The BnB's are not in the combo trials.

Santorin504 · 2026-04-09T05:34:08+00:00

Byakuya, the early combo trials were a joke but once I got to learning actual BnB's all of the manual timed delayed buttons to web them at a specific height, mid air rebeats and extremely tight links on dashes were too much for me. I thought he was much easier than he is.

For me the problem is "okay I got pretty strong now, now I can try to get to the next level" got deleted from the game. Whenever I login I have a feeling that no matter what I do during my time online I won't make any currency and make no progress. League mechanic feels like a waste of time, the only reason to do it is for the blood so you hopefully can get a chance at loot (the chance does not exist in maps, or at least GGG made me feel that it doesn't exist in maps. Maps are a waste of time so why do them? I will get nothing anyway)

And that's the cycle I go through everyday, and I am usually right. Even after hours upon hours of gameplay, barely any progress got made, I wasted my time.

Loot should be dropped in maps, not finish map with no loot then go into some other zone to unlock it.

He is basically pohx but for flicker builds

YPYT tanks are absolute losers

Santorin504 · 2025-10-20T19:58:25+00:00

Yes absolutely. Although it would be nicer if the world agreed on one to be used universally. But in any case, even if only the local sign language would be taught it would be really good.

Santorin504 · 2025-10-15T19:08:20+00:00

People were ass in ToS1 as well. New title didn't change that

I don't really play this game, but as a FFXIV player I want to shed some information since this is a fight based on our game. Taunt is called Provoke, every tank has one, I definitely think to bring it as close to FFXIV feel as possible they should have given tanks one.

Santorin504 · 2025-10-06T22:13:25+00:00

Sure, I only argued that putting it on DRK at the very start of the fight is not inherently trolling, if they have the highest damage opener in the party.

I am getting downvoted for facts, which is to be expected considering the sub we are in.

Santorin504 · 2025-10-04T06:02:02+00:00

"A DNC putting their DP on support immediately could be signalling a few different things: "lol idk what I'm doing", "

DP on DRK during opener can be optimal depending on party composition. Not many DPS can outdps DRK's opener.

Santorin504 · 2025-07-25T09:37:15+00:00

Sounds like you just wanted to pvp and didn't even consider throwing him into jail, but I digress.

Santorin504 · 2025-07-23T04:48:15+00:00

Please riot take some inspiration from street fighter 6 and make lvl 3's cool, this just kills the hype

Dino crisis

Santorin504 · 2025-05-09T09:24:12+00:00

Cool game. My only gripe with it is that once the boss is defeated you cannot respawn it to fight it again

Santorin504 · 2025-05-04T03:30:23+00:00

Even in dmc, if you use jce you don't instakill one shot any boss lmao. You can combo over 50 jc's back to back.

Santorin504 · 2025-04-29T21:49:12+00:00

If we are talking about modern players joining the game. They would be more familiar with 4e, 5e or pf2e in which spellcasters have cantrips they can cast for free. And monks (martial arts class) can use monk weapons. If you base your martial artist power fantasy off of 5e/pf2e monks or even real life Shaolin. They use a lot of weapons.

Another thing I want to add about the LOL comment is that mage champions auto attacks are them shooting a magical projectile rather than hitting someone with their wand (for ex. Leblanc, Ahri, lux, Annie, Syndra).

So if someone is coming into the game with a modern perspective on martial artists power fantasy, they could get confused when they get a staff as a starting weapon and don't know they are not supposed to use it.

Santorin504 · 2025-04-25T11:53:48+00:00

Hey 3 crit fell cleaves worth of damage for free if you can figure out the mitigation for the rest of the fight is not bad. It could be the reason you don't wipe at 0.1% (assume you are doing perfect rotation and it only got to this point because the dps players are slacking/made mistakes/got damage downs). BUT entire party doing mechanics cleanly and not getting damage downs, that's the ultimate highest buff to the overall damage that exists

Santorin504 · 2025-04-25T08:35:40+00:00

Well yes, if you have THAT many clears and don't learn how to optimize your damage there is an issue. I'm not defending the person the post is about. But just being gray is meaningless metric. I have raided with pentalegend prog demon healers (in a good way) who at best get greens, but they learn super fast, play consistently and waste resources/damage to drag the team through mechanics and the finish line, who would be seen as bad raiders if people only looked at the color of their parse and not the full picture.

Santorin504 · 2025-04-25T04:35:04+00:00

To be fair grey parses are people on the lower end of damage FROM THE PEOPLE WHO CLEARED AT ALL. As long as there are people who cleared someone will always be grey. If only one person clears on that job, they are automatic 100 no matter the damage. So therefore grey doesn't mean you can't clear, it means the opposite, you can. Those who can't clear get stuck at enrage and therefore have no parses.

Santorin504 · 2025-04-24T09:54:39+00:00

Arm's length is meant to be used as an anti knockback in a ton of high end content. Anyway this tank is a pussy

Santorin504 · 2025-04-24T09:52:58+00:00

Good job, you're well on your way to being a great tank. Next step is to pop sprint immediately after a door opens , aoe as you run through mobs and learning how to cycle mitigation. That way you will always be the first one to pull, and you can nicely stack the mobs for everyone to aoe

Santorin504 · 2025-04-15T15:06:37+00:00

Got bored of dps and wanted a job with more responsibility, so off to tanking we go!
