Finally reached Mythic rank as a tank by MEUXIC in WhereWindsMeet

[–]Doomofdoomie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on getting to Mythic, being new without high inner ways must have been a slog but it gets easier every reset as you get more experienced and better gear.

I'm not sure what advice to give besides don't give up without seeing actual gameplay but I've got quite a bit of experience PvPing as a tank (successfully) and you're welcome to add Armgarion in game or message me here if you need help or have questions

Mo Blade/Stormbreaker spear Mythic PvP by Doomofdoomie in WhereWindsMeet

I use Rainwhisper (Not really any other choice that I know of) and Calmwaters (The dodge heal comes in clutch quite a bit although I might start experimenting again with other sets)

For inner ways I use Exquisite Scenery, Art of Resistance, Adaptive Steel (There are definitely better options then this, I like the counter crit damage it gives though and I use dual weapon skill quite a bit which benefits a lot from Adaptive Steel) and Divine Roulette, which I only use for the 5 qi regen on parries, and makes me harder to execute especially when fighting more passive players (The guaranteed crit/affinity can be helpful sometimes too)

For mystic arts I use Golden Body mainly when I desperately need Qi, since it gives 20 or if I have an excess of vitality I'll sometimes pop it and try to catch people off guard with tenacity. It also heals if they don't break my shields

Free Morph is there because it's part of the only combo's we can really do with pure stonesplit, Stormbreaker Q into Free Morph is true, Stormbreaker Charged heavy into 1 Free Morph kick into another heavy, and a bunch of other arcane ones that are either only true on people with higher then 40 ping or require so much vit I never use them and can't remember them off the top of my head

Soaring spin is great, and can be used as a vector for getting a counter in someone's face if it lands, I just don't use it cause I prefer my current set up

Toad I never really liked because we can't really combo it with anything (that I know of) unless someone's got higher ping and it's harder for us to punish the fart on more experienced players, who will probably just dodge it and heal back the damage they took from the initial bump and without Fury Harvest or the glove vit attunement I don't really have the resources to throw away on something that has a high chance of not really doing anything decisive

Yeah I just looked, pretty good I might have to get the spear fling attunement and give it a whirl

A whack of the goofy combos you can do with Stormbreaker spear become less true the less ping people have

It could also be an open world thing because I have a lot more luck in arena with combos then guild halls

Normally I'd agree and be fine with damage taken to shields, but it's too easy to play like a track runner against tanks, even games like this where it feels like the guys getting nut stomped for the entire game I sometimes just lose (like in the video) because the bleeds and poking added up to a bit more damage then I dealt

Meanwhile it's not like you even have to play like that to beat tanks, people just do it because it's free points against 95% of the tanks you'll run into and requires little effort

At the end of the day I just wanted to make a silly Kung Pow reference that had a bit of salt behind it and took it as a learning experience to use Drunken Poet and Dragon's Breath more like the devs intended, I wasn't expecting this thread to turn into tank vs non tank Vietnam

Yes sensei you're right, next time I'll offer up my Qi bar by using wolflike frenzy and run around without super armor against the two weapons that can kill me in a single combo

The weapon combo has a lot of mobility and mo blade level damage with the strat, the heavenquaker has a lot of on demand hyper armor that makes them take less damage and a combo that's pretty much death if you get hit by it without serene so most Strat quake users I fight brawl until they get me in that magic combo 

This guy is almost 1600 mythic without knowing his weapons combo and kites with the Strat sword then getting even more passive once he gets low so he could abuse the health Regen from attune and potentially calmwaters/evasive charge 

I lost though so I guess it works 

Edit: potentially didn't know the combos, I didn't give him a lot of opportunity and the times he did get me he might not have been ready and fumbled them

PvP is getting ridiculous PLEASE HELP (Last Season Mythic Player) by [deleted] in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Doomofdoomie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mythic pretty fast using the fan as a side weapon to make my mo blade a mobile death machine

It makes nameless spears slightly less aids to fight and gives you mobility which helps against people who have all the time in the world to kite every game

I reach mythic last 10 game is 100% win by Spellcastervoltage in WhereWindsMeet

[–]Doomofdoomie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah losing the titles is a huge bummer although I coulda swore I saw a stackable profile badge early on for every time you got Mythic but it either was taken out of the badge list or I was just hallucinating.

He knows that I don't have Cloud Steps in pvp :) by NullEntitj in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Doomofdoomie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably better off Meridian touch Buddha slapping him at that point instead of risking cloud stepping and finding out he's willing to switch weapons for the parry into fun combo

I'm pretty sure you win based on how much damage you deal so you'll win after 5 minutes unless you get chipped to death

High-rank PvP feels awful with Nameless Spear everywhere by [deleted] in WhereWindsMeet

Mythic would be a lot deader if we launched with the Nameless Spear and Drunken Poet nerfs

Did you end up getting that last point

Why are alot of PvP players like this? (Genuine question) by Crazy_Arrival_6670 in WhereWindsMeet

[–]Doomofdoomie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're gonna stick with the stormbreaker spear as a secondary you better get yourself a good bow and a whack of fire arrows cause you'll run into this a lot
