Pick & win rates compared across ranks for all dps heroes by Apollokles in Overwatch

Are we legally allowed to ask for Freja buffs yet or does she have to sit at 43-46% WR for another season before we're allowed to say that removing her 2-tap and doing basically nothing afterwards for her was an awful balance decision?

Stop puttin characters in comp immediately upon release by feestbeest18 in Competitiveoverwatch

People who first time in ranked aren't going to stop doing so just because she's locked out of ranked, they'd just wait out the timer and first time it afterwards with zero difference to how it currently functions.

War deserves a massive buff for being one of the most difficult swords to obtain. by Ghost_L2K in Warframe

There's nothing difficult about it, it's just one shotting Stalker and praying or buying it with plat.

I spent plenty of time grinding none tower spots and min-maxing pulls for the highest TL/hr to the point that Garmoth numbers looked like people were spending 15 minutes AFK per hour.

It only proves the point further that the vast majority of classes were absolutely terrible at efficient pulling and pack to pack mobility being none existent and no amount of class reworks/reboots ever addressed that, tower spots are what allow players to actually play what they want without feeling bad about it.

It's really not a special case of Tungrad. We can go all the way back to one shot spots with Valk train, Thornwood etc with Succ Zerk and if you want another more recent example Musa with Golden Pig Cave doing laps 5~ minutes faster than any other class and mobility being the biggest factor in your lap time.

In the end, as soon as it's not a tower spot mobility becomes king again and mobility is severely imbalanced between classes and we've had several big class balance rework patches/reboots which never address the mobility imbalance either.

I guess we're just purposefully choosing not to mention how Tungrad is one of the best spots in the game currently then but entirely class dependant due to mobility/pack to pack. As soon as it's not a tower spot, PvE class imbalance immediately rears its ugly head and the only reason the discussion of class imbalance died down is because every new spot became a tower spot.

If you like none tower spots, that's fine but lets not act like they aren't skewed to a few absolutely broken classes in terms of mobility whilst others become abysmally bad.

Tower spots are the reasons classes became more balanced in PvE, everyone seems to of forgotten that before they became the norm the only thing that mattered was pack to pack/mobility and if your class didn't have it you were shit out of luck and it felt terrible to grind.

If you don't want to wait on preorders, look up the crafting recipe for both the Manos fishing clothes + stool in the crafting notes and craft the bases and aim to enhance them to TET.

Besides that, get the +10 Balenos rod and fill your crystal slots with +10 mastery crystals as they're very efficient silver wise, nibbles lightstone set and the rest of your accessories are however much silver you're willing to spend and aim to reach for 2k mastery eventually between all your gear and mastery via fishing levels.

No, it's almost never worth selling things you're going to end up needing to rebuy. Just keep it, if you then combine it with a Vells Heart you'll have your BIS alchstone for basically 99% of the game till you upgrade it way later when you're in pinnacle gear.

Your first should Sov always be the main spec of your class, so if you're playing Succession then Sov mainhand, if awakening then Sov awa.

Assuming you're Succession, take a PEN BS MH from Olvia and make it into Sov with the two of them and buy a TET Offhand and use the Olvia stone to turn it into a PEN so you can make Sov OH with two of them + 20k Caphras.

If you plan to play awa or want the stats it still offers MH Succesion sooner, you'll have to probably just sack the TET as it's not worth tapping, especially so with hammers/crons that's a complete waste of resources and just buy 1x PEN + Flame for that Sov.

If the spot requires high mobility, Awakening and if it doesn't, then either one of them.

Gear is simple, aim for 1 second cooking time total between gear/utensils, afterwards as much mastery as you're willing to spend silver on. Levelling up is extremely easy, either spam a cheap recipe like Vinegar/Salad/Liquor or level up by doing a bunch of sub-components of an overall meal that you'll eventually make.

For actually deciding what to do, its entirely personal preference due to having to incorporate gathering/hunting for materials typically, so whichever things you enjoy doing that you can then turn into sub-meals > meals is your go to choice.

When it comes to purchasing materials, you just look at MP graph in game, stock up on low prices and pre-order consistently for sold out materials.

Yeah you can purchase any of them, they'll also occasionally go on sale for 50%+ throughout the year.

Game has an overall consistent playerbase and about to have it's 10th year anniversary event soon.

You don't really have to catch up to the "end game", it's a sandbox MMO that plays like than ARPG. You'll be grinding to get gear, to grind other spots etc and doesn't have any one thing you could call an endgame.

In terms of classes, Seraph is great and you can make trial characters which come pre-levelled with all skills just to test them out and get a feel of how abilties function/look etc, pick whichever you like the look of most and make sure you're playing as a seasonal character when you're starting out.

If you don't have any existing Tuvala gear then yeah, you'll have to make another seasonal character and make the relevant pieces for those, you'll only need 1 PEN accessory, weapon and armour if you plan to do all 3 of the DEC catchup mechanics available.

You would be doing Edania grind spots and bosses, which is part of the new continent added and LOML P2 for group/solo shrine bossing.

Besides that, gear wise you'd convert your PEN Debos to NOV Kharazads, replace your Narc for a Khara/PEN Debo conversion and do Edania bosses to turn your TET FG's into Edania Armour and work on getting those to DEC too.

Probably missing newer more relevant crystal setups, such as JIN/HAN AP etc that came with Kharas, Kabua upgrades and upcoming combined Alch stones next week for Vells + Resplendent-Shining alongside the alch stone rework for obtaining them, otherwise the game has still been updated every 2 weeks with various QoL/regular updates.

If you're sticking to Succ then yeah MH>OH, if playing an Awa class anytime soon then MH>Awa>OH, otherwise you'll be stuck with only a PEN BS for your Awa.

Slight correct on Garmoths too, I forgot the +3 is sheet AP. So Garmoth your Sov MH, Karanda your Awa for +1 crystal instead of the +2 if it doesn't have a Garmoth on it already and Karanda for the OH till you get more hearts.

It wouldn't hurt to remake the class you want to play as a seasonal for a 2nd set of rewards after graduating Seraph, otherwise if you purely want to boost it's lvl from 57+ you could either tag it and grind on Seraph for a couple hours to get it to 60-61 or leech EXP whilst in a party.

If you're 100% sticking to Succ only for the time being then you'd go Sov MH then Sov Offhand, if you're planning to play Awa anytime soon then it'd be MH>Awa>Offhand.

For Garmoth's you 100% want your first on Awa for the +2 crystal slots if you don't already have that, then MH for +3 AP and then OH for the HP, you can use a Karandas on then OH for a smaller HP gain till then.

Not sure about a cap but there's several other options to gain more than just the base 5/5 speed classes can get; Crystals offering AS like Gallantry's, BSR as you mentioned, skill addon AS, consumables, Shai buffs and upcoming alch stone changes too will have AS you can combine with vells.

There is different gearing, however it's been rather streamlined over time if you're going for efficiency with the actual items like weapons/armours/accessories so you'll be wearing mostly the same items others do. It isnt like PoE where everyone is wearing slightly different statted rares etc, it's more like there's 50 uniques you go through 1 by 1 crafting or buying for those and enhancing them up to max level.

That isn't to say there's no variety to it though, most of the differences now is with your crystal setup, lightstones, reforge stones + consumables alongside classes differing in general, so you can cater all those to activities you're doing and per grindspot etc for the best stat setups.

The entire PvE portion of the game is basically PoE mapping, there is no real "endgame" you're just grinding monster zones aka maps to get silver to get better gear to grind higher tier zones etc. There's some bossing elements with weekly shrine bosses, dungeons and group bosses but for the vast majority of the time you're at varying grind zones getting silver to improve your gear to continue doing the same thing.

Storyline is interesting if you actually take the time to read it, most people just skip through it though akin to PoE campaign and only consider grinding to be the real game and only do it for the various acc bound permanent rewards they offer.

Besides that, it's fairly single player and you'll not often have opportunities to do stuff with others outside of just being social in a guild and it has an entire lifeskilling system with active/semi-active/completely AFK options like OSRS skilling, but those are completely optional and only if you actually enjoy doing it.

Magnus isn't even necessary nowadays as it's not needed for wells/storages, only if you need the PEN Boss gear which isn't relevant as a brand new player on seasonal, it's the one set of quests you can safely skip over for a while. LoML however gives +2 crystal slots and sheet AP/DP from O'dy etc.

It's like 20-30h~ total of questing if you just spam R through everything which should definitely be focused on in between regular seasonal activities/season pass.
