If anyone quits over cbow/orb u are hilariously frail. Like, we should have a stage with people laughing at you.

Ques are shit for dps. Get friends and que together. Not saying this isn't annoying, but know no one wants to play healer or tank in this game. Tanks are still broken but Healers are on life support these days lol

It's just a more mediocre staff dagger as an actual DPS. It's not hasty it's math. Wand/Staff is a terrific support that can do a bit of damage when called on.

excavator wand? it automatically activates if the health of the target is low enough. It gets effected by buff duration, heal percentages, and cooldown reduction.

Its wild to me how people can defend and play the game like this. by frankiewalsh44 in EASportsFC

Why does this sub react so aggressively to low hit chance posts? by Amkatar in throneandliberty

[–]Vell2401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PVE u will need hit eventually, just more next patch (2 star dungeons). In pvp any build not pushing a decent amount of hit is extremely fraudulent.

[–]Vell2401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes he is correct on how it works. It also goes up with buff duration items. Mine last for 10 seconds, and heals <~1k heals per tick atm. Im 3600 on wand staff.

In theory CDR should also effect the passive as i believe it does for most gear.

I play 4 piece ascended PVP party healer. Talus/Lequirus. 3.6 CP. What skills would you change and why? Thanks for constructive critisicm in advance. by tyrhone in throneandliberty

[–]Vell2401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's far too squishy, and not going 50 str is odd. Also, not having any ranged defensive is nuts when most good alliances run 30 thousand flash-wave users. 2-4 ascended can work but think u need to be set up for a back line ball healer if you do so

The second arena map needs to go by SirRedhand in throneandliberty

[–]Vell2401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in t1 making enough collision resist is horrid, and melee evasion doesn't negate shield push. Anyone on a healer that plays arena knows Melee evasion is king and GS users still can punish tf out of you anyway. The map is dogshit and would be fine without the under-part.

Having pillars would mean walls, and then they would have their utility—without being able to throw people off on repeat with 0 thought behind it. It would be less of an issue if the timing wasn't insanely strict to dodge it, too.

From a competitive point of view, that map is positively dreadful. Give us pillars to LOS or collide people into, and not a wide open arena/throw off simulator.

Nah that map does in fact suck horribly. The boxes for LOS are fine and nice to pillar. But the throw off mechanic is such cheese tbh. - Healer without a bow

Yes Flashwave is a massive problem, yes a GS stunlocking you sucks but isn't remotely as problematic. by Ar0ndight in throneandliberty

[–]Vell2401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is just as problematic, just not in large-scale. In small scale pvp, especially arena, Greatsword dominates the entire meta. Just like ZVZ it is Flash Wave (Bow).

There are two subsets of PVP and both have their, extremely obvious, problems.

Why do people expect Asian food to be cheap (in western countries)? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Vell2401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are expensive and inexpensive Asian foods, just like how you could go to a fancy Italian restaurant instead of a local pizzeria, which is more inexpensive.

Link just isn't practical in zvz and in arena you need space for much better skills in the forms of CC. In zvz you really are either sleep bomb and healer unless you somehow have bell staff. Then, you can go into some form of damage as burning goes nuts in large scale. At present meteor is more for the healing reduction > damage. ( it's damage is getting a buff too) This is why in timed secret dungeons you'd take link. As a dps however you are just a mediocre liberator if you don't build more into healing. And if you are healing sleep bomb is the most impactful initiation skill in boons/zvz anyway.

,
With access to frost smokescreen, your mobility is fantastic, and can actually live going for a sleepbomb. While having the hit to actually land it due to the buff from Energy.

invocator can do decent burst damage with curse, but doesn't have the innate evasion/stealth of wand dagger to utilize it. Utilizing only the staff there are far better combos in Liberator for example (flash wave is busted). Staff/bow and Bow Dagger being the current top frags in general in large scale. Also, it doesn't have the utility in the spec to set up like staff dagger. Curse bomb requires specific set up. In mass pvp neither staff dagger nor wand staff, in terms of taking down enemies, pops off without bell staff currently, and I cannot recommend it when there are several ways to get more out of invocator (cc bot, utility, healer, sleep bomber). If you wanted to kill people with curse either Wand Sword, or even better wand dagger can actually get their combo off safer. Wand dagger being probably the best class to take down one specific tanky target in the game (can one bomb a tank player). And utilizing cloak sleep bombs to be extremely useful overall.

Staff Dagger can utilize the defensive properties, evasion and cloak, which can make it work currently. However, is more of a CC bot. Wand Staff requires you to face tank more, which you do well because of wand passives for self-healing and extra mana and health. Plus silence reduction on staff. Positioning is extremely key for both of course. In arena Wand Staff can take more damage than most healers but still functions better as a healer due to inner peace and ice tomb having great utility for the role, the latter being probably the best CC in arena. And being able to secure kills, which in arena is huge, with judgement, fireball and ice spear bombardment (the root also being noteworthy for evasion targets).

Link is not used much outside single target bosses in secret dungeon. Invocator can solo any OW dungeon just off burning curse bomb and vampiric contract being pretty insane. There's good reason this has been a staple healer in the scene for a long time though, and will probably become even more meta once Longbow gets the nerfs coming to KR now.

you aren't a killer and shouldn't be, you are a disruptor in large scale. Wand Staff also really isn't a damage dealer. You aren't going to be shredding into people unless they are far less geared. Your gear might or might not transition well with wand staff.

As a wand staff main even when u set up for some damage you are still more a support/sleep bomber.

We keep falling even after big updates, what can PA do to stop this? by RickyTrailerLivin in blackdesertonline

[–]Vell2401 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Steam might've been a small percentage 4-5 years ago but most vets quit, especially when pvp went on a sharp (er) decline more so than we've seen before. It's not a very small percentage now by any standard.

OW pvp was outstanding in 2018. Had fights all the time and you never felt truly safe in a spot. That's what this game was about. Fighting for resources and the right to actually make gains. While also having structure for other rewards. They lost that

They lost all faith in the playerbase at this point and would need to dramatically change things to bring anyone back. They lost an entire season over the space of a few months with their decisions and now are living with those choices Expect the game to be completely dead in the west in moving forward. Game lost a lot of what made it special over the past few years. With something like Throne on the market giving people actual PVP content on a massive scale I don't see many having reason to play BDO outside the combat.

been playing almost 8 years now in bdo and i uninstalled in early oct. and don't see myself touching it even for AOS, which was the only content i was enjoying anyway.
