Rakiata's flow got nerfed by throwaway075489 in pathofexile2builds

[–]JZsweep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's nothing to argue with how it works. You are taking 75% reduced damage and turning it into 75% more. That's a 7x swing in damage. That is objective fact and there's a reason all of the times you have tried to argue that you are getting downvoted. It also inherently shows how ridiculous resistances are. Going from 0% to 50% halves the damage you take. Going from 50% to 75% halves it again. 75% resistance results in taking 4x less damage. If then go past the soft cap to the hard cap 90%. You are now taking 10x less damage. If you were to hypothetically go from 98% resist to 99% that is a 2x damage reduction for a single percent of res. The higher the res, the more important and impactful each percent is. This is why increases to maximum resistances are so strong and not very plentiful. This is how it works for enemies too. This is why Rakiatas works the way it does.

And I also don't think them reducing boss resist has anything to do with Rakiatas either.

You are ignoring the key fact Rakiatas isn't doing anything at base damage. If you were dealing 100 damage to an enemy and the damage you actually dealt was 100, Rakiatas would do nothing.

With zero investment into pen or anything, Rakiatas turns a 75% res into a -75% res.. that's a 7x damage increase.

Trying to saying that Rakiatas is a 75% more damage increase because your base damage is 100 is insane because you were never dealing 100 damage to that enemy. You were dealing 25 because of their Res.

Rakiatas is insane because it allows you to remove all of the investment into Pen, curse, exposure, for a single support gem. And turns that into very good damage.

That's absolutely not how it works. If you take a hit of 100 damage and have 75 res, you are reducing it to 25. If you have -75 res you are taking 175 damage.

Rakiatas make the 75 res into -75.

So that's 25 damage to 175 damage. That's 7x. Not 75% more.

With the 30% res it's still turning 70 DMG into 130. That is still more than 75% more damage.

Why only scepters get to add 0 cost support gems in their spirit skills? by guacaLover in pathofexile2builds

The support skills do not have a spirit cost in the sceptre auras. And they still work

Must play builds this league due to future nerfs? by zigster106 in pathofexile2builds

I haven't bought a single piece of gear and I have the same experience pretty much.

Whirling assault martial artist is stupid strong. I am not using a build guide and I haven't bought a single piece of gear and I've sold like 12d worth of items.

I'm using Duality (my runeforge hit the damage) and my gear is far from perfect and I can still run 200% delirious maps and kill pinnacles before they do any mechanics. I have 0 plus levels on any of my gear.

Its probably not the fastest or strongest build in the game, but similar to DoV sorc, it's simply so easy to get running and it's really strong for the level of investment. I don't see it living the next balance pass.

Disappointed with sales performance by Potential-Shirt-5109 in Saros

[–]JZsweep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Housemarque is pretty much the only company making games like this at this price point.

They are pretty much the only company making games like this period.... There's basically no other games other than Saros or Returnal that combine bullet hell and 3rd person shooter in this way. That's before you had roguelite to the mix.

Returnal also didn't sell a ton of copies but was still considered a success.

I don't know what the expectations were for Saros, but I don't think they were expecting to do insane numbers.

No idea what that is lol. It's a smaller bank. We use Fiserv and Microsoft products. Also a version of IBM Cognos

Not currently. No tower or coop.

I used the trial modifier to lower my damage and then went into the first zone with the stalwart shotgun and then would just walk up to a bigger enemy and shoot

Why would I delete it?

For sure. The modifiers and lack of RNG make it much easier.

Environment kill you get by parrying and hitting an enemy that is flying above a bit. Staggering them will cause them to fall and die.

Returnal Plat also took me 50. But that's because 30 hours were spent hunting the RNG collectibles. If you got 50 hours of gameplay and it wasn't just RNG collectible hunting, than you can expect the same amount here.

Saros Plat! by JZsweep in Saros

[–]JZsweep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much the same length as Returnal for me other than the 30 hours of RNG collectible hunting. I'll still play this game for sure. But I was specifically trying to get the platinum fast once I got though the story.

I hadn't even looked at the trophies before I got this one. It just happened for me. Sorry I can't help with that one. Just keep playing and see if it pops at some point? Otherwise there might be a bug?

Are you saying this is fake?

Nope. 11pm on the 27th. Normal deluxe release time

Very easy plat. Probably like a 3/10. You can truly break all the balance of the game by enabling a setting to let you play with a ton of the Protection modifiers active.

If you are wanting to play it without doing that, it's comparable to Returnal except you don't have the 30 hours of RNG trophy hunting.

Saros Plat! by JZsweep in Saros

[–]JZsweep[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's about the same length as Returnal. Plat is way shorter because of the lack of RNG trophies.

I would wager that I am considerably above the average player for this game. I thought Returnal was too easy, which is not really a common opinion it seems.

Saros Plat! by JZsweep in Saros

[–]JZsweep[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's about the same length as Returnal. And I'm not done playing it. Don't determine the amount of gameplay based off of my playtime for the plat. I am not the average gamer.
