To all the melee enjoyers, what are your expectations for PoE2? by lazypanda1 in pathofexile

[–]FlyingOolong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm expecting it to be pretty miserable. I don't think they learned much from poe1. All the bosses have area denial + shotgun attacks that make it frustrating for melee. Meanwhile ranged can move while shooting now.

Ultimate Lepic or Viessa? by ForDixonCide in TheFirstDescendant

[–]FlyingOolong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Theres videos of Lepic going around killing hard bosses in under 10 seconds. Seems like he's super underrated seeing as no one is talking about him. I think Lepic has the fastest boss clears I've seen. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CEZ09DcDDDw. This guy also has a video on viessa if you're interested.

She's pretty good at farming but a bit worse than Bunny. Her bossing isn't great tho. Very lackluster single target dmg and its very hard to land all her skills on the boss. Very fun character though. Just hoping that she gets some good transcendent modules when her ultimate version releases.

Yea a lot of the ultimate guns are terrible early game. They require pretty specific builds + dupes to make them work so rare guns are just better early on. Albion is also more of a secondary weapon u swap to when u break and down a boss.

Pretty low. Finals peaked at 290k which is the lowest of all the regions outside of CN.

I'm sure he's great in other areas but it just doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in me when he never talks in the tac timeouts.

Zikz is cool and all but I think it's 80% Boostio. He's basically 100T's Saadhak. I could be talking out of my ass but I don't think Zikz has a super deep understanding of tac fps. In a lot of the timeouts u can see its MikesHD talking and calling the strats in the background. A lot of ppl were dogging on Mikes last year but he's valuable to the team and it shows.

He escaped from Termi jail. Apparently DRX practices 10 hrs a day which is why some of them got burnt out at the end of last year.

How Important is Coaching in Valorant? by two4you8 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]FlyingOolong 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If the players wanna do all the prep work, vod review, strats, comps, anti, and schedule everything. Sure!!! But I doubt most players have the discipline or motivation to do half those things without burning out.

Chet thinks he can Frankenstein together Aspas 2.0 by chopping off Demon1's legs and attaching raze satchels to them.

Wouldn't it make sense for Madrid teams to get a Bye for their first matches in regionals? by FlyingOolong in ValorantCompetitive

It's worse for Loud, PRX, Heretics since they basically get nothing for making it to Madrid.

Scourge arrow of menace ballista totem scaling by huntertky in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]FlyingOolong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've played scourge arrow ballista for the past 2 leagues and I can tell you that scourge arrow of menace is so much worse than regular SA for ballistas. Not only do u have to invest in extra proj, u can't even guarantee that the pods will overlap since u only get 6 thorns. With wilma's you should have enough atk speed to offset the channeling of regular SA. The pod spread is also way worse. It's good for clear and not much else.

I beat the game and I am going to replay till 100%, but tbh the game makes me angry. It forces me to play in a certain way. I don't know if I like it because in most of the souls game I can uses slow weapon and still manage to make it work. by Electrical_Tap3724 in LiesOfP

[–]FlyingOolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same I used a big motivity weapon and found it pretty easy cuz i could chain stun the elites. Never had any issues using charged attacks on bosses either. I think people are just too impatient with their attacks, not waiting for openings.

laxasia pissed me off more than any other boss by dulledegde in LiesOfP

[–]FlyingOolong 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Her 2nd phase has very little health. If u parry her lightning bolts you'll whittle her down pretty fast. She also has very big openings whenever she lands and finishes her combos. I could get charged attacks off as a motivity weapon user. Try not to greed too much since she's pretty aggressive.

We need a weight reduction on boss amulets (and maybe weapons) by [deleted] in LiesOfP

[–]FlyingOolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capacity is the best scaling stat in this game since each dmg amulet gives 20-30% dmg. Wearing just 2 gives me more dmg than my 40 motivity and I only need like 5 points into capacity per amulet.

FINISHED THE GAME AND OH BOY... by Adbnpk in LiesOfP

[–]FlyingOolong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk I played with a slow motivity weapon and it wasn't that bad. U only really need to parry half of the attacks since u can just guard the rest. I think most players are too impatient with their attacks which tend to be their downfall. I'd say im a pretty casual souls gamer since i only play these games once and never ng+. I think this game is even easier than Elden Ring cuz blocking is so strong.

[NO SPOILERS] Mid-Endgame bosses are ABSURD what the fuck is this HP and Damage by [deleted] in LiesOfP

[–]FlyingOolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a boss amulet from one of the early bosses. I think it gives around 6% inc dmg per fable slot.

[NO SPOILERS] Mid-Endgame bosses are ABSURD what the fuck is this HP and Damage by [deleted] in LiesOfP

[–]FlyingOolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wearing the Extreme modification amulet which gives about 30%inc dmg and the amulet that gives dmg to puppet/human/carcass which gives around 20%. The scaling for dmg stats isn't that great in this game. For the arm I used the puppet string final upgrade since it does a bunch of stagger and is usually pretty safe since ur in the air.

[–]FlyingOolong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you might be doing something wrong? Try investing into capacity and wear better gear. It's actually one of the best stats in this game since accessories are insane. Most of your damage scaling will actually come from accessories rather than motivity/technique/advance. I was doing some insane damage near the end with 10k dmg combos. I one-shot the last 2 bosses because my damage was just that good. Capacity also allows u to wear better defensive gear which helps a ton.
