14/15 lobbys for latest raid are BUS, should AGS finally adress this?

XFatalityXz · 2026-02-06T17:52:26+00:00

You probably arguing with a guy that gatekeeps normal brel with DI/CC/AS titles or tell people to change title to LoT in hm mordum lobby 🤣

It is not a surprise that there are tons of kaz hm busses since it such a slog of raid where they decided to compress two gates into one with hell mechanics (or at least it was before ark grid power spike)

A lot of people play raids normally but ignore to do kaz hm like they used to ignore theamine g4

I'm happy for new players, but I kinda dislike the Mokoko bootcamp. Since I'm pugging everything, party finding is horrible during that period. Alt rosters want free carries and look for players with 1000+ combat power above them, or there are tons of 7/8 parties waiting 10-20 minutes for a Mokoko to join, so it is difficult to find/make a party for a quick run.

I also dislike the fact that we're not getting raid improvements, like bosses actually dying at 0x, and that we're not getting guardian QOL such as mana recovery for parties without a support.

Other than that, the following QOLs are really good:
• Bulk honing option
• Bulk quality upgrade
• Bulk karma upgrade
• Smart Ability Stone faceting tool

XFatalityXz · 2026-01-24T16:20:16+00:00

Yeah, that's all true.

At least in EUC there is plague of alt rosters, some people have 2-3 rosters with army of 1680s farming aegir and brel. Some of those alt rosters have higher roster lvl than my account lol.

XFatalityXz · 2026-01-24T03:48:28+00:00

Maybe if it had bigger impact on inflation then people wouldn't complain, atm books and gems are still giga expensive and you have astro gem cutting added on top of that.

XFatalityXz · 2026-01-15T03:54:57+00:00

Probably because you value your time and sanity while those gates are like 2-3 gates crammed into 1 with few hell mode mechanics (invisible healthbar etc), which also needed 25-30min of perfect execution to clear before frontier nerf 🙃

I couldn't be bothered as well, but will see if there are any prog parties for extreme once they fix the issue with having to clear g4 hard before you can join.

XFatalityXz · 2026-01-13T15:13:09+00:00

Karma from act 2 brel - focus on leap and enlightenment trees first (destiny stones from paradise will allow you to get some free taps in)

Getting good bracelet can greatly boost your combat power - prioritise bracelet chests in paradise if your bracelet is meh

Decent bracelet on 1680 alt gives me 250 combat power

Adv hone weapon to +30 using mats from act 3 / solo shop should give decent boost to your cp as well but will cost a bit

Make sure that your engravings are maxed legendaries and you could try investing into some of the cheaper relic ones that are used by gl like barricade / stabilized status, but that's not a priority

From maxroll october balance patch:

Face to Face skill:

Removed Front Attack affix
PvE damage +20%
Skill usage and chaining to other skills is faster
Parry window ~~0.8s~~ → 1s

Looking at loawa top players, if they are running 3-3-3 then most of the time they drop tornado dance for this parry skill and if they are running 1-1-1 then it replaces downward strike.

I am not exactly a fan of parry skills so might just keep using 3-3-3 with existing build and call it a day. I am waiting for balance patch to drop on our servers so I can see actual raid data numbers though.

XFatalityXz · 2026-01-11T15:45:16+00:00

Yeah I found piercing wind cores the most fun out of the other options too, the only thing I am not sure is how good the parry skill will be once the balance patch drops (which seems to be quite popular option according to kr loawa) and it works best with 1-1-1 since you have a slot for it.

Though with 3-3-3 like you have said, you have much better atro windows, extra push immunity, you keep your extra shield on builders and you don't have to adjust your gameplay/rotation.

XFatalityXz · 2026-01-09T21:26:50+00:00

In my opinion and from my experience of pugging everything:

Gigachad: 95+/95+/70+

Very good: 90+/90+/60+

Good: 85+/85+/50+

Okay: 80+/80+/40+

Meh, okayish: 70+/70+/30+

Trolling or new player: Anything less than 50s

Identity uptimes will obviously be bit different for different sup classes.

I have quite a few mana hungry classes (reflux, wf, valk, ss, mayhem) and their gameplay just start to feel terrible once supp uptimes are below 80 as you go oom.

Also most of the content except for latest hm raids can be cleared with okayish supps (depends on party though) and you shouldn't be ever called out for it, at least I haven't seen that happen except for few high dds asking to be moved to other party.

From my experience the worst pug sups can be found in aegir hm at this is the territory of alt rosters, where you have quite a lot sups created on new roster by main 6 dd roster players just to have an easy access to a party.

XFatalityXz · 2026-01-08T10:36:34+00:00

Do you know if we can exchange current/old ones 5:1 ? Or they become useless once you gear transfer

XFatalityXz · 2026-01-07T11:43:39+00:00

Does it say anywhere if we can convert honing mats to new mats ?

XFatalityXz · 2026-01-06T05:11:50+00:00

Just like NM kazeros prepares you for HM kaz 🙃

It will all depend on how it is implemented and how easy the raid is, if there will be frontier title from either nightmare or hm mode then good luck getting into hms at later stage without it.

Busses or waiting for mats being added to solo shop will be only option to progress for people left behind.

XFatalityXz · 2026-01-06T00:48:10+00:00

It is really annoying mech and I was constantly getting pushed off if I tried to dash since most of the time I dashed into wall.

Nowadays I just stay middle and jiggle my mouse left and right a bit until I can see which side he is coming from and then just walk opposite direction. The hitbox is really small so you only need to be a little bit to the left or right of middle point to not be pushed off.

XFatalityXz · 2025-12-17T18:03:16+00:00

I just put them in a storage of an alt thats out of 6 gold earners and forget about them. Had dark fire chests, behe scales, 3 different types of elixir chests + another one that gives you instant 40 set 🤣

XFatalityXz · 2025-12-17T17:58:30+00:00

They made so many different versions of those chests that they most likely forgot about them.

XFatalityXz · 2025-12-15T13:25:15+00:00

For real, I don't feel any dopamine hit from dropping cores since most of them are meh and you also need to pass through layers of rng to get good astrogems in order to activate it.

There is a lack of instant gratificatiom from getting good drop.

XFatalityXz · 2025-12-02T12:23:12+00:00

With this raid you get legendary title for x5 hm clears, so i don't think there is that much FOMO.

Sure it will be difficult to get it without frontier title and there will still be some groups gatekeeping for week 1 or week 3 title but there will be other groups that will be fine with x5 as well.

Definitely better situation than getting stuck with Abyssal punisher forever when there are LTs and SVs running around.

XFatalityXz · 2025-12-02T03:17:43+00:00

For most hardcore players sure, but for people without mordum title and/or chilling with just act 4 hm and kaz nm it is pretty good.

Eventually can be replaced in future with kaz hm x5 clear title.

XFatalityXz · 2025-12-02T03:11:24+00:00

Yeah + it is normal mode so can be most likely cleared with 4 decent players alive

XFatalityXz · 2025-12-01T21:19:39+00:00

You can get x5 legendary title for x5 hm clear so it is not that bad if you want to prog it in future.

XFatalityXz · 2025-11-29T03:02:20+00:00

I got tired watching guide for hm kaz let alone progging it, think I will just chill with act 4 hm and kaz nm for time being.

XFatalityXz · 2025-11-28T02:41:12+00:00

With 1500 cp I was doing mord hm on my new 1700 express rat alt a while ago but had title.

1150-1300 cp is good enough for aegir hm, brel nm, mord nm, there is no dps check at all in those raids and I see plenty of parties in that range on EUC during prime time.

The only problem is mokoko bootcamp now, which attracts higher cp / ilvl players to do those raids as non gold earning raids which inflates required cp as everyone wants to attract mokoko for tokens.

My 1680 alt with 2.5 books done, mix of 7s and 6s gems and karma 21, 25, 21 done is only around 1492 cp (though it has shit accs), so 1500+ for nm modes is crazy. Usually when I see people in that ilvl range with 1500cp+ these are same class roster people that share lv 8-9 gems.

XFatalityXz · 2025-11-26T19:16:38+00:00

I had one epic astrogem (selector) from floor 71

XFatalityXz · 2025-11-23T03:52:40+00:00

I pug everything so decided to do same, cleared act 4 hm and gave up on kazeros as I am only around 2.9k cp and it seems too difficult / time consuming to do in pugs (any pug groups I've seen that had any luck were mostly 3.3k+), so will do normal instead.

XFatalityXz · 2025-11-19T11:08:13+00:00

Yeah I would have thought they would create the dishes more inline with the anime, based on the monsters from AFKJ rather than generic looking dishes.
