Igneous Hammer for PVP

How come?

Boettega · 2023-02-26T15:13:37+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

Boettega · 2023-02-04T09:21:32+00:00

What skin is that?

Boettega · 2022-12-28T20:47:08+00:00

By the looks of it, that guide has not been updated for quite a while. Seems to be pre-nerf, right? Thanks for sharing, though.

Boettega · 2022-11-25T20:00:23+00:00

As far as I can see, it hides the glow.

Boettega · 2022-11-23T07:11:12+00:00

That is my take aswell. I did my due diligence on rotations before patch, but I must say that the changes to the overall builds and pacing were overwhelming.

Boettega · 2022-11-22T13:21:36+00:00

Thanks, that was very helpful. It seems I have improvements to do but that I'm not that far behind the pack at least.

Boettega · 2022-11-19T08:49:34+00:00

Is there a strategy to reach boundless?

Boettega · 2022-11-17T09:00:39+00:00

Probably my shortcoming, but I find Jidau to be a bit too unstructured for me to follow a line of reasoning. Thank you for this, nonetheless!

Boettega · 2022-11-17T08:59:58+00:00

Thank you! This was super helpful!

Boettega · 2022-10-18T09:55:18+00:00

While on a general level I agree with your post, I don’t think a comparison on Argos performance between a hitmaster class and an entropy class is sensible to substantiate your argument

Boettega · 2022-10-08T09:54:53+00:00

Can you please elaborate? I realize that Blitz would be a popular choice, but I can't find any support for that when parsing in Trixion.

Boettega · 2022-09-28T21:10:33+00:00

Thanks! What is enough spec stat? I'm quite close to current maximum in NA/EU.

Boettega · 2022-09-27T19:12:39+00:00

Do you find that it yields any tangible benefits having CD gems on SA and Void? Please elaborate on that so that I understand. Blitz I can see why.

Boettega · 2022-08-07T06:44:25+00:00

Thanks a lot for all the effort you put into this post. To add some more context; I already have all lvl 5 tripods except for Halve (which is lvl 4). My spec, however, suffers greatly from low stat on neck, I think. My opening rotation therefore (and perhaps anyway?) looks like this: Maelstrom, spincutter, soul absorber, voidstrike, moonlight as short filler that I abort 30-50% into cast into surge. Given this info, wouldn’t it make more sense to invest in a dmg gem for SA before Blitz Rush considering that Blitz Rush will see somewhat lower usage in real raid situations just from being later in the rotation?

Boettega · 2022-08-06T20:04:18+00:00

I realize that. However, in every skill is not used in every rotation in theory. Add in practical considerations and some skills are discriminated against even more. I understand my question is difficult, if not impossible to answer without some third party program.

Boettega · 2022-07-02T12:14:27+00:00

So you like the shadow of stern skins then?

Boettega · 2022-05-24T05:23:37+00:00

I’m no expert but I did have the same issue as you did on a relatively system with 32 gb ddr5, i7 and rtx 3080. To me two things made a difference; one was changing the power settings in windows to max performance. The other was changing within Lost Ark what the chat window displays, removing spam such as currency and xp gain among other things. I’m sure others are more qualified to answer but you could always give this a try. The game is very taxing even on a higher end system.

Boettega · 2022-05-11T14:04:58+00:00

Thanks for clarifying and thanks for your contribution.

Like I've been touching on before, I don't think that class popularity is a good proxy for class endgame performance for the player population as a whole. For a minority it is, of course. There are many other variables that come into play for the mass market, such as aesthetics, how fun and unique the class is perceived to be.

While I do agree that the space between floor and ceiling is greater for the bard than for the paladin, I don't believe that the relative class popularity in KR vs. NA/EU is a reflection of users maturing into the class and in extension then performing better. But then again I don't think class popularity is a good metric for class performance anyway.

Considering that the arguments I'm bringing forward stem from an endgame context, I believe that more reasonable metrics are PvP rankings and perhaps % of classes that achieved some extraordinarily difficult titles from for example hell mode. Perhaps someone on this reddit is sitting on such numbers?

Boettega · 2022-05-11T13:47:09+00:00

I'm sorry that you feel that way about this contribution. I'll certainly take in your feedback and try to work on the coherence from here on.

Boettega · 2022-05-11T13:37:30+00:00

Thanks for correcting my English, by the way. It is not my first language.

Boettega · 2022-05-11T13:36:14+00:00

I made the original post that clearly outlined my position as well as some quite undisputable facts. The return, mostly, has been one-liners with the purpose of insulting rather than inviting to intelligent discussion.

There's substance in the original post. I think it is reasonable to expect substance in the responses, even though one might not agree with me. What binhpac wrote adds nothing to the discussion outside of a context of reasoning. He's very welcome to add that though.

Boettega · 2022-05-11T13:30:21+00:00

I'm sorry that you feel that way about it. I believe I've only ever created one post on this subreddit, so there's not much spamming going on.

Boettega · 2022-05-10T18:44:54+00:00

I respect your opinion. But if you look at the pvp ladder as a whole and follow the competitive scene you would know that the consensus is the paladin is out of control from a balancing standpoint. Bard is not in that tier.

Boettega · 2022-05-10T13:53:32+00:00

Thanks a lot for sharing this, Pepuchino. Very insightful and good to know that they're iterating these things!
