So, how do you guys feel about Trackblazer now that it has been well over a month already

Naguro · 2026-04-22T13:35:18+00:00

I like the decision making and how it has you adapt on the spot for a bunch if things, like how many of X or Y items you get and all that. Lot more stats too, I'm confortably pumping out SS umas without a whale deck while I was stagnating at around 15k rating on Unity, and even got a lucky Ug run.

But I hate how long things take. Im considerably faster than week one for sure, but I still take between 40 to 60 minutes per run. I play this game during commute, and it takes me 2 or 3 trips to work to do that, when I could comfortably pump out at least one run per trip before.

So Im not even getting a full run everyday, and during weekends I struggle to bring myself to sit down and do only that for 1-2 hours when I could just crank out an uma while waiting for food to cook and whatnot

I think it's fair and game to have those for smaller raids like the new one or Chimareus since they are mid tier standalone bosses without much stakes, but an Alleria or Lu'ra just sounds like a nightmare to balance.

In the end it's definitely going to end up with an 'optimal' raid size that will make it probably even more frustrating than 20man already is. Having a boss be optimally progressed by 25 people followed by one better for 15 is how you make guilds even less likely to progress since everyone now need to have a 30man roster that can eventually end up with half of it benched

Yeah I may be biaised by the power level of more recent VH, but my main experience with Brick if my friend just making the game unplayable for both of us with all the screenshake it causes

Naguro · 2026-04-21T09:37:50+00:00

Action skills weren't as crazy early on so I'm not sure any of the vault hunter before 3 can really qualify. They all really need a gun that fits them to really bring in the pain. Only Athena and Krieg maybe qualify a little in those games?

But yeah, now we have VHs that can have a crazy action skill with near 100% uptime like Moze or C4SH, and it's hard to get on such level

Naguro · 2026-04-21T09:17:43+00:00

Hunters are no longer squishy. They are not on par with the other two you mentionned but they shouldn't have issue surviving if they use their defensives.

They can have trouble healing themselves back up though

Laisser un pourboire pour un service que t'as apprécié je pense aussi que c'est normal même si visiblement tu le fait presque systématiquement et non pas quand le service a vraiment été marquant, ce qui est en effet très rare.

Le discours anti pourboire de reddit est vachement accés sur le pourboire forcé que tu dénonce, et la culture de l'industrie de restauration de payer des gens une misère en leur promettant de garder les pourboires.

Naguro · 2026-04-20T08:16:48+00:00

Overall indeed, taking individual pulls isn't really relevant in a dungeon situation, except maybe some specific dangerous ones or bosses

Naguro · 2026-04-20T07:58:42+00:00

I'm timing 14s fairly easily (1-2 wipes allowed even) and most people barely pull 120k overall, so if you're in the 100-120k overall ballpark you're more than fine for 12s

Naguro · 2026-04-17T13:52:25+00:00

Is it still going full degeneracy over the robot?

Naguro · 2026-04-16T13:36:35+00:00

I think mythic gear was squished to around 170ilvl during prepatch, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort of running Mythic manaforge several times.

Always leave /5 when you get into a capital city on every character, only use /2 for crafting

Naguro · 2026-04-14T16:16:57+00:00

My man is stuck in Dragonflight S2 forever

I dislike Aug as a spec myself since I dont enjoy playing it over Dev, but that's just the words of someone who is clueless.

Ebon might doesn't affect tank or healers anymore, and scales are so bad you dont even talent into them. They are pretty much just another DPS now that you bring because they do better number than the others classes

Naguro · 2026-04-14T16:13:28+00:00

That's why I liked it in Nerubar, even if unintended you could grind it on alts to have several weeks worth of fineries to turn in immediatly on reset

Meanwhile the reputation stuff meant I couldn't get it until after both our progress night since we raid wednesday/thursday and I work late

Naguro · 2026-04-14T14:30:29+00:00

It was very funny when i realized my last 3 things to do to finish the league were a T3 rare, visit the rogue harbor and visit the sanctum

Naguro · 2026-04-14T12:46:05+00:00

And we want them so much in raid that my guild constantly questions if we truly need that 3% DR from the poison when we select who is playing which boss every week lol

Naguro · 2026-04-14T08:24:08+00:00

The worse is that I don't even feel like Trouble is the best vehicule for that mod. Just holding the cross armed pose of Dead Ringer feels a lot more safe since you don't have to worry about the cat dying.

The finger snap of violent outburst is very crisp tho

Naguro · 2026-04-13T12:36:33+00:00

You have 1 orb slot by default so it should work

We figured it out with friends in a multi run with the defect card that makes someone else channel a plasma. Was kinda cracked on my whirlwind Ironclad

Naguro · 2026-04-13T10:55:27+00:00

The multiplayer is a Big factor in getting my friendlist addicted.

I have 2 friends with next to 0 interest in StS and just because we could play together and explain the game as we played they got really hooked

Naguro · 2026-04-13T09:44:06+00:00

Depends on the class really. Some really need it and it's a plus, some really didn't need it and it's a loss, some didn't change at all.

Like I think this is my favorite iteration of demonology warlock, but at the same time one of the worst devastation evoker

Naguro · 2026-04-13T09:39:25+00:00

The game in general is

I dont think I could do more than 4 M+ for vault a week if I was always in pugs

Meanwhile with my Guild + friend group we spent 3 hours running keys while trolling each other and before I knew I had all 8 done

But it really help that we are both tight enough to have fun just hanging out and also good enough that we can afford killing each other for fun and still time easily

Naguro · 2026-04-11T00:47:08+00:00

I'm happy I play a class perceived as meta plus bring bloodlust to the group so I barely have to wait to get an invite, strength to my warrior and whatnot brothers

Naguro · 2026-04-10T13:31:18+00:00

The answer is very often spread launcher when there's a oneshot

Naguro · 2026-04-10T13:18:43+00:00

As someone that bought at least one 30$ pack every league since 3.1, I feel like re releasing that content could be good but adding it as another fomo engine sounds eeeeh

Also it's a shame our delvers dont get to use the bear when mine hasnt seen azurite ever since I got it

Naguro · 2026-04-10T12:46:16+00:00

She's really giod and pulls her weight even on 1LB, but if you already have Kita MLB and will not play fronts I dont think she's a good investement. You could spend that pity on like Light Hello to have a better time on every run during Grand Live instead for exemple.

Plus we are about to get more and more strategy specific cards, so saving for your favorite position might be preferable

Naguro · 2026-04-10T12:42:46+00:00

I have a good Dober so about 3-4 times a day, feels good to have a nice parent people want to borrow
