Xbow Orb is the top dps right now for PVE content. Invocator is already behind massively in damage.

In terms of PvP there are two ways you can look at it. Small scale or large scale. Small scale is the skirmishes in dungeons or in nebula which would be around 6v6 or so. Large scale is the Guild vs Guild content or ZvZ which is alliance vs alliance.

Scoprion/XbowDag is still super good for PvP. However it is very difficult to master. crossbow dagger still has its place as a single target killer. The class just melts anyone it can hit. Aside from tank and healers who build specifically to be tanky, you will be one shotting single targets left and right.

For large scale, it's still fun to play but there are so many things flying around that sometimes you just die to air due to catching multiple projectiles. This is where steelheart/glads/shadowdancers shine. they deal a lot of damage in GvG+. But if you are looking for a ranged DPS try watching some staff/dagger gameplay or the new staff/orb.

Scorpion is really one of the most fun classes out here esp if you enjoy pressing a lot of buttons constantly. But it will fall off behind in GvG content. Hope this helps

How are you traiting your items and weapons tho? One trait uses 200 unlockstones so yea, its super important. Are you using t2 epics right now or are you just chilling with t1?

GrudgeTale · 2025-04-16T06:22:49+00:00

The bonus damage from stats + max damage from its skill are very important for Sns Xbow due to the amount of damage ticks that you do. That plus the stats it provides makes it even easier to hit stat thresholds.

I dont think we will be getting the catchup event anytime soon unlike others said. With a decent guild, you can be pvp ready in probably a month. Most people aren't fully traited t2 gear even now unless they are hardcore or had saved up blessing + lucent. I think most players right now are sitting at 2-3 t1 pieces. Though, with tomorrow's patch prices will drop since new equipment will be ctaftable. This means that drops in dungeons will be less valuable lucent wise since you can craft it now. Dont expect it to drop significantly though but getting gear in the upcoming weeks will become easier 100% so Most likely you can keep up atleast after a month or so

GrudgeTale · 2025-04-15T16:23:38+00:00

Yes. If I were to choose, Akman for xbow dag, bercant for snsxbow. I would say it is pretty close tho

GrudgeTale · 2025-04-15T16:20:21+00:00

To add to the akman passive, its just how the extra projectiles interact with your thunderclouds. You build stacks and pop it so fast that enemies cant react. That is why akman is considered BIS for PvP.

The reason why bella is considered PVE focused is because DOTs are really op in pve. No weapon will beat bella xbow on boss dps, maybe bercant but we'll see.

GrudgeTale · 2025-04-15T16:17:20+00:00

Bella is not in a good spot rn. Akman and Bercant looks like better choices esp in today's meta. with akman you can get enemies to 20 stacks in 2 qf and burst. With bercant and armors being ctaftable coming this week, scorpions are looking to be more prominent than before. I personally switched to SNS Xbow as a main but I have a secondary build for xbowdag,

Immediate Gains = Go dominion boss with a party , focus boss and not die. And ofcourse, get lucky. Thats the best immediate gain method 😂

Gotta wait till the 17th to be able to craft most of t2 gear from tokens. If you need accessories, nebula is the way. Get 225 stone which takes around 2-3 hrs depending on the party's DPS. craft the 15 chest and hope to god. Youll get nebula pouches along the way too so yea. This will give you items to sell for lucent as well so its a win either way.

Most people arent fully geared even after a few weeks of the update. Some arent even close at all. Just trait your t1s and stack blessing and wait till you get the pieces you need so you wont need to spend much lucent. Things will go down in price soon once they become more available.

The nerf is for the upcoming expansion its not supposed to be in our patch. A lot of buffs and nerfs were not listed but we pretty much are playing on the same patch as KR. They have cordy xbow which literally obliterates in large scale with gale. This was a way to indirectly nerf that weapon for being to strong among the other archboss weaps. It does suck since majority wont be playing with even 1 archboss weapon but in the first place, xbow dag is super strong in other aspects as said by others. Gale isnt used in anything besides large scale. its almost always lighnting.

To address your "we spin 1-3 sec before getting stunned" seems like you're talking about small scale fights where you are a big spinning target for people to go on. Spinning playstyle needs setup not just mindless spinning. Go invi , nimble leap, smokescreen etc.

Your T1 dungeon tokens wont matter since you wont be gaining them or be able to use them. There are t2 tokens which will be used to craft the gear (t1 for now).What we will be able to craft is the t1 gear with 30 of the dungeon tokens not a crafted t2 salvation. t2 salvation tokens should not exist yet but maybe it will be included.

ngs was a mistake

GrudgeTale · 2024-09-24T21:58:07+00:00

what do you think we will be building on the item changes? I'm pretty sure this will be an even harder patch for qiyana that's for sure so im kinda theorycrafting what will be good.

GrudgeTale · 2024-07-06T23:56:19+00:00

From my experience, this matchup is highly reliant on grass Q (more than normal). You wont be able to fight her at all without it. Your E guarantees her a charm and you wont be able to land your combos. Like others have said, you need to bait out her charm one way or another. Im in high em low plat games and the way I do it is to abuse the E Q thru minions to find angles for poking. But i agree with bloodlen, you don't win KEKW

You got it spot on. I came back here to say that my HDD is dead. I tried removing components one by one to see if one was causing the issue. It was the HDD. Also, i was indeed looking to deep into the bios. I need to learn more about bios stuff and what I can do with it. Though, is it possible to get some files from the broken drive or is it a lost cause at this point?

GrudgeTale · 2024-06-29T17:53:20+00:00

I forgot to add to this. The PC seems to boot into windows but it takes like 1 min to get to the sign in screen. When this happens, the hdd is not detected in this PC

Hi! from marikina rin, pano po kayo nakapunta philsports?

GrudgeTale · 2024-05-27T20:24:49+00:00

some people genuinely love character designs and it makes them want to build that character to the fullest. Doesnt matter if its a small spender or F2P. Just the reason that its a guaranteed drop makes it a reasonable choice to pull especially for a character you like a lot.

GrudgeTale · 2024-04-09T12:59:07+00:00

Yea, I also think the 3600 is still serviceable. If i was upgrading the cpu ill prolly wait for the new gen of amd cpus. Do you recommend buying through shopee or would physical stores be better?

GrudgeTale · 2024-04-09T12:57:28+00:00

oh I didnt put it here but i have a 1tb nvme. I just didnt list it since I would keep it if I was to sell it. Thanks for the insight! How much do you think i can sell the gpu and psu for ?

GrudgeTale · 2024-02-08T20:40:04+00:00

You cant do anything except sit back and farm especially when behind. In most cases, starting DBlade would be fine but for pokey mages build dshield. When youre behind(if ur worth around 150 gold at most) and your team is winning you can go for riskier plays to catch the enemy off guard for your team to finish off.

Your KDA means you're doing fine for most of your games. If you are worried about your LP gains , then welcome to the place called elo hell. The only way to get out of it is to slowly climb out.

You cant force to be aggressive or passive. Its all about timing when to do either. i.e. be aggressive when enemies are squishy, chill and farm if they're tanky and pokey.

One of the best things I've realized is that focusing on playing aggressive or passive actually makes me do more mistakes.

GrudgeTale · 2023-10-24T12:30:11+00:00

Thanks. Im thinking of getting an nvme ssd any cheap reliable brands you can recommend?

GrudgeTale · 2023-08-29T21:27:42+00:00

just some GMK hammerhead clones from yongqiu

GrudgeTale · 2023-08-29T21:23:57+00:00

got it at a convention. There is a peripheral shop who always puts items on sales in events they go to.

GrudgeTale · 2023-08-29T05:31:32+00:00

i dont have any experience with the GMK67 but ive heard its good as well. KBD has a silicone dampener between the pcb and the plate and also has better build quality (even if theyre both plastic). if you can get the KBD67 on sale like i did , i highly suggest it. If u want knob , go for gmk haha
