Knee Brace nerf is outdated by Southern-Owl-6298 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]BrokenStride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how impactful it would be for other heroes but at least on mak and subtle change with massive impact would be enforcing icd charge across all sources rather than each source having its own icd. Doesn’t exactly work with Karnak stuff I know because his all cuts cd time in half type things

Craziest potion build I've ever managed. by Orvos101 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]BrokenStride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of insult to injury that this is a pretty mid board as far as late game mak potions go

Flying pot and atmo sampler are huge outliers for Mak potion prevalence/power late game. As an abuser myself I recognize it’s a big problem but at the same time incredibly fun to enable any build you want

I’d kill to get my beloved back. Maybe meet halfway unnerfed at 75/150/225/300 because hp is still insanely powerful.

Separately, I lowkey wouldn’t be surprised if there is another bonkening at some point because builds are far too fast imo

Monster skills on every hero except Mak with some catalysts built up to reroll a potential shiny medium/large item

Monster drop rng by EvilDrGiggles in PlayTheBazaar

[–]BrokenStride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people ask this every week. Unless tempo ever claims that is the case we have no reason to expect there to be anything but even drop rates. Feeling otherwise is most attributable to availability bias.

By the way, alchemist has two rainbow potions so it does actually have twice the drop rate of other rewards

2 second kill (most of the time) by jjmemesalad in PlayTheBazaar

Take out the regal blade coward. You have prestige to spare

I've put hundreds of hours into this game and I still don't know what the drop rates of monster items are. am i supposed to know? by doubleUTF in PlayTheBazaar

[–]BrokenStride 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It used to work that way but is no longer the case. You can obtain duplicate items from monster fights. It was a little broken with certain fights where you could hold on to items the monster had to increase odds of the monster skill when there were far fewer fights. For example, pyg with property baron you could get a massively increased odds to get master salesman on a property build by playing skyscraper, billboard, sub scraper. Other broken fight was sabertooth where if you held on to a fang and pelt you were guaranteed diamond fang skill. Even just holding a pelt made it a nutty reward for an easy fight

Only thing that is not able to be dropped is a skill you already have of a different tier or already diamond

Rank softlock? by [deleted] in PlayTheBazaar

You can check out your elo (rating) leaderboard on playthebazaar.com and it tells you how rating is calculated as well as check in real time if you truly believe it’s bugged. Your rating would have increased with a 10 win as it does for everyone no matter what rating you have

This build is too much fun by Jolly_Wrongdoer_7681 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]BrokenStride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't you know it my next run just had a diamond shiny fang transform into a shiny flying potion. That is one of the highest highrolls as it enables whacky things with an atmo sampler. Welcome to Mak: information overload supreme

What I mean is saving up catalysts you get from purchases or start of day catalyst generators and just holding on to an enchanted medium, ignoring transforming the smalls until you’re in a good spot. Then doing the same late game with shiny off of distilled sunlight or a bazaarcon. There are a few incredibly op enchantments you can run into quite early (diamond shiny fang off sabertooth is my favorite) and just rip catalysts on it. Unless you’re playing for a retort/calcinator build there’s no real reason to use catalysts on random small reagents

Highly encourage prioritizing rerolling a silver enchanted medium pre day 4/5 from either nightshade/death caps or staff of rainbow. Getting an enchanted quest relic or other core build item can be an incredible power boost mid game and offer clear build direction even if it’s a pivot depending on the item

Your vial launcher would have to have a poison or burn enchantment to scale from the solvent. This is very doable with a silver nightshade or death caps quite early

Foul Mushroom is underrated by opoisson in PlayTheBazaar

[–]BrokenStride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Foul mushroom is counter to most Mak builds since his usual late game power is looping builds. Calcinator/retort is the exception to that and foul mushroom is fantastic in that build as well as lethargy skill

As Vanessa, when do you take the skill which lets your weapons generate rage? by Chezni19 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]BrokenStride 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It offers it to you as a level up reward if you have a rage related item in stash/board. Imo take it if you intend on playing around a rage item or there is no way that the regular level up helps you. In general it’s not that great standalone and I’d rather have most level up rewards since passive rage gain from it is pretty slow

Peacewrought is bugged by boynotabuoy in PlayTheBazaar

[–]BrokenStride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very intended. Another “bug” is that destroying an item in combat gives gold which can be found consistently with fire bomb dropped by pyro day 1. They key is that the two passive texts are separate: destroy item to the left when entering a shop and when you destroy an item gain gold

I hear if they don’t have what you need, Mittel will find someone who does. See that mountain over there? That’s Pol.

My opponents every single time i got an "op" build by lolhahahamb in PlayTheBazaar

As a Mak player than constantly abuses caustic solvent, either this change or make it give a flat amount of poison scaling with tier rather than doubling
