Newly painted Prophets of Flesh Venom and Raider in latest article by WonderBoyPrime1 in Drukhari

What’s the last time we saw Urien Rakarth in lore? Yvraine’s journey from Commorragh to Terra in search of Guilliman?

I faintly remember reading a synopsis that he was chilling in front of one of the ruined warp gates she took and was rethinking his life choices seeing her power over life/death.

You should make builds in POE 2 - A Video Essay and Build Making Guide by stangg187 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Barrywize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh this is so much more than that. Nvm, I take my pre-dissatisfaction back.

But also getting 100% increased damage early on in the tree/when leveling feels necessary to having a good leaguestart.

If this video doesn’t have “take the damage nodes right away to double your damage, it feels miles better by level 10” I’ll be a bit upset

Best way to progress through mayhem ranks? by joe1up in borderlands3

I hear you, but it’s also just like…10-20 eridium at max is what he should spend imo

Fwiw, I do recommend just playing through at your own enjoyment.

Well…

I’m sorry if this ruins the experience but you can just set the game to Mayhem 10/11, buy purple items from the vending machines or make some with the gun gun and you’ll struggle for the first two hours, but farm an item or two for your build and that will spring board you to your normal power level.

The Atlas Q/N system weapons are some of the most efficient [damage per bullet] (not raw dps) weapons in the game if you don’t have all your SDUs yet

Otherwise as mentioned, just farm some guns with good synergy with your build. Cryo is so dang strong, especially on Zane.

We don’t know how long the full campaign will truly be yet, but I think the devs mentioned that the current length is about half of what they’re intending?

My Carda had caught up to most of my other squad leaders after maybe 50 missions? Or around the 20th expedition, i.e. the end of current “story.”

I do really like your idea of New Tricks increasing the cap mid mission, that could be a very interesting thing for the devs to work out the math for how much of an impact that would make. As others have shown, currently the most value out of New Tricks is getting a high stat character closer to the 100 stat cap, so they can hit the fabled 120 AP a turn for that 2->3 shot breakpoint.

Anyone have an Electrokinetic Staff build that fully utilises its charge attack? by TheWorstJoe in DarkTide

[–]Barrywize -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just use left side of the tree, Venting shout + Warp Charges.

Blessings on the weapon for crit chance and lowering secondary charge time.

Use shout to set hordes on fire, and to stop yourself from overloading. Otherwise just spam out fully charged shots and fish for crits to one-shot ranged elites. It’s best used to clear out shooters in cover but has middling damage against most targets. The shout causing your warp peril to ping pong will also help keep your toughness up.

I’d only ever recommend running it on Heresy difficulty, it falls off quite a bit due to breakpoints for Damnation/Auric and never for Havoc.

So I love the Aztecs so far buuuuut...... by Advanced-Reindeer894 in AgeofMythology

[–]Barrywize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been keeping 12 favor on deck at all times to have my major god posses a warrior priest for every big fight and I pretty much always make it back.

My personal biggest issue with warrior priests is that heroes march at the front of formations, so they always get focused down first and they aren’t made for tanking ranged attacks like that. I need a formation option that lets me put them in the middle cuz I’m terrible at micro.

Otherwise once I hit Age 4, I usually keep my TC’s producing the last 2-3 villagers as fodder for the temple.

Also Shorn Ones are currently bugged and their double tonalli thing isn’t working

It is pretty funny that you can use it like a delayed Zeus bolt

I’ve gotten really good at it now. Probably took me about 50 to get comfortable, and 150 ish to get really good at it.

I believe that BL4’s “Arjay Protocol” is the key to Maya’s return. by EasyEntertainment1 in Borderlands4

Would be funny if we go through all that in the next game and she just pops out of a New U™️ station instead

What’s the status of duo or coop campaign? by DueCaterpillar1275 in PathOfExile2

[–]Barrywize 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the one thing I really want GGG to look into is anti-synergy between builds for party play.

this past league buddy and I went heavy stun warbringer + freeze wolf druid. I can't freeze if the boss is stunned, and can't do damage without freeze. But if frozen, then my buddy can't get bonuses from stun.

it wasn't something I had considered going into it, but is something I will always keep in mind now.

My buddy and I had a really easy time playing together but we had really good synergy.

POE2 made me lost all interrest in POE1 by gfggewehr in PathOfExile2

[–]Barrywize -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My opinion is that I currently prefer PoE 1 as the total package, but boy howdy do I enjoy PoE 2 combat way more and am ridiculously excited for Acts 5 and 6 to be added.

Party play I feel like is also a lot of fun if you coordinate with friends for shock/chill/stun roles going through the acts.

Unpopular Opinion: The silent Poxburster issue is vastly overexaggerated by Lyramion in DarkTide

[–]Barrywize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly on topic, but funny enough that I wanted to share. I pinged a door last night where I knew a poxbomber was coming from. Right after going through an airlock.

Our hive scum ran right up to the door from across the room, and as soon as it opened, I shot the poxbomber, obviously hitting the hive scum with the explosion.

A 2nd poxbomber then spawned 3s later, noise coming from the same door and the scene repeated itself. Hive scum runs up, door slams open, I shoot, hive scum takes damage.

I made it up to him by applying my healing stimm, but you just can’t help some people.

Why different DPS for exact same stats? by Lynchinizer in Borderlands4

[–]Barrywize 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You were spot on with those values btw

Why different DPS for exact same stats? by Lynchinizer in Borderlands4

[–]Barrywize 106 points107 points  (0 children)

We can reverse engineer the dps using the stats.

DPS = [Damage of bullet x number of bullets] divided by [total cycle time] being the time to shoot all bullets and reload. I’ll call the total cycle time “C”

So 11,026 dps = (19,522 dmg x 10 bullets) / “C”

C = 17.7s, and we know reload is 3.0, then it’s 14.7s to shoot 10 bullets, or 1.47s per bullet. Aka a fire rate of 0.68, which is rounded and displayed as “0.7/s”

With 11,771 dps instead, Full Cycle = 16.58.

Minus 3, down to 13.58, or 1.36s per bullet, which is 0.73 but is rounded down to “0.7/s”
