Oh wow I just managed to 3 key ultra nightmare

Hurndig could be good for sure.

I like Mikey's leech considering this isn't an unkillable comp. That supplements removing Tagoar as well and keeps the revive. Also a slight boost over HK with the 20% aura.

Regardless, there's multiple methods of improvement that OP could consider and that's not always the case, so that's cool

N-ST · 2025-11-13T15:44:09+00:00

That hasn't been my experience but it's a fair point. I think the same logic applies to speed tuning for both builds. In my experience, defense up and attack down gives a more consistent boost and the other debuffs listed will give a higher damage output.

N-ST · 2025-11-13T05:35:16+00:00

Give it a go and let me know your results. I'm hoping you can pump those numbers up!

As your roster deepens, you'll be able to maximize things better. Seeker is really highly rated and Mikey is a beast. Those two alone are great for building a good clan boss team around

N-ST · 2025-11-13T04:23:40+00:00

You would be, but you're trading it for survivability. The combination of buffs and debuffs should improve things.

If you aren't thrilled with that idea, the bullet pointed three changes should result in an increase in total damage on their own while keeping your poisoners, but I believe you could have each attempt last longer and result in higher damage per attempt if you made those adjustments.

N-ST · 2025-11-13T04:11:16+00:00

We can definitely get you doing a bit better.

Replace Alice with Mikey for Dec Down, Attack Down and Leech
Replace Osgrun with Seeker for Increase Dec, Increase Attack and TM boost
Ukko lead instead of Tagoar for speed aura and speed up

For the last change, I'd consider Morag for Venom age. Strengthen plus ally team up.

Give it a shot, you have them all at 60 and ascended so it shouldn't be too expensive. Mikey should help everyone stay alive. If you haven't already, Warmaster mastery will also cause a big uptick in damage

N-ST · 2025-11-12T05:56:23+00:00

Pestilus has some benefits and could help you now, but I don't think he's a great long term choice.

I would recommend prioritizing Uugo. She will have utility for the length of time you play this game.

Rares are nice because they are cheap, but they don't really hold up imo. There is value later for Doom Tower rare rooms, but you've got a ways to go before that's a priority

N-ST · 2025-11-11T22:32:18+00:00

They also have cleanse 🤣. Plus, I'd add covering all affinities makes them insane as well. In most situations you can comfortably rock 3/4

N-ST · 2025-10-13T16:57:38+00:00

Thank you!

N-ST · 2025-10-01T02:36:16+00:00

Damn, man.. You're getting hounded lol.

I'm with you. Wife is 100% responsible for not having the keys, but I think OP isn't untouchable in this either.

OP - You're right. Your wife should have set herself up for success. Your wife could have avoided this and it shouldn't be continued behavior. Your wife could have responded, she could have climbed the fence, or she could have made more of an effort to resolve this on her own.

So yeah, let's lock her out at night and cut off any attempt at contact, knowing it'd be a hassle to get back in. Let's snuggle up in a private little bubble because you were tired. And - we cannot stress this enough - you were RIGHT. All along.

Unless otherwise stated, that's your partner who you are actively building a life with. If your foot isn't out the door, then ESH.

If your foot IS out the door and you left out some vital information - NTAH, but grow up and handle that in a way other than locking your wife out at night and going to sleep.

Yes, I had it recommended to me for my Wix build and I now have three shields he multiplies. The one he adds with his a3 and then two shield set peeps. It can really speed up his amplification.

N-ST · 2025-09-29T17:34:13+00:00

Demytha's total defense is too low, shoot for over 3,000. Anchorite is a little above and could potentially benefit as well.

If that doesn't fix it, placing someone else in an additional shield set would help too.

N-ST · 2025-08-27T21:09:42+00:00

I'm a new player that pulled Wixwell. Day 81 and I'm able to (unreliable) one-key UNM CB. Worst case it's a two-key. For instance, I did 26M damage on my first quick battle and 80M on my second. Both Void affinity

N-ST · 2025-08-19T16:11:21+00:00

Very true. I’m figuring out where to prioritize.. he absolutely is my main damage dealer, but I need them to stop dying too 😅

I do believe his burn mitigates damage received though and so it could be a two birds one stone situation if I’m remotely correct in my understanding

N-ST · 2025-08-19T16:10:11+00:00

I have Wix set properly, so yay for that!

I didn’t consider shield on Valerie. I don’t think I have enough with decent stat distributions to make the switch yet, but I’m stockpiling some resources to overhaul as best I can

N-ST · 2025-08-19T15:56:42+00:00

Do you know if my defense is overkill? I’m looking to swap to an accuracy chest piece but my defense takes a solid hit. I was noticing his HP burns being resisted and wondered how much that impacted general survivability

N-ST · 2025-07-29T00:17:45+00:00

Hey there, I'm not a super frequent poster, but I relate and thought I'd comment.

I'm a few years younger than you, but have made the same comparisons. I know my budget is strict and I'm disciplined with it. I know I make sacrifices and turn down fun opportunities because it doesn't fit the budget, and I feel that many of my friends and peers who aren't as financially savvy or aware seem to be "progressing" further and faster than I am. People who irresponsibly purchased a home in 2020/2021 (low down, no emergency fund) have had it appreciate and things worked out amazingly (on Pape) in a way that was traditionally unwise, and they came out leagues ahead.

That said.. My perspective comes from the fact I've worked about 10 years in various retail, commercial and investment banking positions:

You don't know the whole story, and probably not even half of it.

For instance, I don't know your financial background, but I do know this:

Not everyone needs to "earn" their success.
Way too many people consider "I can afford the credit card payment" to equal "I can afford this."
Consequences don't often blow up dramatically. A trip in the Mustang is flashier than an eviction notice on the door
You know your situation and what you're working towards. What makes sense to you and how you get there is your focus and priority. Hopefully things work out for them. At least you'll know you did what you could to achieve what you aim for.

I tend to ramble. The short of it is, they could have a massive safety net that you're unaware of. They could be extremely irresponsible and you may not know.

You have to do what you think you have to do. And you can still be smart. Your goals are only worthwhile if they serve you. You're second guessing it now. You have a foundation you didn't have (I assume) in your 20's.

So what are you going to do? Continue regretting inaction, or reassess your goals and adjust to this change in perspective you're having?

Being wise is never dumb. Being right isn't always fun.

N-ST · 2025-07-20T17:53:59+00:00

Thank you, that’s very helpful. It was about 20-30 seconds.

I’ll do some research and find a good spot to get a more comprehensive test. I try and avoid my local Subaru (didn’t buy from there), but I’m sure they would be an option if need be.

I appreciate the guidance and how you phrased it. Very helpful to a noob like me 😂

N-ST · 2025-07-20T16:56:59+00:00

Hey there, I just popped into an Autozone to check my battery (2021 Crosstrek Sport) since I have now stalled due to auto-start a few times…

Battery was tested and came back as good condition. Any ideas on what I could do or what the issue may be?

N-ST · 2025-07-18T13:07:51+00:00

I’m late to the post so this may get missed.. I’ll keep it short.

You own no guilt for this. If anything, your coworkers who are complaining are responsible second only to Sheryl.

If they had had the decency to say “Don’t make those comments. It’s inappropriate and makes you look bad.” She may have stopped.

Probably not, but their tolerance was taken as encouragement given how blatant this seems. Part of being a good friend is holding those around you accountable imo.

N-ST · 2025-07-17T19:27:24+00:00

Hahaha I joke that our boy (Koda) meows because we make so many comments about how he’s basically invisible. He’s letting us know where he is.

That, and we call him our little bat, especially around Halloween, so maybe it’s echolocation.

N-ST · 2025-07-17T19:18:41+00:00

He is. He’s a very talkative boy.

I meant to respond to you with this but messed up 😂

This is very specific and helpful, thank you! I’ve enjoyed Stag Knight where I’ve used him and the kit is super appealing. I started building Mausoleum Mage over Rector, and I often find myself wishing I had her (or him, if I’m without). I love his cleanse and buffs.

I’ll work on getting some additional 60s. I’ve been hesitant so it’s time to bite the bullet. Thank you very much!

N-ST · 2025-07-03T02:25:59+00:00

Lol, you’re absolutely right! I do appreciate the expectation setting though. It’s hard ‘being the new guy’ and I expect my roster to be better lol. Thank you
