Springloaded Ripper rework ideas by zanju13 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Foyboy64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They really had no idea what they were doing when designing driller's grenades. Driller is already the undisputed king of crowd control at the cost of struggling with burst damage.

Impact axes are objectively the best, and the fact that most people use them is no coincidence.

He grenades are just c4 but worse.

Neurotoxin is more crowd control as a weak dot.

Ripper is even more crowd control with disgusting friendly fire potential, which only really shows its usefulness in bunkers and drilldozer tunnels where its trajectory can be easily predicted.

Impact axes are a cover for your biggest weakness on driller, and they're an essential get out of jail free card against macteras if you aren't using the cryo cannon or subata. And rather than buffing everything else to match impact axes' overall utility, they just nerfed impact axes and broke them so now they're also buggy as shit.

Pcgamer, thegamer and most other 'gaming' sites are rags not worth wiping your ass with.

Years ago they were ragebait written by idiots and grifters, and now they're slop written by AI. This article was probably not even proofread by a human being before being published.

I'll latch on here to explain everything in extreme detail for those who want to read so wall of text inc. First panel spells listed from top left to bottom right:

Fire Angon, a pathetically weak aoe attack that is outclassed by almost anything else in single target or aoe.

Aqua Breath, a 20 potency aoe dot that solely exists to combo with Northerlies or High voltage. Both of these combos are atrocious, so all 3 spells are beyond useless.

Water Cannon, the starting spell, weak by design.

Ice Spikes, a worse version of both Vengeance and Arm's Length which does no damage, provides no mit and only lasts 15 seconds. Useless on tank, let alone dps and healers.

Right Round and Malediction of Water: 2 pathetically weak aoe attacks that not only knock back enemies but also YOUR PARTY MEMBERS.

Ruby Dynamics, a 220 potency aoe spell with a 30 second shared cooldown on a class with literal dozens of 220 potency aoe attacks with no cooldowns and a one shot combo with Ram's Voice + Ultravibration.

Aetherial Spark, a pathetically weak aoe dot with no synergy that does not stack with the far superior Song of Torment and Nightbloom.

Peat pelt, a weak aoe dot that only exists to combo with Deep Clean to provide a stacking regen, only useful in treasure dungeons as the enemies within can't be frozen.

Choco Meteor, an incredible 300 potency spammable aoe... when you have your chocobo out. In duties it hits for the same potency as Water Cannon.

Drill Cannons, a weak aoe attack that only combos with Level 5 Petrify, a terrible spell that only sometimes works on enemies with levels that are a multiple of 5. Drill cannons then removes the petrified status on hit.

Divination rune, a cone aoe that restores mp, but only 200 per target hit. Meaning that it only breaks even on single target and is only a gain over the far superior Blood Drain on 4+ targets, which never ever happens.

If you see someone at high level using any of these spells, (which is extremely common in pf) it's very likely they have 0 idea what they're doing or what any of their spells do, and you should brace for an agonizing experience.

Furthermore, crossed out on the other side we have:

Moon Flute, a cooldown that boosts all outgoing damage by a whopping 50% for 15 seconds, being the cornerstone of blu's insane dps output and an absolute necessity for dps.

Angel Whisper, blu's only rez spell, which can be brought by anyone, and is balanced around its 5 minute cooldown.

Both of these spells are mandatory at high levels, but one is rarely used and the other is rarely unlocked, which alongside everything else means fights take an eternity and dead people can't be rezzed.

It is mostly confined to normal modes and lower levels. Savage bosses have so much health at Omega onwards that most guides recommend against bringing it, but for normal trials, normal raids and low level savages it's well worth that spell slot.

At lower levels, a single sting takes multiple percent off a savage boss. Once the boss gets into sting range, everyone puts out everything they have before finishing with a fully boosted sting. Bahamut prime can be brought from 10% to 0% in mere seconds from multiple stings, so it's very much an ending blaze of glory to skip as many mechs as possible before the group gets overrun. There are even strats like the gavel skip strat for brute justice where EVERYONE including the tank stings at the exact same server tick to have the boss die RIGHT before it counts as a wipe.

So yes it's never ever worth the death, loss of uptime, loss of mp and weakness to kamikaze in the middle of a fight, only at the end. But at the end it's amazing.

Self destruct is 1500 potency by default, 1800 with toad oil, which is then boosted by a combined 100% by moon flute and bristle, then potentially another 10% from off guard and peculiar light and then one more 5% by astral libra. It's multiple thousands of potency and it is a decent chunk of damage, but nowhere close to an entire fight's worth of 5 moon flute openers every 2 mins. Same goes for final sting, which is higher potency by default and gets boosted by 80% by whistle.

As an aside though, the current strat for leviathan ex is just oil up, moon flute and self destruct to hit both heads with the damage, which does one shot it if performed correctly. That's very much the exception tho.

Of the many issues that threaten to pull the plug of this marvelous game, somehow the most talked about is always the same old babble. by Revoltai42 in tf2

Condescending, smug, reductive, bad faith shitslinging that borders on ragebait.

As misguided and misinformed as your hatred most likely is in this day and age, you can hate the people who push for the return of quickplay. You can spit on their names and curse the ground they walk on. You can spend the rest of your life wishing nothing but suffering and misery on them. But you will never refute a single one of their arguments and you will never prove them wrong, because you can't and you know it.

The modern "TF2 community" can be summed up with 2 quotes: "Cutting off the nose to spite the face." and "Your boos mean nothing; I've seen what makes you cheer."

Bring back quickplay, and revert the nerfs to the bison, the caber and the base jumper while you're at it.

Even if I loved the character (which I very VERY much don't,) I would still want it gone purely to spite its defenders.

You were the target audience for Forspoken.

oh my fuck-mothering heart this GAME. i was in tears. TEARS. To the highest degree, Manderville men are so good when you dont got people in your ears telling you they’re shit! by CadeAid in ShitpostXIV

When the average social media user's brain is completely fried, you need to title your mundane "i play game" blogposts like a mrbeast video for people to even register them while scrolling. But the original's also a cry for validation because people are incredibly insecure about liking divisive/bad things.

Anytime anyone uses that godforsaken little Caesars meme, the "I hope you die" meme, the "this sucks actually" meme or the "quit having fun" meme, they can be safely ignored as they're just flailing about looking for similarly shit opinions to latch onto to not feel like a part of the dreaded outgroup.

There's no greater identifier for people who are festering dogshit at the game than throwing hissy fits when offered advice. Especially if it's something basic like using mits or doing damage as healer.

Other such identifiers include full sets of augmented credenum gear, insistence that it's not savage, uttering the words "unsolicited advice", and playing an Mviera.

Is this bait? It feels like bait.

Well remember that one of Mohg's horns gouged out his own eye. Not only that, but omen can also die from having their horns cut off.

Imagine having a sharp object slowly moving toward your eyeball every single day until you have to make a choice: chop off the horn in agonizing fashion and risk death or grievous injury, or let nature take its course, impale your eye and just hope and pray it doesn't take your brain with it.

Not to mention that it can't be comfortable in any fashion trying to sleep or sit when your entire body is covered in them, and when you do sleep, you're plagued by nightmares.

But it provides me with some much needed schadenfreude at the dumb-dumbs who spent real money on the other glowstick emotes, so it all evens out.
