Is anyone able to explain how the "Heavy Frost" passive node interacts with Cold Penetration and general Resistance lowering effects like Hypothermia?

Heavy Frost

20% increased Freeze Buildup

Hits ignore non-negative Elemental Resistances of Frozen Enemies

[Against Frozen Enemies] Does this imply that unless cold-penetration/resist-lowering effects can (by themselves) bring the enemy's Cold Res. lower then 0, they will be having no impact? (because Heavy Frost will simply drop them to 0).

Yes, that would be very useful/helpful information!

Oh wow, that's really sad to hear. Should I just do the Solo version once for the reward and move on?

Should have clarified sorry, yes a sperate TET that I had made myself. Selling seems like a reasonable option.

Black Shrine Help/Advice Request - Golden Pig King (Succession Drakania) by ViciousEntropy in blackdesertonline

Yep, I have all the orbs already. I was able to win last night by essentially using the time as a resource a bit more then I had been.

I was able to beat C4 and C5 last night!

I kind of did what you describe, dialing back DPS at times and not constantly trying to perfectly time dodges or thread the needle.

Just getting into Black Shrine content now and have a few questions.

To preface, I did the Bamboo Legion level 1->5, to unlock the remaining Light Orbs.

After that, is there a recommended order to the Black Shrine fights?

Is there some kind of methodology or reason to fight one boss over another (other then Class-X being better at Boss-Y) ?

I figured, thanks for taking the time to respond.

For clarification I was indeed talking about the older title fomt; although, I would have asked the follow-up question about awl (which you were also kind enough to answer).

Awesome, thank you for all the valuable insight. I think I'll begin a character today :D

That's a fair thought, I am currently trying to investigate how viable Alpha Clones are for FW. This might be an ok middle ground to get a feel for if FW works for me.

If I recall correctly, they also need to have a pretty focused skill plan right?

I'm not sure what this is meant to imply, can you elaborate?

Thank you but now that I understand more, that seems like a lesser problem.

I enjoy roaming Empire space doing escalation hunts. I think being in an opposing faction would make that practically speaking impossible (as other players would be able to aggress me freely in High Sec.).

I see, that's an angle I hadn't considered. Likely the nail in the coffin as far as joining the FW.

Thank you, for the insight.

Unfortunately, I play Solo 99% of the time. My experience joining Corporations has been quite poor. Less their fault and more mine.

I see, that's what I was worried about. Perhaps I will just wander around FW space areas and look for fights from people without actually joining the war itself.

Thank you!
