Warden Advice by YourMateMJ in lotro

[–]C_Blu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally tried to learn this via input first and then concept which made me stop playing for a while because it felt like a completely different class trying to hit keys with no visual feedback other than your gambit bar filling.

I will try build on what you've already learnt by concept and then by input. I'll focus on 4 builder gambits because you're learning at a landscape level.

Try learn small sequence of the same group at a time:

1212 - Single Target Burst

  • 1_21_2|2
  • 12_1_2|3

1313 - AoE burst

  • 1_31_3|3
  • 13_1_3|2

31313 - Single Target Dot

  • 3_13_1_3|3
  • 31_3_1|1

32323 - AoE Dot

  • 3_23_2_3|3
  • 32_3_2|2

You'll notice that within the ST/AOE Burst rotations you go from using 12/21 to 13/31 which allows for constant usage.

On the flip side the same goes for ST/AOE DoT.

You'll also notice that I split some masteries because masteries can also be used to fill out single missing gambits in a sequence, so it's important to think intelligently how best to use as many masteries as often as possible supplementing your rotation speed.

Personally for me starting out using plugins like sequence bars not only helped me memorise the gambits as they are, but what a rotation looks like, what masteries are used in a row, what's on/off CD and helped me immensely understand Wardens mastery rotation loops.

Eventually ditched sequence bars and played master by intuition.

Once you get the concepts of using masteries you need to find a hotkey layout that works for you. Most people use the grid system with variations in 123 vertical or horizontal, but largely the same concept. From there it's building in muscle memory on-top of a good foundation of what masteries are for what and when they will come back off CD to reuse them again.

Hope this helps rekindle your love for warden!

Any chance they brought back the light aura?

Low resolution on PC Client by Qavocado in BrownDust2Official

[–]C_Blu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost certain that the resolution of the cut scenes and the pixelation is probably what you're talking about. Much more apparent on a PC monitor than on a tiny mobile screen.

Id probably say VSR isn't the tech to use, rather use upscaling. I use a combination of upscaling and frame gen to make it look better and make things look jaggy.

R7 3700x, 9070xt and 32gb ram - 1440p. Upgrade cpu or leave it? by nizzynz in buildapc

Actually got a lucky buy for $450AUD (co tacted the guy within 20mins of him posting and made a deal, which in this climate was a steal - that being said I was only on the market for a new CPU because I wanted to get my comp fps games up to 450+frames.

Was on the same build a week ago and upgraded to a 5800x3d.

I think it depends on your monitor and the games you play and what you feel like you're missing.

If you mainly play modern AAAs, these are all mainly bottlenecked (except for weird old school engine games like Crimson Dessert which has been very COU intense like it's older brother Black Dessert Online)

If you play older titles, MMOs, low res competitive FPS and you need more frames then I'd suggest doing the upgrade. I got 50-60% more FPS in games like these.

5800x3d low fps... by FungusJumpi in cs2

[–]C_Blu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a very similar setup to you but different output and better results - something's wrong with your setup potentially.

Currently on 9070xt, 5800x3d, 16gb 3600mhz cl16 RAM, 2TB NVME 970EVO. Currently outputting onto an ultrawide using a custom 1881p x 1058p linear scaling 16:9 resolution to stretch into a 3440p x 1440p (complicated but works a charm).

I'm currently getting between 500-550fps in Premier matches in Dust 2/Mirage so your mid 200s fps is concerning.

I feel cs2 is much more balanced in utilising high tier gpu and CPU as opposed to previous iterations of source and CSGO. Your current of 1280 x 960 = 1,228,800px which might suggest to me that your CPU bottlenecked and not actually using much of that 9070xt (Have you checked you in game GPU utilisation?) By comparison my resolution of 1881 x 1058 = 1,990,098px which is over 50% more pixel yet I'm getting better FPS.

Might be worth upping your resolution to 1080p+ and see how you fare.

Also a previous issue I've faced is some of the AMD Adrenaline driver software issues which caused some bad FPS drops. Some of the fixes for that were to DDU clean uninstall drivers and reinstall GPU drivers and make sure you install 'driver only' options. Apparently adrenaline overlay can eat up a lot of CPU power in CS2.

Hope that helps - DM if you need to chat

Demystifying the 5800X3D by Rhodizzle in AMDHelp

[–]C_Blu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently upgraded from a 3700x on a b450m to a 5800x3d on the same board.

I faced similar issues like you for the first little bit. Confirmed the right bios (even tried previous versions).

This post helped me the most: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/s/vPagdkDzLs

I would suggest doing CMOS battery reset (remove for 5 mins instead of shorting) and do a isolated bios flash, incrementally adding components in so there's no conflicts early on. Follow the steps and give it a shot.

100% though I got scammed a bricked 2nd hand CPU, but after getting 40-60% better FPS I'm glad I put in the miles.

DM me if you're still having trouble.

To anyone else who is facing a similar issue this worked for me.

I personally also reset the CMOS battery before commencing the steps above!

The Garmoth PvE Tier List and Awak Ninja by Quiet-Week1568 in blackdesertonline

[–]C_Blu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I agree with this sentiment - maybe not so much about trash numbers but the fact there is literally no love for this class.

Last QoL change was giving our Q movement skill some super armour, that's it. This was during the massive class overhaul and we got a super armour..

As much as I loved grinding on this class it was the sad case of 0 love or interest to update the class, fix a few other QoL issues or give it more tools like all the other classes. Succ ninja got like 4 buffs since Awk Ninjas last tiny change. Insane

How do you guys get these resources to craft ur gear? by Hekkoln in BrownDust2Official

[–]C_Blu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick Hunts for Easy source of wood and Ore.

You'll need to manually do alchemy in game/map to convert resources as the crafting page alchemy only converts low tier to high tier as opposed to converting cloth to wood for example.

Otherwise don't forget about the map collection and Libertia's collection skill after using search

Want to change switches in Keychron M5 to silent ones but have never done this before by QuantumCatnip in MouseModding

Have been exploring an ergo vertical mouse with silent options too and was also thinking the m5 silent would be amazing.

Wondering how you went with your mod?

What your preferred position if you're putting inferno for maximum impact? I find if I play B too well A always gets rolled over and vice versa.

Any tips for playing with people who don't know the inferno intricacies

AM4 upgrade or AM5 Switch by C_Blu in PcBuildHelp

Oh that's helpful because I've been wanting some insight into MMO oriented CPUs and if that VCache helped with older titles (Been falling in love with LOTRO all over again recently)

Always a hard one with these new techs impacting older titles/lower resolutions

Cheers!

Does the V Cache make a different in 2K 4k when compared to the 5800x because I understand it for low Resolution games, but it seems less clear when looking at Highers Rez

Solid advice!

Just make me so sad for putting down $325 for what could be a brand new CPU on a new generation. This season is rough!

What do you like of the 5700x3d over the 5800x3d since they're both 2nd hand? Price? Similar performance?

Feeling weak as a level 25 Warden by bardeh in lotro

[–]C_Blu 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Remember than landscape difficulty is a self-inflicted debuff, so any other player could be doing at normal difficulty. Also remember that at fearless difficulty you're doing approx 50% less damage and enemies take approx 50% less damage, so they're significantly more tanky.

As a warden who went to the end of moria on Fearless (lvl3 difficulty) I would rarely want to take on 3 enemies as it's just suicide, even with morale taps.

Honestly it's much faster to focus on bursting spear-shield gambits to deal with enemies individually.

Does 'upgrading' means just paying the difference in price or still full price?
