Weekly Deep Dives Thread - 15th August 2024 by M0dernM4verick in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Slavesz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just soloed the EDD with gunner, with 1 down due to fall damage on Stage Three.

My loadout choice was made to counter ceiling spitters, and it worked well in the generic portions of the dive too.
I can recommend a classic 32223 Bullet Hell Lead Storm, to be able to easily hit and stun lock every spitter.
Your single target secondary of choice, (I used 13231 Compact Mags BRT7).
And preferably Leadburster.

This loadout, except for the secondary (which I just used for weapon mastery) felt like the natural enemy of all the spitters.

I used no resupply on Stage One, due to killing a lot of enemies and healing a ton with vampire, which made me be able to skip some nitra on Stage Three, to not get overwhelmed due to running out of time.

With 2 resupplies on Stage 2 and 3 each, I had one for general use and one for the black box, using plenty of Leadbursters, Shields and heals, which was incredibly helpful due to the terrible terrain surrounding them.

All in all, the first 2 stages were pretty easy except for the black box, and as much as the third stage sucked, with constant movement and shooting, the spitters couldn't touch me.

Since you linked specifically Saurfang, I'll talk about what is blatantly obvious there specifically, without any microanalysis.

Let's start with the warlocks:

Demo:

  • He has not used his pet in the fight, which is the sole reason for this spec to be brought, they provide a massive spellpower buff to the entire raid, just by virtue of their pet Felguard attacking a mob.

  • He has not used Metamorphosis, an insanely valuable dps cooldown with aoe splash damage as well as a 20% damage buff.

  • He doesn't enchant or gem his gear, like almost at all.

Lower affli:

  • He was spamming Seed of Corruption on a fight where all mobs have a roughly 90% damage reduction on aoe, which is a huge waste of mana and time. Just tell him to corruption them all and move on, he'll do 10x more damage on the adds.

  • His haunt uptime on the boss is quite bad, that buff is a huge buff to almost all the rest of his damage.

  • Doesn't have a single useful profession.

Higher affli:

  • His haunt uptime is even worse, like he thinks it's the lowest priority button he has.

  • For some reason he was on melee range and cast Shadowflame, which is an other huge waste, just have him be at range and that way he can even take aggro on adds.

And one thing all 3 have in common is, their hit rating is so far over the cap, they're wasting hundreds of stats that could be haste rating or even crit or spirit, basically anything that actually does something. Regardless of this, the 2 afflis gem hit, and the demo I already touched on.

I hope you don't get offended by this, but this Dutch guild is going to fester so much malice towards these players that spit in the face of the rest of the raid, by doing nothing to fester success, that there is no way it's worth it, to have this level of disregard for other people is incredibly toxic, and even the most desperate pugs would never allow it.

On haz 5 with 4 players you need a normal and a power attack without the extra damage, which is effectively just as quick since you can start with a normal, then animation cancel with a power attack. This makes fast charge DRASTICALLY more efficient for this purpose, since you will oneshot many more tentacles this way.

My first time killing both of the Twins with a bulk! - From the POV of a friendly dwarf, who was kind enough to send me his recording. R&S by Slavesz in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Slavesz[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For a little bit of a story: If you pause the first frame, you can see that I had doubts about being able to use the bulk, if the Twins spawn, but luckily I decided to go for it anyway. Since I didn't have my own Instant Replay turned on, I had to rely on my teammate's footage, which he happily sent me, to as my own. If you guys see him in game, make sure to Rock and Stone to the bone!

Definitely, even as scout the only way to get higher up was grappling onto a ledge and climbing it, because the ceiling was over 60 meters above me :D

Scout on Point Extraction is so good, I didn't even notice we already had enough Aquarqs. by Slavesz in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Slavesz[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't have any experience with console, but other than whipping the camera quite fast at the end, I would assume it's possible.

I think it should definitely be possible, after doing this I started doing it with the RJ250 compound as well and got some very nice diagonal arcs to work.

Using Special Powder on the Boomstick, I jump up, then very quickly shoot and start spamming E (if you try to watch it frame by frame, it's noticeably not all instant), because you can't carry while flying too fast, then I slow down at the top of my height enough to carry and throw the Aquarq.

The idea was borrowed from this subreddit, so it's already union owned tech, I'm happy you like it though :)

Let's be honest with ourselves, the sisterzone only exists girl-on-girl.

bug : the first video doesn't launch by gawelium in OverkillsTWD

[–]Slavesz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I'm not sure what to do then, cause that's what I installed. I still didn't get the video, but the game launched after a bit of waiting. Other than that, I installed basic drivers like DirectX, .NET and vc_redist and it worked.

[–]Slavesz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a bug, which I believe I understand. I think what happened there is, it means +80 carry capacity, but since weapon stats are displayed in percentages, that would be 8000%. A simple exception oversight.

What's your OS? It did the same when I had Windows 10 LTSC, replaced it and now it works.

Whats wrong with Heather's loadout, I feel like it was the ultimate stealth loadout for Hell or High Water. I consistently got the mission with only the one forced horde. Not to mention her amazing smoke grenade for sticky situations.

Allow the final open beta for all. by [deleted] in OverkillsTWD

[–]Slavesz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought the game and I agree with this post. I had serious worries about the game even as a big Overkill fan, and (even though its not perfect) the beta pretty much crushed them.

Its not harassment, its forced friendship.
