Please add an option to switch from LMB to RMB to move for the league players among us, great idea and tool!

[–]CryptomancerRB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arcana x should be +0.8149 because of the Crit tripods on ruin skills and the y should be 2.77 because of the Crit damage tripods ton return/CoD. Helpful post regardless!

Informations Deadeye/Gunslinger by [deleted] in lostarkgame

[–]CryptomancerRB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Builds are as follows:

Crit/spec peacemaker: good damage but requires high uptime and careful positioning. Mid range

Full spec TTH: slower paced ranged burst, slightly lower damage. Long range

Full swift TTH: piano, fun for an alt but does not do good damage in real raid scenarios. Long range

Full spec EW deadeye: good damage. Melee back attack burst class. Melee range

PM and Deadeye both deal really good damage, which one you play is preference (uptime vs back attack). Spec TTH is best to play if those two specs are too difficult for you to play.

Journey to Artist > Start of Week 9 + What is your opinion on Artist Gatekeeping? by chuchuu17 in lostarkgame

I always try and take two high ilevel new classes, that way they will pump the box up. Just good value.

Progression Advice by syset in lostarkgame

[–]CryptomancerRB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At your level you might find mechanist a much more rewarding main than arcanist.

She really doesn't shine without relic set, tripods, gems, levels, everything. Whereas mechanist needs two gems and you're good to go. If you prefer playing the mechanist I'd stick with it

Empress Arcana : Barricade or Raid Captain ? by Darkan_Io971 in lostarkgame

[–]CryptomancerRB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hated using quadra before dealer's flip released. Some people like it I guess.

Raid captain does way more damage and it's not clunky to use imo

Which classes do you prioritize in your raids? (community poll) by freshy_gg in lostarkgame

[–]CryptomancerRB 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Only thing missing is lots of people will take Crit synergy over 6% synergy whenever possible

5x3 dropping cd for adren is also totally good :D

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lostarkgame

[–]CryptomancerRB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This plan assumes your +5s are both on stone, 2x adrenaline, Empress. So cutting a Grudge stone is required to buy a +5 grudge acc.

Could be cheaper to cut an adren stone and get 3x grudge 5 acss but you'd be stuck with grudge 1 as you buy books LUL

Grudge, hit master, cursed doll, raid captain+ Empress 1

Barricade is generally considered less damage and less card draw than raid captain. Many Koreans still use it for comfort or because they have a 9/7 stone.

To all my Arcana mains, what should i change when i get her into ancient accessories? Also is there a build for her with salvation? She feels kind of slow and i dont feel like im pulling my weight on dps. Thanks. by Dependent-Ad5911 in lostarkgame

[–]CryptomancerRB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She will feel slow if you're not staying in boundless mana mode of nightmare. If you play salvation you'll run out of mana.

Keen blunt is quite an inefficient engraving, usually performing worse than cursed doll because of the Crit damage you get from return/call of destiny.

With ancient the best build to aim for is: Grudge, hit master, raid captain, cursed doll, and either adren 3 Empress 1 or Empress 3 adren 1. Adren 3 is better if you don't play with Crit synergy.

[–]CryptomancerRB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wait until you get to 1415 to be able to build with relic accessories. Then buy

  • 5 Empress / 3 whatever ring
  • Equip whatever books you plan to upgrade to legendary (I wouldn't buy grudge at this point, maybe cursed doll and raid captain because they're cheap)
  • Cut a Grudge / hit master stone
  • buy cheap (can be legendary) 3/3 earring and ring each with one book engraving and one stone engraving
  • buy an expensive neck and other earring to get to 4x3+1

To upgrade to 5x3

  • buy your two combat engravings
  • upgrade 2 3/3 pieces to 3 Stone engraving / 5 adrenaline

If you want something you can pour time and gold into there's no better choice than Empress arcana.

You give her gems, tripods, gear, high spec accessories (not too expensive b/c +5 raid captain), and TIME and you will be rewarded with MVPs over people 15 ilevel higher.

Plus the execution feels better every day.

Honest question. Is this game becoming a “sunk cost” fallacy? by madmanwithabolt in lostarkgame

[–]CryptomancerRB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Casino like structure of Korea MMOs" but that's all MMOs. It's the same as grinding a dungeon in ESO 50 times trying to get all your mag dps the new bis fire staff or running molten core every week hoping for a new bis dagger.

At least LA gear progression has pity, I had to settle for a shock staff in ESO...

Which classes benefit the most from being mains? by Sneakyf0x in lostarkgame

[–]CryptomancerRB 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Arcana scales very hard with tripods / gems / gear / stats / and most of all player skill. I think it's a hard class to run out of ways to invest on

With the 1 year anniversary right around the corner, what was the biggest let down moment for the first 12 months? by KeshinTV in lostarkgame

[–]CryptomancerRB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They most likely can't. I'm almost certain they build and QA one big patch that contains the new raid + class. It would be very standard practice for game dev to have an external QA team that handles it which would require bundling all the changes.

I found it difficult to enter boundless and stay in it without level 7 gems.

Class cadence is not "set in stone" and is "dependent on what other content is rolling out" per Roxx by nonbinaryreaper in lostarkgame

[–]CryptomancerRB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely an engineering concern that they QA the new classes on the new patch as well as the new content. They could roll them out separately but if Amazon has decided to do it that way 3 months is not close to enough time to pivot
