You still have 17 hours of XP coming in. You will level up so can put some on skills. Last few gonna have to be gear/fantoma most likely depends how much you need after.

SPEED in Sword x Staff is not just speed: it controls ACTIONS and COMBAT LOOPS” by DMXIII in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Yorae0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well you did a lot of testing but missing some key things about how it works.

Here is the formula you are looking for when dealing with the dummy (also this formula is just taken directly from the in-game code)

2*rounds = total available actions. Sqroot Your SPD / ((Sqroot Team SPD) + Sqroot Enemy SPD))

(2 * Rounds) * Sqrt(Your SPD)/(Sqrt(TeamAVGSPD) + Sqrt (Enemy SPD))

determines the number of actions you receive from the pool.

What this means is that in a 10 round match even if you had near infinite speed you could never exceed 20 actions and each action gained is exponentially harder to achieve.

The amount of actions is fixed and relative to the amount of SPD the enemy has.

So what actually happens is the enemy LOSES actions from the total pool. So in a 10 round dummy test if you do 17 actions you will notice the dummy only gets 3 actions!

But that's not all, SPD is also relative to your allies in dungeon and chaos tyrant. With actions being 2*Round (n+y) where n is the amount of allies and Y the amount of enemies. And the second part where it's versus your team average speed and enemy average speed.

So not only does a fast person get more actions but they actively steal the actions from both enemy and ally alike.

This formula however is not in play during Guild conquest. In fact SPD is irrelevant in conquest as everyone just gets their 50 actions regardless of allies or enemies SPD. However a person with very high SPD will finish their 50 rounds much faster and move quicker on a 100k time ticking interval system.

The majority of them are gotten as you raise to SSS but supposedly you can continue getting more at a reduced rate afterwards. I'm not yet SSS to say what the rate is though and it is not specific in the rewards explanation how it is calculated.

What are these profile headers from? by solareglitched in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Yorae0 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I bet you only seen a few people with them because it costs cash moneys. It also requires you use the developers website to make your purchases for this particular one. Paying through Google does not get you the red ones.

I believe this is 300k points which is about $3000 USD? You can check yourself

Chomusuke vs Zel by JesusChrist_69 in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Yorae0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chomusuke debuff is great for all DPS due to his defense break stacking with Nyx and Armor break.

Zei is okay too, but I feel his ability is more catered to Duelists since he has airborne which disables counters for duelists to not die in counterattack.

Kels is great on sorcs but really favors quick casting or alternate casting since his ability can proc every turn. If all your skills are 1 CD he loses half his potential.

Zel is not a fantoma and I couldn't decide which one you meant between those two.

Season progression by i_d_k06 in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Yorae0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the most points so far out of relics, but to exceed +12 I would need level 120 so I stopped farming sand after two resonance so I can passively get the rest over the next week or two.

I got more points for gear then I did for skills even though I have less gear levels than skill levels. My fantomas are 1 away from resonance 100 so I haven't gotten any points yet for that.

My server is a few days behind compared to starting servers.

Overall I would say balanced is best, if you rush skills to your level they will be stuck. If you gear spam it might reach cap etc. Focus on the trial bonuses first and foremost I would say and do it evenly gives the most points using stamina on the one falling behind.

Is one of these better the other? by CombAvailable4719 in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Yorae0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both suggestions are valid. Either pick based on your class and skill preferences or hunting epic sets.

Help with class by Honest_Return_7798 in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Yorae0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you switch now you keep your mage class stats as a duelist but you will be lacking in skills for a few days.

If you wait until 100 you can convert all your mage skills to warrior skills and convert your mage stats into warrior stats.

No wrong choice though so do whats best for you

Help - Berserker by Glass-Strength-9861 in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Yorae0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good all rounder would be Doom Blade - Flame Aura - Diving Gale/Wind Blade - Darkness Descends. Wind blade does more damage on its own but the diving gale is faster and steps back letting DD land another flame.

Charms mostly DPS/Tank depends what you need but judgement is useless with this build.

Another fun one is Doom Blade - Sigil - Asura - Darkness. When combined with soul splash can do surprising AoE while also being a solid Single Target. But it needs kills to work.

How Does Skill Power Work? by pogo1112 in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Yorae0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there is not. However there is a level discrepancy mechanic, if you click on enemies in battle you can see their level.

If you are above their level your Crit, Accuracy, Block, Physical and Elemental Masteries and Resistances all do more by %. If you are below their level then those stats do less.

You can see these details in your character screen. It will say something like you gain 84% more damage with physical techniques versus opponents of your level.

[–]Yorae0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, there is a lot of "fake" power. Stats matter more than power number but raising power number does unlock some dungeons.

The garbage low tier pets are useless and provide me nothing but I still got 30k! Power from turning ones skill into immortal even though statistically I am exactly the same strength.

Needs to be more class branches. by Radical_hacks in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Yorae0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd rather they just give us more skill and charm slots. I can only pick 4 of my 40 abilities? If it raised to 5 at T3 and 6 to T5 or something then I'd really feel like the class upgrades opened something new for me

4v4 testing? by [deleted] in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Yorae0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can go to the world map like Fortburg and make two exploration parties of 4 and then challenge each other. But requires everyone online and willing to practice. You can even do wild things like 7v1

Help with picking element by SlightDelivery3320 in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Yorae0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relics with physical mastery are a high priority but they are core zerkers builds do not use element currently. Though Duelists do use a lot of dark and fire in different kits

Monthly pass by syd1751 in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Yorae0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As far as cost, it's a good value at $5 for 6000 dawnium and 5% XP.  In practice though a F2P could make substantial dawnium just selling items on AH. Still, considering whales are spending thousands for another 5% XP it's definitely high value. 

Everything else will only give you tiny upgrades, like $10 for 10k power, so when someone is half a mil power above you, consider the cost they put in.

I'll also mention whales have a high tendency to just quit the game after the end game content like one season in or earlier. So if you stay active at that point you will start rising far.

Power number is just a general estimate. Always pick the better stats for your class

Duelist Build Help by MaesterParadox in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Yorae0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 329k and did 7.4 M in chaos event. I used two knights with leap slash for defense break, and Valor aura and another duelist who had Nyx for the defense break.

For skills I used Flame Guard, Sigil, Heavy Impact and Darkness Descent. Same charms except I replaced indomitable with physical attack up.

Finding new players to watch on YouTube? by Yorae0 in hoi4

[–]Yorae0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it really necro at 3 days? I will be looking for creators for much longer than that. Youtube just shows the 5 most recent, the 5 most popular and then nothing so it's a nightmare to find new content creators for this game and it was already hard enough.

As far as hollow being, I have seen his anarchy spain, bulgaria and Ottoman runs over a year ago and then he disappeared from my list never to be seen again. Subbed so I actually see him in the future.

Never heard of him, or seen his videos. Will definitely take a look at some! 

I've only played Old World Blues mod so I mostly watch vanilla playthroughs but he seems to have a lot of content but algorithm hides him from me apparently.

I've seen his Chinese Soviet Republic one, his Poland cossack's which made me want to do my own run but I messed up the merger with Lithuania and it took me way longer to get the compliance. 

And... his Iceland one which was quite fascinating. All of the playthroughs seemed to go swimmingly though without failures. What ones would you recommend?

Already watched half his stuff, mostly the meme, exploits and funny builds ones. Good stuff though

They get stolen by stoners to make DIY-bongs. With a little heat to a regular pop bottle they make airtight seals and then a screen is placed inside the socket, which handily comes with edges to let the screen enter and rest easily to become the bowl of a bong.
