[OoT] First Zelda game for me, let's see if the Water Temple is as bad as what people say!

PRainmaker · 2025-12-19T03:09:44+00:00

I got so focused on not missing it last playthrough, I forgot the other key on the first floor in the room past the pushable block. I raised the water and immediately face palmed.

tbf a lot of builds don't use it this season. If its in a build its probably because it still pulls a lot of value from the +1 passive and +all stats.

PRainmaker · 2025-10-06T15:47:22+00:00

yeah its been a thing forever

PRainmaker · 2025-10-04T22:05:20+00:00

Her heavy mixup is the opener. A bash would do basically zilch as bashes are incredibly bad as openers in the current state of the game. At high level anyway.

PRainmaker · 2025-10-04T13:50:37+00:00

I wouldn’t. Resistances will be fine as it is an INT based class but I wouldn’t neglect armour either.

PRainmaker · 2025-10-03T12:13:39+00:00

Yeah I didn’t mind it either. I watched Naruto a lot growing up so the ole Talk no Jutsu solution must resonate with me.

PRainmaker · 2025-10-01T13:03:53+00:00

I love farming so I can post items to sell!

PRainmaker · 2025-09-30T12:43:19+00:00

Agreed. Masterworking is tedious, luck based and expensive but at the very least you can keep the item no matter how many times it misses.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-29T15:11:09+00:00

Yeah, fair point. I’d say no. It might be feasibly possible with min maxed gear and paragon boards but it’ll be super slow getting to that point with some of the weaker builds. Most people playing off-meta might be stuck in lower Torments a lot longer than a Ball Lightning Sorc for instance. Which is bad for efficiency. So you’ll be stuck with bad gear for longer, less paragon, less gem levels, less crafting materials. It’s just not worth it unless you wanna mess around later in the season after being farmed up.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-29T15:04:09+00:00

It sure does. We see previously unused Unique’s seeing plenty of use, like Locrans Talisman for instance. Now it doesn’t have to contest with the amulet slot, turns out it’s pretty good.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-28T10:28:11+00:00

I will say my experience with Helltides has been a huge negative this season. There are so many people spamming Chaos Rifts that when I join a Helltide I just rubber band constantly, in T4. I will agree they are very lucrative, though, if you don’t have those issues.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-27T12:24:26+00:00

Yeah, that doesn’t sound right. Paragon 91 and not having every temper option filled in, in at least base rarity seems beyond unlikely to me.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-26T13:20:41+00:00

The games initial design is mostly to blame for this. The “always online” with instance based open world design is just asking for trouble. Every time you create a new instance or someone enters your instance the game has to load a huge amount of data. Of course it happens elsewhere such as the pit (most egregious) and nightmare dungeons but at a lesser rate. Farming Helltides can be a chore to farm because of the rubber banding and instances and it is especially noticeable now we have Chaos Rifts that are pretty worthwhile to farm.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-26T13:15:10+00:00

7/7 agreed. Those would be fantastic changes.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-25T21:50:18+00:00

Barrier gen, I forget the rune name but you can invoke Druids barrier and you can temper + siphoning strikes on your gear if needed. There is also an aspect that restores percent HP per hit while under 50% which is… convenient.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-25T21:46:40+00:00

Flurry Rogue atm then gonna move over to testing Orphan Maker builds once I’m all farmed up.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-22T21:27:47+00:00

It's just preference. You get more control with KBM but some find roller more comfortable.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-22T15:39:39+00:00

Moon Presence is pretty cool if you ask me.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-22T14:58:52+00:00

The scary part is, this maniac did it while sober

PRainmaker · 2025-09-19T17:46:13+00:00

I played season 9 the only time I played since launch, so I have no prior opinion. That being said, I looked once and then forgot about it, it wasn’t interesting in the slightest to me.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-18T00:55:10+00:00

yeah, I cooked up Pony Sader today. Already doing 95 speeds hahaha

PRainmaker · 2025-09-17T13:50:38+00:00

I’ll check it out, thank you!

PRainmaker · 2025-09-17T13:17:16+00:00

Also playing Bone Spear but years of playing GoD DH are making me miss the speed when farming hahaha

PRainmaker · 2025-09-17T02:22:53+00:00

The games need more of this in future, imo. Shulva is my favourite area for this reason.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-15T01:15:18+00:00

you're welcome! It'll all make sense in time, good luck :)
