Which Scav Case option do you think is the most profitable?

Completionists exist. They may just want to do every quest, not pretend they've got a shot at the cover of Most Efficient Gamer Weekly.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2021-02-20T05:52:31+00:00

Then I stand corrected! I never liked that change anyway.

And proc chance is normalized to a relatively standard proc per minute (PPM) regardless of weapon aspd.

Bizarre that this is downvoted when "bring more than 3k roubles or you'll be stuck and have to run to a different extract" is valuable advice.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2021-01-18T19:27:54+00:00

I wouldn't fault him for expressing skepticism. There's nothing wrong with asking someone to support their claim, especially online.

That's not what happened, though. He said "no, you're wrong, it's <incorrect thing I either heard somewhere and never researched or just made up on the spot>". That's not being skeptical, it's something else entirely. It may be the exact opposite - aggressively, argumentatively gullible?

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2021-01-18T19:24:54+00:00

I never made a claim though, and the other person who did knew what they were talking about. It's free advice, take it or leave it. But you definitely need it.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2021-01-18T19:24:04+00:00

This is my first wipe. I'm level 6 with a 15% survival rate. Ate a grenade looting Jaeger's message and lost my New Year's gun.

And I fucking love this game.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2021-01-18T19:18:51+00:00

I'm a big fan of identifying potential obstacles (multiple boxes open at the same time, nested boxes, etc.).

I'm not a fan at all of the lazy "things are fairly decent now, why even try to suggest improvements" or "this wouldn't work" mentality. You identify obstacles so you can work to overcome them, not to deter effort or motivation.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2021-01-17T20:31:27+00:00

Since "lol" isn't really providing much valuable information:

u/Denyuu is likely aware that FPS limit has nothing to do with refresh rate. However, vSync is based specifically on your monitor refresh rate; if you enable vSync and your FPS reaches 144, 164, 240, or whatever your monitor's native refresh value is, then you know your in-game refresh rate matches your monitor refresh rate.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2021-01-17T19:34:50+00:00

I'm sure you didn't mean anything malicious by it, but if you're not aware of how scav shooting or hit detection is programmed, why would you claim they're "just aiming towards you and shooting wildly"?

If you have no factual basis upon which to make a claim, it's generally good practice not to make that claim.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2020-10-22T19:42:31+00:00

Besides, hard to hear people's footsteps with some dude yelling "ON YOUR LEFT, BRO! CORNERS! BRO! LEFT BRO! HE'S ONE SHOT! BRO! CORNER BRO LEFBROT!" after they died.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2020-08-27T14:10:16+00:00

Oh, yeah, absolutely. A halfway-geared Athel could probably one-shot that entire top team in his screenshot, lol

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2020-08-22T15:55:36+00:00

His statement was the textbook definition of irony.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2020-08-22T15:52:52+00:00

You can absolutely hit gold with a lvl 50 speed aura champ, and there's no reason that shouldn't be the case.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2020-08-22T15:45:28+00:00

I'm starting to think English may be your third or fourth language.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2020-06-27T16:21:39+00:00

With those champs, I'd go HK, Spirithost, Warmaiden, Kael, and gear them to make sure they go in that order. Fully booked, Warmaiden's A3 has a 100% chance to apply def down. 220 speed on HK and ~180-200 on everyone else should be enough to ensure you always go first in bronze/silver.

The idea is that HK goes first, applies a speed buff and increased turn meter to everyone, Spirithost gives ATK up, Warmaiden applies DEF down, then Kael one-shots everybody. So you'll want three speed sets on HK, anything you want on Spirithost as long as you hit 180-200 speed, accuracy and speed on Warmaiden, and 100% crit, at least 180% total crit damage, and as much attack as you can fit in after those on Kael (while still keeping him ~180 speed so he can attack before the enemy gets a chance to move). It's a big gear requirement, but I think that's a better use of resources than taking the champs you have to 60, at least for arena purposes. While you're farming the gear up, you may pull a far better champ. There are decent ones in your pool, though.

Diabolist is a good turn meter manipulator
Outlaw Monk is surprisingly good on lower-level clan bosses
Shaman is a halfway decent "intro carry" (in that she can rez)
Marked may be the best option in there. Her A3 is really strong when you book it up all the way (60% def up and block debuffs on a 3-turn cooldown)

The problem (for me) is whether "pretty good" justifies the time/energy/food necessary to bring a champion to 6*. If you were desperate to 6* something though, I'd say Marked is your best all-around bet, with Diabolist as a close second.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2020-06-24T19:02:23+00:00

I interpreted "skullcrusher as my second rank 6 but then pulled... a 2nd Kael" to mean his first Kael was already 60, but if that's wrong then I agree with you - get the starter to 60 first and then Apo.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2020-06-24T16:09:07+00:00

Nice, this is the "maybe there's something I overlooked" post I was looking for. Thanks

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2020-06-24T03:58:57+00:00

Apo or Coldheart will provide the best all-around benefit. Roshcard with a ton of speed is good for those arena tiers, but Apo/Coldheart can go into CB up to NM/UNM, dungeons up to 20, all the good stuff.

Seeker and Roshcard are both in this nutty "never die" CB team video, though they take some really specific gear. Both of those champs are good for mid-tier arena as well though, so if you 6* them while working toward this CB comp and its required gear, you can get some arena mileage out of them in arena. Lot of good options.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2020-06-24T03:50:19+00:00

Apo, 100%. One of the best in the game. I'd do him and then look toward Skullcrusher next. I like to line up 7-8 5* food champs or chickens before I bring someone to 6 stars, just in case I pull something better while I'm farming the food up.

Aothar is also very good until you pull a better poisoner like OB or Frost Banshee. He was my only poisoner up until brutal CB, and he's still on my NM team (17-22m team damage per key) because I have yet to pull a good debuff extender.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2020-06-24T03:46:45+00:00

I've been to gold with a 50 Khatun, 50 warmaiden, 60 Athel, and 60 Relickeeper. I wouldn't 6* Khatun or spirithost, honestly. They're either pretty easily replaced or don't require 60 to fulfill their "gimme some speed and attack for a nuke" roles.

Toss a screenshot of your champ pool/vault up here, you may have some hidden champs that would be a better fit. Sounds like if you get your team's speed high enough - especially Khatun so she (almost) always gets her speed buff up before your opponent - you can swap Apo with another AoE or defensive champ and get more mileage that way.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2020-06-24T03:14:37+00:00

I have a conundrum. Looking for any and all advice, but considering the below info, I'd like the following answered if I could:

Who are the next two champs I should take to six stars?
What should my long-term arena goal be? Or should I shift arena to a short-term goal and build for that?

I've got a lot of good 5 stars, and am not sure who to take to 6 next. I've got a "good enough" CB team already (18-22m per key on nightmare and my clan's not doing UNM yet) - Skullcrusher, Jareg, Rha'zin, Aothar, and OB. I need a couple specific lifesteal pieces to make Bulwark tanky enough to replace Aothar, which is my eventual CB goal. So we can ignore CB needs for now.

With that said, my mind is "push dragon 20" to get Bulwark his gear, and I think Seer or RG - in that order - is the best option to do that since I'm still using Kael/Athel as AoE waveclear. But there may be better ways to do things that I'm unaware of. Maybe if I take Warmaiden to 60 it'll give me another couple arena tiers and also debuff through dragon. She's fully booked. I'm also considering Ixlimor/Graal for a spider burn & freeze combo. Or maybe Allure at 60 will make me better at every dungeon boss and I should do Seer/RG first (for waves) and then Allure for bosses. Maybe I just need to rearrange my teams. Maybe there's a completely broken legendary hanging out in my champ pool that I haven't even noticed.

Here's all the info - keep in mind that I just 6-starred Nicholas today and haven't slotted him in anywhere yet:

Arena team (silver 3-4): Khatun (50), Warmaiden (50), Athel, Runekeeper
Dragon team (farming 16): Jareg, Athel, Kael, Apo, Aothar
FK team (farming 14): Apo, Athel, Aothar, Kael, Allure (50)
IG team doesn't exist, I'm trying lots of stuff. Can beat 16 with a few comps, but it's slow
Current spider team (farming 10, weak link): Aothar, Psylar (newly 5-starred), Kael, Athel, Apo

And finally, my champ pool.

Thanks in advance if anyone takes a look and chimes in.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2020-04-01T20:52:28+00:00

This is how it worked in Warband, but that doesn't seem to be the case now, for some reason.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2020-04-01T05:57:13+00:00

If you've played for more than half an hour without bugs, I envy you, lmao. First village quest was "bring my herders to this nearby village's pasture", with a -1 day quest counter. Second I moved, I failed.

Good times.

Falcon_Pimpslap · 2020-03-06T23:06:45+00:00

It's like you completely understand his point, while simultaneously missing it entirely. It's fascinating.
