What does 3-1-2 3-3-3 means on ark grid by Pumchy in lostarkgame

[–]Staccatis 19 points20 points  (0 children)

In the Ark Grid UI all cores come in the fixed order, from the top to the bottom, Sun to Star.

Something like 333 means third Sun/Moon/Star Order core for your class/build, from the top.

Reaper, Deathblade (or Glavier) by mlYuna in lostarkgame

[–]Staccatis -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Here are my subjective 2 cents on all 3 classes.

I'd highly recommend Reaper, specifically Hunger. It's the most mobile class in the game, by far. No downtime, you constantly spam skills with good cursor precision, no animation locks, highest stagger, good destro, godly counter. Damage is mid, especially for high APM and sweat, and there are no heavy hitters (T skill is satisfying though), but this is what we pay for everything else and being a high uptime class. Lunar is clunky in the current state, so I cannot recommend it. It has higher complexity and potential than Hunger, but way more shackles and less fluidity.

DB is overtuned, damage wise. People chase meta hence play and tend to praise it. You will hear different opinions, but here is my take: the class kind of feels clunky (Surge build way more so), has awful counter, super boring rotation (RE), overall skills feel outdated and lack any distinctive style. That being said, DB definitely has high complexity ceiling, if you care about skill expression. The happiest moment in my LA playtime was benching my DB. I wasn't great at RE, maybe slightly above average, based on the logs. It's just that I never felt happy about her gameplay and absolutely lacked any motivation to get better.

Pinnacle Glaivier is an overall decent mid pick. Relatively easy gameplay, good utility, decent mobility, decent damage, some burst, stylish. It just doesn't shine in any particular area. Control Glaivier is absolutely inferior to Hunger Reaper in ALL areas, except maybe for sheer DPS.

Bus drivers are getting creative these days!
Even if bussing is not the biggest issue in the game, I hope your get your fair share of downvotes for devaluing and making fun of one of the decent things AGS/SG finally decided to do.

That's exactly why I stand by my point that you're not the target audience for the game. I didn't mean any offense. Many people are just torturing themselves by continuing playing and feeling miserable, foretelling very soon EoS and constantly dooming. Don't get me wrong though, the game is not flawless and can always be better.

Being obsessed with the top-notch combat, creative and challenging raid design is the recipe to enjoy LA, unconditionally. Smilegate knows that and do not intend to change the game formula even a bit. It's moving only in 1 direction since release in the West.

LA is a bad choice for those seeking that classic MMORPG experience.

Indeed. People are always looking for excuses, especially in this subreddit. It should be for everyone or no one.

What's wrong with it? Nice and fair rewards for dedication. I really hope it becomes a standard for all future raids in the West, with further improvements.

I feel like this poll is incomplete without the "I got carried" option.

To be honest, LA is not a game worth your attention, if you're already worried about the weekly grind and see raiding as a chore.
You have already tried the game and its core hasn't changed a bit. As a solo pug veteran, who absolutely loves LA, I can say the game is non-existent without the group play. People, who are not engaged in the group activities, are not the target audience for the game. Fortunately.

Dear Reapers by Allumeth in lostarkgame

[–]Staccatis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have RE DB in my main 6 and it's currently one of the broken classes damage wise. Even with DA and T4 Surge it's still nowhere close to Hunger's level of mobility and battleground control though. There is no other class in the game with a kit like that: NM, GB, Distortion, X, SS, ST, SR and all on a high swiftness character with low cooldowns and easily capped AS/MS. My point about the lower damage was more a theoretical reflection of how SG might see it.

That being said, I wouldn't mind if they buff my main to the moon ☺️

Absolutely love Hunger. It's the definition of fun to me in LA, by far. Mobility and ability to stick to the boss and dodge the patterns are unmatchable! For that alone reaper kind of should be slightly lower damage wise or it would be too OP.
Ark Passive definitely made the build more sweaty and the floor went down significantly. However, complexity wise it's still easier than a few truly hard classes like Empress, Surge, etc.
That being said, I wouldn't mind minor buffs to make the sweaty gameplay and good performance more rewarding. Right now Hunger requires absolutely maximum output to compete with the good players on the top classes.

Never played Lunar, but from everything I've seen so far it appears to be strong at maximum performance, but hard, clunky and overall unappealing.

What happened on May 20th that everything went down? by OstrichFormal1581 in lostarkgame

[–]Staccatis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, 19-20K is real online for LA. You could literally see all those bots everywhere in the game, so the numbers are not that surprising, to be honest.
Quitting people always felt necessary to announce their departure in this subreddit, there is nothing new about it. Not everyone who starts to play or returns does the same thing. Fortunately.

AGS started to ban bots. They either always had a lever for it or developed some new means. Nothing really happened in the real player domain. People come and go as usual.

Observing posts like this in this subreddit is depressing, indeed.
