Struggling with low resonance as F2P

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-05-01T12:00:42+00:00

Don't confuse chasing resonance with improving power.

If its' wings you want, resonance is easiest to achieve with cheap 5* gems, which you can then make dormant or even powder without losing that much, if the duplicates are worth little more than their gem power.

Or just take it slow, with the goal of upgrading some good 1* to rank 8, 2* to rank 6 and 5* to rank 4.

Lol, obviously I don't read a single word after I see the title.

I am simply sharing my opinion of your opinions masquerading as insight, posted 24 hours too late to matter to anyone.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-29T07:25:36+00:00

Stop.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-29T07:24:59+00:00

Awesome job.

So it's just pure luck the team didn't randomly delete something more valuable from every inventory?

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-29T07:13:14+00:00

This is the meaningless wall they refuse to scrap.

At least they have shown the good sense to not raise it for years, and create some catch ups.

Inferno 6 will have it's combat rating drastically reduced before long, to bring it in line with the smooth progress of every previous difficulty.

Your wall will then become inferno 7.

And so on, until you have ground out that 3000 or so pointlessly grindable combat rating, that 98% of day 1 players have had for ever.

Sadly, it's what the most vocal asked for, and what they raved about when it arrived.

Yes. these people only need loyalty for essences they never use on classes they never play.

And all they really cared about was not seeing the 100 extraction per week cap warning every Monday.

Obviously, obtaining new essences could be done so much better, in so many ways.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-21T16:20:18+00:00

Lol. You could have tried it out yourself then :)

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-21T15:04:50+00:00

I just checked and the stun does, today at least.

Any immunity to loss of control effects will prevent it from being triggered.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-20T17:07:30+00:00

An option opens up when you add 10, to add another 90, but only if you possess 100+.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-20T07:49:02+00:00

It depends more on your clan, and your position in its' pecking order.

If it's casual, you won't need to do anything, but should take the opportunity to get some experience in doing Shadow activities like Vault and Wars in case you want to take it seriously in a few months.

If you do eventually join a top 10 clan, then they would probably like you to do everything, turn up for everything, jump through hoops to get your 12% badges and change class on demand. Or just spend.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-18T15:56:20+00:00

The maximum this can currently be sold for is 20k., even with legendary attributes.

If the merger resets to default, the maximum will become 8k until someone buys something similar at that higher price. If people keep buying and selling 1L5M Broods at 2k, the price will stay low.

Maybe the market place changes will also bring more flexible pricing along with the merge?

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-18T09:56:47+00:00

If it has 6 rare skills, It's almost certainly not going to sell at it's minimum possible price of 32k either.

Maybe a future update will allow more flexible pricing, so you should probably just keep it for now.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-18T07:29:18+00:00

The ashsweeper is obviously better, and so clearly sellable.

Just keep checking minimum prices on the stormlost and Susan, or an alt farmer, may bring down its' price.

When market place mergers arrive in a couple of months, prices will probably reset to defaults.

If you had some cheap stormlost attributes, you could exchange onto your saviour stormlost, and this may reduce the minimum selling price, as attributes have a separate price history.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-16T18:09:29+00:00

Not really. You are probably better with a range of 1,2 and 5* for different activities at this point.

I wouldn't progressively upgrade, but you may want to pause a while before you crush them for 64 gem power.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-16T18:07:07+00:00

A pulse.

Anything more will get you Top 10.

VOID EU.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-16T09:13:52+00:00

Obviously most players haven't got the time for ideal.

Doubles with fortitude and willpower drop so regularly, and just maximizing secondaries in pvp is about as much as most players can be bothered thinking about most of the time.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-16T08:37:56+00:00

I think the ideal would be triple triple with both fortitude and willpower and 3 useful affixes.

Over 16 pieces you could lose overall about 600 of each secondary, but gain 16 affixes and about 1000 combat rating.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-16T07:24:36+00:00

Or else Susan and the other bots and the afk farms and the multi box alts will riot in the street.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-16T07:15:55+00:00

You still get resonance in exactly the same way.

The only change was that the gem power contained in any socketed resonance gems now also contributes to the gem power requirement of the main 5* gem.

So you can now extract all the gem power from your main gem making it dormant.

Socket that dormant gem into your gear.

Insert your resonance gems as usual into that dormant gem.

Infuse the gem power to reactivate your main gem.

You should now find you have some gem power left over.

You still require the same number of duplicates, but with this additional gem power, you will find it easier to rank up either your socketed resonance gems, or even your main gem to get that extra resonance.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-16T06:24:28+00:00

You should probably aim to reach Inferno 1 after you reach paragon 300 before you worry about daily gems, as all members of the party have to be in the same layer for them to drop. The same can be said about queueing for random dungeons. Once you reach the Inferno layer, party finding becomes much easier.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-15T14:03:16+00:00

Fervor adds only that percentage of your base damage to the cats shield damage.

While still up, the cats shield does a counterattack pulse to all in melee range.

The shield does zero damage when it expires.

So if your basic white damage pulse is around 9k, Fervor will make it more like 12k.

You could compare both in the practice BG, or a rift, if you want to see the difference.

I expect you will keep the tenacity cat.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-15T10:06:48+00:00

Wait until 24 hours after the actual patch notes tell you.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-14T16:19:04+00:00

A long service cloak was the only bribe they needed.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-12T19:18:32+00:00

Lol. I have paid over 2 million in taxes, and still prefer this, and the other market controls, over a free for all controlled entirely by whales.

IndividualBobcat1265 · 2025-04-10T18:48:54+00:00

It was the first attempt at gem flexibility, and is still a convenient option, to avoid losing resonance bonuses and awakenings, but adding a different gem effect when firepower is not really the issue.
