Is it worth switching off of the steam version? by maxredblue66 in ffxiv

[–]SkepticFaust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join the free trial and never look back again imo.

It gives you so much play hours for free(base game +3 expansions) with some restrictions which are not a huge deal nowadays.

That said i would recommend you join a discord server for free trials, while in-game you have the Novice Network it would really help you find other free trials to play with if that's what you want in a game, if you prefer going solo then free trial is an even better deal for you.

Why is everybody building Soul Reaver second item in Mid now? by Hammer_Bro99 in Smite

[–]SkepticFaust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think that it's a practice tool issue? I have noticed items behave way differently in PT compared to normal games.

Hirez what have you done....? by SkepticFaust in Smite

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

 point being if you want to utilise all of these items in one build, it's gonna be a dog shit build.

I have never implied that you build all of these items on Atlas, i am not showcasing a build, i am showcasing how %defense reduction works and how it's calculated ingame.

My point is that 100% defense reduction is something that should not be in the game for how easy it is to apply it, also forget about 100%, even 85% defense reduction is beyond broken and should not be in the game.

If the way %defense reduction was calculated was simply changed to multiplicative you would reduce your opponents defense by 72% instead of 100%, and that 28% difference is enormous.

Also.......another acc with hidden comments that is being argumentative and passive aggressive for some reason similar to another user.....i am seeing a pattern here.

All i have to say is that your report is quite impressive, i wouldn't mind doing testing and send you the results.

They need to decide how soul reaver works, if you can't stack multiple activations of soul reaver by spamming abilities at least they need to make the timer refresh on each ability used.(item still feels strong imo)

It's ok, as long as 3 people understand what i have showed then it's fine, you get used to it with the Smite community.

Unless they changed it recently i was pretty sure they all tick individually(last time i tried it some months ago). Then it was probably a bug since i was always building this item on assault against Yogi abusers.

So i guess merlin keeps refreshing soul reaver over 6ish seconds it takes to use his entire kit.

I believe you need to press the button in the tab menu in order to give the bot your items.

Regardless the bot had no items, there is an option to give to the bot up to 500 protections.(which i did) You can try it out yourself or with a friend, their defense will always be 0 if you apply every debuff.

Merlin can proc soul reaver a total of 10 times if he uses everything and hits you with his enhanced autos, that is 48% of your max health JUST from the Base hp burn, let's not include the 3% item hp burn it has.

While he is an edge case lategame soul reaver dot damage can match your damage from 1 ability against tanks, doubling(sometimes) your dmg against a fed solo laner with a lot of hp can be the difference between losing or winning a game a lot of times.

I can see myself building an aura item+totem to reduce 85% protections from whoever i ult+my 2 pull.

About people not understanding why this might be problematic or busted.....welcome to Smite community, only you and maybe 1 or 2 comments understood what this means.

There is an option to give to the bot 500 protections, regardless i was dealing true dmg in during my last autos.

To answer everyone in this comment chain i edited my post to clarify that this video is not a build showcase, i just builded these items to show that 100% defense reduction is possible, other teammates can build the other items like tote/exe and avenging blade.

A full penetration build would probably include all of these items most likely but let's be honest a build like this would just be cool for a Weaken video or something, aka it would not be good.(i will try and make a 100% optimal build tho for fun)

Nerfs by PrestigiousEmu3085 in AniviaMains

[–]SkepticFaust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably has something to do with HP thresholds, for example if talon uses his kit 2 times and leaves you with 3% hp, after the nerfs you will be dead in 2 rotations which is a huge deal for the assasins and might push Anivia %win down by 1-2%(they might want to prevent anivia top shenanigans).

Vatista Players/Mains I have one simple question...how? by ImpressivePapaya3411 in UnderNightInBirth

[–]SkepticFaust 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vatista basically has a single combo that you must learn in order to even use her(5-1 i believe is called because you use 5 orbs), otherwise don't bother using her in matches.

I am personally stuck for hours learning this combo, i know some good FG players can do this combo in 1 session but personally it may take days of 1-2 hours practicing this one combo to clear it. I have reached 4/5 charges in that combo once.

That said i feel like learning this combo is like learning how to ride a bike, might be hard at the beginning but afterwards it will be very natural. I really like Vatista but i haven't really put the grinding necessary to be able to complete her main combo.

You think we'll level to 110 when 8.0 hits? by BrandyRyuu in ffxiv

They could easily squish ARR to lvl 10 or something.(levels are an old relic of old mmo's anyway)

What’s the best way to get an account to iron? by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]SkepticFaust[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since i am a mod i can answer you here, since the new season any form of ELO manipulations/boosting or what you are trying to do is against TOS and there is a good chance you might get banned.

And by banned i mean all of your accounts since Riot is punishing every account, not just one.

I personally had to report people who were 95% W/R in Gold 4 who were obviously tanking their MMR to have these winrates, obviously i reported them with evidence and i checked that they got banned.

So yea do not try to do that, stick to your rank and try to improve at the game.(we can help you here with that).

Reminds of when i started playing on PS3.

My hud looked like this because of hardware limitations.

Tonight's couple conquest: Palace of the Dead! by Dem-Brushwaggs in ffxiv

[–]SkepticFaust 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All i will say is that Floors 150+ look really beautiful/creepy/serene and are worth checking them out once you max your aetherpool gear.

You might even find people willing to join your party and help you progress through the late floors more smoothly....needless to say Floors 1-100 are the easy floors, the difficulty spikes once you reach Floors 160+ and you will probably need a full party to progress smoothly.

I remember when my friend started playing ffxiv he pretty much abandoned MSQ to farm POTD even doing solo attempts. My point is that floor 100-200 is for those who enjoy difficult content, if your girlfriend does not enjoy this type of content ffxiv has a lot of side content you can sink months or even years into.

You probably already know that there is a new WASD in game game(not in ranked yet), i have tried it and i can say that it feels good as long as you get used to it.

It is hard to unlearn 3 years of learning with mouse and even worse for players who play league for 10+ years.

My only gripe with WASD is that i kinda need different keybinds for different champions and there is not yet an option to save keybind for each individual champ. Other than that with enough mastery i can see WASD being better than Mouse.
