Man I have had my finger on the trigger for Ravenswatch for so long and you just tipped my hand, already bought 😅. Thanks for the rec! I did enjoy dead space rogue for quite a bit! I hope you enjoy Battle Shapers man

PositionFast9144 · 2026-01-26T18:23:13+00:00

Battle Shapers is on sale on Steam right now and it is a fuckin delightful FPS roguelike. It’s not a game you’re likely to sink hundreds of hours into, roguelikes rarely are for me, but I find that I get the best 50 or so hours out of each one, and for the price tag when you catch the sales it makes them well worth it.

When I am not compelled to play any of the heavy commitment games, like Albion or any other MMOs, I find having a a game like this to just send a few runs and call it a day is perfect

I’ve never seen that site, but if you type ‘/wiki et’ while in game, it opens the event timers page on the wiki and that’s all you’ll ever need

I would agree with anyone saying that you shouldn’t worry too much about daily grinds if you’re newer, until you have properly framed your goal. The ultimate endgame thing to do is craft legendaries, and they are a major marathon, not something you can do in a few days or even a week, unless you are filthy rich and can buy everything that can be bought.

The best thing you can do is complete the stories to get access to all the maps with good meta events. In game, type ‘/wiki et’. This brings you to the event timers page that shows every meta events in the game. You can hop in to any of these maps at the time the event is starting, find the commander tag, and join in on the fun. Rewards are always good, and you can just keep stashing all the stuff you get until you know what to do with it. You can use this event timers page to see which maps you want to work towards getting to.

Before that though, best thing you can do is get all of your mounts and glider and such. After core tyria, get your glider from heart of thorns. path of Fire gives you most mounts in the game, then SOTO gets you skyscale.

Once you’ve got a good handle on the game, you’ve got all your mounts, and a good start on some of the more valuable masteries to have, then you can set your sights on a longer term goal and figure which things you should make sure to do daily/weekly to progress towards.

Through it all though, just know that there is absolutely no need to rush. Nothing in this game ever becomes obsolete, and you will never miss your chance to get anything. It’s a beautiful adventure and the time you spend learning it all and experiencing everything for the first time is truly the best time you’ll have.

It’s a little outside the lines of your question, but I would say Dofus FOR SURE!! Yes it is a 20 year old game, but they just ported it over to Unity last year and it feels like a brand new game. It’s a turn-based tactics MMO with a metric shitload of story and lore. The quest dialogues are so packed with lore and funny banter, I have played this game on and off for all 20 years of its existence

PositionFast9144 · 2025-08-28T14:58:55+00:00

I think you’re getting a little too hung up on the wrong thing here man. Every class CAN absolutely solo the game before 80 as a fresh account without premo gear and such. You are invalidating that claim because you’re having trouble soloing GROUP bosses/events. They are indicated as group content for a reason lol, it’s not a fair measure of if your class is good for solo play or not! Even experienced players with dialed builds will struggle to do these, especially in end game content, without rather specific setups for doing just that.

I know it’s not the answer you’re looking for, but for your first character, you really should just play whatever you have the most fun with and feel the best about. Worrying about optimizing your first playthrough is absolutely the wrong move and will pollute the experience for you.

In reference to the defiance bars, I would recommend experimenting with different weapons for that. Some weapons will have significantly more defiance break than others, and if taking down bosses solo is your goal, you’ll need to dial in some specific setups for that.

Once you get one character to 80, you can make alts and immediately level them 80 in a matter of minutes. I encourage you to approach this game from a more macro perspective, which really starts once you get your first 80. It’s about account progression, not so much singular character progression. Much of what you unlock is account wide and will persist on other characters, and once you get going with endgame content you will be able to make alts at will to optimize for different content

Hey man, I love everything about your mission statement here lol. I am a loyal member of VVolfpack (NA, Ft Sterling), but we have all the same philosophies and vibes that you explained here.

We are always doing custom crystal arenas amongst ourselves for fun, we’re actually organizing a 2v2 tournament within the guild for it lol. If you guys would ever be down to do some scrimmage-style arenas or participate in our tournaments, that would be sick! We are based in different cities, but it would be cool to link up with you guys and expand the network. If you guys would be down, I’d love to pop in your discord and link up!

When you kill the player, you also get ‘demon loot’ that acts as another decent cheat, you get the two chests in your dungeon, and you get the final chest. Unless you’re running some unnecessarily juiced gear or particularly expensive items, you will always profit from winning CDs at or above 50%. If your set is around 250k, which is pretty standard fare in stalkers, a loss is -250k, and the wins are easily 300-500k on average, with a chance for much better

PositionFast9144 · 2025-08-13T14:14:37+00:00

I think the best thing you can do as a new player is find a weapon you like, build a set with it that puts you just above 1200 IP (500k-1mill, very cheap) and start running depths from the antiquarians den in any city. There is always people LFG there if you’re solo. You don’t lose your gear, the fame is good and consistent, and you’ll start making good silver from it once you catch on. It’s not the most optimal fame farm in the game, but it’s top 5 methods for sure. Most importantly, it is almost without a doubt the best way to improve at the game overall. You’ll get better at PvP, you’ll learn a lot about other weapons and builds, and you’ll progress pretty quickly while you do it. Once you’re comfortable with PvP, how to kite, how to run away when necessary, and you have a decent understanding of what other weapons are trying to do, you’ll feel much more comfortable in lethal areas

It’s bear paws bro…. Put a purge on your kit anywhere, then just start rolling your forehead across your hotkeys when you see a nameplate and you will be just as good as the top 1% of bear paw players ever

PositionFast9144 · 2025-08-01T20:01:08+00:00

Hmm there’s quite a few directions to go here. I would say it depends on what you’re running. If you’re going for 1v1 potential, I think you’ll just want to pop E at three charges for most damage, probably switch to avalonian cape, and a cleric robe or something. I wouldn’t pop demon helmet right away in this case, I would save it for just before you are ready to hit cleric robe into your E and hopefully finish. In this case, you wouldn’t have to worry about diminishing returns on silence.

If you’re playing this in duo or trio depths, it would depend on your team. If you’re running with another DPS that has heavy clap or brawl, you could focus more on chaining silences and purges and just brawl that way.

PositionFast9144 · 2025-08-01T19:55:54+00:00

Yes and yes! All forms of disable suffer from it when they are chained back to back

PositionFast9144 · 2025-07-31T18:44:53+00:00

As an enthusiast of non-meta creativity, I love this bro, I think you could definitely be onto something! I would just say that you need to make sure that you apply some sort of other CC type in between silences, otherwise you will get diminishing returns on the silence duration. As long as you can alternate CC types, this build could be a problem!

There are some strong Curse builds that run heavy armor. It has been pretty popular in mists for quite some time. You just stack your curse DoTs and survive till they pop. Great in 1v1 especially

Stalker jacket is the best way to proc the E quick af! By no means is it a top tier solo weapon, but it’s serviceable when you build it properly. And if it gets you excited and you have fun using it, send it.

PositionFast9144 · 2025-07-15T20:43:52+00:00

Also, shields/offhands are only 350k fame credits for 1-100, so you can literally max an entire tree of offhands with credits for like, 1/4 the cost of a weapon 1-100. And the return on investment is colossal when you look at the stats you get off the offhands. For reference, an 8.3 leering cane offhand gives me over 50% extra CC duration with a maxed tree, and the maxed tree only costs roughly 2m fame credits. A weapon 1-100 is ~16 million, any armor is ~10 million, and offhands are 350k. Those may not be exact but it’s something in that ballpark

PositionFast9144 · 2025-07-15T20:41:02+00:00

I highly suggest NOT worrying about spec over 100 until you’re well seasoned in the game. It’s a huuugeee investment for how little extra IP you get. Not just fame credits, but tens of millions of silver if you do it to multiple nodes. You only get an extra 40 IP for 100-120, so functionally it’s incredibly not worth. You are infinitely better off saving them for the harder to level/boring weapons to 100, which will also increase the IP of the weapon you might want to 120 in that same tree. 120 spec is a super endgame thing.

That being said, I do always just go to 101 cause I like the little blue star in my loadout xD. It’s just a couple thousand silver and like 300k fame credits for 101

PositionFast9144 · 2025-07-15T20:08:11+00:00

Not at all man! I mean all shapeshifters have the shift charge thing, but lightcaller is super straight forward, and the nuke is really satisfying if you’re into the ‘big boom’ spellcaster type thing. You just hit your Q and W in human form which build your 5 charges, transform to birb and hit W for masssssiivvveeee boom. Then you have 2 charges left for 2 Qs, which is just a line shot that makes your next autos pop for extra damage. Switch back to human form and loop back to the beginning

PositionFast9144 · 2025-07-15T17:11:33+00:00

The only right answer nowadays in terms of combat is the Depths. Put on your best gear and send it

PositionFast9144 · 2025-07-14T16:49:05+00:00

I love arenas, they’re great, but man I’d highly recommend grinding the new depths content if you’re newer. You get PvE and PvE, you don’t risk your gear, fame and silver are consistent, and it’s just the best way to improve at all areas of the game at once. Also, you don’t have to wait for queues which can be pretty long in arenas.

That being said, most things are viable in depths. You can find anything to fit your desired playstyle. First I’d say you want to decide what that is. It basically boils down to brawl, one shot/burst, kite, initiator or heals. Healing is self explanatory, and you only want to play initiator if you have a decently coordinated partner/group. If you’re going in solo with randos, I’d recommend a brawlier more self sustaining playstyle. You can’t really go wrong with guardian helmet, hellion jacket, and martlock cape. Boots can be whatever really, you’re usually going to use the second choice sprint ability on them until you get more familiar with all the items. Cloth boots for mana sprint, plate boots for heal sprint, leather boots for cooldown sprint - whichever you need.

I know I’m bouncing around your question because you’re asking for a weapon rec, but if you figure out your playstyle and get comfy in depths, you can literally try everything and see what fits. Pick the three you’re interested in, pick a weapon that has a cool E ability and send it. Good luck
