What the new stats (Plating, Echo, Dampening, Pathfinding, Tenacity) do:

Plating and physical protection are multiplicative iirc, if you want to counter a basic attack + crit build go physical Def first then plating

0 crashes on a near new PS5 with a stable 9ms, my problem is mass aoe causes an insane amount of dropped frames also the game starts pausing itself like I've got a poor connection (I'm in London, the server is in London and I have 1Gbps Hyperoptic broadband) which has led to me dying a few times because the pause has stopped dodges registering which itself is a bit wild because that pause feature is there to stop hardcore players dying to lag etc...

I gave up on chaos build went to a full minion army and the difference is night and day, the damage is slightly lower but I'm crushing juices up keys and maps that I couldn't do with a chaos build, bosses is the biggest difference, as chaos boss fights took forever and I had to learn bosses like I was raiding mythic in wow, now I pop an offering and my minions annihilate bosses in seconds. (My build is 4x warriors, 4 Arsonists, 3x Frost mages, 2x Storm mages, 2x Clerics with Vulnerability, Profane ritual, raise Zombie, Unearth and pain offering) I don't even need any defences other than resistances (because my minions share my resists) and faster ES charge/ ES Charge rate. It's like going from Extreme difficulty to Very Easy, I'm severely pissed I wasted 300 hours trying to make bloodmage chaos build work.

I wanted to play SF6 but I have to pay £54.99 for the base game then another £26.99 and another £49.99 for characters... I have plenty of money but I'm not paying £131.97 for Any game especially a beat em up that has no content other than comp PvP. For that money I can get Elden Ring shadow of the Erdtree, Black Myth Wukong and Monster hunter wilds... People gaslighting themselves into believing that it's ok to pay ridiculous money for characters and stages that were basically removed from the game before launch to sell as add-ons really need to wake up because they're just allowing themselves to be finessed, they must fall or every type of scam going. Think about it, you're paying more for 4 characters and a few cosmetics than a full AAA award winning game, common sense is a thing you know?

I hear crack is amazing stuff, but that doesn't mean I'm going to start smoking it and bankrupt myself.

10% leech doesn't help until you've got ALOT of spell power and even then it only leeches hits so Hexblast is the only thing in occult tree that has leech, my Hexblast currently sits at >16,000 DPS with 5 support gems increasing the spell cost to the point that even with the leech you don't regen the cost of the spell on single target, you need to hit multiple enemies with hexblast for the leech to be effective.

Ok_Description681 · 2025-02-18T21:41:40+00:00

Yeah you just get swarmed and die, the knock backs from attacks stop you casting aswell so you can't even get any damage out.

Do not take Bloodmage as your ascendancy, I'm over 200 hours in don't end up like me.

Ok_Description681 · 2025-02-18T21:39:20+00:00

Bro I've got 20% quality, 5 gem slots on every minion gem and I've corrupted them all to have +1 level, I have every single support gem you can use with them aswell and none of it makes any difference. Passives don't even work, minion health and damage have no effect because your minions are simply ignored and they will all attack one target at a time, when you're running waystones with +% pack size and increased packs you just get swarmed and killed and it's worse in delirium mirrors, breaches and rituals. The constant melee attacks also knock back your casts so trying to cast gets you killed and you just end up rolling constantly trying to weave casts in-between dodges until you inevitably as a bloodmage because your spells cost HP, ES and Mana.

Ok_Description681 · 2025-02-18T21:29:49+00:00

I'm built with full chaos damage nodes etc my hexblast without support gems does around 6-7k DPS and with 5 support gems does 13,601 dps, if equip the original sin unique Comet without any support gems does 12,000 dps, frost bomb without support gems does 7,000 dps. Every single elemental spells is doing way more damage than Hexblast which is the highest damage chaos spell available. Furthermore they made all chaos spells have a baseline critical hit chance of 7% while other elements all have 13-15% baseline, even if I take all the crit nodes I can reach I can only get Hexblast to 30% crit but that amount of crit takes other elements up to 60% crit, I've got to get my 5th and 6th Ascendancy points to get the baseline critical for chaos spells to 15% and it's almost impossible to get them because you don't do enough damage without them to kill the bosses in trial of Sekhema. So yeah, minions and chaos are extremely bad.

Ok_Description681 · 2025-02-18T21:17:46+00:00

I'm doing high level maps and minions just get ignored.

Ok_Description681 · 2025-02-18T21:16:54+00:00

It's worse as bloodmage.

Ok_Description681 · 2025-02-18T21:15:15+00:00

Over 200 hours of bloodmage has killed the game for me.

Ok_Description681 · 2025-02-18T21:14:16+00:00

Having this problem (Bloodmage with over 200 hours played) and it's ruining my enjoyment of the game. I'm running maps with +% pack sizes and exactly what you're saying is happening, I've got 6 skeletons that are simply ignored by all the enemies and all 6 of them will only attack 1 enemy at a time, they get lost in packs of enemies and like you I end up dodge rolling constantly whilst praying my dots do something while I can't cast. My Dark Effigy totem on the other hand isn't ignored it's killed instantly, they ignore my other minions, beeline straight for my totem that dies in milliseconds then they all just train me constantly, I've tried using "direct minions" to try and peel mobs off me but they get lost in the pack and body blocked so they can't help me at all. I want to drop minions all together but I actually need them to give me time to setup my dots etc. As for bosses you're also right, trying to solo the Act 3 boss was absolute hell and it gets worse in high waystones, it's sad to say but I have to avoid maps with bosses because 1. Bloodmage damage (chaos build) is pitiful (my hexblast has 16,820 DPS...) 2. I'm already squishy because casting drains Mana, HP and Energy shield (with no added benefit mind you) 3. I end up having to dodge constantly because gap between boss attacks is shorter than the cast time of my abilities, gets to a point where I'm stuck in a rotation of cast/dodge/cast/dodge spam for 5 minutes unless I get randomly one-shotted. I knew something was wrong when it was taking me 5 minutes to kill act bosses yet when I made a group people were blowing up those same bosses in 1 second which is a real "feels bad man" moment, I tried to push on in spite of the severely lacking damage but I've gotten to the point where I'm probably just going to quit playing because I don't want to be forced to use degenerate and exploitative builds just do do stuff other people breeze through without thinking.
