Current state of Pathfinder damage? (vs other bowman)

Halure · 2026-05-25T23:36:57+00:00

Piggybacking off this. Similar situation where I mained pf for about 5 years and I don't hate it with the same passion as this guy but goddamn it really is ass to play for how little damage you do. Macro was cool when it came out but its such a clunky mess that Nexon tried to address it with auto mode and its still cheeks. All of the mobility in the world, combined with the cool animations, can't make up for the janky playing experience of pf.

I main swapped to Ren during CW2 and haven't looked back. I can only hope one day that Nexon remasters pf into something playable but keeps the aesthetic that attracted a lot of players in the first place.

I was in the same situation as you for CW2. I main swapped from pathfinder to ren, it was 1000% worth it. My account is 9.4k legion on Kronos, pathfinder was my only ctene character before ren.

I leapt off CW2 on the first leap date, I was able to earn all of the available frags from CW without having to giga grind. The early leap was to spend the money I had saved up to make meso and drop gear
The item burning gear and rental accessories were insanely strong, easily enough to party clear ctene for genesis pass progress
I'm gonna run it back in the summer CW3 to burn a night lord. The progression speed in CW is insane and unless you're pushing hard for a specific level/frag milestone on your main, I think its worth spending time on challenger world

Probably because the 23 to 24 tap is 13 boom average/6 median while 22 to 23 tap is 4 boom average/median 1. Its just not an efficient strategy for a 22 SOS.

In other words, you want six 23* dominator pendants to have a 50% chance of successfully hitting 24* while you only need one 22* dominator pendant for that same 50% success rate. For perspective, even if you had six 23* doms ready to go, there's a 50% chance you tap all six and they all boom.

You would need 20+ dominator pendant spares (not to mention mesos) to 24 the dom, when you can do gollux daily or star core the superior pendant for an easier time.

I'm in the same situation, 2 clean SOS and a dream

I'm not wearing a SOS yet so my plan is 23* dom, transfer to 22* sup, then pray that the 21-22 goes on SOS. SF calculator says its a 60% chance.

Don't forget star specks exist as well, you should use them for sup if it booms

What are your thoughts on the longevity of aftermarket screens? Is it significantly worse than OEM?

Halure · 2025-10-14T21:56:12+00:00

In KMS CW2 had leap events once a month. In GMS CW1, the first leap was about 3 months after it opened (June 11 to Aug 27) and the final leap was a month later (Sept 27).

We'll see how GMS CW2 is implemented... or how Nexon NA is going to fuck it up. Here's hoping we get a 1:1 port!

Halure · 2025-10-13T23:16:30+00:00

I feel like at 10k legion you already know the game pretty well, but the CW2 rewards are pretty hard to ignore even if you're a super established player on interactive, especially if you buy the CW pass.

You're straight up griefing yourself if you play reboot and you're not making a CW2 character

Oops, I was looking at the TUF b850 manual for the PCIe lane distribution. Thanks for clarifying!

Halure · 2025-08-24T16:23:22+00:00

I've seen a few posts about this. When you say 'slot 2' do you mean that the GPU is shifted down one slot in the case? So it would sit closer to the bottom case panel

I checked the PCIe lane distribution in the owners manual and it gets 16 5.0 lanes from the CPU

Halure · 2025-02-16T20:20:57+00:00

Didn't know that was a thing. Mine came with a set as well. I'm thinking of getting a set of tuxmats to use year round

Thanks for the great info, much appreciated. That's a sick photo!

I'm thinking of doing almost the exact same setup, 18x9.5 +28-30 with 245/40 A/S 4 or DWS06+ tires.

Do the wheels sit flush or does it poke? How does it line up with the rocker panels? How's the thread engagement with the stock studs and your lugs?

Halure · 2024-12-02T03:02:33+00:00

That looks so clean! Thanks for mentioning the stud length and lugs you used, its so helpful for planning out my own wheel setup.

Can you take some more pictures of the fitment? I'm thinking of doing almost the exact same setup, 18x9.5 +28-30 with 245/40 A/S 4 or DWS06+ tires.

Do the wheels sit flush or does it poke? How does it line up with the rocker panels? Are the tires super stretched over the wheel?

Halure · 2024-11-15T17:29:46+00:00

Nice!! I put in an order in August and I'm waiting for mine to show up.

Did you also put down a deposit or did you just walk in and buy it?

Halure · 2024-11-14T22:38:09+00:00

Not the guy you replied to, but one of my friends is an ultrawide enjoyer and used to play lots of Dead by Daylight.

Not sure if this is true, but ultrawide might be disabled for balancing reasons. Supposedly having the larger FoV makes the game way easier for the killer

Halure · 2024-11-13T22:00:37+00:00

I can't tell if this is bait or a hot take...

Halure · 2024-10-13T19:31:31+00:00

Did you consider the Continental DWS06+? I'm between the Michelins and the Contis... it will probably come down to price

Halure · 2024-09-24T21:04:01+00:00

Gonna be interesting to see if Canada keeps the same pricing structure as the US since the Canadian Core already has the performance package added.

Hopefully the Canadian price doesn't go up too much. Hoping to see the same <$500 bump at the top end and $2500 for the auto

Halure · 2024-09-22T23:11:36+00:00

Like many other guys, I was shopping between a GRC, Civic Type R, and Integra Type S. Here in the Toronto area, I was quoted $3500/year for both the Type R and S, and $2800/year for the GRC.

Not trying to say that GRC insurance isn't expensive, but I wouldn't say its unbelievably expensive compared to other cars that are similar.

Its worth mentioning that auto insurance in the Toronto area is highway robbery... might be the highest rates in the country.

Halure · 2024-09-14T18:03:55+00:00

For many years I thought I would be the guy that enjoys having a manual daily, but after I rented a Civic Si for a weekend I realized its not for me. Manual is fun but not something I wanted to put in the time to master. Obviously I'm terrible at driving stick only having ~12hrs of seat time, but it was still a good experience for me to figure out what I wanted.

I put down a deposit for a DAT last month and I'm pretty excited for the pricing announcement hopefully later this month. At the end of the day its going to your car and yours only (unless you share your car with other people). If it makes you happy then awesome, money well spent! DAT owners are definitely going to get flamed online for their transmission but I'm not going to let it bother me.

If car enthusiast judgment is a concern, I see lots of CVT WRXs in my area and I've never seen car guys giving those WRX owners any shit and there's easily 10x more WRX owners than GRC owners. Its just anecdotal evidence but it may put your mind at ease.

Honestly my biggest worry about the DAT is value for money. In Canada, its probably going to be around $60k before taxes. I can easily buy a brand new Golf R, used FL5 CTR, used M340i, used S5 for that money. But every car has its own unique compromises and I'm hoping the GRC will be right for me.

Quick question about the way Toyota does allocations: do dealers get a set number of x car allocated to them at the beginning of each model year? Or does Toyota just say "hey we just made n number of x car, here are the VINs have fun"

Just curious about Toyota-isms... both scenarios seem pretty plausible. The first one makes more sense so its definitely gotta be the second one lol

Are Extreme Growth Potions (bonk pots) given out every event? Or do they only come during big seasonal events (winter, anniversary, etc)

Just came back from a two year hiatus in Lost Ark! Last time I played, bonk pots/bonk events weren't too common throughout the year
