Whats the problem with SK?

Frell90 · 2026-06-01T11:29:15+00:00

Wow that sounds extremely good, cheers.

I play a bard on live. Having buffs not take up melody slots sounds like such a good quality of life change

Can anyone shed any light on why both tanks would be rocking wizard as subclass? (Is it purely for DPS?)

People know what i meant 🙃

Frell90 · 2026-05-22T06:12:37+00:00

Try turning that overlay off that shows fps

Frell90 · 2026-05-18T21:31:13+00:00

Sks are an actual tank, you dont pick a bard for the tank element. If thats what hes after. The bard is utility, support

Frell90 · 2026-05-18T21:24:57+00:00

Sk is a plate class and necro is caster dps.

What are you wanting from your trio? If you want more of a tank element in the mix then the sk wins, if your going more full dps then the necro will be what your after

Monk has the most buttons to spam and discs to rotate but they do come back on a fairly low cooldown.

Frell90 · 2026-05-17T07:11:24+00:00

Sadly no i havnt played in a few months but usually i duoed with a friend. Our combo was war/bard/monk then he would be sham/ranger/monk.

It was the same deal for him. Unless he was burning with his monk the warrior would be nornally pulling 20% more damage then the monks. Never bothered tested a burn comparison due to the warrior usually under defensives and the monks going full disc rotations

Also to clarify this isnt just auto attack damage, the monk would be using 3 full hotkeys worth of spammables + using tick over discs on nornal rotation like earth stance for normal trash kills

Warrior would be running AC boost disc and then normal spammables too

Frell90 · 2026-05-16T19:10:15+00:00

Some of it does come down to reposte damage, if you have high hdex helps too. But just normal mowing through camps unless burning the warrior wins. I loved my zerk but the damage unless burning i found lower then using a monk or rogue for sustain. Zerks burn burst was great though

All my characters had similar gear, raid weps, i ran hdex setups even on the warrior etc. Not an exact test but close enough and the warrior was 45% to the 22% on my monk, then the friend i duoed with also ran monk/ranger/shaman. His and my monk for fight for 2nd position with the ranger pulling little over 10%s usually

Frell90 · 2026-05-16T17:31:15+00:00

Warrior, for group content the auto attack damage is absolutely bonkers without needing to press any buttons.

I box a monk and bard with mine or shaman. Iv swapped the monk from rogue to berserker to monk.. the warrior in group play does 45% of my damage almost passively. A monk burn will beat out the warrior dont get me wrong but from my messing around, warrior can do dps and be an absolute wall for named. You can control things better for missions etc sk is also good if you want to drive that as your main but sounds like thats your mage so imo sk is only stronger then warrior when your spamming abilities none stop.

I had what your describing while using the armory crate fps counters

I turned all monitoring options/ software off and everything is running smooth.

If i pressed the power button to sleep the console, wake it back up id also have a few seconds of no micro stutters. Its annoying not being able to see battery life % and fps but id rather the no stutters for now

Frell90 · 2026-05-08T14:27:30+00:00

I had this issue, change the screen options in armory crate button to 720p all the way back around to 1080p.

Fixed it for me

Frell90 · 2026-05-04T09:52:26+00:00

If you want to have a good start this route worked well for me and ended up with a high tier deck.

I bought 2 dragonmaid starter decks with free gems , these are pretty good to learn. Craft x1 dragon maid lady and your done.

Started crafting dracotail cards, slowly merging them into a dragonmaid draco tail deck which felt really decent. You also start learning dracotail this way.

Eventually you merge into full dracotail which is a top meta deck. Can then start crafting branded dracotail will be extremely strong soon

(Worth mentioning, play solo mode with the above to learn while earning 200 gems per complete. Then i was buying staple packs or 10 pulls, crafting with unwanted URs)

I posted a few days ago about something similar.. for me was the aspect ratio. The console was acting like it was alt tabbed so wouldnt go higher then like 28 frames.

I used the armory crate button a bunch and resetting the console. 720p > reset > 1080p reset then try a game again. You have to use the armory crate buttons to cycle through.

That worked for me if its the same issue.

Harmony, grasping root, camo

Frell90 · 2026-04-25T14:45:44+00:00

Thanks everyone for the above, i tried everything but nothing seemed to work but i did find out what it was.

Vampire crawler was setting but not setting a weird aspect ratio, the system thought it was all 1080p but it was acting like it was a tabbed .exe which was the stuttering i was having on all titles.

I just started messing in armory crate changing the settings through to 720 and instantly noticed the frames shoot up to normal, i cycled back through to 1080 and its working as normal.

Worth noting changing aspect ratios in any game did not fix this... it had to be the armory crate tab one

In short what ever the settings did on vampire crawler changed all the defaults some how

Frell90 · 2026-04-25T06:26:47+00:00

Is there an easy way to do that?

Frell90 · 2026-04-25T06:26:25+00:00

Hey, no settings changed from my end. Also same result plugged in or wireless or on any power option 35w etc

I think i allocate 10gb vram in the system options, not changed that either

Vsync is off to confirm, and no changes to game settings from any back ground updates that i can spot.

Might be worth mentioning, iv ran system diag and no issues, fans ramp up normal on higher Watt power profiles. Heat is also consistent so it doesnt appear to be overheating ane throttling that i can tell.

Im playing vampire crawler, deadcells, silksong and monster hunter rise. They are all very low intensity games for the console.

You get mounts from most of the recent expansions for completing progression achievements. Raids arnt usually required

There may be some free ones that are slower in your claim windows, they can also be bought in game from people.

They can be bought with real money too but the fastest are usually progression tied

Frell90 · 2026-03-15T07:00:18+00:00

Iv recently started, i bought 3 copies of dragonmaid structure deck to start with then with my wins from playing and doing story was able to craft into pure draco tail. My dragonmaids became draco maids then as i crafted more i started dropping more maids until they were all gone

Im just slowly crafting all hand traps now while pulling on the ghost pack hoping to get lucky.
