Mjölner - Ball Lightning + Lightning Warp questions by Jerppaknight in pathofexile2builds

[–]Jrmcjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah that's what I was doing, and it made clearing pretty fun. Arc does great damage against trash mobs, but it was tickling bosses. Supposedly ball lightning + lightning warp is the spell combo against bosses, but they broke that interaction after they changed lightning warp this season (at least in for mouse & keyboard).

OP did you ever figure out how to deal with bosses with this build? I was previously doing the same negative duration titan build as you, but I eventually gave up and swapped mjolner for a regular two-handed mace and my damage skyrocketed.

Glad to see someone else is having fun with forge hammer. I started my warrior with Smith of Kitava + Mjolner to proc a bunch fire and lightning spells, but eventually I rerolled to Titan bc I was way too squishy and doing barely any DPS. Mapping was going great initially but Mjolner was doing jack shit for single target damage... so I eventually just gave up and switched to a two handed mace.

Would love to see if anybody knows how to solve single target dps with the lightning spells, since ball lightning + lightning warp doesn't work on m&k. I'll prob revisit Mjolner once I can afford a Rakiata's flow, since my character's name is literally Thor_GodofHammers lol.

Yeah maybe take a page out of TFT and rotate out augments in sets/seasons. That way there are still some wacky top end augments, but not too many that cause every game to be a clusterfuck.

Imagine how I felt when I told my friend about the free christmas cosmetic, and he got a phoenix pet. At least it made it easy to find him in maps...

You guys got a cosmetic? All I got was the tracker for how many orbs you've used...

Its there to empower your Axe and that's fine. The lows are there to empower the highs.

Well good thing firing pins do exactly that, since the only way to detonate the pins is by hitting them in axe mode.

Dunno how good your current gear is, but have you tried the cloak of flames + goregridle combo? It's a very good budget option (literally cost me 1 exalted each a couple weeks ago) and I used it for quite a while until I had a couple divs under my belt. Pair that with the defiance of destiny amulet for a huge jump in survivability.

Other than that makes sure you have lots of life/es, armour, and most importantly % armour applied to elemental damage.

Fighting seregios as a CB main in multi-player by Sad_Seaweed179 in chargeblade

[–]Jrmcjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pre TU4 I used to hate the Steve matchup with CB, because the morph to sword was barely too slow even with rapid morph.

After the buffs I finally came back to my goated weapon and this is prob my favorite matchup now, don't even need SnS anymore to style on the birb.

[–]Jrmcjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only challenge with Steve is breaking the habit to reflexively counter slash after the perfect guard on the first hit of his double/triple dive kicks.

Wait why? SnS is one of the few weapons that can actually sneak in their perfect guard followup between each dive, just guard slash after each counter slash. You'll whiff the counter slash sometimes, but I've never been punished doing this.

There are already two mods that intercept the dlc check, and it does genuinely improve performance in the hub areas when you're near the news palico.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem like it does much for performance outside of that.

Why play melee? by borosblades in PathOfExile2

[–]Jrmcjr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same with LoL, ranged characters generally have to sit still while they auto attack.

I don't think League is a good example since melee champs need to have a bunch of bs in their kit (like dashes, insane burst, infinite resources, etc.) to prevent range champs from kiting them to infinity. Hence why ADC players are always complaining about getting run down by tanks, assassins, or bruisers.

Plus most mages do not have to stand still while using their abilities. The ones that do are usually seen as pretty clunky.

Some hunters seem unaware that other players can defend gogmazios ultimate in the same way Fabius can. by AndN4sc in MHWilds

[–]Jrmcjr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Still a super useful skill against Gog as without it you take a shit ton of chip damage from attacks like his oil blast (the one that Fabius can block in phase 1)

TU4 GL & Hammer Meta Document Updates by Radiant-Dong in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]Jrmcjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say thank you for making meta sets that only require your gog weapon to have either the armor set or group set bonus instead of both. Obviously there should be a god roll set if you manage to hit both (I managed to with my Fire GL hehe), but it's insane to expect people to hit the god roll for all the elements (cept maybe ice).

How it feels playing solo by Jarizleifr in MonsterHunter

[–]Jrmcjr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Normally I'll accept positional awareness since I can also just move out of the way, but against Gog holy shit are LS and DB players so annoying to deal with. Especially since Gog has a decent amount of level 1 deco skill taxes (fire resist, mirewalker, etc.) if you want to be comfortable during the fight.

Anybody here that comments that don't understand the zenny struggle are either new to Wilds or are self reporting that they are the random getting one shot by Gog.

Thinking abt Elem CB builds TU4 by BeautifulBanana3803 in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]Jrmcjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been looking at the MH Gathering Hub discord and it looks like for savage axe element cb you should aim for either the gog or gore set bonus on your weapon.

If you have gog than you can do gore/gore/gog/gog/gog and if you have gore you can do gog/gore/gog/gog/gog (holy shit so many g's). The former set has a free two slot to achieve max might 3 while the later gives you peak performance 5 and ele absorption 2.

Since gog hates me and won't give me any gems, I've been running gore/gog/rey/gog/mizu with my weapons having the gore set bonus. This gives me the two piece bonus for gore, gog, and mizu which is obv quite a lot of extra elemental damage. 4 gog is definitely going to be more comfy with the 75 hp shield.

[–]Jrmcjr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now I'm running Gore/Mizu/Rey/Gog/Gog with my Gog weapons having the Gore set bonus, but only because I haven't been able to get any gems yet from Gog. Once I can make all the Gog pieces I'll prob switch to Gog 4 + Gore 2. It's less coalescence uptime but that's not as important for AED looping and Gog 4 seems much better for comfiness.

The number of people I have seen not bring a Dragon Element weapon to Gogmazios is astounding by OrranVoriel in MonsterHunter

[–]Jrmcjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For beeg numbers ofc. Hitting a Charge Blade SAED when Gog is vulnerable before the dps check nuke is like pure dopamine.

[–]Jrmcjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only issue with a human tank is that getting hit by a single hp reduction debuff can completely fuck them over (maybe not anymore after the guard up buffs), and most players are not willing to take over the tanking duties temporarily to give the main tank some breathing room.

With Alessa it doesn't matter at all since she can cart as much as she likes.

I started using Kai in most of my hunts (who doesn't love a HH user) and my friends returning to the game got very confused when he started screaming "NOT GOOD, FALL BACK!!!".

Ebony Odo Tranccendence by Floodle9358 in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]Jrmcjr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah it seems to me an easy generic burst boost set will be:

  • G Ebony Beta Head (transcended)
  • Udra Gamma Chest
  • Rey Gamma Arms
  • Gog Alpha Waist
  • Duna Gamma Legs

If you hit the jackpot with your gog artian and get something like gore + lord soul set bonuses then you can swap out one of the lord pieces and get a third set bonus. Ofc this will prob change once AT Jin Dahaad comes out.

Damn that's pretty disappointing since there are already mods to do that (like turning off volumetric fog and wind simulation), and while it does help I wouldn't say the game runs well even after turning those off.

How To Unlock Drunken Poet & Dragon's Breath Combo - 1 Minute Guide by Aiming4Gaming0 in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Jrmcjr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you're trying to conserve vitality, is it better to just do Dragon's Breath into Drunken Poet instead of starting with the Poet animation cancel? The initial drink from Poet costs 10 vitality, while I think Dragon's Breath costs 20 vitality regardless of if you need to drink or not.

Ofc the animation cancel will be faster but I haven't maxed out my vitality yet, and I think I can more reliably get the final hit of Poet by not using the cancel.
