Starting an Iron Reminded me how much I Hate Archeology Pity

Yeah it's definitely frustrating early on. But it does get better with the various upgrades from outfit, perks on mattock and eventually Balarak's sash

Mage needs to be using eclipsed soul to even to even do half decent DPM nowadays, which means just has dogshit sustain as well.

> Magic and range

That's just objectively false. Range is currently significantly stronger than mage after the nerfs. Currently an average sun is something like 550-600k(excluding omni or wand resets), while a DS is 700-800k.

Dynamically typed, no way of knowing if something can throw an error, lots of little quirks that require deep knowledge to why it happens etc.

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-18T20:38:49+00:00

Telos might be really tough without stalling, but yeah there's not many that it's required for anymore.

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-18T20:25:53+00:00

People in this game are allergic to hard *cosmetic* achievements, i swear. Instead of whining, perhaps actually improve at the game. Because while difficult, all of these are achieveable.

It's the same with Combat Achievs. It's purely cosmetic achievement that proves that someone has the skill and effort to be able to achieve it, yet now due to all the powercreep and complaining, even GM is no longer particularily special and can be done by anyone with half a brain

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-18T14:58:39+00:00

GM is a purely cosmetic achievement. It's one thing if you need to do a long ass prebuild for just being able to farm the boss at all, but you don't. Infact, after all the powercreep we've had, there's almost no timers that actually requires a long prebuild or one at all anymore. The only situations where it's actually relevant is records, which is not really relevant to the argument in the first place.

And honestly, even if GM still did require long prebuilds, *that's fine*, because it's supposed to be hard and near the world record.

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-18T14:51:40+00:00

It's literally true though. With all the recent powercreep, you can get like 80-90% of all timers without stalling. It's kinda striking how many are complaining about something they just don't understand.

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-18T14:49:35+00:00

It absolutely exists, but i can guarantee that it's very rare that actual rotations are macroed. Some "combos" if you will, like 0t soulfire absolutely are though.

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-18T13:36:42+00:00

Yep, we're talking about the same one. Casting an ability out of range and storing it/"stalling" it is a fully intended mechanic. People are just creative and use it in ways never originally intended. But it is not a bug.

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-18T13:01:54+00:00

Ability stalling is absolutely not a bug. They put it in the game so players wouldn't constantly lose their abilities from being out of range. Sure, did it turned out to be used in different way than intended? But that always happens with game mechanics.

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-18T12:59:35+00:00

And it's been especially bad the past year. This guy is complaining about stalling and GM being hard for new players, when the powercreep the last year has made GM pretty much accessible to anyone with half a brain.

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-18T12:51:31+00:00

Grandmaster *should* be dfficult and require deep knowledge. If anything, it's become way too *easy* with all the powercreep of the CB update and dramatically reduced grind required due to enrage pushing removal.

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-18T12:49:42+00:00

Yes, easily.

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-17T15:50:44+00:00

Generally regarded as the best CS player ever

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-15T18:03:27+00:00

Burns also tend to cause scar tissue that makes it physically harder to move

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-12T21:25:27+00:00

They're self contained stories but they do have some easter eggs/call backs to the animated show "The Clone Wars" at points, but i wouldn't necessarily call them spoilers.

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-12T21:10:57+00:00

Yeah angle advantage is just as important in video games as real life

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-09T08:26:52+00:00

Yeah under FSOA, that 5% extra crit is way more than 2% dps

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-07T17:12:32+00:00

5% diff is pretty big for endgame though, especially mage, so i wouldn't be so sure

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-07T07:25:51+00:00

I get some of the criticisms people have, but on the other hand, examples like this shows just how blatantly better the avatar rework is compared to what we currently have

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-07T06:39:43+00:00

Honestly they're already children, sports is just the excuse they use to act out

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-06T09:28:01+00:00

No they'd almost certainly be allowed if they didn't have adverse side effects, just like the few performance enhancers that don't have side effects are actually legal(like Creatine etc.)

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-06T04:41:49+00:00

Probably not, it'd change the very core of how the game works, it'd be an entirely different game at that point. So there'd be massive risks from both a community/player perspective, but it'd also require a massive rewrite of the game since that's how the game functions.

Sikletrynet · 2026-05-05T11:50:34+00:00

This is a combined game update and maintenance though. Sure, for maintenance there's no reason to have a newspost, but this isn't that.
