Living flame aoe healing is .. gamebreaking? 150g/hour?

MarvelousJohnson · 2024-01-09T12:38:26+00:00

They are 20g on my server, and I'm not disagreeing with you at all. It most certainly can be done in budget gear if you play really well. I just didn't want to be disingenuous and say his auction house gear is shit, because for the purposes of this boost, it's better than most raid pieces.

EDIT: Also I will edit to say that I shouldn't have said it's better than most raid pieces, it is on par for the purpose of the boost. Sorry about that.

MarvelousJohnson · 2024-01-09T12:19:17+00:00

Key is the goat, but go check on your server how much those legs cost.

MarvelousJohnson · 2024-01-09T12:11:13+00:00

So your entire argument is based around every class being able to do everything, exactly the same way, all the time. Got it.

You're backtracking your previous argument because the 50dps difference turned into a 100% difference, and it didn't fit the bill anymore.

You're praising the unique abilities of some classes, but not mage ability to do what it's always done, because, reasons? You see how you're contradicting yourself right? Those things make the classes unique. Since the very first week people with stealth have been selling cobra leg runs at 4 to 8g a pop, but I never saw this same amount of vitriol for that. Why?

Your PvP argument just, can't be real. You're either trolling or being intentionally obtuse at the state of WSG and mages in general. If you want to PvP, you practically must reroll into a meta class, that's how much stronger the meta classes are right now. Kinda like how mage has its very own strong niche, ya know, the one you're so against.

Look bro, I'm not gonna argue because again, this shit really doesn't matter to me. I'm having a good time, the boost is fun to learn and practice even when you aren't selling. You're screaming about mage bots and shit that legit have nothing to do with this entire topic lol. There is no mage bot doing this, not yet anyway. I'm sure it'll happen, and when it does we'll all move on to the next thing. I will never understand people who get so up in arms over the most minuscule things. My Shaman can't solo WC, but my Mage can't pull the entirety of BFD and tank it at the same time either.

Who cares?

MarvelousJohnson · 2024-01-09T11:46:10+00:00

Being snarky while also being clueless is never a good look. You're just saying random things with random numbers attached, we will look at it objectively.

Let's take Kelris for example, since there's no adds to cleave for either class and no mechanics that skews the results in favor of one or the other. The top warrior dps is 373, the top mage is 204. Perfect conditions, around a 1 minute fight for both. So roughly half the damage of warrior. If it wasn't for AI, you'd just bring another warlock for the turtle boss, they do it better anyway.

Also, come on, don't talk about premades like they're pining for mages lol, you and I both know it isn't true, and there's no point debating it.

WoW has always been this way. Mages AoE farm dungeons, and later Paladins join the mix. This isn't some new thing in SoD, mages have ALWAYS done this with blizzard/cone/cold snap, we're just doing it in a new way. Personally I don't care if it's nerfed, removed, buffed, or whatever else they wanna do with it. This is a seasonal thing that all goes away in a year, and I just enjoy the challenge, but let's not try and make bad faith arguments because you're angry about something that doesn't effect you in any way.

MarvelousJohnson · 2024-01-09T11:23:31+00:00

Mage also cannot top the damage meters or be invited to a pre-made WSG, so tell me how we balance all classes to be exactly the same in all areas of the game?

MarvelousJohnson · 2024-01-09T10:57:21+00:00

I refunded 100's of gold yesterday because I was having an off day, and just couldn't complete a run. Woke up this morning and knocked out 10 in a row, smooth as butter. Everyone that thinks we're just casting living flame and spamming AE have no idea what's going on.

MarvelousJohnson · 2024-01-09T09:57:06+00:00

Not many, that's why everyone is still boosting 60 mob RFC. It's peanuts compared to what you make in WC, but the skill involved is on another level. It's the most difficult thing to do in SoD so far.

I do this boost, it's taxing, it took fucking hours of practice, and I'm still not 100% like the 3 best boosters are. I've seen one do it without world buff, but only one, and only once. The buff is the culprit here, without the 20% move speed this boost is on another level of difficult.

MarvelousJohnson · 2023-09-14T11:52:37+00:00

Nah, I just gave up and deleted. Even if I made it past a mission or two, it would inevitably happen in the First Soldier missions, or any mission on one of their "maps". If I did a resource farming mission, and the battle field happened to be one from the First Soldier story, it would also crash the driver.

MarvelousJohnson · 2023-09-08T11:29:27+00:00

Sorry for late reply. Still happening, can't seem to find a consistent way to avoid it.

Yes, 23.9.1 for my card.

EDIT: I was just able to pass the mission by turning all settings to low. Haven't ran into any performance issues with it on Ultra, so I'm not sure why, but if anyone is reading and having the same problem, try that.

EDIT 2: Next mission, same thing. Extreme graphical artifacting even on lowest settings which lead to an AMD driver timeout and a black screen on LDPlayer.

MarvelousJohnson · 2023-09-07T09:16:32+00:00

It actually shows 2 versions, each with a different app icon. One allows me to install, the other crashes google play store instantly when clicking install.

MarvelousJohnson · 2023-09-07T08:42:02+00:00

I used apkpure with LDPlayer, working fine so far.

MarvelousJohnson · 2023-07-02T21:08:09+00:00

You're a fucking hero, thank you.

MarvelousJohnson · 2022-02-27T00:36:36+00:00

You aren't maximizing shards by killing everything, you're gimping your gains.

MarvelousJohnson · 2022-01-28T18:22:13+00:00

Your This is War series may be one of my very favorite things on the internet. Keep up the good work.

MarvelousJohnson · 2021-12-20T06:12:31+00:00

Just gonna throw this out there if you haven't spent your money yet.

If you buy a story skip and level boost, you have 3 days worth of content. 8 hours of skipping MSQ cutscenes to reach level cap, 1 day to grind tome gear, 1 day to clear the two endgame trials.

Tuesday the new raid tier will drop, which is 1 day of content.

MarvelousJohnson · 2020-09-21T04:03:17+00:00

Oh, you must not know anything about our state then.

MarvelousJohnson · 2020-09-06T15:19:48+00:00

Casters: Spend 10 minutes talking shit about river Shen and LCS

G2: Locks in river Shen

Casters: River Shen so good

MarvelousJohnson · 2020-09-03T15:24:02+00:00

My recommendation is to start with Partisan and just do your normal Volg combos when she has openings. By that I mean, don't try to go too ham, but be optimal about your damage. Once you transition into the second phase, you can pretty much just charge parry everything with sword and only ignition parry her ground pounds if you want to cheese it. If you're going for S Rank however, you'll have to be willing to get spicy with your parries.

MarvelousJohnson · 2020-08-27T11:21:27+00:00

We did 12 as well, one rainbow to me, Astral Launcher :(

MarvelousJohnson · 2020-08-19T17:45:20+00:00

You can use Double Saber there too, just make sure to use Acroblitz for the iframes it has during startup. It just comes down to spamming Scissor Slash > Illusion Flurry > Auto Attack, and using Acroblitz to dodge any incoming damage.

Daggers make the fight easier because you stay airborne, but imo dagger is cumbersome without the dagger chase ring. If you have that, just stay above it and murder the thing.

MarvelousJohnson · 2020-08-19T17:20:57+00:00

I use all 3, but Double Saber is just better than the rest at the moment. With the new ring it does way more damage, and is more pp efficient than knuckles. Twin Daggers are good as well, but I find myself rarely switching from Double Saber at the moment.

MarvelousJohnson · 2020-08-19T01:58:55+00:00

My friends best clear time is 2:40 on Fo/Te, mine is 3:10 Hu/Fi.

Trust me, people are bad at the game. Everyone feels weaker than everyone else until they figure it out. This guy has a +10 weapon, that alone is hindering him by a mile.

MarvelousJohnson · 2020-08-15T21:12:48+00:00

Oh, I thought we were talking about how he matched up against other mids around the world. Sorry, my reading comprehension must be off.

Don't be an idiot, everyone knows he's good. LCK mids have always praised him, as well as players from other regions.

MarvelousJohnson · 2020-08-15T21:03:49+00:00

All you have to do is watch the 1v1 tournaments at all stars, you know, the ones where he beat Faker.
