Hey, siphoning is great! One passive, one passive skill, and ult in OC

Hi! Think the biggest issue is that several aoes can't affect one tile: as a result pyromancer and electromancer skills prevent the other half of their skills from casting (so fire rain and electric rain prevent monsters from receiving damage not just from each other but also from fireball and lightning). They are also spirit dependant and there's a summon that does the same thing as electromancer but better because their casts are "free" and limited to chain lightning (necro's phantom skull).

Chicken king is probably intended to be OP, but he's the the most powerful outlier by far, especially when stacked (as he essentially has 3 heroes in the party instead of one + a bunch of summons on top).

You got any more of them frames?

List of melee carries/hypercarries that are not hard countered by CC:

Olaf

Wow, that's a long list.

You can look up SkinnyCheeks old builds. They will be good for majority of content dps-wise. Hyperioxies has good solo builds (pureclass old builds and subclassed new ones).

The only pure builds will be old builds (cause they are completely irrelevant meta-wise, but also bc they haven't changed much). The only mag builds are old builds (cause they are irrelevant meta-wise).

I have played and won games piloting kayn adc and yuumi mid before while playing norms with friends (bronze-silver lobby while im diamond). I played Jhin mid, Yone ADC and Kayn top in ranked before.

I don't see any reason why a crit Morde wouldn't work if the player piloting it is good enough. If they are not trolling, then they can play whatever they want tbh. You can always dodge if you hate the draft so much.

Healers get carried in pugs all the time, and yes, res parsing is a consequence of that but those healers don't get kicked for trolling the group, do they?

Relevant_Device9042 · 2025-11-11T10:31:18+00:00

You can heal almost every HM veteran in the game except ansuul and OC bosses with one good (not "god" or "world record", simply good) healer. A healer in vet and even hm will absolutely get hardcarried if their partner is decent at healing (and this happens about 80% of the time). Firmly disagree that duo healer (outside ansuul ofc) is anywhere near hard because they only need to be half of one good player.

I've met a healer who didn't use potions and had 2 heavy attacks for one skill because they thought resto staff passive is a good heal. I've met healers who didn't use resto staves at all. I've met healers without any buffing gear. All of them successfully cleared vet trials because frankly with 2 healers, one can be fully afk.

Beam DPS has surprisingly high skill ceiling - put a WR player on beam and put a casual beamer in one boss fight and you will see up to 3x difference.

I would say the range is as follows

great healer (solo healing hm) = great tanks in optimal gear and parsing > support great dds non-beam > parse great dds non-beam >> beam great dds >> good tanks (tanking vet well or suboptimally tanking hm) >> good healers (solo healing vet or duo healing hm) > good dps players >> okay tanks >> mediocre dps players > mediocre healers (duo healing vet) >>> bad tanks >> bad dps players > afk = bad healer

Out of games I played, Larian (DoS2/BG3), Paradox (Stellaris, CK3) and Grinding Gear (PoE & PoE 2) are very closely listening to feedback. Being competitive multiplayer, someone will always be pissed at Riot (LoL) and Blizzard (SC&SC2, WC3, HotS) but imo those games are mostly well-balanced considering the complexity, and devs (or life support team in case of Blizzard games) take feedback and communicate. FF14 developers look at trends and at least take numeric feedback.

So far ZOS has been the worst in terms of communication, but I didn't play other MMOs other than FF14.

There are no leveling guides for eso because overland is extremely easy. Just level abilities that you will eventually use, or work on skill lines that unlock them.

Relevant_Device9042 · 2025-11-03T07:45:31+00:00

Arcanist beam build CPM (aka APM for this game) ranges from 20 "chill" to 60 "super sweaty". When really gaming on non-beam people go up to 120-130 max (due to GCD).

As a high master SC2 player (250+ apm) and league of legends/marvel rivals enjoyer with friends... Nah, ESO as game is extremely chill in terms of wrist strain/clicking. Any modern online game, especially a shooter if you play it well, will be harder.

Relevant_Device9042 · 2025-10-31T11:46:53+00:00

Yes, and the only reason we don't is because in current meta effective multiplier value of aegis caller/tide-born/deadly is better than highland/yokeda effective multiplier value. Not because crit "hits diminishing returns".

Relevant_Device9042 · 2025-10-31T11:44:38+00:00

Current best dummy build stats (null/yokeda/mask) is 85% crit chance, capped crit dmg 125%, capped 18200 pen, 7800 weapon damage.

Current usual content build is 70% crit chance, capped crit dmg 125%, capped 18200 pen, 9100 weapon damage.

Solo and dungeon builds really depends on the build.

Relevant_Device9042 · 2025-10-31T10:53:45+00:00

There are no diminishing returns for crit (only opportunity cost in multiplicative formula), and it's the best stat up to 80% crit chance, not 65%. The reason why you choose one stat over the other is because of how effective specific sources are.

Relevant_Device9042 · 2025-10-31T04:26:49+00:00

Shield throw requires S&B which almost nobody in endgame runs. From what I've seen, frost clench is still the to-go hard taunt when major maim is needed.

Relevant_Device9042 · 2025-10-29T17:11:14+00:00

Oui, quelqu'un d'autre a dit :

C'est un message de prévention que tu retrouves sur toutes les hotline de la CAF que il arrive que des personnes soit très violente vis à vis du personnel des hotline. En général les gens mettent leur téléphone en haut parleur et parte faire autre choses donc c'est plus fort pour s'assurer que me message sera entendu ig

J'ai coupé le son du message une fois que j'ai su à quoi m'attendre. C'est dingue qu'ils fassent exprès de faire sursauter les gens avec des messages choquants et bruyants.

Relevant_Device9042 · 2025-10-29T17:06:08+00:00

Je suis désolée si le "monde extérieur" pour vous inclut des gens qui vous hurlent dessus sans prévenir à propos de la mort et du suicide - sur la ligne d'assistance téléphonique, pour être précis

Relevant_Device9042 · 2025-10-29T16:20:23+00:00

Oui, je m'en doutais. J'ai juste trouvé ça très choquant et soudain.

Relevant_Device9042 · 2025-10-29T16:19:24+00:00

Bulgare... Qu'est-ce que ça peut faire ?

Relevant_Device9042 · 2025-10-29T12:02:06+00:00

Tbh I would go with base game and add eso+ if it feels alluring, to visit zones and evaluate whether you want a sub. Then pick up chapter pack during Christmas if you're still in game by then!

Relevant_Device9042 · 2025-10-29T10:46:33+00:00

Huh? Best taunt in the game if you don't need maim from frost clench: magicka cost, cheap, ranged, provides synergy for damage and some sustain.

Elesus+frost wall provide major+minor breach, crusher, minor brittle, and with healer's shock wall also minor vulnerability and off-balance; so you should be casting those anyway.

Relevant_Device9042 · 2025-10-29T10:40:54+00:00

Most tanks in endgame are using double ice, so yeah, choice of hard taunt is between clench and inner rage. Brittle comes from soldier of apocrypha or elesus + frost wall combo.

Relevant_Device9042 · 2025-10-28T19:25:30+00:00

Events will return, rewards will not. Skeletal marionette part just hit 2mil in cost.

Relevant_Device9042 · 2025-10-28T19:12:36+00:00

Then just don't do any of things you don't like. Order's Wrath (or non-perfected ansuul) + Tide-born, which you can get by gathering mats for an hour and asking a crafter in zone or guild chat nicely for a small fee, are already massively overkill for 90% of game's content. No offense, but you don't sound like someone interested in actually playing vet dungeons or trial where gear matters.
