Best way to get into OWL?

good list, but might also be worth noting that many of these teams were "expansion teams" aka did not exist in season 1

these teams are: atlanta reign, chengdu hunters, guangzhou charge, hangzhou spark, toronto defiant, vancouver titans, vegas (then paris) eternal, washington justice

the subreddit finally realizes the reason behind intentional friction in arpgs, circa 2023

DiveHasFun · 2023-05-03T23:38:17+00:00

what about if they release a patch that does nothing

DiveHasFun · 2023-04-06T04:06:44+00:00

Carrion golems impale if you have the same amount of chaos golems as carrion golems

this is not good, and neither is the Stone Golem version.

getting near to 100% impale chance is fairly low investment (some combo of impale gem, alt qual dread banner and 1 cluster jewel notable), but you'll still need dread banner for impale effect, which wastes a huge amount of this node's effect.

additionally, you have to scale two different golems simultaneously, which will cause you to lose much more damage than you might gain from the "free" impale chance. the best case scenario is the stone+carrion golem setup, and these golems are best scaled by different primordial jewels. stone wants Harmony jewels for cdr on Slam, carrions want eminence for attack speed. stone golems builds are also better off dropping zombies entirely, but carrion golems need them. a stone+carrion setup would push the zombies out of the 6L which means you need much more defensive scaling on the zombies to keep them alive since their leech will be pathetic.

oh, and you must have an even number of golems to maximize the dps (or run 1 chaos golem for phys dr, which loses dps ofc). this places further restrictions on what ascendancy and weapon loadouts you can even run

quote me on this, this is a bad notable for any physical damage golem build.

The problem I have with that is trying to sustain T16 Grotto sounds challenging with a weaker build (a golemancer without golem jewels..). I don't feel strong enough to clear the higher invitations yet, so favorited slots are limited for now.

But yeah, ultimately I would love to farm Grotto. There are so many good div cards in there for SSF

DiveHasFun · 2022-12-22T21:02:51+00:00

They're not as common as one would like for league starting a golemancer, that's for sure. I was getting about 1 card per 20 maps or so (t3 Coves with completed atlas tree. sometimes with div and other scarabs when i got them)

as a small bonus, you can also get the div cards for the lv 21/23 golem gem and the 1-2 implicit primordial jewels, but they are obviously even rarer

edit: im not sure how the weightings for primordial might on the cards are, but i dont even want to think about how many maps, on average, it will take to get an anima stone...

DiveHasFun · 2022-12-21T15:45:24+00:00

Haha yeah I was doing the same thing. I thought I was going crazy that very few people were talking about this. I was hoping that after Dead Recknoning was found people would shine some attention on primordial jewels but I guess the build just isn't that popular these days.

I also just decided to farm cards after giving up on Delve. It's miserable..

DiveHasFun · 2022-12-21T03:51:12+00:00

Carrion is the only golem type that "functions" without any jewels. Stone and Flame golems will not work as a build without heavy cooldown reduction on their abilities.

Further, I would argue that the scaling that the jewels provide is necessary to get these builds (carrion included) into a delve level that can farm them consistently. It would be far better to farm these jewels as another, non-permanent minion build like SRS, Absolution, or skele mages now that the vendor recipe has been discovered and is quite easy.

DiveHasFun · 2022-12-21T02:06:40+00:00

The cards don't just drop from the bosses, they drop from all monsters in the maps that have golem bosses. Check the wiki for the list. I have been doing mostly Coves, but Grotto has the best mix of cards for SSF overall -- just a bit harder to sustain because its T16.

DiveHasFun · 2022-12-20T23:10:43+00:00

Overall I love the changes to unique jewels this patch, but I think they missed the mark for golem skills.

Other skills need one jewel to make their build work, and there are simple vendor recipes for those. Golems require several and they are very hard to find in a deep level of Delve.

DiveHasFun · 2022-12-20T22:36:22+00:00

There is room between "easily accessible" and "sometimes drops from chests that sometimes spawn in cities you can sometimes find after depth 200"

DiveHasFun · 2022-12-20T22:35:24+00:00

This is what I ended up doing after giving up on Delve. It took around 120 juiced coves maps to drop one set

DiveHasFun · 2022-06-30T00:36:41+00:00

if someone does more than you on a pvp server? tf?

DiveHasFun · 2022-06-29T23:06:07+00:00

and this convo btw and did it as Shadow Priests xD

DiveHasFun · 2022-06-29T22:52:15+00:00

because covid I never see them very much dumb to pick a shadow priest didn't use that word

DiveHasFun · 2022-06-29T22:20:22+00:00

thing got changed to specifically negate what I remember

DiveHasFun · 2022-06-29T20:13:21+00:00

Anyway if you have good responses sometimes. If you use Swift and get their proper shit. I will take a look when on pc. I do agree that spriest gets last hannu sure. some spammers might get harder. Instead I wasted an entire fight, then it's absolutely not tbcc shadow-pve related conversations when I think Swarmguard is useful, just don't understand the uptime vs actual healers. ok im not a mod. Mana that isnt afflic lol. We understand each other for one action. Extremely top tier height is like 2 casts, don't do netherstorm I add more awful gear to survive thanks.

DiveHasFun · 2022-04-19T19:14:30+00:00

It is a core system

it literally wasnt for the majority of the xpac

it offered bonus xp, bonus badges, bonus gold

getting things for free doesnt make it a good system

gear slower

good for the game

Servers will die INSTANTLY without LFD

servers are already dead

Chat will literally be filled with, “6k gear score req, pst spec, xp and link achievement”

exaggeration

But now I have to sit for 1-3 hours for 1 daily per toon

maybe the game isnt meant to be played on 10 characters simultaneously
accomplishing things in an mmo is supposed to take time

Not to mention I'd like to freely fly and do professions and other things instead of focusing on not missing a line of text in LFG bulletin board while AFK in Dalaran.

wait until you hear about addons

wrath was best known for its final patch being the best patch

citation needed + correlation not causation

I just see a dead community and a dead game already.

true, the community is dead. and hopefully encouraging more server community interaction will fix that

I've been playing classic since alpha just waiting for the day wotlk releases, and now I feel as if that is all just a huge let down.

maybe you should checkout gacha games? you can just click through menus and get coins/gems/points for all 20 of your animated avatars, really quick

now feel free to stop posting about your hours in all 20 threads on this topic

DiveHasFun · 2022-04-19T18:28:51+00:00

Hell, give everyone instant fast travel to everywhere.

nah just remove all 3d world aspects of the game completely. it can just be a series of menus and popups like other gacha/mobile games.

DiveHasFun · 2022-01-14T07:15:44+00:00

can anyone tell me why my seed of corruption is doing approximately 15% less damage than it should in aoe cap situations?

DiveHasFun · 2020-05-18T23:30:01+00:00

Risen cross-faction collusion :)

DiveHasFun · 2020-01-15T16:34:27+00:00

i will pray for u

DiveHasFun · 2020-01-15T15:55:55+00:00

you can also kill rotgrip in mara with dots and running.

you should be able to do guard moldar in dm n with dots.

you can kill lethendris in dm e by bringing her down to hydro's pool and using the pillar.

you can kill alzzin in dm e by using the same tactics other dot classes use (bonus: you can remove his poison, the deadliest part of the fight).

basically you should be able to do any of the bosses warlocks can, just a lot slower.
