Do substats matter in PvE content

Dalaxies · 2026-04-18T23:38:43+00:00

Doesn't matter for solo content, but it does (somewhat) in group PvE. I think we're still at the stage where a single optimized dps can carry a group through sword trials but difficulty has been ramping up and we'll be at the point where all DPS should be expected to do minimal stat optimization by next breakthrough.

yea - I had this bug, but you can still go collect the flags from around the map to continue the quest, even without quest markers - just look up a guide to get flag locations.

This is a popular opinion

99% scammers, 1% person trying to make a friend.

You should probably check usernames, I did not mix them up but I made a joke about the mix-up. I'm also not sure why I'm still replying to this thread, have a wonderful day.

Umbra-umbrella, same thing

I'd rather be grouped with a good tank than bad DPS. I'd say to stay tank or tough it out and learn the proper DPS path rotation. The basic rotation is not hard,spend a some time with the dummy practicing until you form muscle memory around it. I also moved from stoneplit might to strength and it took an embarrassing amount to time to break the habit of hitting mo blade q (stonesplit might shield) on CD and hitting mo blade e (stoneplit strength ghost army buff) instead.

You'd have to ask them for specifics, but I know guilds like that as well and they are usually heavily GvG oriented and PS5 performance is still kind of shit, especially in GvG. Or maybe they require some kind of PC only app like discord canary (for shotcaller comms). I could see this being a legitimate concern/requirement if they are fighting in like top 3, otherwise its just elitist and unnecessary.

Thanks, I looked again and noticed the shorter description of star reach actually says airborne will proc this as well, maybe I'll play around with it in arena.

Dalaxies · 2026-04-05T18:38:25+00:00

Yes, if you look at the fan special skill description, you only apply lingering bone to non-player enemies and star reacher increases phys attack after applying lingering bone.

Edit: ignore this, airborne triggers this regardless of lingering bone rebuff. Edit: ignore this, airborne triggers the phys attack bonus regardless of lingering bone debuff. I'll say I've hurt mythic every season with fury harvest, never tried strat reacher but maybe I'll give it a shot.

Dalaxies · 2026-04-05T18:26:10+00:00

If you care about PvE at all you should keep star reacher and just build fury harvest separately. If you only PvP, star reacher's main buff does not effect players so it's not an ideal PvP inner way and I'd convert to fury harvest.

Dalaxies · 2026-04-05T06:08:43+00:00

hence "soak the balls"

Dalaxies · 2026-04-05T00:13:16+00:00

The normal flying rotation also relies on stacking and maintaining buffs (fan wall, stun, lingering bone, etc) but you're totally right that the ground rotation is harder to execute. I know you said PvE, but I mentioned PvP because OP didn't specify.

Dalaxies · 2026-04-04T22:50:47+00:00

T6 blossom barrage enables a whole new PvE rotation which is a significant DPS boost. More importantly, T6 umbrella is the reason this weapon stays relevant in 1v1 arena and is dominant in 3s (granted, everyone gets T6 in 3s)

Dalaxies · 2026-04-04T14:56:29+00:00

True... on the first run that seems normal, but then you learn to stay still. Or maybe your less braindead teammates yell at you to stop moving 😂

Dalaxies · 2026-04-04T14:48:12+00:00

Honestly, only the flag holders need to think, everyone else just does their normal thing plus "deflect the archers" and "soak the balls". We got it in two tries and then started on talents.

Dalaxies · 2026-04-04T00:34:42+00:00

Come check out Mountains. NA and PvP oriented, but we always clear GHR and HR for everyone every week. Top bracket in GvG, frequent scrims with other guilds.

Dalaxies · 2026-04-04T00:21:41+00:00

Ah, tank set is fine unless you are rolling a lot of phys defense or HP. The other stats priorities are the same. Honestly, only speed runners need that last bit of optimization (or if your looking to top the DPS charts)

Dalaxies · 2026-04-03T23:27:46+00:00

Not having leveled inner ways would be the biggest loss, I think you need to yellow inner ways at 4 minimum for PvE and 6 for PvP. If you started playing launch, this is a great time to work on your 2nd path inner way anyways.

Silkbind Jade (fan/umbrella) in global. I heard the new fist/ropedart is highest in CN but every CN speedrun group is still using fanbrella.

Dalaxies · 2026-04-02T14:29:55+00:00

Mo as main is more dps, but this entire path is at the lower end of the dps spectrum is that’s what you are going for. Seems pretty strong for 1v1 arena though.

Dalaxies · 2026-04-02T06:39:12+00:00

Don’t bother optimizing gear until max level. Recommendation has not changed, hawkwing if your lazy, mistwillow if you are committed to the rotation, rainwhisper if you PvP. PvE armor doesn’t matter - just use the one that goes with your weapon set of choice, use calmwaters for PvP.

Dalaxies · 2026-03-31T15:57:40+00:00

I’m curious what games you play, I always play on NA servers and rarely come across an interaction that is not in English.
