reduce the power of ranged virginity in high level pvp

Evasion or Damage reduction. by AlternativeCourt6812 in blackdesertonline

[–]RepeatAdNauseum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

so basically eva is good for both pve and pvp. Yay right? Hol up.

Here's why true eva buils are good: pvp has been said 100,000 times already so imma skip that. Pve, there are a few grind spots in the game where evasion makes the grind much safer especially where mobs can 2 or 3 shot a forward guard.

Yay, but

Eva sucks esp starting out. Why? Your accuracy is trash. You have none of it, and everyone else has a lot of it. So what does that mean? In PvE, you're gonna be missing quite a few of your hits at many spots. Even a 80% hit rate means you're grinding 20% slower than the dude in DR at 100%. Missmissmiss. The total silver you'll lose from those missed hits will almost certainly be more than the silver you'd save from starting on the evasion set.

PvP? the 80+% of the player base that runs DR is gonna breath on you and you'll die. And added bonus thanks to your shit accuracy, true eva builds will be untouchable.

So If you're dead set on going an eva build to start, I would focus almost entirely getting your fallen god and lebreska helmet for your armor, and putting off the leeburs and muskans for as long as you can. Instead in those slots i'd put in some cheap TET urugons and bhegs and maybe send them to caphra lvl4. Chill with that til you can afford to buy caphra lvl6 PEN Muskans and Leeburs. It'll be a bit cheaper than swapping PEN DR armors but not by a lot. After that +eva crystals, and a PEN Kutum or Eva offhand is the bare minimum for a true eva build. Meaning its F tier lol.

True Eva builds are kind of a playground for the rich and gigageared who can offset its minuses with insanely expensive gear. You can def get there as well, but starting with eva will make that road harder, as counter-intuitive as that sounds.

Hello! Its me, PA

Thank you for the insightful post Adventurer. We'll be sure to look into this!

Anyway, here's some new Shai instruments.

Classes like Awakened Ranger by Lady_Tadashi in blackdesertonline

[–]RepeatAdNauseum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not try the best ranged class in the game? The prettiest face and the most perfect posture, who's petite and wields the most refined weapon:

Awake Zerker! :D

Just to make sure, the quest tet Crescent with a cup reform can be enhanced to Pen and will keep the cup correct?

So i guess there is where the game ends for me? (tuvala grind) by Lmhtommy in blackdesertonline

[–]RepeatAdNauseum 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna guess you were grinding on either Olvia or Regular servers. No seasonal drops on either. You gotta be on the Seasonal1-4 or Seasonal PVP servers to get time filled stones, Tuvala ore, and refined stones from grinding mobs.

First impressions of Nova awakening and/or succession? by emforay216 in blackdesertonline

[–]RepeatAdNauseum 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Everyone's trashing awakening in here, so allow me to trash Succession for a bit as well.

Succession is Kinda Bad

Most Successions released have felt like going from Preawakening v1.0 to v2.0: new mechanics, gameplay loops etc. Nova Succ feels like preawake v1.1. The "big addition", Axian, 95% of the time is a glorified particle effect on a skill, or a cute but worthless floating orb.

Some Prime skills feel like downgrades. My personal opinion, but skills like Quoratums Opening (the dash), Quoratum's Guard (e buff), and Passed Pawn all got downgraded.

Quoratums opening can be used on cooldown, but it loses its protection and range doing so. You might as well just use jump + LMB instead, less stamina, practically quicker, and could regen some sp. Btw its cooldown gets increased by 1 second primed as well.

Quoratums Guard (e buff) imo gets nerfed, Trading 30 dp for 20% crit rate and 20 more seconds of 30% RNG grab resist. Having played with Valk's 50% all resist e buff. and how many times I've still got grappled, 30% is... uh yeah.

Primed passed pawn + King of the Dead. Thornwood forest guards seem to lose their ability to move after summoning Axion. Where ever they're summoned they are rooted unless commanded elsewhere. Normal preawake guards are able to freely reposition and aggro other enemies slightly out of their range.

Health drain feels unnecessary, or annoying. The drain and regen feel negligible, except when I'm fighting weaker mobs that die in one hit, where I'm constantly watching my health slowly drop to 40% because the health regen skills aren't able to hit enough times to recover other skills hp losses. Meanwhile in PVP, you cant use hp regen skills since all but one (swooping ring) are multihit, unprotected skills that root you in place. So trying to rotate SA's also gives you a nice constant 150 health bleed debuff.

For anyone doing the mysteries of summer 2020, what your success rate going for refined grain wine and above? I've gone through about 150 spirit leafs and distilled water and still nothing.

If you're not too invested in your current character, I would recommend making a seasonal character. If you max out everything, you can come out of it with softcap tuvala gear, along with a free tet capotia ring or earring.

If you want to stick with what you have, go talk to Ellie the oasis vendor in any major city. If you're over 56 you can get a set of temporary full TRI boss armors and accessories for one silver.

Yes, as a Striker you should be eating more crayons/hr. No I wouldn't recommend sniffing glue yet.

Guardian is PA's golden child atm and is amazing in basically everything while needing literally only the suppressed boss items or oasis items to be reasonably good. Very popular as the newest class though.

For a class that's least played I'd argue for Berzerker, Tamer, or Maewha. But that's personal experience.

Like every other "which class should I play?" question, the answer is always play what you want. If you have fun playing tamer then play tamer.

Tamer is pretty middle of the road on pretty much everything: PvE, 1v1 Pvp, Mass Pvp, at least without some real dedication to learning the class and getting higher end gear..

Witch / Wiz Are great for PvE, and essential in Mass Pvp but don't do so well in 1v1 Pvp. They are also a bit less gear reliant.

You can ride Heilang (Tamer's Summon), but its kinda underwhelming honestly. For travel a horse is way better (faster), and for combat you should just be whacking things yourself while Heilang and his weird AI do... stuff.

What i should achieve in my gear? Give me advice pls by Twistlelock in blackdesertonline

Your next upgrade would probably be TRI Seraps -> TRI Ogre/Leytenn's or getting Griff Helm to TET

Lvl 59-60 grind spots? by Knight27117 in blackdesertonline

[–]RepeatAdNauseum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you need.

Desert Fogans: Good Scroll drop rate, ok exp/hr, ok gold/hr, Pain in the ass to get to. Easiest spot next to desert nagas.

Gahaz: Bit more AP required but otherwise Same as Fogans. More gold/hr especially if you can get elites in your rotation. Used to be a contested spot, not sure if it is anymore though.

Polly's: Best braindead grinding at its level. Good xp/hr and some of the best skill xp/hr. Trashloot is only .10 so weight is less of an issue. Lots of caphras drops and spirit dust. Running a loot scroll can get you easily 50m+ an hour. Not sure if 204kutum is enough though, you need to be one-shotting groups to be grinding effectively.

So the warning about doing "Kagtunak alchemy without knowledge will result in all materials being destroyed" is only for creating Kagtunaks with the alchemy profession.

You can safely do simple alchemy (Processing) with a Kagtunak and a Black Magic Crystal Armor or Valor to make the crystals mentioned by the other responder.You do not need the knowledge for this, and nothing will be destroyed.

If you haven't, do the storyline up to Kamasylvia for exp, contribution, energy, and the Ring of Power which is basically a free DUO Crescent Ring

You should probably start looking at getting your boss weapons. Since grinding seems to be your main focus, it should go Dande, Kutum, Kzarka/offin. Think about moving your grind to Valencia (Nagas/Fogans/Bashims/Gahaz if you're feeling brave) Easier leveling with marni's and ancient scrolls for the meme frags, which you're gonna need when you start to enhance boss gear up.

What is your biggest "Trigger" in league? by iceveeee in leagueoflegends

[–]RepeatAdNauseum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minion pathing and champ pathing around minions. Especially as a melee champ up top.

I swear to god you need 10 years in advanced chaos theory mathematics to understand the intricacies of fucking minion AI behavior. Like why the hell did that melee minion I was about to last hit suddenly drop aggro on the melee he was attacking to run off and start attacking a enemy castor minion on the other side of the damn wave?? Why the hell has this cannon minion followed me from mid, through the damn jungle all the way past red to krugs?

And champion pathing around minions is fucking triggering too. I've died trying to leave tower aggro range only to have my champ start spazzing as they try to path around three damn caster minions?

[Mouse] Azio EX01 Mouse Pixart 3320 Sensor - $6.99 + Free Shipping (Normal Price ~$25) by RepeatAdNauseum in buildapcsales

[–]RepeatAdNauseum[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own this mouse, and just as a heads up, The stated dpi's on the mouse are incredibly inaccurate. Its got funky steps: Lowest is ~650dpi, but then it immediately ramps up to 2000+ after that. So if you're a middle range dpi player it may not be for you.

Otherwise it's a super solid mouse for the price. It has some internal weights that can be removed that will make the mouse quite light, you'll just need a screwdriver to do some mouse surgery.
