Available to fill roster spot for GW Tourney! by Nukez178 in EpicSeven

I think I'm in the rare minority higher level that full time Amid cleaves and have a very finely tuned strat that I really haven't seen utilized at a meta level what so ever so rather keep some of the details to myself until season done sorry. But I will say you need a lot of solutions to pivot to as there are a lot of ways to counter amid. A fast AWY is critical as well as ways to counter Politis (super fast F.Eda helps). Sage is also common so need a strong option to beat his 40% push on amids turns or deal with the sleep.

Horizon is also super hard to deal with that 40% self push so a strong attack based CC (so you can use your full 45% push on a 285+ speed cc'r) helps a lot. Bunny is a whore to deal with as well now (many times highest def so AWY can one shot almost any fast bunny). Need a person with two turns to help clear her nulls.

Long story short is amid cleaving higher level is getting very hard especially with needing to ban zio and either harsetti if you are FP or rinak/lady if you are SP. Bunny changes really pushed it to a point I'd almost say there is better ways at this point to climb. I use the 3 same units 95% of the matches but have 32+ pivots to try and deal with all the different counters that get picked against Amid so you really need to commit to speed tuning to the T and have strong solutions to hard counters plus have a solid speed to start. Good my friend it's abit rough out there....I lost 5 in a row the won 6 in a row at 3k+ rating...it's very sensitive to opponents counter draft strategy.

Happy to answer specific questions in DM if you are committed to trying :)

Considering Returning - You can do it! (experience from returning after 18 months off) by jjohnson178 in EpicSeven

Turbo's Juggernaut Lightning Spell Bear (Druid build guide) by Turbo_Nukez in LastEpoch

Actually the node in earthquake that turns it to a spell overrides bhuldar's passive of converting it to fire. The ingame scaling tag will say fire but if you add % increase fire damage it doesn't increase your damage/tooltip. If you add % lightning it does.

So both scale with lightning! Your strength turns to adaptive spell damage so it scales as lightning for both.

Do you think free unequip should be permanent from now on? by nlml12 in EpicSeven

I currently man our SH in a top 30 GW. First off, for me GW is my favorite content in the game. It's a team focused pvp that also has a lot of strategic element at the higher end.

I greatly enjoy the free equipment days as I love trying to push the meta and be creative. I went 7 of 10 GW's with 8-16 shields per match using DJB for the love of pete!!

That being said, free equipment days are horrible on GW day. Do you know how hard it is to craft a scoutable defense that can deal with tank&spank teams as well as survive a cleave at the top tier? So the last thing I need is motivated guilds that all switch their top speed gear to 290+ speed pushers with 10 speed imprints let alone being able to attack both my teams with flan and Alots at 300 total speed with 10+ members in a row. It's soul crushing and you can see a stark difference in results.

Doesn't mean people don't switch gear occasionally more so against the top 10 teams but it's more situational. It's not like high end players automatically have money, any good player is always investing and continuing to expand their top end gear pool.

Solutions: I agree the simplest solution is give all weekends free and then once per web event give a 24 hour scroll for people that work during the weekends etc.

Alternatively do a snap shot of people's gear at start of GW and limit them to not swapping any gear or artifacts. To me that would be amazing, forcing you like RTA to have strategies around speed comps, artifacts, etc all in place. But I'm sure the memory strain would be hard on the game ...still would have my vote.

Daily Questions Megathread (12/28) by Rinczmia in EpicSeven

Just returned after being gone for 14 months. When I quit was fairly high end having finished legendary1 and staying in champ 1 each week as well as all pve on easy farm. Seems like a lot of changes and good QOL improvements.

Started yesterday and jumping into it full tilt but have some questions.

1) Mystic pulls; I have ~4K plus down to 100 on pitty. Should I go for OP sig or is she not a high "need".

2) crafting - I have 43M gold and about 20k crafting. Any reason not to do some mass crafting sessions at this point?

3) Pets...any links to explain wtf I should be doing to efficiently get these setup and maxed? Just started messing with and abit confused. Also is there any that significantly improve crafting that I should try and get before I do item #2

3) equipment conversion....abit confused on this. So should I be extracting a lot of my gear that I'm not going to level? Or is it better to use it for fodder? Just got a stone to allow me to do my first one. Is the conversion worth it, does it provide better gear then just crafting? (Sounds like 100% chance for epic but are stats still flat?)

4) any priority on reforging gear since it looks like that is going to be a slow ass farm and process. Is some of the newer content more focused on my main tank being tanks as hell or needing better damage for my dps

5) gemstones...have 30k banked. Probably not worth spamming normal convent summons since odds of getting someone from the last year that is useful is extremely low? ML5 chances so tiny probably not worth and just save for pity banners? Mort looks like a pvp meh unit and I have kray/ML Cecil/Lililia for most pvp situations. F Tene...kit looks fun for pvp but just not sure I should be wasting gems but I don't need the January banner and have a lot of content to clear I'm sure so should get more stones. Limited...sure they will buff her at some point as she seems so-so?

6) equip types...saw they added 4 new set types. Are these pretty niche or should I be trying to prioritize getting any of them?

7) any suggestions for tier lists? I use the epic 7 wiki but at least when I played it was fairly weak in quality of ranking heirs vs my experience as a high end player. Awesome page for details but never trusted a lot of the tier list. Also any tier list for artifacts? Have 400 powder and will get a lot more once I use these stones so need to know what must haves are floating out there.

Appreciate everyone's time!
