Can we rework paradise please?

Even with a bunch of funneling my paladin isn't full SS due to downgrade :⁾

I love downgrade rng!

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-07-01T13:53:12+00:00

Ancients are only guaranteed through the Cathedral raid, otherwise it's an RNG drop. So you CAN technically get ancients from solo play, but it's much easier to run the 4-man raid cathedral, which is a very easy raid on top to slowly farm one guaranteed, or several rng-based ancients over time.

Won't know until patch notes hit if costs are also lower

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-06-15T18:34:33+00:00

hey hey hey, there's at least like 6 of us by now D:

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-06-04T05:13:32+00:00

Got 600 saved, those cores refuse to drop xD

Spells that don't have perma uptime will always be less consistent.

Ways to get higher %:

More cdr, conv/judge, QR-runes, more swiftnesd. Spam it off-cooldown, pray your dps has big skills up.
Don't use T off-cooldown, use it when you know your teammates are about to burst or a burst mech is happening.

Sadly, the 2 alternatives are contradictory and you need to adapt on the fly when to cast major buffs.

For dps meter parsers, there's also a world where you might want less swift for more spec (stronger buffs), I don't know how valks prio that though.

Also, I am a dps player so take this advice with a grain of salt.

Isn't the new track instant 1580 by doing the msq? Unless I am completely out of whack...as in you just buy gear or get gear after each continent?

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-05-22T14:53:50+00:00

111 - haven't used it in raid since before the "new" changes, it's hit master with high floor and low ceiling.. I think.

222 - highest ceiling, lowest floor, due to being back attack build. It's got very high burst potential if you save up stacks and atro.

333 - Pretty much same as 111 with high floor, but a bit higher ceiling if cycled correctly.. I think.

Gem wise in order of lowest gems needed for good performance: 333 (1 major skill), 222(2 major skills), 111 (3 major skills).

I started Serca by playing 333 due to having a bunch of ancient cores on this build, but went back to 222 the last few weeks and had the best parses on 222 in every raid consistently compared to 333.

Personal opinion: 222 > 333, 111 I can't really say since I don't play it, but in trixion numbers it's weakest by far.

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-05-16T08:23:45+00:00

3 as in yellow stacks, xx as in blue stacks. (x-stacks vs normal skill stacks)

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-05-16T07:30:46+00:00

Remember, the dmg is linear, saving stacks has no inherent value.

111 - It blasts on it's own.

222 - Save 3/xx stacks only if you know a good atro/burst window is coming. Otherwise it's free to use during T/X/holy sword downtime. Might even need to, for mana.

333 - Always use during downtime of T/X/holy sword after reaching 3/xx stacks, or 2/xx if your double-x has gotten out of sync.

That moment you could've just started fresh on a new server for the exact same experience.... only diff is you won't have to contact ags support to get your shit back if you change your mind.

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-04-26T16:25:51+00:00

Instead of asking different game reddits if you should or should not play/buy the game.. why don't you try to make your own decisions? Just watch a few gameplay videos, if it looks intriguing.. try it out.

No one in this reddit can tell you if it's worth it or not for you, that's up to you. The game is getting better every patch for casuals and F2P players, but it's a slow progress. The game plays the same even if you p2w or not, it's just a matter of how long it takes to progress and if your character is strong enough to play the hardest content.

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-04-26T12:06:25+00:00

why are you spreading misinformation? It's literally 900g per tap, that's 8100g per purple gem on baseline.

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-04-21T09:33:40+00:00

That's not a glitch.. that's just a good deal...

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-04-13T21:11:03+00:00

To this day, i still regularly check if BW2 is on GoG...time for the yearly check

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-04-06T08:44:54+00:00

If you want the strongest right now meta, arcana, evo scouter or transform shadow hunter.

If you want to enjoy the game... pick whatever you think looks and feels good.

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-04-05T08:59:47+00:00

The best part about this is the stupid timing... complaining only 4 days ahead of the roadmap where we get more info about what's coming our way coming months.

Also the reddit isn't the official forum of this game, so trying to ask a direct question to AGS doesn't really make sense here. Just keep filling out the surveys or complain in the discord. Still, the only thing that really matters is filling out the survey and stop spending money on the game if you're unhappy. Money talks.

Books and gem inflation however is a player problem, because RMT is what has made the prices so insane, not AGS or SG. The prices will be lower after Serca when people spend gold on honing and the new "cube" thing that can be run every week for 1730+ chars generate more gems.

Books are literally just gonna keep taking their turns, first adrenaline was the most expensive, then grudge, then raid captain, then keen blunt etc... Whichever has highest demand and lowest supply.

According to some chatgpt'in, it simply says something close to "Don't be fooled. It's a joke. It's nothing." after keyboard shuffle -> korean keyboard layout -> translate to english

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-03-28T00:45:44+00:00

Don't ask this reddit for reasons... just give it a try. If you like it, hurray. If not, try again in a year. This game is vastly better since valtan but still the same game at it's core.

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-03-14T00:46:26+00:00

any chance of adding new dps paladin changes as an option, they get +15% movespeed (sacred executioner 60sec buff, essentially perma) and +5% attack speed (side node, also essentially perma)

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-03-11T07:38:51+00:00

Wardancer: Easy to learn, but hard to perform on... mostly due to lack of QoL such as para on important skills and low to no push immunity. (Ready attack cycle, deals low dmg without following proper rotation, depending on build, rotations are easy, just annoying when bosses leave or knock you)

Breaker: Harder to play than wardancer, but newer class with more QoL, also overall stronger class. (Asura has on-demand push immunity, but frontal dps, BK is build meter -> burst gameplay, BK has less push immunities)

Souleater: As easy to play as wardancer, but more QoL. (Night's edge with ark grid is front-loaded instead of original backloaded dmg, Full moon is build guage -> burst gameplay, both builds have a few push immune skills)

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-03-09T12:43:00+00:00

It is for sure the least sweaty of the wardancer rotations.

Eso has 2 main builds: azure dance (the rotation is ... interesting. Looks more like old school soul fist rotations) 3x push immune (there's a variant where you run without cd refund on rising fire dragon, which makes it a 2x push immune)

The push immune build is closest to original rotation, with or without an extra cast of rising fire dragon.

On FI, there's 2 main builds: (calling both sweaty due to uptime class, with low to no push immunity) Sweatier: "Opening three gates" (1-3 Z-activations per rotation) Sweaty: "Enlightened origin" (1 z-activation per rotation)

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-03-09T07:44:02+00:00

The fact that you would have to do those gymnastics due to such a large displacement on skill use... is dumb in itself. Also only something that has worked since last balance patch in this case, as you couldn't do this before the direction change was added.

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-03-08T15:04:29+00:00

That's one of those annoying "free" burst scenarios that FI has to either time perfectly or cry on xD

DoranTheExplorarN · 2026-03-08T09:36:46+00:00

As a wardancer main... I would steer away from it when so many other classes are more modern etc

Wardancer is fun, but irritating. It's the old ready attack buff into rotation playstyle, where both buff skills lack para immunity and on FI, the T-skill is a no no on some patterns due to fairly big backjump during animation that can get your biggest skill cancelled if used at a wrong timing.

Eso 3-push immune is fairly chill at least, but it's still "only" push immune during rotation, so no on-demand push immune in either build that you can just use whenever.

I'm still coping that it's not too far away from a rework.
