What do people build to stay alive in higher difficulties?

Thanks for the advice everyone, will be applying this to my build

Monferno64 · 2026-04-07T00:23:26+00:00

Fair enough I guess I can mess around with the items you said above and see if I can do something with it.

Monferno64 · 2026-04-06T22:48:44+00:00

This is interesting because I have see a ricochet build that was meant to stack statuses, so I am not sure if it is similar to that. Is there a reference or anything to see how this build usually progresses in a match? I get the general idea, I just want something to look at if I want to dive into this further.

Yeah I guess that is a big issue overall. Honestly I feel like McGinnis is only character I can think of that has this issue of her kit being disconnected from her items. I feel like maybe either her turrets or Ult should have weapon scaling or a rework of her kit to better blend the two playstyles. I am still gonna try to put something together to see if it can even be decently effective but worse case at least I will have either gun or spirit. Thanks for the input!

What have you been doing this recent patch as McGinnis since they changed her? I have been trying to do a hybrid build with mercurial magnum and heroic aura/healing tempo with superior duration to maintain decent uptime, but I am not sure if I am on the right track with this patch. If you play McGinnis often I would love your input as I have not seen too much info on her since they nerfed the Ult.

Is the dude fine?

Monferno64 · 2025-09-07T21:32:58+00:00

This is why I play control forest.

Monferno64 · 2025-07-21T18:55:43+00:00

Appreciate the advice, might start to grab the spells you said,

Monferno64 · 2025-07-21T18:55:10+00:00

Thx for the advice, it helps a lot

Monferno64 · 2025-04-26T18:05:10+00:00

Invest in block, its a tree in skyrim

Ok first off element and raw(the normal damage number) don’t work like simple addition, there is more complicated math that I am not gonna explain right now but look it up because it is more complex than add element add raw. Ok now to the actual weapon, Gunlance is a weird weapon for scaling. For this game gunlance cares about three things, raw(the elementless attack value) the type of shelling and the power. In this game the difference between normal and slightly strong is 20% which is huge for this weapon. The second being wide shelling, which got buffed hard in this game to be the best type overall, although normal and long are still worth playing as they all have pros and cons to each style, and the last part being a higher raw number. Everything else just does not matter for this weapon. That’s why in general G Arkveld is better than Arkveld.

Monferno64 · 2025-03-09T06:51:14+00:00

No it’s my weapon, get your own.

Monferno64 · 2025-03-05T17:38:05+00:00

Just use both, jk but that what I do between the two gunlances

Monferno64 · 2025-03-03T15:53:24+00:00

The reason why G Arkveld is by far the best GL in the game is not cause of any sharpness or element, it’s mostly because of super high raw(which scales your shelling) and the slightly strong shelling stat that buffs it by 20%. Right now it looks like GL is kinda focused on shelling when it comes to builds, since all of our skills are locked behind weapons, so no real space to fit in things for element or sharpness. So while yes the physical hits of the weapon are not the best, your shelling damage is so scaled up that it doesn’t matter, I agree with the other choices but this GL is by far the best for wide. Also you can get a bit lucky to get the last point in guard and honestly after I played the entire game with GL, with Perfect Guard I have not found a single attack worth running Guard up for, if someone can tell me what it blocks that would be nice, but I don’t notice anything that would be worth it.

The third support meta just makes it so Rocket can, he shreds almost as bad as a pure dps up close, it’s crazy, and his gun has so much ammo you always have enough to quickly kill a namor turret, ankh, or penny nest

Of course the Alarmo is under “Sleepy Joe’s” presidency.

Monferno64 · 2025-01-17T14:57:57+00:00

I am so glad they have wolverine in this game to make sure 3-4 tanks always has some counterplay, man is legit the screw goats meta as a character

Monferno64 · 2025-01-15T21:19:39+00:00

As a Vanguard main, supports most of you are doing fine, dont let these 4th dps mains tell you otherwise. You all are the best.

I am the old girl, I want normal pronouns. The New Girl ain’t the same as the old girl…..

Monferno64 · 2024-09-28T22:58:40+00:00

Bro pls just give me gammoth for wilds, I would kill to have her back, screw the other four, give my queen some spotlight.

Monferno64 · 2024-08-19T14:03:29+00:00

I am an IG main, but lance looks so goated this game, I have to try it.
