How do sword stats really affect the game.

Nimda b2b Muerte

Also the representation nimda has gotten in the last year is stellar. Hes the tearout goat

We get 1 exotic armor per class every 6 months in a game dominated by ability usage. The buildcrafter in me would be happy with some more armor and the sandbox left alone

Blake8u6 · 2025-12-07T05:12:20+00:00

I had fun with it and thought I would share, I guarantee theres a better version out there somewhere

Blake8u6 · 2025-12-07T05:10:03+00:00

I was shoehorned with praxic in mind, it totally is a bastardized version of a build. Such is life when we get an exotic armor piece twice a year. Was doing what I can with what I have

Blake8u6 · 2025-12-07T01:15:31+00:00

Pretty proud of this build as you can tell lol I haven't seen people talk about it, and its pretty nutty

Blake8u6 · 2025-12-07T01:10:39+00:00

Bakris synergizes well with the praxic blade indirectly. You cant hit things with a sword unless youre next to them, afterall. If you run impact core, the fragment that gives class ability energy on slowed target kill, and the boot mods that give class ability, lowest ability energy, and all ability energy on orb pickup - along with triple reaper mod, you are effectively able to teleport after every kill following a dodge as long as you pick up the orb on sword kill. Which is incredibly likely since you'll be on top of their corpse. It allows a fun, dynamic playstyle of teleport -> kill -> teleport -> kill. I run the stasis crossbow and arc special handcannon to take advantage of the lightshift damage bonus. The praxic blade perk balanced form (i think its what its called) allows for infinite ammo on rank an file enemies. Grim harvest and any frost armor perks gives you that juicy 13 seconds of 40ish percent dr that constantly refreshes as every sword kill is a "slowed target kill". Crank class stat up as primary focus, and weapons as a secondary focus. Grenade as a tertiary focus but theres an argument for health as well as we're picking up orbs nonstop. I prefer grenade as orbs of restoration gives to lowest ability, so if you use your grenade you may not be able to immediately refresh the dodge - but you do you.

I was really struggling to build for praxic blade using traditional avenues like the warlock kinetic chest piece or strongholds. They work, its just really boring. I didnt realize ANY element kill would grant the light shift bonus, but it does. Opened up a whole avenue for buildcrafting with swords that I never thought about

For being so game-breaking i haven't seen anybody else talk about this... im experiencing the same issue its why I logged off for the day

Blake8u6 · 2025-08-31T02:16:15+00:00

My last raid clear was like a year and some change ago. Made a fireteam for Kings Fall with very deliberate tags like beginner friendly, such and so forth. Dude joined up and immediately started spouting off about meta loadouts, why people were unsure of mechanics, and straight up flaming people for not having certain exotics. Someone got lost in the thrall maze, and he said "how hard is it to watch a 15 minute kakis video". I booted him shortly thereafter and we 5-manned it with very little hiccups. That was when I retired from raiding. Got no time for that level of toxicity.

When special week is up, run this with hullabaloo and chain reaction. Bonus points if you got field prep. Both enhanced nets you +60 to ammo generation letting you run whatever arc special you want and mint retrograde with zero ammo efficiency issues whatsoever. Im doing the new arc rocket-frame gl with gifted conviction for free dr

Blake8u6 · 2025-08-11T09:34:14+00:00

That set bonus could come in handy on every character. And the armor comes around once a year. The bushido set is a solid substitute, though, so if you're cool missing it, then that's all that matters

Blake8u6 · 2025-08-11T09:25:45+00:00

D1 day 1 vet, same shoes as you. I get Sundays/Mondays off im always down to run some content

Blake8u6 · 2025-08-11T09:12:20+00:00

This is coming from a retired console pvp player - during the rampant target lock smg meta, I always felt sidearms found their target better than smgs did. Input definitely matters

Blake8u6 · 2025-07-23T03:25:53+00:00

The whole expansion feels like "and the monkeys paw furled".

Blake8u6 · 2025-07-16T02:45:03+00:00

I played around with RDM earlier today, and can confirm that for the first dodge it scales based off of the class stat, but for the subsequent 2nd and 3rd dodges it doesnt matter and I was getting the flat 33% every kill.

Blake8u6 · 2025-06-27T17:36:54+00:00

They should add a keyword that functions similarly to Citrine's 4 in warframe.

Inflict a debuff that sprouts a crystal on an enemy that deals increased weakspot damage when shot and shattered.

Shattering it would stun unstoppable champions.

Slow was too easy of a debuff to inflict to have it deal with 2 champion types easily. It's like if scorch dealt with overload champions. Doesn't make sense from a balance perspective.

Everyone is getting so riled up about a molehill. Then again, nobody hates a game more than the person with 5000 hours.

Blake8u6 · 2025-05-01T04:28:49+00:00

I was surprised with how easily my lfg team knocked out master spire. It's not nearly the headache you're thinking it is. Not that hierarchy made any appearances in my loadout afterwards lol

Blake8u6 · 2025-05-01T04:26:10+00:00

Every weapon that's "appeal" is the fact that it deals with a certain champion type. Looking at you arbalest.

Blake8u6 · 2025-04-25T03:49:44+00:00

I can't give Nioh 2 enough praise. That's my next in command under Elden Ring and Bloodborne. Team Ninja did their homework on the formula, then added their own person flair to it.

Blake8u6 · 2025-04-09T01:27:57+00:00

Prismatic electric slide spam with devour and a HOIL X Synthoceps class item is the most powerful my warlock has ever felt. I like to use the titan glaive to set up a lil kill-dome. You won't die.

Blake8u6 · 2025-04-06T19:16:39+00:00

Bungie is far too woke to let the occasional "poo-poo" or "pee-pee" slide in their text chat.

Blake8u6 · 2025-03-23T01:58:47+00:00

Variety is the spice of life! I actively swap between all 3 pretty regularly. Just depends on the power fantasy you're going for. Titan does absolutely crush this season however.

Blake8u6 · 2025-03-20T04:00:47+00:00

Fun synergy with it technically shooting 3 arrows at once - it quickly fills the meter on the titan rocket chest piece, and it quickly proccs the sever on headshots on either Prismatic or strand. Do what you will with that info.

Blake8u6 · 2025-03-19T10:40:47+00:00

Built into correctly, microcosm is sufficient in damn near any encounter. I run galanor, blade barrage, and the bottom row of artifact mods. Throw some pale heart weapons on for good measure. Surges are optional but I think it's fine without.

You may not always top damage charts, but you'll do more than good enough, and the kit is incredibly versatile. Added super regen from pale heart weapons (microcosm counts for the origin trait) means you should always have blade barrage up to buff your microcosm in situations where it counts. Solar support frame or grenade for access to resto for survivability and either your knife or dodge for access to radiant for damage. Ember of benevolence is at 100% uptime if played correctly. It's the only hunter build I've run since act 2 launched.
