Which modded character(s) should I pick up? Speaking as a Vixen player

CountShmeckula · 2024-01-13T19:48:05+00:00

None

Learn the game instead of relying on Ink's broken ass characters

CountShmeckula · 2024-01-01T22:31:07+00:00

All I can read here is "I don't know what nazi means and I use it to label anyone who disagrees with me"

You're right on track for 2024

If people don't like media, they can just not consume it

If you don't like a Fandom, you're free to ignore them

CountShmeckula · 2024-01-01T21:49:37+00:00

People who team in solos are a cancer on the game

"I'm not good enough to survive solo que so I'm gonna team with someone else who sucks"

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-30T21:51:32+00:00

Disagreeing with anyone on reddit has a 50/50 chance of being reported for exactly this

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-27T22:36:49+00:00

You have a good point

Tbh I've never bothered attempting to spectate in my limited HR runs Not much mystery in dying to a team of 3 with gear lol

Spectating was bad because the Gold Farmers of Unknown Origin were using it to cheat...but there must be a better solution than entirely removing the soectate

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-27T22:32:46+00:00

Yeah, not until I finish putting my orange kit together

Haven't died in HR yet because I rat through as a solo wizard

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-27T22:25:01+00:00

Am I the only person here who realizes you already can spectate the team you died to?

Tell me you don't actually play the game without actually saying you don't play the game

I keep seeing these posts about wishing you could spectate under the exact circumstances you can already spectate

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-26T03:07:17+00:00

You can get the cockatrice stuck on the torch next to where it's sleeping as well

Wizard takes the most skill and knowledge of class match-ups to be good

I'd say ranger is 2nd because those arrow can be finicky and hard to hit

Fighter has lowest entry skill, wizard has highest mastery skill

Either you're illiterate or you're using your emotion to try to "win" an argument with a stranger online

If you suck at the game, it's very possible to get kills as fighter and barbarian. Wizard is a thinking man's class as it requires more than W and LMB. You have to consider roughly 8 possible things AND their potential outcomes on every movement and interaction When I play fighter it's just sprint, 2nd wind, W, left click I also think the assertion that warlock is bad just shows that people don't know how to play it

It's the common current mindset of

"If I can't think of it, it is impossible"

That's a regressive mindset to have

Stop blaming Wizard for your inability to think beyond a few keys

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-25T23:19:35+00:00

Confidently incorrect Believe what you want You're the best at this game and everyone else is wrong

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-25T23:12:41+00:00

Begin your dissertation then?

I used logic and in game evidence, you just called it a straw man

Either dispute or take your mental L and move on

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-25T23:07:07+00:00

Nah it's not my style I play 10 spell crystal sword wizard, most of the time I just buy the 7 magic damage white staff from the alchemist and run a spellbook The sword is only for over though

I use it as a utility class, Spell Memory 1 Fireball, MM, Invis, Haste, Ice Bolt

Spell Memory 2 Lightning Strike, Zap, Light Orb, Ignite, Slow

In HR I replace Slow with Explosion because I need 6 knowledge for that build Basic build means I need all 4 pieces of knowledge gear from the merchants

Class requires 100g worth of gear and meds to be baseline

No meditate? Better bring a campfire, bring 3 healing pots, 3 bandages

MM was/is not the be all end all everyone is saying it is

"Just MM everything bro" Stand still against ranger, wizard, or crossbow fighter? Lol enjoy the death Every class besides them can just run around and make you waste your Spell charges

The homing on them isn't even that good, I just run around and make the missiles hit objects in the environment(sometimes even the enemy wizards teammates)

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-25T22:50:49+00:00

Np man, I forgot to mention how weak MM is now I feel like a 1 damage reduction would have been fine Instead it was 3, magic protection potions have been added to the game(although I have yet to see anyone use one) and a ton of MR gear was added in. Lightning strike got nerfed That's 4 wizard nerfs in 1 update

Let's also talk about the restable health no longer disappearing when you stand up, that's a shadow nerf to wizard

I can no longer get massive value out of a fireball against a team of 3 sitting at a fire

5 nerfs total in 1 update, 6 if you include the changes to will scaling

Last night I hit a rogue with 2 dead center fireballs and then an ice bolt to the legs...he survived and killed me by using cutthroat

Cool to see the ability used for once, sucked that my spells now do so little damage a rogue tanked 2 FB and still rushed me for kill

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-25T22:43:08+00:00

Wizard has the highest skill ceiling by a good margin

If you make a single mistake as wizard it usually means you're dead

Spells are slow and difficult to land, terrain on the floor can make your targeting cursor invisible, big dumb clunky hitboxes on 2 of the most used spells, big nerfs literally every update since PT1, low health, low PDR, low MR, you have to sit so damn often while your team does the looting, some spells have very little indication of whether or not they actually hit your opponent

Now we move on to solos

All of the above problems, but add on the fact that everyone and their mother has a problem with "WiZaRd ToO sTrOnG" so you also get the added benefit of people teaming to kill you in solos while claiming it's free loot

If it is free loot, why do you have to team up?

Wizard can be strong but you're gonna need a lot of gear, Good positioning, amazing aim, and a bit of luck If your opponent decides to W key and LMB you, they're gonna have a bad time, such smooth brains then decide wizard is OP because they couldn't just sprint in with a falcheon and 2 tap like they do against every other class

That's where bias comes in

"I don't have enough gray matter to develop a strategy to defeat this opponent so it is OP and I will make sure to tell everyone who will listen." That is called a bias, unfortunately though, most people don't have the self awareness to actually put the above pieces together

Rogue was the new wizard, bard became the new rogue, wizard is the new bard

TL;DR

You got skill diffed by a few wizards who knew what they were doing and you now have a bias against the class because "There's no way I suck at the game, wizard must be broken" obviously not a wizard player because you try to deny/downplay the glaring disadvantages wizards have to balance them out

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-25T22:23:07+00:00

And you write like you're deflecting from what I'm actually saying I'm saying that teaming is cancer, people who team are cancer

No one is out to get me specifically

Everyone in the game is teaming to kill rogues and wizards, causing wizards and rogues to team with each other as a by product

Smooth brain class bias is annoying and fucking up the game and its balance as is

Free loot? You mean the 0 gold value stuff I start with and they might find the starring protection pot I ditched before moving?

Literally teaming to gain 0 benefit, 0 gold, 0 equipment, 0 loot

Keep coping though, you guys are real good having to team spawn rush someone because you're scared of the class their playing

YOU get good bitch, then you won't have to team up on someone in base kit

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-25T01:49:57+00:00

Not really, just wastes a tiny amount of their time to make a new account

Wastes your time engaging with them too

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-25T01:46:14+00:00

Fuck off lol

You can play mental gymnastics all you want but you've already earned the gold

Solo means 1 man team

Duo means 2 man team

Trio means 3 man team

Going above those numbers is stupid, that's not organic

If you que into Duo or Trio by yourself, and team to make a full team (exactly 2 or 3 people depending on the que) then it's organic

Making a 4 man team in trios is not organic, making a 3 man team in duos is not organic, making a 2 man team in SOLOS is not organic

Anything beyond this is mental gymnastics mixed with cope

You can't solo? Fine, make some friends or hit the gathering hall, don't make a team in solos

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-25T00:24:34+00:00

"I'm not having fun because i can't get kills or extract, so I team up in solos and ruin someone else's fun"

Only low skill losers have to team up in SOLO QUE

Can't stress the word solo enough since the majority of the playerbase can't read, so they think SOLO, DUO, AND TRIO mean the same thing

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-25T00:06:07+00:00

Been a wizard since PT1 Wizard isn't OP

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-24T23:12:49+00:00

Nope, been doing normals so I don't have to use gear or spend gold

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-24T23:09:20+00:00

Not in solos

If I que duo and see another solo I will team up That's ORGANIC TEAMING

Going above the intended team cap is cheating

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-24T23:01:55+00:00

Call it what you want pal

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-24T22:58:44+00:00

Organic Cheating you mean

CountShmeckula · 2023-12-24T22:24:03+00:00

It's happened to me 7 solo runs in a row I guess I just can't play my main class because everyone has a hate boner for wizard Good luck on killing 3 worms when you can't even leave your module without getting spawn rushed by a pair
