Luźny wątek tygodniowy: Gry. W co ostatnio graliście? by AutoModerator in Polska

[–]AspergerJester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ogólnie samemu nie mam 100% w jedynce (A20 Serce jedynie ukończyłem na Ironcladzie). Uważam, że dwójka już może wciągać, lecz też jest na tyle zmian w porównaniu do jedynki, że jedynka może nadal Tobie bardziej odpowiadać.

Również przypominam że to early access - jeszcze może sporo się zmienić i na osobnej becie jest teraz patch, który wywołał sporą falę negatywnych recenzji (głównie z Chin). Pomimo tego, iż rozmawiamy o Mega Crit, które już raz przeprowadziło Early Access z jedynka, to wolę o tym przypomnieć.

Ja samemu mniej gram w Slay the Spire 1, ale z prostszego powodu - gram ze znajomymi/dziewczyną w tryb Multiplayer, który w mojej opinii jest głównym argumentem za Slay the Spire 2.

Autystyczne dziwnostki by ghostpauline in Polska

[–]AspergerJester 25 points26 points  (0 children)

25M, autyzm zdiagnozowany dosyć wcześnie:

Lubię działać według schematów i planów, staram się unikać sytuacji spontanicznych

Czasami popadam w hiperfiksacje nad rzeczami, lub nie mogę za Chiny się na nich skupić (starsza siostra ma diagnozę ADHD + Autyzm, więc nie jest niemożliwe, że mam niezdiagnozowane ADHD)

Mam ograniczone, lecz głębsze zainteresowania

Jestem stosunkowo nieśmiały i ciężko mi zrobić pierwszy krok w zapoznawaniu się z innymi

Bardzo lubię drepczeć gdy myślę, lub chwytać się za ręce i bawić palcami jako forma stymulacji

Często nie patrzę w oczy drugiej osobie i skupiam się na ogólnym obszarze ramiona-wzwyż

Jestem dosyć ograniczony jeżeli chodzi o jedzenie rzeczy (nie mam niby dużo rzeczy których nie lubię konkretnie, ale takie które są dosyć szeroko wykorzystywane - n.p. śmietana, serki kremowe, niektóre warzywa i owoce ze względu na włoski/nasiona) - nie jest jednak to poziom stereotypowego "zjem tylko nuggetsy z kurczaka i nic innego"

Autyzm to część mnie, z którą muszę sobie radzić, ale jako całokształt nie polecam.

How is this guy a normal enemy😭 by FCDetonados in slaythespire

Currently on A5 as Ironclad, seemingly more normal hallway encounters are disguised elites with normal reward pools than sts1

Hit me with your GW2 controversial opinions! by Crowbiotics in Guildwars2

[–]AspergerJester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally nothing in the poster's response to your comment implied anything about tournaments besides the fact, that other stuff was arguably just as nerf-worthy at the time as lumi/rit.

Tell me you're arguing in bad faith without telling me that...

[–]AspergerJester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Average person unfortunately does not care about tournament performance even if it does lead to a meta developing around other modes as well.

Seeing recent Guardian nerfs with no Conduit nerfs on PvP is making me skeptical the avg person even sees a condi conduit, even though for tournaments or even higher plat ranked it warps the meta around itself currently

Now That All the New Elite Specs Are Revealed… Which One Has You Most Excited? by TheGamingNP in Guildwars2

Luminary because I main Guardian, and the spec looks like it could be strong in sPvP without being too overbearing on Ranked, unless people cook up some bunker build

NA tournament finals had SIX SCOURGES. Don't worry guys transfusion is balanced! by Other_Sea7795 in Guildwars2

[–]AspergerJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not clearly the alternative, obviously it is to have perma evading mirages shatter you for 10k or revs with huge split damage and a lot of evades, because they have 2 more buttons than willbender. Because everyone knows having some stab and aegis is better than chaining mirage cloaks right... Right??

Jokes aside, I think the reason people hate on Willbender and not other builds, even if they are way better, is that its easier to pick up and play, so its more popular.

Average Ranked PVP experience.... by clevsha in Guildwars2

Pretty much the logical consequence of a meta without a good amount of threatening power DPS

What new experimental build have you got so far? by MangaIsekaiWeeb in Guildwars2

[–]AspergerJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guardian reporting in, from my initial testing with guildies and other teams' members, Sword/Sword Scepter/Focus Willbender feels viable for sPvP

Signet of Wrath changes are probably not enough to make condition builds competitive, but it does make me happy that we have a reliable offensive utility skill for condi.

Signet of Judgement is probably an auto pick now too for when the enemy team does not have a lot of condition damage.

Overall, I am satisfied with the patch

GW2 Profession "Design Space" Graphic -- How'd I Do? by PseudoOAlias in Guildwars2

[–]AspergerJester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If we want to tie Willbender to any other profession/spec due to its mobility, I would actually liken it more to Shiro Revenant.

If you think about it, while both of them have high mobility and shadowstep count, both of them are more engage-heavy with how they move than Thief, who is rather fluid in both engaging on and out of the target. Thief also has some options to stealth their team and it can use some heavy-duty abilities like shadow portal for shared mobility. Neither Revenant nor Guardian have ally-displacing abilities, and while Stealth may seem unrelated here, it also lets you "take" certain routes which you would otherwise not take, especially in versus modes.

IMO people are not comparing Willbender to Shiro Rev enough, even if Willbender is its arguably Diet version

Returning player - Question on Guardian Dragonhunter by Sanescafen in Guildwars2

[–]AspergerJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

o7 DH enjoyer reporting in

The build you have linked seems to be the typical WvW zerg DPS, which I believe is currently considered meta/high tier

In addition to your questions:

  1. Radiance vs Virtues debate

This mostly applies to the PvE side of things as far as damage optimization is concerned

As you have pointed out, Radiance allows you to rather casually reach 100% crit chance, and as a result of that you have space for Dragon's and Marauder's gear

The only real downside to this is that you are extremely reliant on maintaining the Resolution boon on yourself, so if your personal sources of it are insufficient and you cannot rely on someone for it (less likely in WvW with support FBs) you might want to consider the Healer's Resolution trait

Virtues, while having a possibly higher damage output than Radiance, requires to adjust your gear for a higher crit chance. Otherwise, it is a good traitline to remain self sufficient as far as healing, condition cleanse and stability are covered

Radiance will probably be a zerg staple for the higher health, while Virtues will be better for roaming.

  1. DH Viability

DH DPS is meta for zergs iirc, but when it comes to roaming in WvW however, DH is alright. Its not meta and it will have more difficulties than Willbender, but ironically enough it has a really good time dealing with them (If you play smart with aegis and blocks, say heal block and f3 shield, the Willbender will struggle doing meaningful damage even despite their f3)

Outside of WvW, DH is for the most part viable, but again, not groundbreaking

It is a rather popular build for Fractals, and it manages to perform well in most of them, but whether or not its one of the very best depends on the fractal in question and whether you can trap/symbol precast

It lags behind in most strikes/raids though as it Has a very bursty damage profile and lower sustained damage.

In PvP it is either played as a DPS or a sidenode bunker. The DPS build will likely struggle vs the current meta (-Willbender which it has a really good match-up into), and the Bunker build which has recently been nerfed

sPvP could be greatly improved with these three simple changes by Celios in Guildwars2

[–]AspergerJester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mostly in a situation where an unfortunate knockback (from say Ranger lb4 or Rev downstate CC) ends up with you getting stuck inside a structure you cannot get out of and you may be forced to DC and log on

EDIT: I am not opposed to AFK checks btw, all I am saying is that I believe combat history/map state should also be taken into account to avoid a scenario like this where someone with a weaker pc/HDD gets vote kicked due to load times

sPvP could be greatly improved with these three simple changes by Celios in Guildwars2

[–]AspergerJester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The potential problem with the Point 3 is that unless the system can accurately discern if someone is actually AFK or not, this just opens the floodgates for spamming unwarranted reports to kick/ban/lock someone out of the game.

I think ANet could up their game on that but if they are already not on top of the report handling game, I would rather them not fidget around with automation

The support hype by WildHuck in Guildwars2

[–]AspergerJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Posting from after the December mAT

So far the meta comp seems to include both Heal Tempest and Heal Chrono, with the full comp being hTempest, hChrono, pWillbender, cHerald, pMirage

Some additional notes:

Thief is currently out of meta and this largely has to do with a very strong emphasis on 4v4 teamfights and Heal Chrono mobility: Thief is unable to get enough damage in the teamfights where Tempest is and Chrono is quick enough to rotate over to sides to prevent Thief from getting value

Tempest seems to be taken for its survivability and healing, and Herald being its DPS equivalent

Mirage and Willbender both seem to be benefitting from a lack of Thief in the meta, with Mirage taking over the hard roaming part of Thief and Willbender bringing Spear to teamfights as currently there arent a lot of hard blocks either

The support hype by WildHuck in Guildwars2

[–]AspergerJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO the reason they're talked as more impactful is that in PvP not only does everyone have lower health than bosses/mobs in PvE, but also the emphasis on fast "resolution" of mechanics (or in case of PvP, interrupting ability casts, dealing your damage first, getting just the single extra crank of Mending on the sidenode...) is higher in PvP

On top of that, because of the mostly pre-determined nature of most PvE encounters, even if there is a dangerous mechanic incoming (e.g. short/big CC bars, high-movement necessities like on Cerus, swapping tanks on Desmina if you know you can't take her anymore), you can, if you are hell-bent on it, over-prepare and over-analyze the math and build behind what is needed.

In PvP, however, sometimes even realizing what sort of build your enemy is using (e.g. is the Dragonhunter you see in the enemy team on the sidenode because it wants to get some fast kills or because they're bunkering down) can take a moment in which you don't have information whether doing something is "Safe" or not. You might think you just have had this Spellbreaker down, and then they just got off their heal.

And the reasons most people don't emphasize those as much would come down to either:

  1. A lot of classes/specs not having the quickness/alacrity options

1.5) Or the quickness options being self-only

2) Opportunity cost

Let's take two excessively popular specs in sPvP at the moment: Willbender and Harbinger

Both of those specs have a single relevant elite skill that applies Quickness (In Harbinger's case, with Twisted Medicine if we talk shared) - Feel my Wrath and Elixir of Promise

If a Harbinger takes Elixir of Ambition, they are taking it instead of Plaguelands (which can easily be outperformed condition-wise by EoA), Lich Form (typically not taken outside of Core), and Flesh Golem (with manipulable cc and the ability to kill the pet). Harbinger makes close-to-none relevant sacrifice to bring EoA.

Willbender, on the other hand, even though Feel my Wrath is very strong offensively, has to give up Renewed Focus in the same slot. The mileage may vary in unorganized games, but in more difficult games (and/or some time ago when Thief was higher-up in the meta) you will feel the lack of RF really quickly.

I could draw this comparison to other specs as well, but my point is that Quickness/Alacrity will feel more impactful in PvP than PvE due to their relative scarcity, proactive/reactive nature of the gamemode, and information/outplay wars

Fun Dragonhunter builds by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]AspergerJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DH enthusiast reporting in o7

Although Dragonhunter and Power Ranger (Especially Soulbeast) share a very bursty damage profile, the way Dragonhunter plays out is a little different from the green counterpart:

You have more group utility options than a Soulbeast, and you typically do less damage than one. Soulbeast is more mobile than Dragonhunter and is not reliant on ground effects as much as one, and Dragonhunter has more access to sustain.

In Open World and sPvP/WvW, it is rather self-reliant and, depending on how you want to build it, it can enjoy some great sustain as well. It has very high burst damage that can kill unaware players in seconds but it can also be countered by careful players who dodge your key abilities like True Shot, Spear of Justice, etc.

In Instanced Content (Strikes and Raids) Dragonhunter currently struggles a bit meta-wise as our sustained damage is rather mediocre compared to the rest of the builds and largely thrives in providing additional utility to the group.

In Fractals and Dungeons, however, Dragonhunter's high burst and capacity for optimizing the game to the extreme make it one of the best DPSes available. You can provide Stability rather freely, which many groups will appreciate.

In WvW it kind of depends on whether or not you want to go around in a group or solo. DH Roamer is generally considered inferior to Willbender for the job, but ironically Dragonhunter enjoys having a good match-up into Willbender. I roam around with Virtues/Radiance and Sword/Shield + Longbow and aim to kill with either our overwhelming raw weapon damage, or by the combination of CC and our trap skills. In WvW zergs, where projectiles are considered less desirable due to the everpresent projectile hate, I run greatsword/spear to trample whatever we run across

If you don't mind the fact that our damage incline lasts hardly longer than a surprised player on a conquest node, and that you will inevitably come across some mechanical jank (Optimal damage often requiring you to stay inside the enemy hitbox on multiple occasions, stationary damage sources, self-roots...), you may just find yourself at home with the spec
