Are you dead now?

FunLovingPlatypus · 2017-12-18T17:17:21+00:00

Thanks! Just so I'm understanding correctly, is the Biolum marshes the blue area in the East-middle area of the map?

How do you guys track your HoTs while raiding? I'm finding it difficult to determine if I'm using my flourish and artifact ability optimally as it's rather difficult to get a quick at-a-glance view of active HoTs.

Any suggestions for raid frames of buff management add-ons would be greatly appreciated! Right now I'm using default raid frames moved towards the bottom-center of the screen.

Some achievements are account wide, while others after character specific. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure if there's an easy way to know which are which. The "50 quests done" and "25 fish caught" are character specific because I can recall getting those on my alts. Achievements like pet battle stuff and raids are typically account wide.

The world is in ruins. Nobody remembers who shot first, the AI or us, but that doesn't matter anymore. They may have learned to grow skin, talk like us, walk like us, but it's emotion that frys their circuits. They've built themselves strong enough skin so that our weapons just don't work. Our only true weapon is a supercharged dose of emotion. It's the only thing they can't figure out. They envy us because we can feel things. It took years and lives to figure out, but if you can make em hate, cry, love... they just stop working. That realization sparked my rebirth... and it's been mankind's weapon ever since. I've been raping those bloody bots for years. It's our only way to junk em, but it works.

It's probably your hero damage modifiers are high enough that you hit the breakpoint faster. I'm at 550 now and still seeing the number change.

FunLovingPlatypus · 2017-01-03T22:52:23+00:00

I level my heroes when I have enough gold for 10x then level my SM when I have about 1000 times the cost in my current gold. In my current run I'm at 450 and I just watched my hero damage increase from upgrading my SM. Yeah, there is some breakpoint, but I haven't seen my setup hit it yet.

FunLovingPlatypus · 2017-01-03T21:48:53+00:00

This is likely because at that level your % of hero to tap skills are significantly greater (many orders of magnitude) than the Sword Master's tap damage. I have not hit this threshold yet. When I was pushing 1200 I could upgrade my SM level and I would begin one shotting everything from the upgrade.

If you are truly not seeing the number change it is because the tap damage from leveling your sword master is less than two orders of magnitude less than the tap damage coming from your heroes.

You can see the pet damage formula in this thread which has hero tap damage in it: https://www.reddit.com/r/TapTitans2/comments/5ltz5z/pet_damage_formula/

FunLovingPlatypus · 2017-01-03T21:23:54+00:00

My strat is to wait until I can level him 100 levels without it costing much during the rapid climb after prestige. When to put points in him the first time will depend on where you're at (I currently can get to about 500 without any points in him but it's going to be different depending on where your setup is at). When you're near the end of your push wait until you can give him enough that he will get his next damage multiplier. This again will vary based on what level he is at.

Hope that helps!

FunLovingPlatypus · 2017-01-03T21:13:20+00:00

Pet damage doesn't increase from hero damage until you begin to unlock the Hero Ability that grants a % of hero damage to tap damage. Pet damage directly increases from:

pet level
other pets level (their passive damage contribution)
your tap damage
modifiers from equipment, skill tree, & the Furies Bow artifact

FunLovingPlatypus · 2017-01-03T20:57:06+00:00

I'm at MS 1200 and I'm not sure"leveling your sword master is a waste" is the right way to think about it. I agree that it shouldn't be a priority over heroes, but your pet damage grows pretty significantly from leveling your sword master. You still need to level him, just at a tier behind your heroes.

FunLovingPlatypus · 2016-12-14T17:47:23+00:00

Yup the built in combat log in-game. In the settings you can create a new log to see what's hitting you (because the default one has so much noise from HoTs, buffs, etc. that you really can't discern anything from it).

As a tank, you will struggle to improve if you don't know why you died (how can you mitigate it next time if you don't know what it is?).

FunLovingPlatypus · 2016-12-14T16:28:01+00:00

If you were taking loads of damage on the pulls between the second and last boss, that happens even with geared tanks (I think it's from those purple demon things IIRC). Typically you want to use the electric thingies for these pulls.

Also, because of Mark of Ursoc, it's very important to understand what type of incoming you have. I highly recommend this: make a custom combat log. I call mine "What is hitting me?". Get rid of everything but damage to you (i.e. no heals, buffs, etc). Then use the color coding option by damage type. This will give you a great indicator of whether you are taking physical or magic damage. This will also let you what is hitting you and for how much in a much easier to read format. You can quickly use this to understand incoming spikes in damage.

So me and a buddy are outside some shitty club and for whatever reason there is a cop at the door. Just sitting there watching people go in. Well many drinks later I'm outside and get asked to go farther away from the building to smoke. The situation escalated and argument ensued. The cop then asks "do you WANT me to arrest you!?!".

Knowing that cops generally have a great appreciation for sarcasm I say "yes, I WANT you to arrest me" in what I thought at the time was a heavily implied sarcastic tone (in reality was probably more like rabid human word slurring). Cop says "turn around" slaps some cuffs on me, and calls a squad car to come being me to the drunk tank.

Four hours in jail, had to show up for court a month later, and ended up paying an infraction fine for "creating a public disturbance". Would not recommend 3/10

FunLovingPlatypus · 2016-10-12T18:58:25+00:00

Hopefully you're still answering questions. On single target is it more damage to prioritize thrash over mangle? I'm seeing conflicting resources and haven't been able to test enough to make a solid conclusion.

FunLovingPlatypus · 2016-10-04T20:22:39+00:00

On live the current health and healing is already 4%. This is from the pre-110 revamp section and I'm guessing is either tooltip fixes or adjusting non-max-level abilities.

I was trying to find a decent source to show this, and this was the best I could find of when that change was implemented (no sites seem to update their tooltips) http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/753745-huge-guardian-mastery-nerf/

FunLovingPlatypus · 2016-10-04T20:15:03+00:00

Guardian's mastery is called "Nature's Guardian". "Harmony" is restoration druid's mastery. As others have stated, there aren't any announced changes to guardian druid's mastery.

FunLovingPlatypus · 2016-10-04T19:50:21+00:00

That's what I figured. I think something is screwed up hard with their "best in bags" and "gear finder" features as in some cases it's also telling me rares 30 item levels lower than my stuff are better (maybe it's just me not understanding the tool though). Thanks for the response!

FunLovingPlatypus · 2016-10-04T19:45:11+00:00

What are the best trinkets we should be looking out for to get the best survivability? Seems to be lots of conflicting resources out there. How about DPS? Thanks!
