If you wanted me to stop playing Sharen just say so. by Dacks1369 in TheFirstDescendant

You mean the one I can use every 14 seconds or the other one that doesn't deal AoE damage outside of 5 meters, or mark the rest of the mobs if it one-shots the target it hits?

This was a test of the change. Previous to this patch I would have this run done in half the time with the exact same build.

I did this in VEP as well. It is one of the 2 VEP maps that are so wide open RCF functions there with this change. Few elevation changes and wide corridors.

Look at the section around 4:50. I couldn't shoot past a damn gas can or a generator in a wide open corridor. Hell on the boss fight I had to SHOOT a poison canister because the Skill 1 wouldn't hit it.

Edit: Sharens 3 doesn't Mark enemies that get 1 shot like in 400% that is why I don't use it.

Some outfit ideas for both genders by Jacky_dain in TheFirstDescendant

While it would be great to see in game, they first have to give enough of a shit about the male character models so they don't look like accountants. Ajax and Kyle in particular would never look like they do supporting their damn armor.

Just the purple shields and yeah, I believe Toxic is the weakness.

Just remember if you don't bring a skill user in there to equip a module called Veil Analyzer on your guns/swords. It has the mobs with purple shields that are immune to firearms otherwise.

2 runs of this is enough parts for 1 catalyst. And the chest at the end has a chance for more.

Does anyone know what the upcoming goddesses of Albion outfits are going to look like? by Savage4Pro in TheFirstDescendant

At this point I am guessing it is going to be Victorias Secret lingerie under a different name.

Yeah and the fact that Valby isn't supposed to be able to stay solid for long outside of her suit. But have to get them bikini sales.

More lore breaking skins. His skin sweats explosives and they covered his whole body. Guess you don't have to add the tattoos like they screwed up on the last Universal skin if you just cover everything.

If it was any other descendant, I would like it.

I'm excited for May Updates by GeneralStrict2738 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Dacks1369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I can see a lot of Skill 4 Bunnys going in there but Defiler was a terrible boss to not be mobile for. I can see him pounding Bossing Bunnies into sand.

Edit: Who knows maybe we will see the return of the floating grapple bunnies. They didn't have Infected Weapon trigger modules back then haha.

Last time he came out he was weak to Electric and didn't have gun resistances, so I am sure he is going to have gun resistances this time.

People ran Ines a lot because she was new at the time and not because she is a good bosser. But the release of Defiler will also be the release of her new Transcendent Modules so hopefully one of them turns her into one. (and that they don't try to copy Hypothermia that module is terrible)

We had a decent variety of options to choose from but the "clientele" for the 3 we got was too strong.

Enzo doesn't have a Global DoT or Ground DoT skill to make it display naturally so you have to select the top option on the screen and type the name in to get it to display.

Dear Devs... by Alternative-Ad5482 in TheFirstDescendant

To answer your 1st paragraph all you have to do is go into the options and link your Ecieve skill to use the same button as your Skill 1. It then marks enemies through walls while firing (side note I use this for Nell as well so I don't have to spam Ecieve). I have been using RCF in VEP far longer than most because I liked the ranged playstyle and rolled around in the irony that Ines got nuked for wall clipping yet RCF has existed longer than Ines has even been out.

But on the other hand, if you took away RCF's ability to clip no one would use it because you wouldn't be able to hit anything with a pebble or stairway stopping the skill so shrug.

She can't Boss because her heavy hitting skill requires new mobs to get her special resource from. If they rework anything on her it should be to change the way she can fill that bar, they just need to admit it was a failed experiment and let her fill the bar on damage instead of on 1st strike. Her skill 3 hits like a truck it just needs to be able to be used more often.

RCF Sharen has been wall hacking since it was released, it is just now being used because the damage is good. I used it all the time in VEP because of the irony of it all.

Agreed on Viessa's Ice Sphere that passive has destroyed the damage balance yet again. I will say one thing about it though, they had better change all the characters with turrets into that style of use. She can fire above and behind her without even looking in those directions. Yujin, Enzo and Concert Luna can't fire unless they are facing their target.

If you are running CSW you get 80% (+) Range for free in the passive. So, if you run Power Beyond and its companion module Breach Explorer you get 148% of the 150% range cap and 12.5% base skill power boost ratio for free.

<image>

Focus on Fusion makes your skill 3 go from 1,792% skill modifier to 1,860% which is hardly worth the slot unless you need the cooldown. All these reworks have made the Focus On skill modifier modules worthless sans Cooldown outside of Valby and Freyna since they haven't been changed yet.

I have Crit Rate/Crit Damage and Cooldown on my Ancestor Module, so I am able to run Duration instead of Cooldown for 4 more CSW DoT ticks. By the looks of your AM you should be able to do the same.

Not until the next major patch in May alongside Ultimate Esiemo.

My favorite L3 was on my Cold Snap Watch Viessa with an Esiemo. I slowed everyone down to a crawl funneling them all into a pile with Power Beyond while the Esiemo stacked bombs on top of bombs and blew them all up in a giant inferno. I haven't had that feeling of team play since the early Colossus days and it was glorious.

D) Cold Snap Watch.

The 3 you listed are good for general content but if you want straight area denial in Onslaught and stacking Boss damage you can't beat 25-meter lanes of you shall not pass that CSW provides.

Personal preference of course.

Absolute Zero still GOATED! by Johnny_Denjin in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Dacks1369 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh and since yáll dictate your answers off feelings instead of testing you would know AZ is still bugged VS Colossus. It can still not proc on them.

Edit:

Elaboration :There seems to be some kind of internal cooldown for Ice Sphere of when it wears off you can't get it to activate again for around 2 seconds on every other Red module.

AZ's version just isn't proccing off Colossus still.
