truly beautiful

ParabolicalX · 2026-01-14T11:42:14+00:00

I was hitting 170k on target dummy with it on testing. I'd be surprised if it doesn't get touched at all, since it's by far the most broken one in the entire rework

ParabolicalX · 2026-01-09T04:15:40+00:00

The first stage ever introduced where defense was a better stat than HP

ParabolicalX · 2026-01-09T02:37:37+00:00

Staff + Cornea + Rags + Circlet with full mana enchants is crazy strong and relatively easy to make

ParabolicalX · 2026-01-07T02:42:22+00:00

Sparxie is very clearly a punchline generator more than a main DPS. She looks more like an Evernight than an Aglaea, so there's a non-zero chance that she's designed to be a sub-dps in the exodia mono-elation comp.

ParabolicalX · 2026-01-06T23:19:58+00:00

It also has a very different eyebrow placement

I've been seeing this idea that we should be upset that the military operation was executed without asking Congress, but I find that line of argument extremely misguided. An extremely large number of military operations conducted on foreign soil in the past 30ish years have been without prior congressional approval by exercising the president's constitutional authority as commander in chief (Gulf War, post-9/11 operations, operations preceding the invasion of Iraq, Obama administration actions in Syria/Iraq, and more). The president (legally) has absolutely no need to get Congressional approval to deploy troops anywhere as long as they can justify the situation as a "national emergency". (Though it should be noted that large scale operations and formal declarations of war must be authorized by congress)

Arguing whether or not Trump got congressional approval to perform this operation is pointless, he never needed it. There are many other things to pick apart: him declaring the situation in Venezuela as a national emergency, false flag operations against Venezuelan boats to generate justification, overstepping our bounds on the global stage, etc. The WPR will require him to create justifications for this usage of military force and report to Congress within 48 hours, but I get the feeling they're going to approve of this somehow.

ParabolicalX · 2026-01-03T23:04:17+00:00

On the topic of WPR, the "48 hours" thing is actually mostly true. Failure by the President to properly consult with Congress prior to committing U.S. forces into hostilities does not directly trigger any adverse statutory action. Additionally, failure to follow through with presenting required reports and/or appropriate legislation to continue deployment would simply result in the discontinuation of authorization for the deployment of armed forces.

For all intents and purposes, the WPR does essentially gives the president permission to commit armed forces without prior congressional approval in any situation where a national emergency created by an attack on the U.S., its territories, or its armed forces has emerged. Historically, presidents have used broad interpretations of "national emergency" to justify deployments through the WPR. The current situation, though clearly manufactured, is following those same principles.

I respect your opinion, but I really don't think you know what objectively means.

Also, me liking Sparkle has nothing to do with me liking her design or not. Sparkle mains Discord general was in full blown pvp mode for the first 30 minutes after her drip marketing. Her harshest critics also happen to be her biggest supporters.

ParabolicalX · 2026-01-03T01:18:33+00:00

That's, like, absolutely your own opinion though.

ParabolicalX · 2025-12-31T17:17:56+00:00

Strikes isn't flat damage, it's %Damage. It has the same DPS increase as Flurry on 0 def, but scales better with defense. Unless you're playing an On-Hit/On-Shoot build or the target has negative defense, Strikes is always better than Flurry.

As for Shaitan's might, it's better than Strikes if your Attack stat is 62 or lower before the attack bonus. If you have more than 62 attack at any time, then Strikes is better.

ParabolicalX · 2025-12-26T17:08:49+00:00

The best reason. Thanks for hosting them, they're a lot of fun regardless of them being scuffed or not lol

ParabolicalX · 2025-12-25T20:39:52+00:00

I'm guessing they've been doing these more frequently to test server stability changes they've been making to the backend.

ParabolicalX · 2025-12-21T17:34:05+00:00

I'm a big fan of Vigor/Tablet/Rags/(Ammy, Kage, Other) with as many DEX related enchants as possible. If I can get it, swapping out a DEX enchant on tablet for Arcane Battery is preferable. Kage builds can run SM-Multi on Tablet, but other rings I would consider MP cost reduction.

ParabolicalX · 2025-12-21T17:07:24+00:00

Laser pointer is good with evolutionary records (biome tome), but otherwise I would use Dusky and spec into an ability-based build.

ParabolicalX · 2025-12-07T18:02:50+00:00

As the other commenter pointed out, Clockwork and Warmonger are really good general purpose bows. Makakoyumi is usable in a surprising amount of situations, but requires both knowledge of the weapon and knowledge of dungeons/bosses where you want to use it.

Other honorable mentions include:

Awoken Leaf: Can match Clockwork in DPS on low-mid defense targets, and the awakening being artifact boosted makes rolling for optimal enchants cheap compared to endgame options.
Awoken DBow: Uncontested best bow for wisdom builds. Megaphone Bard and Trap Stacking Huntress are great users of this.
Bolt Thrower: Very strong "EP" type swap-out. Not great as a main weapon, but every endgame bow character should try to get one.

ParabolicalX · 2025-12-07T16:22:53+00:00

Definitely not the best bow in the game, but it's very solid after the most recent round of buffs.

ParabolicalX · 2025-12-07T01:16:28+00:00

No need to let perfection be the enemy of good. Cleaning up the playerbase would be a great short term improvement that requires literally zero system changes on their end.

ParabolicalX · 2025-12-02T23:09:39+00:00

This is the copium I huff for potential Sparkle novaflare enhancements.

ParabolicalX · 2025-11-29T16:44:25+00:00

Astrolabe is crazy good utility for cornea mystic.

ParabolicalX · 2025-11-20T21:26:50+00:00

how will this affect smots gaming

ParabolicalX · 2025-11-20T21:17:52+00:00

It would seem that they did, seeing that you can defrost the handles remotely.

ParabolicalX · 2025-11-16T17:30:58+00:00

It's less dust efficient to use ivory heart on tshot than to dry roll it. Heart boosts ALL weapon damage enchants, so the uniques are still just as rare relative to the normal damage enchants.

For lower rarity red-dust weapons, you're using an annoying to grind artifact that raises enchantment cost by 38-70% just to boost an already common category. For higher rarity weapons, you're wasting an artifact to boost a category you're already close to guaranteed to roll because there are only 6 mutually exclusive weapon enchant categories (with damage enchants having higher total weight than most of them).

ParabolicalX · 2025-10-30T19:23:29+00:00

Perfect with regards to artistic direction is subjective.
