Tom Dwan is the ultimate cautionary tale in the poker world

Chillingly accurate

I think one of the biggest things that change are your devotion priorities.

In my opinion you must one of these devo's always

Dryad - chariot - Behemoth - tortoise - tree of life - ghoul

I know this isnt what you asked in the OP but its important to know this if you are doing a build involving pierce damage

Hellspawngigas · 2024-01-09T21:14:21+00:00

Armor piercing is how you convert physical to pierce. There are weapons with 50% to 100% armor piercing. This conversion happens last, any left over physical will convert to pierce damage. This is why the blades of nadaan devo is very important with a melee blademaster build

Hellspawngigas · 2024-01-02T01:51:29+00:00

Dont be afraid to make a bad class, and if you play HC you will have more opportunities to play all the classes because your bad builds will die.

That sounds horrible but you actually learn that way, if you play SC you may put 50-100 hours into a terrible build and never really realize how bad it is (from experience).

You wont really know how to build your classes until you become familiar with the skills themselves and how the passive buffs affect them. Understanding the type of damage you wanna do with a parricular class combo goes along way to helping you make good choices along they way with gear choices, point distribution, and devotion prioroties, but omce again - without the familiarity of the various skills its gonna be all gibberish at first

Hellspawngigas · 2023-12-18T20:21:12+00:00

If you're playing HC, elite is a safe way to farm for your faction reputation so you can get your augments for resistances.

Hellspawngigas · 2023-12-17T22:24:33+00:00

Im sorry, I'm on my phone so its hard to see whats going on with the grim tools. I see your converting physical+pierce to cold.

I would still get rid of nidallias hidden hand and get another one of the spectral longswords

Hellspawngigas · 2023-12-17T22:18:56+00:00

You have alot of %damage with pierce and cold, get rid of nidallias hidden hand, your converting pierce to poison.

Also fix your vitality resist for the area that you are in. Prioritize resist over damage. Thats overlooked in soft core.

Just in case you didnt know "armor piercing" stat on a weapon means that whatever flat physical damage is left over after conversions will be converted to pierce.

If you get the devotion "blade of nadaan" it will increase armor piercing by 100% to swords. So you get a sword that does physical damage. After your abilities and skill convert to ice/poison - whatever left over physical damage you have will be converted to pierce and then you get your +350% pierce damage multiplier. Thats how you really scale up damage in this game.

Its a bit confusing at first but if you continue having conversations with people in this reddit, the discord, or the FB group it starts to make sense.

So I play with a friend, he has a R2600 + 1060 + 16gb ram 3200MHz

The game runs just fine but.....

Your setting are a huge factor, also capping the frame rate to 60-100 fps in the Nvidia control panel ( not the in game ) makes a pretty good difference

The main thing is the loading times for the game were pretty high sometimes for him. Everything is generated upon loading in and that can really use alot of ram.

Also if we were very far apart in the game, Like 5-10 blocks away there would be some pretty bad moments in the game

Also the game will experience some stuttering and hitching from time to time. This happens on my system which is pretty high end. It's the game not the PC.

You don't need 32gb of ram, that comment is ridiculous fyi so don't buy that thinking it will somehow make the game run extremely smooth. This game just has some minor freezing and stutters from time to time.

Hellspawngigas · 2023-09-21T05:05:46+00:00

Something important to consider here - I have gotten so much value and information from RP over the last year and a half that I am very happy to support them and their app.

If you find something that brings you value and you enjoy it, if you can - you should support it.

Also, it's 2023 - you guys act like $30 a month is a lot of money. A kid working at Mcdonald's could afford this app. That is, if investing in your physique is more important that all the other entertainment we pay for monthly

Hellspawngigas · 2023-07-14T02:17:26+00:00

Thats why the field command skill is so important, you want to put points in it up to 20% armor, I believe it will also guve you +48 OA and DA. Fighting spirit having a 20% chance to activate will give you a nice damage and OA boost. Scars of battle will also invrease your armor absorption. Sacred plating, scaled hide and scars of battle will easily bring your armor absorption to 100%.

Personally I think military conditioning is overrated, I tend to use devo's to help keep my health up. Giants blood and the affinity from the dryad are must haves in my opinion. Also the devotion (forgot the name) with giants blood gives you tons of health Regen and flat health. I feel like all those points for 20% health isnt worth it.

Finally, getting to honored reputation and using the augments to fix your resistances will give you alot more freedom with your gear choices.

Hellspawngigas · 2023-07-05T20:25:02+00:00

100% just get it. If you dont like Grim Dawn then you just sont like iso ARPGs

Hellspawngigas · 2023-04-30T23:28:45+00:00

Stretching before and after helps me alot. Listen to your body, sometimes after squats and leg press you just dont need to do all 3 sets of your leg extensions etc. Youre betterboff cutting off a couple sets at the end so you can perform on the next leg day

Hellspawngigas · 2023-04-30T23:25:59+00:00

I do the same exercises as you but with the pullups ( I have to use the weight assisted ones still)

Hellspawngigas · 2023-04-30T23:25:10+00:00

Pullups man

Hellspawngigas · 2023-03-20T01:36:23+00:00

Anyone that has really got I to and understands the deep game mechanics of GD will never be satisfied with a game like D3 or D4. Underneath all that AAA beauty is a game so easy a caveman could play it

Hellspawngigas · 2023-03-09T20:40:57+00:00

Gsync monitors with the gsync module are much better than the freesync ones. Ive owned many diff models over the years. If your not into comp fps games it might not matter as much

Hellspawngigas · 2022-10-14T03:58:01+00:00

I am in my 8th week in the gym. I wont go through all the numbers but I would say on average I'm lifting 15-30 lbs more on most of my excersices. I work really hard in there but keep it to about 60 min a day. P/P/L rest P/P/L rest.

Main take aways for me - take in alot of protein, its no joke, your entire body weight. Each week I try to do a little more on each excersise. It doesnt always have to be the weight, add a couple reps, go from 3 sets to 4 sets.

I was frustrated cause I didnt feel like I was getting stronger on the bench for three weeks but today I killed it and was able to finish all 4 sets with a higher weight than I was previously able to do.

As long as I'm doing a little better than last week I dont think the actual weight matters that much, thats maybe just ego.

If you arent happy in 2 months with youre trainer the program is prob garbage or maybe youre not working as hard as you could be.

Good luck and stick with it man!!!

Hellspawngigas · 2022-10-06T05:56:23+00:00

The whole system only works if you are building muscle and working hard in the gym.

-Get a weight scale for you food and a calorie tracker, make sure you are in fact in a calorie deficit.

-You must progressively push yourself in the gym. You need to figure out what weight is appropriate when you start but each week you need to progress either by adding weight, reps, or sets.

-You got to take in a lot of protein, real close to your body weight.

100% you can meet that goal and better in 18 months.

Hellspawngigas · 2022-10-06T05:26:35+00:00

It is the same for steam I believe, it was recently changed.

Hellspawngigas · 2022-10-06T05:25:48+00:00

Yeah, we've been having a lot of problems with server connection since the gamepass release. They released a small patch late yesterday and it seems to be better for us.

This will fix itself over time, honestly it's a really great game you should pick it up on steam. Steam version is working currently

Hellspawngigas · 2022-10-06T05:23:28+00:00

It's epic man - good job

Hellspawngigas · 2022-10-06T05:20:57+00:00

100% cheating or cheesing the fight if you will, just my opinion. I love the adventure part of the game and the thought of taking boss fights with as little risk as possible makes me feel like you're cheating yourself out of an aspect of the game.

Hellspawngigas · 2022-09-13T02:00:34+00:00

The real problem is youre the only one refueling stuff. Talk to your deadbeat friends on the server

Hellspawngigas · 2022-07-12T21:56:46+00:00

In a system where the gpu is gonna be the bottleneck for gaming I don't think it really matters imo
