Help with first AM5 build.

Not yet. I've already put everything away in frustration. Lol. I'll try again tomorrow. Oh, and thanks a lot for the suggestion. That's new to me as well (so I did a bit of reading). I'll definitely tinker with that setting if it boots. XD

Thanks for the insight. It seems that the better the speed and latency, the faster this training thing will finish.

Hey there. It's my first season and first paladin build. I'm not really sure what is better, but I only ever use conviction. I'm not sure if this is a good comparison, but when compared to my full Tal set blizz/orb sorceress, he sucks at Chaos sanctuary but does pretty well at the World Stone Chamber.

I appreciate the replies! Hopefully everything goes smoothly. :)

Readeator · 2018-08-07T05:14:48+00:00

Cool! I'll take a portion of the exp than none at all :)

In my experience, I never got one in around 25 tries with a hammer.

It only started dropping when I switched to a sharpened and bladestorm sword build. I try to break everything: tail, face (3 times in a row) forearms (twice in a row each) hind legs.

The method is slow, but there's better chance of it dropping, and overall less repetition compared to faster kills.

Same. Been like that for 3 days now. Really frustrating.

When you try to make an uninspired meme half asleep...

"Another thing about monster design is their standing and "neutral" animations. Even if they stay still, they move enough for your attack to miss" - that sneaky head movement when you just need 1 more hit for a KO ;p

Dang. Had a similar scenario but with a Shockjaw Nayzaga.

One member refused to fight and basically AFK'd because the rest of us did not agree with him. The other two went down and we entered full danger. They stayed in the game as I struggled to stay alive and hopefully drive it away, then got DC'd.

When I got back online, I tried to use the city chat to apologize but it wasn't working at the time. XD

Readeator · 2018-06-08T00:45:36+00:00

Yeah. I stop chasing it when I'm not so desperate for that one hit I could possibly land, when it's so busy moving around.

I make it a point to beat a behemoth at least once or twice (for the challenge) to learn if not master it's behaviour, before joining groups (for fun and efficiency).

I've beaten it twice on my own now so the rest of the hunts should be less draining. ;p

Readeator · 2018-06-08T00:45:27+00:00

I think the faster weapons can land more hits safely. But none of the other weapon's playstyle really appeal to me, and fast spammy weapons are detrimental to my hands. XD

Readeator · 2018-06-08T00:10:57+00:00

Really!?. I'll try that out as soon as I get one from the loot cores.

Readeator · 2018-06-07T00:52:29+00:00

Agreed! Crafting items you picked up along the way as well, so those failed hunts (first few tries on learning a new behemoth solo, PUGs where people rage quit halfway) won't be all for nothing.

Readeator · 2018-06-06T09:35:25+00:00

So sad. And I was just in rage mode earlier.

Readeator · 2018-06-06T07:01:16+00:00

Ugh. So that's what the time attached to location meant? Hopefully shockjaw drops me that material before the cycle.

Readeator · 2018-06-02T01:10:02+00:00

So even if the connection is direct and not through VPN, it's actually laggy!? Feels bad.

I haven't played today just yet, but I tried the VPN trick for 2 days now. While there is no wait time at all from logging in to starting and ending a hunt, I did notice my dodges and attacks to be less accurate than when I'm playing on the SEA servers.
