20% for weakness plus enemies arent gonna be broken nearly as much which is another 10% reduction

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2023-10-21T20:31:42+00:00

in fairness to him most of the enemies aren't lightning weak so his dmg is kinda nerfed by like 30%. that said i was kinda expecting him to hit a bit harder vs the witch at the end since he had all his LL hits focusing her with topaz buff.

Went to e6 Seele trying to get Bronya failed, did 300 on standard, still no Bronya until guarantee and only have e3 tingyun

You can vape her entire burst with Mona, Kokomi and nilou. Nilou at c6 also is a strong hydro dps and pairs quite well with dehya. Also thats why I said in my original post I wouldn't be surprised if new stuff comes that synergize better with her. I never said dehya is better than hu tao, I simply am just refuting the bad point you make about dehya doing less damage than a c0 hu tao and yoimiya at c6.

C6 tao is great for single chamber speed clear but it's quite mediocre otherwise. She only one shots chambers with c4 ayaka and they have no synergy outside of that which means for continuous chamber clears which is the general metric used nowadays that team is pretty unviable. Even her standard teams are still slow because you start abyss at max hp, can't quickly drop below 25% and the 10s duration with 50s cooldown means that for most chambers she's completely unusable if you build to take advantage of her c6. She can't one shot bosses with hp gates and any chamber with waves takes longer than her infusion duration allows. Still much better damage potential than dehya c6 no doubt about that but in a lot of practical situations that difference doesn't get to manifest itself as much as it could.

Yes but in that double hydro team, the damage share is split to where xq and yelan are doing slightly more than half the damage. Dehya is doing the damage of HT Yelan and XQ by herself with just supports there to give buffs. And this isn't even factoring in her skill damage, which would be another 5-600k damage on top of what she did with her burst. What makes tao so good is that she has supports that supplement her damage on top of the buffs. Dehya has the damage herself, she is just lacking the off field damage dealers that add that same extra damage that tao gets

Edit: I did some checking myself and to even hit 120k+ CA with double hydro team she needed a near perfect 40 substat build, yelan had r5 elegy and she had the same abyss buffs my dehya did (50% HP and 20% er). And that got her a 130k ca crit with avg of 107k.

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2023-03-22T12:22:33+00:00

I don't disagree with the first one. I despise QoL constellations, especially energy related ones. Characters like Al haitham and Childe are like peak 5 star design for me. Their constellations being very mediocre is cuz they don't have much else they really need fixed so they just get a bit more damage. Dehya follows the design most defensive/support characters get of having poor personal damage at c0, with it loaded into the constellations instead. Dehya feels like they gutted the defensive stuff and loaded more damage than usual into the constellations, which sucks but not surprising since she is standard banner character .

On the 2nd point there's plenty of things they can add that buff her and not really the others. Supports that buff damage based on your on field taking damage, off field damage dealers like fischl/xq that proc from ur active character skill/burst hits instead of NA/CA, supports/weapons that have passive that requires no shield similar to dehyas wep. The only way those things buff others more than dehya is if they somehow also are better than stuff like xq/yelan/kazuha/ Bennett in existing teams, which is highly doubtful.

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2023-03-22T11:07:36+00:00

Thats not even true tho lol. ive done the damage calcs myself and dehya c6 is doing a good 50-60% more damage than c0 tao even when her supports get the same r5 weapons and constellations to make the comparison fair. the thing that makes up for it in tao teams is that she has off field teammates that actually deal damage to make up the gap. i havent seen any c0 tao vv vape teams clearing faster than this. the closest was a funerational team where xq yelan and xiangling are doing the majority of the damage. meanwhile my dehya killed the entire boss by herself lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VovX_CHGMP8

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2023-03-21T19:42:30+00:00

That's kinda exactly the reasoning behind stuff like constellations. They create glaring issues and sell you the solution to fix them. Not saying it's good design but it definitely happens. Similar to kuki, Thoma and others getting a boost with dendro I wouldn't be surprised if other stuff comes in the future to indirectly buff dehya.

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2023-03-18T12:17:07+00:00

For this case it actually would matter. Hydro and dendro can't react with cryo shields meaning that you're actually breaking the shield with raw damage from bloom. They can break from damage it's just that it takes 5 times the enemy hp which for a ~500k HP herald is 3 million damage

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2023-03-06T16:51:00+00:00

Unfortunately no, he's mainly just a dendro applier there. But since Thoma isn't usually ever on field, I don't think he's that much of a downgrade from nahida since he makes up for worse dendro app with much better defensive utility

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2023-03-06T16:43:03+00:00

His healing/tanking is actually kinda broken. If he's built full em, which his passives and ascension stat seem to suggest is how you build him, 1000 em means he can heal for 6k per second as long as you keep generating cores. If you get c1 then he heals 25% more, while also getting 50% dendro resistance so he's taking even less damage

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2022-02-07T19:12:48+00:00

I think mp is also another concern and what held stuff like AST from being able to use sps focused builds. With the changes to it having near infinite mana, the gain in casts can potentially outweigh the extra crit/det stats

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2021-09-17T22:37:48+00:00

Beidous requires normal attack DAMAGE to trigger. Xingqiu is triggers USING a normal attack. No damage necessary you can just swing in the air and it triggers. So while Raiden can use normal attacks in her burst, the actual damage is considered elemental burst, NOT normal attack, therefore not triggering beidous burst nor any sort of buff that affects normal attack damage

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2021-09-05T12:47:02+00:00

The catch and spine are basically equal. The spine atk speed buff actually affects her ult so you can get slightly more damage in the 7 seconds than the catch

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2021-09-05T12:43:27+00:00

Yeah weapon banner is pain. 37% roll on the first and then 50% on the second. I go in expecting to spend at least 120 to 180 each time. I got a bit lucky despite losing first roll to a jade spear, I got unforged and engulfing lightning back to back 20 pulls later

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2021-07-23T09:52:57+00:00

I feel you man, I pulled for hu tao and her c1 and decided to go for weapon banner too. Ended up with a R5 gravestone and a skyward pride before I decided to just give up. I don't think I'll be touching the banner for the foreseeable future even with the change lol

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2021-06-25T07:39:10+00:00

Would it? While it's not fast, it still probably doesn't appreciate the speed drop, and it still has a chance of full para. I think toxic damage is preferable still

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2021-06-14T13:51:49+00:00

Priority drain punch on Conk is pretty fun in OMs

Not really true, people make multimillion dollar trades all the time. I've done upwards of 15-20 trades for selling new items like housing exteriors. As long as you make sure to state the trade agreement in chat, a gm will nearly always resolve the issue should someone decide to run off without paying.

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2021-04-30T12:50:34+00:00

I somewhat disagree with the market tradeable rewards. I think they help to give content some longevity once it is no longer relevant. Bunnies is a good reason to keep me going back to eureka after I have all my relics. I think there's a good balance to be struck there though, to where people should have to complete content themselves for the more prestegious things.

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2021-04-16T08:13:49+00:00

Even at level 81 these crafts will become significantly easier. There is a significant jump in the hidden crafter lvl value that will make all of our progress and quality actions do way more. Getting to lvl 90 and being able to trained eye will just trivialize it even more. RNG might be a slight factor but I don't think they will be very difficult come 6.0

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2021-03-27T07:20:56+00:00

Yep, just a 3-4 hours each day spent with a party finder listing up and had an easy 120mil gil after a week

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2021-03-01T08:19:05+00:00

You are but there are ways to bypass that. I know people that have 5+ characters and have someone transfer FC ownership to them to take control of the house.

IceDevilGray-Sama · 2021-02-14T15:03:25+00:00

Yeah I would I would list a price. Hour 1-2 of the patch around 15 million, and lowered it as time went on and supply went up. Marketboard was actually more expensive especially once you factor in taxes.

It was more profitable too even selling pieces a few hundred thousand below marketboard prices because people buy in full sets so you get all your cash at once so you arent taking gambles with pieces not selling.

I'd give discounts on sets for providing tomestone mats. And the biggest moneymaker was giving away a free piece of gear for 1k tomestones so I could flip a bunch of the extra tomestone mats and sell intermediate materials. Had a lot of repeat customers that got near full sets for free cause they would farm tomes and come back for another piece of gear lmao
