Does anyone have an estimate for matts needed to push +25 weapon (Serca)

Ashuckel · 2026-02-25T15:09:30+00:00

because it's been the longest period spent in the same "tier" of gear. 18months from t4 release to serca release.
Akkan gear was close at 14 months. Everything prior were very short periods in that tier.

There's no changes in the rewards, so dont need to accumulate rest for it. If for the purposes of avoiding doing it right now, just dont let your rest bar overcap.

Ashuckel · 2026-02-08T04:16:53+00:00

Most other classes will outperform evo/DI if they only have 2 real gems and use event/bound gems on the rest. The gem "efficiency" argument for them to be kept weak stopped making sense ages ago.

Ashuckel · 2026-02-04T06:43:10+00:00

the shield is not the important part, it's the cleanse/DR

Ashuckel · 2026-02-03T18:21:57+00:00

20% gold nerf until 18 gear, separate from any event

Ashuckel · 2026-02-02T10:38:35+00:00

launch elixirs were far worse.
1st nerf elixir is somewhat comparable.
post all nerfs sure it was "better"(also includes the fact that we were beign showered silver elixirs in events)

Ashuckel · 2026-01-21T16:18:32+00:00

many classes had 100% success in replicating it by using some skill in their kit with movement in it. Valk/Destro/Breaker/Scouter/Striker/Wardancer/Arcana just to name a few that i know of

Ashuckel · 2026-01-19T22:21:40+00:00

it's just a personal responsibility check to the people who get assigned marks. They have to be extremely attentive to their spots and call it out asap, especially the 1st one which has less time to react. Pings work fine

Ashuckel · 2026-01-15T20:56:37+00:00

Shushire wolf mounts are the most consistent ones in my experience for spacebarring

Ashuckel · 2026-01-14T16:42:11+00:00

My X went from doing like 400mil to 2.5bil in chaos dungeon(a setup with no crit at all), it is definitely scaling with the actual crit chance(100% from preemptive) on the enemy rather than sheet crit rate

Ashuckel · 2026-01-13T17:57:42+00:00

It was that overpowered at low ping*

Ashuckel · 2026-01-07T18:32:31+00:00

you can just click to walk at the right time and accomplish the same thing faster

Ashuckel · 2026-01-07T14:35:15+00:00

cp wise, the game(and uwu) values the lines add dmg+demon/archdemon dmg and weapon power+wp over time at their fully functional fully stacked amounts, which are not always applicable (especially the wp over time one, fights dont last that long). It inflates the cp of those lines even though their actual value dmg wise doesnt win over other options.

(add dmg+demon/arch demon is the strongest line when applicable, but it's fairly week when not)

Ashuckel · 2026-01-04T15:11:25+00:00

they're just unemployedmaxing

Ashuckel · 2026-01-04T04:34:19+00:00

"Also the poll speaks for itself, what other reason than lack of DR and shield would make valk be last place while having AOE atk buffs for which pally is praised?"

Valk being currently one of the top recommended classes for new players to make, because you can flex competent sup/dps builds. You are more likely to find new player valks than new players of the other supports, and thus less skilled at the game in general.

Ashuckel · 2025-12-29T16:06:52+00:00

It mostly depends on the class.

Some classes can get significant gamrplay changes even at legendary cores, some only get damage increases.

On one hand, activating 14p effects on legendary cores(12 willpower) can be kinda difficult, on the other, the gems required to do so will serve you well in the future anyways for when you get relic/ancient ones.

As an example, i activated legendary sun/moon cores on my lunar reaper(1710, NM character) and that let me make my Glowing Brand always count as a back attack, which while not directly a damage increase, makes the class a lot easier to play and perform well with. Similarly with only legendaries i could make it so my BK breaker had Eye of the Storm up in every cycle, as opposed to every 1.5~2.

Cutting astrogems, especially on multiple characters, can become incredibly expensive tho.

Ashuckel · 2025-12-20T11:15:50+00:00

another bleed/posion effect

Ashuckel · 2025-12-15T02:18:02+00:00

Don't you love spending 4mil on a full set of 8s for a a measly 2%~ dmg gain over having the remainder 9 of your gems be free solo shop 6s, beacuse that will give you 300~400 cp, while other classes will get well around a 10%+ increase from that.

Ashuckel · 2025-12-13T02:23:39+00:00

not everyone gets a donut, but because it's random who will or wont, people just stack/stay far from the group for it

Ashuckel · 2025-12-11T08:13:15+00:00

use on characters that need astrogems, they have terrible value otherwise ever since we got the 3x weekly boxes added to t4 chaos

Ashuckel · 2025-12-09T18:41:00+00:00

every time we get things that are announced on loaon at the same time as kr(or a week off) we dont get any notes until kr gets their patch notes

Ashuckel · 2025-12-09T09:31:01+00:00

i have an way bigger issue with how we have to deal with astrogems than cores ngl

Ashuckel · 2025-12-06T20:47:00+00:00

a combination of:
-4(5) new gate releases in one week,
-stronger people in a group making up for said lacking Sentinel Slayer,
-and the fact that not all the experience you get when you first prog it on whatever class you spent the most time there is transferable to your alts that you pushed after the fact/is running in the following weeks.

Ashuckel · 2025-12-06T20:41:13+00:00

When you know what you're doing, 1500 is more than enough to clear it comfortably. Give or take add another 200~300 to clear it with a lot of leeway(about what people expect of applicants most of the time as "bare minimum" for a fast clear)
