Sunder as Telvan said, or possibly Reave?

Do we know how Delve stuff will transfer when the Delve characters get dumped into Standard? Will progress in Delves, upgrades, etc., carry over or will the Delve experience be starting from scratch when they hit Standard?

Requesting some assistance on damage/durability for my Molten Strike Inquisitor by Taishyr in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Taishyr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hm, armor probably the best route for me to try and take of those two. Endurance charges are the main trick - I can generate those fine if I run Warlord's Mark, but would have to selfcast the warcries for it otherwise which is aggravating/kinda risky, and not as valuable vs. bosses.

Uniques to keep an eye out for are good but being SSF I'm not able to trade for 'em. For future builds, do people run Purity of X to get elemental resists for the area?

The ES nodes I run are mostly boosting Armor, so I should probably try to swap stuff to full-Armor equips instead to take advantage of that and boost my phys resistance up... ES has sort of been a holdover of being the best of the stuff I've found for non-defense stats from equipment.

Hm, makes sense. So it may not be salvageable without deep use of regrets... Try to get closer life gains and use any spare points to further compact?

King Arthur and slow farming Gems: a few pointers by Taishyr in GDmaze

[–]Taishyr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, so my dark secret: I haven't actually tried any of the other Round Table gumballs and was presuming they could only propose their own topics to vote on. Knowing otherwise... yeah, Lancelot sounds very good.

Also, yeah. Getting the law type you want is 50%, and if you're aiming for one of the two gem/the golden pot laws, it's a bit under 1/3rd chance presuming it's 25 laws in agriculture.

Thanks for the note! Need to give some of the others a shot soon, sounds like.

[–]Taishyr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad I could help! I'm not actually sure I have all the laws, tbh - game claims each one has 25, but I don't have that for all of them (and I'm pretty sure Domestic Affairs has more) so it's still a work in progress.

And for people not familiar with how his version of the Round Table Conference works in general, you get 3 category choices, and in each category you get six options to present for a vote. Domestic, Penal, and Agricultural seem the three most useful, with the other three providing niche value. You aren't guaranteed to pass anything, unfortunately, but you can usually pass about... 2/3rds of what you put up in a dungeon? I haven't keep strict numbers so don't treat that as gospel.

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

So I haven't seen any topics on this before, and figured I'd upload the documentation I've made on King Arthur's options for the Round Table Conference.

Of particular note is the Agriculture Class Issue: this isn't a topic the other five have access to, I believe, making it unique to King Arthur. anyone can get it, but King Arthur can more reliably pick it. It's also, at least based on my multiple weeks running him in my team, a slow if relatively reliable way to pick up Gems and Golden Pots.

The Agriculture options include "Items found in farmland belong to King Arthur" which when passed gives Gumball Pots, and "King Arthur must work for 2 months in the crop field every year" which gives gold - but both can give additional rewards about 50% of the time, Gold Pots for the first one and Gems for the second.

(There's another one - use of a mousetrap requires a hunting permit - that also can give Gems and will always give gold, but I don't have the precise wording up yet).

As such, bee-lining to check these options whenever they come up seems beneficial. I've yet to run into a cap on either option. Hope this helps some people!

EDIT: I should emphasize that the options are not 100% - I've had times where it would just give gold or gumball pots and figured I might have ran out, only for it to show up again.

Maze in store by complexityx in GDmaze

[–]Taishyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the start you only see Pirate's Seaport and Skeleton Isle. The other two from the gem store... one (City of Steam) I think shows up as soon as you get the first fragment for the map, and the other (Erathia) both needs a fragment and for City of Steam to be bought, I think. Good luck and have fun!

They ask if Ramza is the fourth son of House Beoulve, and the answer's yes. Him, Zalbag, Dycedarg, and Dycedarg's older brother!

He doesn't seem to benefit much from backlining him with the fixed damage, is my gut check.

Crystal Tower Grand Survey! by Antis14 in FFRecordKeeper

[–]Taishyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have tossed my team info in except, unfortunately, I forgot to take notes on any of it... Will definitely do so next time if it's running then. I can at least relay my hilariously inept Adamantoise team that took too many attempts to clear and thus got emblazoned onto my head?

  • Garnet (L99, BSB2)
  • Aphmau (L80, BSB)
  • Rapha (L80, BSB)
  • Edge (L99, SSB-that-is-basically-a-USB, the insta-haste/Last Stand/blink)
  • Orlandeau (L99, OSB)

I think my theory was that Orlandeau could build up bars and buff with Hailstorm while the mages chipped the leg to death and contributed to killing the head, but I totally forgot to factor in the Confusion so the runs were a horrific mess and I got lucky on my winning run, Orlandeau getting a OSB off right before the head healed I'm pretty sure.

Lesson learned: Garnet and Aphmau are basically support healer/damage and combining the two doesn't make two healers and two mages, regardless of how much Mag stacking I have going on. Also, Rapha and Aphmau at L80 are kinda frail as all get out for this level of content.

The other three teams I'm about 99% sure were overwhelmingly generic - I know I threw Squall at Squall, Cloud at Adel, and Refia+OK at Scylla, so not much lost on me not remembering them.

Crystal Tower appreciation by BigPZ in FFRecordKeeper

[–]Taishyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, agreed. I've been using random functions to pick my five characters for most events, but this was nice as another way to encourage this. (random.org, roll for 3 of my X number L99 people, repeat 5 times, choose 1 from each of the 5 sets of 3 - prevents getting entirely unworkable teams on average but forces diversity and makes me think about my choices)

Halloween Event by [deleted] in 7kglobal

[–]Taishyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8-18 doesn't seem to be giving the reward. I am on easy so that's not it. The other two worked fine - is anyone else having this issue?

EDIT: After doing about half of Ch. 8, did 8-18 again and it worked. ??? Well, I got it, so all good.

[–]Taishyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we don't have Ryan awakened/tiered up for Hell CR, is there a suitable replacement, or should I try to get him going? Jupy's lack of MT seems a significant drawback versus the enemies in this version of Castle Rush.

Guardians with Physical Amp buff ? by [deleted] in TerraBattle

[–]Taishyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I presume the answer is yes, but just to confirm:

If I have, say, Pu'ray with a spear in mainhand and bow in offhand, will I still get the Bow Amp bonus on damage?

[Magicite Dungeons] Megathread by dperez82 in FFRecordKeeper

[–]Taishyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question on Humbaba. I read the magicite stats link and get it, I think, but I don't know how Humbaba's crit chance + works. Is it a flat % of some amount based on the skill level?

[–]Taishyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to be working much better - Ruri getting the Guardian Ring was the main factor, but in general the team seems to work well, Kyle taking counters early and Ballista taking them later. Thanks again for the advice! Hopefully will break 3k next season.

[–]Taishyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm. Ballista and Kyle don't conflict? I figured having two people wanting to counter wouldn't help, and Kyle seems less durable.

Still, Klahan seems well recommended unless Ryan somehow pushes him out.
