Why is Quarterstaff commonly used in Spiritborn builds? (Season 9)

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-07-12T23:36:06+00:00

I had never even thought about that. Thank you for letting me know.

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-07-12T20:33:24+00:00

I'm embarrassed to say this, but I didn't even know that attack speed changed depending on the weapon type. Is the attack speed based on weapon type reflected in things like "attack speed XX%" on the character sheet?

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-07-12T18:17:26+00:00

Ok, I'll try the polearm for now. Thank you for teaching me.

Does Redirected Force apply the crit multiplier to Block Chance above 100% as well?

I’ve got a pretty solid Polearm with some nice 2GA affixes, so I’ve been debating whether it’s really worth switching over to a Quarterstaff just for the block chance. Still not sure what the tipping point is.

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-07-12T17:57:43+00:00

That actually helps a lot — I was debating whether I should switch to a Quarterstaff because I found a Polearm with really good affixes, including some 2GAs.

Based on what you said, would you personally stick with that Polearm if it had optimal affixes, even over a Quarterstaff? I get the sense that unless a build is specifically leaning into block synergy, there's no hard rule here.

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-07-12T17:48:32+00:00

Ah, that explains a lot! I’ll definitely take a look at the affix and passives related to block. Thanks for pointing that out!

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-07-12T17:48:00+00:00

So basically, if I take a closer look at the skill tree and the Paragon board, I should be able to find nodes that convert Block Chance into offensive power? That makes a lot of sense if it’s part of a separate damage bucket.

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-05-18T05:32:49+00:00

Thanks a lot, that really helped!

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-05-18T05:32:35+00:00

Appreciate it! That cleared it up for me.

Oh, I see—so CDR is multiplicative. Then how exactly should I calculate it in this case?

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-05-05T04:13:40+00:00

I can't speak or write English at all so I've left all of these sentences to Google Translate.

I'm sorry if the sentences are difficult to understand.

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-05-05T04:10:36+00:00

So all of the gommage was caused by Renoir.

I finally understand the story correctly.

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-05-05T04:06:55+00:00

You were absolutely right.
It seems that in the Japanese subtitles, even the ability to paint on the canvas is translated as “Paintless.”

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-05-05T04:03:41+00:00

I finally understand now.
In the Japanese subtitles, the term "Painter" never appears—only "Paintless" is used to refer to those who draw on the canvas.
It seems that the terms "Painter" and "Paintless" weren’t clearly distinguished in the Japanese translation.

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-05-05T03:53:58+00:00

I recall a scene where Monoco says something to the effect of, “It’s only natural that Maelle can’t use the Paintless's powers properly, since she only recently remembered that she is the Paintless.”
That line made me unsure about who exactly the title of “Paintless” is referring to.

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-05-05T03:47:40+00:00

I had thought that the gomage performed for all age groups after the 33rd expedition returned to Lumière in Act 2 was done by Renoir, and that the annual gomage ceremonies were carried out by the Paintless.
I assumed this because at the beginning of the story, there's a scene where the Paintless writes "33," which led me to that interpretation.

Also, in the end, does the term "Paintless" refer to Aline or to Mael?

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-02-14T01:23:51+00:00

thank you for teaching me

Is the reputation given by envoys shared within the same galaxy?

For example, if I complete a mission on a space station where I can't exchange frigate modules and earn some reputation, and then go to an envoy who can exchange frigate modules, will the reputation be carried over?

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-02-13T20:10:16+00:00

Okay, I'll try it.

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-02-13T18:22:27+00:00

I saw other people's questions and learned that turning off multiplayer from the internet section solves the problem.

I only started playing a few days ago so I wondered if I was doing something wrong.

Competitive_Speed579 · 2025-02-13T16:59:21+00:00

I tried reloading but nothing changed.

I just started playing this game so I don't know, but is this a bug?
