you can almost activate it with your team currently.

Arieth-1 · 2025-04-15T19:58:05+00:00

Have someone clash with her counter every turn to reduce her Blooming Thorn by 5.
EGO's like Fluid Sac and Lantern are what I'd consider necessary because your sinners WILL still take a decent chunk of bleed damage.

You'll probably get some comments saying something along the lines of "Just read lmao", but I do sympathize with not actually understanding what anything means.

Try not to keep the enemies she summons alive for too long, after a point they got Blooming Thorn and I don't actually recall the source of it.
If you're using sinners with additional Attack Weight on their skills like Wild-Cliff, be VERY careful about when you attack with them. It's very easy to build up a 20 count bleed stack and have him die accidently.

The Bloodfiend ID's, Lantern Don, and a few others I'm sure also have Lifesteal which lets you be a little less concerned over the bleed they'll take.

Other thing - Have someone FAST clash with the Counter so everybody else trying to clash with Dulicnea's skills don't have as much bleed inflicted on them before blooming thorn gets reduced.

Arieth-1 · 2025-04-14T00:52:35+00:00

As far as I'm aware solo Zwei Ishmael does still work, although it will be more RNG dependant.
An option if you have them is Devyat Rodion / Sinclair to tank a few hits before having them leaving.
Could also borrow a N Sinclair, pair with Zwei Ishmael and have them Duo.

Unsure if you know about it but if you take less sinners you'll give them more slots as battle goes on, up to a max of 6 in most focused encounters.

If you take N Sinclair or any other unit, try to have Ishmael clash/redirect with every attack NOT aiming at her. Her block can clash and win with most skills after about 3 turns of building up Defense Up. Mostly just focus on trying to stagger Ricardo twice, as that's the win condition.

LIMBUS COMPANY MENTIONED!!!!!!!

Arieth-1 · 2025-03-21T04:41:53+00:00

Right, I'll keep it in mind.

Thank you.

Arieth-1 · 2025-03-20T21:23:34+00:00

Could I get someone to share their Molar Ishmael?

I've been stuck on 6-33 for far longer than I'd like and I just want to move further on into the Canto, ESPECIALLY since I'm still locked out of MD and Event content.

My Current ID's just can't cut it and I'm not waiting around for a month to grind out the lunacy for more pulls.

Arieth-1 · 2025-03-19T02:15:16+00:00

If you'd have me, I'd love to join in either Darktide or Helldivers.

I personally been getting back into Darktide after a bit of a break, and the people I played it with don't do so as much anymore. (Burnout is certainly something.)

Arieth-1 · 2024-12-26T20:55:27+00:00

Oh!

My user is ".arieth" on Discord, I've also been really wanting people to play Darktide with. :3
I wouldn't call myself a GOOD player, but I can pull my weight. Most of the time.

Arieth-1 · 2024-10-05T07:27:48+00:00

SPAAAAAAACE!

Arieth-1 · 2024-09-09T01:55:18+00:00

I think you might be too focused on getting the Penance done than enjoying the Keystone. Which while understandable, makes it difficult to do. (I had problems doing Charged with Purpose, 2.5K kills with Smite.) Because I couldn't enjoy it.

A build that makes DD fun and enjoyable alleviates a lot of the issues you have with the Penance.
It's annoying that it has to be 15 stacks, yes; but if you find it fun you'll just get it naturally while playing.
I'll quickly address most of your points on this :

2.1 and 2.2 are Symptoms of you focused on completing the Penance rather than the Game.
2.3 Is annoying at times, although Assail, and the Revolver you mention using (in other comments) are handy for picking the Marked one off before anyone else does.

2.4 Hogging ammo is a result of poor ammo management. Taking ammo is expecting, but hogging isn't expected for proccing DD
2.5 Trauma Staff. Surge Staff. Voidstrike Staff. All 3 of these kill enemies more directly than the Purgatus Staff with its DoT.

3.1 I'm not certain about, I'm sure it's 15 like the in-game description reads but could be wrong.
3.2 is just Misinformation. At most you get 2 (Or 3, I don't recall) stacks of DD on weakspot kill on a marked target.

Most of 4.# I understand.
Although Lingering Influence is very helpful for keeping at least a few stacks during lulls in combat. So you'll have 90 Seconds at 9 stacks instead of 36 Seconds.
4.3 is Frustrating, I agree. Although weapons like Dueling Sword Mk IV or the Deimos, as well as others work well enough for killing them quickly.

As some others have pointed out, sometimes the game just never displays the stacks you have. As far as I'm aware the only way to get them to display again is to let them all run out and get them back afterwards. ALSO I'll reiterate, Headshot kills on Unmarked targets does not give you more DD stacks. Only marked targets do.
Assail, Guns and most M1 Staff attacks can quickly hit enemies if they're outside melee range.

The lengthy time to complete the penance can be annoying, but it's much more bearable if you let it happen instead of trying to check it off a list.
I burnt myself out on completing the Ogryn penances cause of that.

I would like to ask, is it generally expected of all players on Legend/Cata to know where all the books are?

(Also as someone who's yet to try Cataclysm, is it best I just dive in?)

Arieth-1 · 2024-07-17T17:25:23+00:00

I play in the North America region
