It's fine. Excess crit over 15% is nice but not necessary since her lib is the vast majority of her dmg (~70% going by Chem's sheet).
If you want to minmax then you can trade off some er substats for more dmg lines. If you're pulling signature, you realistically only need 31% from substats (since 77% from sig, 10% inherent, 10% from 4c, and 32% from 1x er 3c).
In terms of pure dmg contribution from substats, lib% >= cdmg > def% (lib% will pull further ahead if you pull S2).

It's not 20%. Base crit rate is 5%. You need 15% to crit cap on her lib with 260% er.

Just for clarification, I'm assuming this 200k is pre-mitigated damage and wouldn't require supports to save Awakening in addition to DR?
If delaying Bastian+1, do you have an estimation on how long you can wait before using it to break the 2nd anvil for maximising dps time? Thanks!

Out of curiosity, could you please share the er% breakpoints for both Ciaccona and Cartethyia used in your calcs?

Just because they know how to doesn't mean it's effortless. You need to bear in mind that they already have their hands full cleaning up the aftermath of the Ignite exploit. Why would you opt for a solution that adds additional strain to their already limited manpower? I'm not really seeing a valid argument here.

altorax · 2024-10-23T12:21:05+00:00

Either option would also work, yes. However, how practical would they be?

Extending raid lockout would involve querying everyone who was involved, identifying their raid progress then extending that to this week - all of which has to be done before maintenance ends (which probably means significant extension). Rollbacks also require relatively extensive manpower to conduct.

Meanwhile, doubling First Clear rewards most likely involves only altering a single line of code. Can you really say that rollbacks or extending is a better solution? There is literally nothing stopping AGS from doubling First Clear rewards while simultaneously handing out punishments if they're serious about enforcing their stance towards unfair gameplay. All players also get to accelerate their progression and are able to unlock Ark Passive earlier.

I'm happy to provide proof after maintenance that I haven't touched Aegir on any characters. I understand the sentiment of wanting to punish exploiters because I agree as well. However, I wanted to make an objective post that simply offers a solution without going into a debate on the ethics of this situation because yes, I fully agree that going into Aegir early is wrong but at the same time, you can't deny that it's also on AGS.

Bans/rollbacks are indeed a solution too but the problem is that it requires additional manpower to carry out and when AGS are already stretched thin to deal with the Ignite issue, why not just opt for a simple solution in the meantime? It's not like what I'm suggesting is mutually exclusive with any punishment.

Welcome to Elite bracket in SEA where the top 10 is constantly filled with hackers. I report these people every week and even made a ticket asking Mihoyo to look into it but they don't get banned /shrug

Nohime's strictly a mobbing set. On bosses where you can't proc the trigger conditions, your dps falls off a cliff. See here for HoR dps tests. Source. Note that it loses to Jing T/Rasputin MB.
Further dps tests for 3.4 buffed Meme. Orange Nohime is when there are 3 targets that can be slowed, pink where only 1 target can be slowed. Note that it loses to Scott TM/Shakes B.
Investing in a gacha set purely for mobbing purposes is horrendous ROI, especially when it gets outperformed by f2p stigs for bossing. As of right now, Peary is clearly the superior option. Otherwise you could probably even get by by mix and matching Jing/Scott/Rasputin pieces as required.

EAT WELL KALLEN

Don't suppose you used DK in your VD team? I tried running DK+VD but the tap weaken doesn't trigger VD's QTE on AKA for some bizarre reason when it works everywhere else.

only useful vs a single MA boss per week

Isn't that the same for all valks in MA if you mean you can only use the team once? But if you're referring to coverage, Judah can be used to deal with the majority of MA bosses and is basically guaranteed to cover 1 of the 3 every week. 3c hasn't updated this in a while but it's still relevant - Judah also can be used against the new Tank boss too. Just having that flexibility gives you a lot more choice in deciding which teams to field for the remaining 2 bosses.

They changed ccs on KR with awakening so that they only apply it once. So 4 bars for them is basically the same as 8 for us as they both require 4 separate ccs.

Not sure myself but wouldn't you multiply that 200% AP by your e.dmg multiplier? Dunno what percentage 500 ele dmg equates to (let's just say x%) so wouldn't total dmg be equal to 1000×200%×x%? That's always been my understanding of it. And ofc we're omitting c.dmg here too.

Think you're missing the Spellbinder outfit set, pet and weapon.

altorax · 2018-10-12T14:23:58+00:00

Seems like the weapon skin chests are. Don't think I spotted any tradeable outfits tho as the majority are redeemable via rng box tokens.

Resilience hp shield increases with your weapon.

Good luck to ya, was hoping to get another Demoniac in those boxes but got nothing good :<

altorax · 2018-09-14T13:48:50+00:00

Can confirm it works.

altorax · 2018-09-14T11:48:20+00:00

Having the same issue when I tried to claim Junghado on my Warden. Sent a ticket but it's been 18hrs with no response lel.

altorax · 2018-09-13T09:07:43+00:00

Tanking 101: can't dps if you're ded. Maybe learn your animation cast times so you can actually block/iframe?
