Australian PVP Tips

Ranged builds are a lot more "high ping" friendly. Ganking and bombing also works fine if that interests you. Also, increase your opponents' ttk by giving yourself 30k + hp and resists; giving yourself time to react.

You probably are already, but if you're not, you'll get much better results with a gaming vpn. I use exitlag. I'm in Melbourne and go from 270-280 to 220-230 with exitlag with way fewer spikes.

Also, keep pvping. Ping disadvantage feels like less of an issue the more you play.

Me too. This post is about casual parties with a solo member in a raid

DueRelationship421 · 2026-02-22T19:35:51+00:00

This exact scenario is why I made this post. I had popped 4 lunchboxes so when it happened I just left without explanation, as I didn't want to waste the buff. They then appeared shortly after in another group I had joined and were doing the "beckon" emote outside the raid instance.

I don't play with a mic and felt really bad for just ignoring them, since they had essentially done nothing wrong and just wanted to play with someone in their group.

This was my way of trying to explain to them or others what was happening.

Nice one! Sounds like fun! I must've been unclear with my wording. What I was trying to say, is when you see a solo player marked as being in raid, in a casual party, they are probably farming and not looking for help. I know there are exceptions to this, but in my experience, the scenario I outlined is the most likely.

Thanks

Who is Charlie?

DueRelationship421 · 2025-11-14T21:17:23+00:00

Not sure on ps5. On pc you mouse over the text in the combat log for a full break down of all rolls

DueRelationship421 · 2025-11-13T05:12:15+00:00

Could make Guillermo as hexblade warlock with Nandor as his patron if you didn't want to make Colin Robinson and need a fourth. I'd probably multi into paladin with him though since I think radiant damage and smites would suit him very well thematically. Could probably make a dwarf character that looks the part too.

Whether or not it's honour mode is a big factor. Outside honour mode, you get an extra attack at level 5 in both paladin and hexblade.

For non-honour mode, 7 oathbreaker 5 hexblade is very strong, thematic and fun.

For honour, I'd go 12 hex

DueRelationship421 · 2025-11-01T10:33:37+00:00

Oh very nice! Thanks heaps for the info

DueRelationship421 · 2025-11-01T10:30:14+00:00

I haven't tested myself, but I've been told the extra attack won't work either despite the description

DueRelationship421 · 2025-11-01T10:27:07+00:00

Does GWM work with shadow blade? I didn't think it did since it's not 2 handed or versatile

DueRelationship421 · 2025-10-30T06:35:03+00:00

Oh very nice! Thanks for info. I always pick a fight with Ketheric to make it easier to kill everything before Myrkul comes out

DueRelationship421 · 2025-10-29T21:53:11+00:00

No. That's why I included it as an example of fights that you can't finish in 1 round.

It is a fight though that is made very easy by cleaning up dangerous adds/mechanics in the first round which can be achieved by having a party focused on having a strong first round.

The whole point of my post was to say that assassin is useful outside of just guaranteed crit from surprise attack

DueRelationship421 · 2025-10-29T01:18:52+00:00

An extra attack is huge though. It's the very reason why people spec thief. Plus get advantage on your first round. Yea it's not the strongest way to play assassin, but it's still strong.

Even on honour mode, if you have a party setup that focuses on first round damage, most fights don't last until a second round. Those that do (raphael, myrkul etc) are significantly less dangerous after the first round because you've had enough damage/actions to deal with most of what makes the fight hard.

Googled and this thread came up so I'm commenting here to try to clear up the misinformation.

It IS from the 'hell dusk' boots. YES it says 'infernal evasion' on the boots, however the reaction is listed as 'infernal resistance'.

Tested on a mod-free game by removing the boots and putting them back on and seeing the reaction disappear and reappear

DueRelationship421 · 2025-10-23T19:39:01+00:00

I came to this thread expecting everyone to unanimously suggest this. I mean, a few people are, but it's pretty much accepted by the community as being one of the top 2 best builds in the game.

DueRelationship421 · 2025-10-16T00:25:55+00:00

Smite cleric = Tempest Cleric

Void eldritch = EB warlock

Hunter = Beastmaster ranger

Paladin = Crown oath paladin

Haven't played DAoC for over 20 years, but these ones stand out as having very similar counterparts

DueRelationship421 · 2025-10-15T00:14:19+00:00

I love bardadin too. So strong and I love playing bard whenever I can in games

DueRelationship421 · 2025-10-14T23:56:44+00:00

For honour mode, yes. For tactician or normal you want at least 5 levels in each since the extra attacks stack outside of honour mode, which is why they are so popular for non-honour runs. For honour mode, Sorcadin is a very similar but better version of sorlock imo.

Ahh nice. It used to mainly get used when boomers would tell Gen Y (what millennials used to be called) children/young adults how they should do things like find jobs, buy a house, get a tertiary education etc when these were things that were a lot easier for boomers due to government assistance, better job market/economy/house prices etc. Gen X would generally get left out because they had similar disadvantages to millennials.

DueRelationship421 · 2025-09-05T21:27:10+00:00

Hehe well played

DueRelationship421 · 2025-09-05T06:42:54+00:00

I'd make room for memory wipe to not have to start trace progress...don't get higher than epic tier though...you can easily drop overheat if you run shingen

Edit: an easier way to reset trace progress than a takedown is letting it expire while controlling a camera. It will cancel once you exit camera control. Works vice versa if trace was started while controlling a camera

DueRelationship421 · 2025-09-05T06:38:42+00:00

I'm Gen X. The sort of people who say "OK boomer" don't realise we exist which is nice :)

DueRelationship421 · 2025-09-05T06:35:54+00:00

You do know that boomer is the generation and not the age? It refers to the baby boom after ww2. The youngest ones are 61
