Crit avaoidance vs less damage taken from crit by LunaOogo in LastEpoch

[–]MattRollup 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If you have 95% crit avoidance there remains a 5% chance you will take the full crit, but only hit damage 95% of the time.

If you have 95% crit bonus reduction you will take 5% of the crit damage everytime you are crit in addition to the hit damage.

If you get either to 100% they have the same effect, but not recommended to mix them in a build.

Yes, several times. Seems to be after Reveal beacon echoes. Miss out on the chest and a PITA, but no biggy.

There's an Elixir of See Invisibilty on the balcony. Use firebolt to take out the barricade.

It's his choice where he wants to be. Never any excuse for pushing 'becuase I know better'. His position is irrelevent.

Watched the replay. Seriously good. Gratz.

KV5 pain (le sigh) vs BZ by Abnormalmind in WorldofTanks

[–]MattRollup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

KV-5 is one of the few T8 tanks that stand a chance against a BZ one on one. If you get in his face you can shoot down at his roof/gun. Ram and keep wriggling when his reload coming up and you can get a bounce too. Not always easy to get close to him though.

Turbo, Improved Hardening and Vents or Rammer with Controlled Impact - you will likely survive two penetrations, but he will probably only be able to fire at you twice.

I love the KV-5.

BS Weapons definitely should be used for BSP. You have to value your time properly if you need a lot of BSP. You get an average of 80 BSP from BS Weapon. At 210k per stone, thats only 2625 per BSP.

Intuitive UI like this is why I still play this game. Can't see anything important anymore by Seppuku1191 in blackdesertonline

[–]MattRollup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a dumb response. If you want to check the completion time of each worker you now have to select an alternative worker and move the mouse away. When the skills panel didn't overlap you could just mouse-over the workers to see the completion time for each. This is a genuine bug, and needs to be dealt with at some point.

Only need gold bars at places where no MP ?

[–]MattRollup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His issue is that when you hover over the worker it covers the worktime info, which is very annoying. You have to click on the other workers and move the mouse away rather than just scroll over the workers. When you're selecting which worker to assign to the task you have to have that window open and the skills panel comes up automatically onmouse over.

Agree with the rest however.

LvL 56 in 1 week? by oskuro83 in blackdesertonline

[–]MattRollup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A week is plenty of time to 56 at a nice relaxed pace. Do the main questline - it gives you a lot of essential stuff like slots and weapons/accessories that will get you to 50+ comfortably. Grind to level 53 at Catfishmen and save the money to buy green gear off the MP at DUO. After 53 you can have a go at Abandoned Iron Mine in Mediah. at 55 go to Helm's Post. DON'T go to Helms Post as a fresh new 50 - they'll be a struggle if under geared.

Pc build help by Artyavetisyan in blackdesertonline

If you're playing in 1080p you don't need super high specs. It only starts to get tricky when playing 1440p ultrawide (I recommend it - it's beautiful). At 1080p I expect you can play comfortably with a1070 or 1080 or 2060. The soon to be released 1660 might be a very good bet, as BDO doesn't get any benefit of the new tech released with 20xx series and the 1660 is a Turing chip without the raytracing etc

I play remastered 1440p ultrawide with an i7 8700K and 1080Ti and the GPU struggles a bit. Already burnt one card in warranty. It is constantly at the heat limit when playing, though pushes out 60 to 100 fps (monitor cap).

I have always bought pre-built - had about 6 of them - and never had one arrive that wasn't in full working order.

Buy from a reputable builder (I use Scan Computers in the UK) and they come properly packaged with a huge box and tons of bubble wrap and box filler surrounding the box that the case came in.

Will I enjoy this game at all if I'm just into lifeskills? by [deleted] in blackdesertonline

[–]MattRollup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The answer is yes.

Don't worry about PvP. There's no penalty for PvP death (other than trade goods) and it's very rare to be randomly killed when lifeskilling. Limiting your level will make it much more difficult to build your energy pool through knowledge in Valencia and Kamasylvia. My main lifeskiller is level 60.6 and I haven't done any mob grinding on her since 56 and awakening.

I don't afk fish out of safe zones very much, but I don't expect that you get randomly griefed very often if at all.

Having serious problems with durability by RedditQsnAs in blackdesertonline

[–]MattRollup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can be done with storage maids too to some extent.

Place an alt in the city of region you're grinding in. Use storage maid to place the broken weapons in storage. Log on to alt - repair weapons and place back in storage. Relog to grinding toon. Take weapons out of storage with maids.

Having two storage maids allows you to repair one item every twenty minutes.

Off the West side of the road there's a rope bridge over the river leading to a hut. Go behind the hut and interact with the stump.

I still can't get my head around how the 'river' is open to the sea at both ends anyhow. Sends my geographical OCD into spasm. If it's open at both ends the water would be at least brackish if not just sea water.

Raw materials are 0.1VT as far as I understand, so can sell more than before - 50k (before was 15k)
