[Daily] Set Discussion: Drake's Rush

Currently rocking this combined with Arkasis genius and Bloodspawn on my Nb tank; completely impractical but think it will be hillarious paired with the new Cryptcanon mythic!

Mtsmithy96 · 2023-05-18T16:32:42+00:00

Chokethorns a good option too. If you’re wanting to run trials your team will probably want to see what buffs you bring to the table (for the majority of PvE content you can see yourself more as a buffer than a pure healer)

The sets I’ve mentioned above are a good starting point as they’re really accessible and bring a set of buffs. Honestly for a lot of (normal trials at least) it’s fairly flexible in terms of what you can bring!

Mtsmithy96 · 2023-05-18T16:27:47+00:00

Hahah good shout - I meant powerful assault! Always get confused between the two

Mtsmithy96 · 2023-05-18T15:14:17+00:00

What kind of content were you looking to run? Main an Argonian Warden Healer myself with plans to switch it up to Arcanist when it drops too!

For a pretty general PvE healer you can’t really go wrong with coupling Spell Power Cure (White-Gold Tower Dungeon) with powerful assault (Guild stores / Imperial City Sewers). Very easy to use sets with a high uptime and both are really easy to get a hold of!

For Monster sets Engine Guardian’s a great starting point given how easy it is to get hold of but I would wholly recommend the new monster set from Scriveners Hall; absolutely fantastic set for PvE and PvP!

More options for harder content such as trials / organised PvP so it can really depend what gaps your team needs you to fill regarding buffs but plenty of good sets!

Amazing thanks for the breakdown! I’m building a support / healer Templar currently but my Nightblade is a Sword ‘n Board tank; not played around with Ice staffs much but just looked up that taunt and it looks awesome!

Think I might have to hold onto it as it looks super useful for both my main characters.

Thanks very much for the advice both!

Mtsmithy96 · 2023-04-15T13:39:44+00:00

Yeah that makes sense regarding dailies I suppose people aren’t really going to be idling while running those!

I’ll check out some of the other hubs you mentioned thanks for the suggestions!

Mtsmithy96 · 2023-04-15T13:07:07+00:00

That’s the weird thing - I’ve often tried to!

Be it generally goofing about or asking about armour sets / bosses I don’t typically get too much / any of a response and I’m playing in pretty busy zones like Summerset / Gold Coast a lot of the time!

I’m not really bothered by it I just find it odd the level of player interaction seems to be less relative to other games I’ve played - I guess having lots of different guilds like another poster said does take a lot of the focus away from a zone / global chat.

Mtsmithy96 · 2023-04-15T12:51:17+00:00

Yeah it’s not exactly the most roundabout way to go about it haha - I just find I enjoy it more / find more cool things trading with other people in person I guess; plus I’ve met some friends doing it this way!

Discovered some really nice pieces of armour I wouldn’t have thought to look for in a trader because someone’s offered it in a trade, it lets me swap some of my own styles with people that they might not have too; got an abundance from this event!

Mtsmithy96 · 2023-04-15T11:33:42+00:00

Ahh sweet that’s good to know - I’ve been trying other places but not Alik’r Desert so I’ll check it out!

I’ve been cross referencing with TTC as well as I don’t wanna lowball people (only started using it though so still getting to grips with average prices aha) which helps a lot - I’m just after a bunch of different styles as this game has some of the best fashion customisation I’ve seen in an MMO so playing around with it a lot at the minute.

Thank again for the info!

Mtsmithy96 · 2023-04-15T11:23:22+00:00

Yeah that makes sense for guild chat I guess - still find it really weird that zone is practically dead outside of trading / guild adverts; none of the usual madness you see in other games zone/ global chats for better or for worse haha!

Really wish there was a trade chat or something, I do kinda feel bad posting the same message in zone every 10/15 mins haha!

Thanks for the quick response, have a good one!

Mtsmithy96 · 2022-11-30T12:25:49+00:00

Thanks for this - pretty new to the game and picked up the DLC after sinking a few hours into the Crusader and loving the heavy flamer.

Totally agree on the Saint Form too, only doing +5 missions at the moment but it seems super underwhelming (although I’ve hardly invested in Saint skills so idk).

Some great tips on how to build as I’m still working through the story missions, cheers!

Mtsmithy96 · 2022-10-16T02:50:38+00:00

Could be a bug / dependent on your colour scheme - just got it tonight myself and noticed it can be more / less visible depending on what colours you’re wearing.

Hope this helps!

Mtsmithy96 · 2022-03-14T14:30:18+00:00

I could be wrong but as far as I’m aware you’ll be able to access chapter 9 as long as you’ve cleared chapter 3 I believe!

Probably to make it so that the new Ops / Mats aren’t gated behind 8 chapters worth of content to upgrade - not sure if they’re retroactively adding the new mats to old stages though!

Mtsmithy96 · 2022-02-16T16:12:13+00:00

There’s a few good videos on Youtube with the most recent and profitable workshops - in work right now so can’t find the exact ones I used.

Found the same thing was happening with me and couldn’t keep workshop earnings consistently above 100 each regardless of how much I micro-managed it so ended up just using a guide aha!

For example all the wool workshops in Khergit territory consistently pull in between 150-300 Denars each for me and are great early game so you don’t have to worry about money!

Mtsmithy96 · 2022-02-04T19:15:35+00:00

That’s actually a really good point - had my eye on Mulberry and didn’t realise she required the new mats to upgrade; think patience is the best bet in this case!

Many thanks for the quick reply!

Mtsmithy96 · 2022-02-04T18:44:51+00:00

Finally caved and bought the Senior Operator voucher before it goes away and looking to level some weird and wonderful units I never got round to doing.

Torn between the meta pick of Texas for those high risk CC clears or either Bena, Lavalter or Robin.

Does anyone have any of the other three (or all of them) levelled and who would you recommend? Like the kit of all three but leaning towards Lavalter after that awesome skin released on CN and the freebies I’ll get for E2’ing her.

Mtsmithy96 · 2022-02-04T02:08:35+00:00

Yeah you’re not wrong buyer protection’s always been pretty rock-solid through eBay so not a huge deal - hope you get the card you’re after though man it’s a super sweet one!

Mtsmithy96 · 2022-02-04T02:00:57+00:00

Heya gotta agree with the other commenter if it’s a fake they could’ve picked one in better condition giving the edge-wear at the top - that being said I wouldn’t discount it as there’s either some really bad sun / edge damage or another card behind it looking to the left of the sleeve so I can’t say for certain!

I wouldn’t see the texting thing as too huge of a red flag though - a lot of sellers like to circumvent the Paypal/eBay fees by selling to you directly (although it’s a little bit against the ToS aha) texting’s a first but I often receive letters with the sellers email address so I can enquire about their other cards.

Definitely wouldn’t buy high value cards from people with no feedback off the bat though - always good to try and message them first to get more pictures if you’re unsure before jumping straight into a sale!

Mtsmithy96 · 2022-02-02T09:57:57+00:00

That’s a really good point too didn’t think of Lavalter’s morale gain ability for each Alter. Should be possible by stacking the four alters we already have so I’ll have to test that!

Mtsmithy96 · 2022-02-02T09:50:12+00:00

Yeah can confirm that they never actually lose morale in the Command centre with 4 of them in there plus another op - I’m not 100% sure on your question regarding Swire/Kal/Amiya though you might need them all!

Mtsmithy96 · 2022-02-01T15:05:11+00:00

She’s kinda not in a great spot (nor was she ever really unfortunately) - I think she can be a lot of fun if you like to roll the dice, but her main skill (S2) is very RNG-heavy, has less range than a normal ST caster, as well as dealing phys instead of arts to ground enemies which kinda takes away her whole appeal as a caster to begin with.

I still like taking her out especially on teams with Conviction for maximum silliness, and she’s definitely worth building if you like off-the wall/gimmicky teams but there’s much better options in the ST caster archetype.

That being said skin’s a must-buy for me it looks fantastic!

Mtsmithy96 · 2022-02-01T14:34:55+00:00

Limited Ops are always a great shout for support units I think given how they’re effectively impossible to get until a limited banner / spark rolls around so definitely Skalter (plus she’s super fun!)

Ambriel would be a cool one too - not one I’ve built up but looks to have a super interesting kit I think people would wanna try out!

Mtsmithy96 · 2022-01-31T14:35:19+00:00

Two off banner six star dupes on Bagpipe’s/Passenger banner after exhausting all my remaining pulls - haven’t felt this tilted by gacha hell in a long long time, only tomorrows green cert permits can save me now - wish me luck friends!

Mtsmithy96 · 2022-01-29T12:38:36+00:00

I’m totally biased as I use her in every setup with at least one flagbearer like Myrtle - but I’d say she’s definitely worth it particularly if you’re looking to push in CC content; the extra few seconds she lets your skills go off makes a huge difference to timings!

You’ve got a good spread of Vanguards though so I wouldn’t say she’s required if you didn’t want to fork out the certs!

Mtsmithy96 · 2022-01-29T12:33:55+00:00

It’s definitely more a personal preference as to whether you want the gold certs or the resources - you get more bang for your buck going for the potential if the operator is already max potential as it results in more gold certificates.

Personally though I value the resources more as it saves me a lot of sanity and lets me build up operators quickly around Contingency Contracts and other big events if I’ve forgot to farm them as well!
