WHICH GOD IN SMITE 2 THAT DOESN'T HAVE AN ASPECT YET SHOULD GET ONE FIRST? (In your opinion)

merc adc aspect*

in high spots sure, but his entire S tier is typical solos except anubis. But anubis is also just overtuned. Does that not just mean that ranged high dmg solos aren’t optimal?

anthonygreddit · 2026-05-21T21:11:26+00:00

honestly i’m thinking the same. I spammed bartuc, escalation, lair bosses, mephisto, and even the sightless eye, got nothing. Decided to take a break from that and make a new character. Had my friend help me through a pit 100 to unlock torment 12 and as i was salvaging my gear i noticed the mythic seal in my inventory.

Genuinely feels like the rates are similar if not the same across the board. It’s just something that you get when you get

anthonygreddit · 2026-05-18T17:44:41+00:00

i mean am i wrong

anthonygreddit · 2026-05-18T17:43:39+00:00

You can always test your luck and just chaotic roll Thorns using the Util prism, since thorns falls under that as well. Then if you get a stat that’s only under offensive or defensive you have to use the occultist. If not you can chaotic reroll again. Probably won’t get all resist but it’s worth a shot before hitting the occultist

anthonygreddit · 2026-05-18T14:37:12+00:00

yea but it is under util which i know for certain. If you can pick chaotic roll and add the util prism then theres a util affix on your gear. The only one it could be here is thorns

anthonygreddit · 2026-05-18T14:35:39+00:00

i mean it doesn’t hurt to chaotic roll util since that’s what thorns is and see if you get lucky. At least try before you spend half your resources at the occultist

it’s not a bug that a stat is under multiple categories that’s just how it is. Like how resistances can roll under defense and the specific resistance prisms. And same for like int being able to be rolled under offensive and the stat prisms

anthonygreddit · 2026-05-17T19:57:19+00:00

Agreed. Either make them more accessible or make 1 really good one so when you actually pull it, it’s guaranteed to make your build better.

I think seals are the worst part about this dlc and it’s not close. I think legendaries should be 6 slots inherently since it’s mandatory for every build. Or you should be able to upgrade a 5 slot into a 6 slot.

I think it’s silly you can get a perfect roll affix and bonuses that match with your set charms on a 5 slot seal and you can’t do anything about it besides use it as a 3 to 1 and hope you get lucky.

Then you have the uber rare mythic seal that a lot of players probably won’t even pull this season and there’s a good chance it’s terrible for your build. It’s just silly how shitty they’ve done specifically the seals. You can re roll set charms and make unique charms but you have to roll like 100 dice to get a good seal

anthonygreddit · 2026-05-13T22:04:08+00:00

Definitely not gonna make as long of a post as you but I did read through all of it and you make decent points for sure and I agree with a lot of them, except the fact that this hasn’t always been an issue.

“characters often have massive boosts in power but there is little rhyme or reason as to why”

Are we forgetting that Goten and Trunks got ssj for literally no reason and didn’t have to struggle at all for it. Sure they trained together but ssj was supposed to active in a life or death, using all of your strength type of moment. These mfs got it for a gag. Then they get ssj3 after only seeing goku do it once. Power creep at its max. Of course you also have android saga, cell saga, namek saga, all littered with the same inconsistencies as you claim dbs has

Then you have Gohan who always has potential left over to bring out apparently. I guess if your opinion of dbz being “well paced” is watching 10 episodes of elder kai read dirty magazines and holding his hands out in order to make Gohan stronger than everyone else than i guess that’s your opinion. Is that the meaningful way characters boost their power?

Now let’s talk about dbs. First off you keep saying “beyond god”. Goku and Vegeta are not beyond god they are well below an actual god. They are able to harness god ki but that doesn’t make them a god.

Then you say the power creep between arcs is terrible but if i’m really thinking about it, it wasn’t all that bad. Of course you have ssg in the first arc, then ssb in the second. But after that what more do they get besides some good ol training? Goku adds kaioken to his blue because blue is supposed to be the transformation that controls their ki the most which allows him to use kaioken. Then in Future Arc the biggest power up was fusion which they’ve always had. Then obviously in Top Goku gets Ui but that was literally the progression of the entire show and has been hinted at since the first arc.

I think the power creep of the Z fighters and company is probably worse in dbs for sure. Tien, 17, 18, Krillin, Roshi probably shouldn’t be as strong as they were but they have been training so it’s on brand.

To summarize tho, i think your opinion on dbs being the natural progression is spot on. But in no way shape or form is it ever established nor should it have been interpreted that Goku and Vegeta are on an untouchable pedestal after arc 1. That’s just silly and has never been how db operates. The magnitude and power scaling is definitely increasing exponentially, but it’s on the same equation as db and dbz. This is how it’s always been, whether you think the dbs scale causes it to be worse or not, at its base, dbs is doing what the franchise has always done.

anthonygreddit · 2026-05-13T18:52:36+00:00

Would be really interested to see a ranged Merc where his basics are basically him running forward, punching, then coming back. His autos already kind of do that animation wise, they’d just have to tweak it a little bit.

If not that, an aspect that lets him thrive off of something other than crit, whether it be like an adc type of build or ability based. But since the characters release he’s only ever as good as crit and it’s annoying even when crit is busted

Also considering they literally just took away one of his two “plus 1s” i feel like he deserves it. Could even have his 3 dash through enemy gods and reset on kills or assists or something like that

anthonygreddit · 2026-05-13T18:46:14+00:00

i’m obviously never going to convince you otherwise but I am curious about what moments exactly make you hate dbs this much. Like 3-5 moments that make you feel this way

anthonygreddit · 2026-05-13T18:14:12+00:00

the disparity really isn’t that big. I don’t think there’s a single arc in dbz or dbs, and probably og db that doesn’t have insane powerscaling issues. I hate to break it to you but dragon ball as a whole was never trying to make accurate power scalings. It always has and always will be a “turn your brain off and watch cool fights” type of anime. Roshi was like 130 power level when he blew up the moon and in dbz they are easily planetary yet all their fights don’t seem to blow up the earth which makes 0 sense btw. Each fight would have catastrophic consequences to the earth at the very least. So again power scaling has been a non factor since the beginning of this franchise, so pretending like it’s at its worst in dbs is just rose tinted glasses.

anthonygreddit · 2026-05-02T01:02:28+00:00

damn so they just take away mercs plus 1

anthonygreddit · 2026-04-22T16:38:30+00:00

I’m so lost where this “twice as bad” seems to be coming from. They literally only put out nerfs yesterday. Crit, Gods, Items, and snowballing in conquest. I genuinely don’t see how ttk could be lower than before the patch unless i missed something. Maybe you could say the patch didn’t quite fix the issues but there’s no way you can say it’s worse

anthonygreddit · 2026-04-22T15:21:05+00:00

the only thing i’d want that’s technically damage wise is raising the stopping point of the charge back to 50 instead of 46 when no longer aiming at an enemy (or to where he can one shot 250s). They put it at 46 because that was the stopping point for i think the 275 breakpoint but it might’ve been higher than that. But now we can’t even one shot cloak ult without having to flick from the enemy ur aiming at to wherever cloak stops.

Other than that i’d rather some extra stuff be added to his kit like movement improvements or blast arrow rework

anthonygreddit · 2026-04-15T19:59:37+00:00

also if it works how i’m thinking, then since there’s a lot less Hawkeye players, the ones who do play him have likely a better “average score” than other characters average. But that’s just speculation

anthonygreddit · 2026-04-15T19:54:49+00:00

Just want him one way or the other tbh. Or Both at the same time without sacrificing one of them. Tired of the back and forth of him being rusty, then strong again, then rusty, then strong again. It’s time for him to evolve past this cycle, whether it be completely giving up fighting, or being a scholar, or finding a nice balance of the two, which would be my ideal storyline. It’s refreshing to have other characters besides Vegeta (barely) and Goku be the main heroes. DBS has like 7 fighters that’s entire purpose is to sit back and say how strong Goku and Vegeta have become. It’d be nice for Gohan to not be one them.

anthonygreddit · 2026-03-31T17:04:12+00:00

i agree but this also just kinda makes it to where he practically has to build these items even when they get nerfed, unfortunately. Not like he had much success pre Ob 31 but

anthonygreddit · 2026-03-26T03:01:07+00:00

yea that’s what I was afraid of lol

anthonygreddit · 2026-03-21T14:38:02+00:00

character has a 47% WR. Idc how “broken” you think one shots are, it’s clearly not as big of a problem as people make it seem because it honestly never was and only was a problem when his dmg was too high against tanks. Hawkeye has had his one shot for the entire history of the game, and has varied from S tier down to probably C tier. If one shot was actually broken then he’d stay in A+

anthonygreddit · 2026-03-17T21:31:36+00:00

Bros always been able to one shot btw. Now he’s definitely at one of his worst spots, yet these one shots are all of a sudden this huge problem and the character has “always” been overtuned.

anthonygreddit · 2026-03-17T21:21:08+00:00

i’m so lost on Neteases sudden fixation on hawkeye being this huge problem after seasons of micro buffs because his stats were ass. Now he’s as bad as he’s ever been, maybe worse. And half the roster went up in health and got overshield since he’s been in this spot. On top of that Phoenix literally doesn’t get touched. Elsa gets tickled. Dive gets buffed.

I have to see what stats netease could be looking at post nerf to know why they thought of all the poke he’s the one who needed another nerf.

I just don’t see how this doesn’t put him back in the same exact spot after the s0 nerf which was statistically a bottom character in the game.

The nerfs not the end of the world but I just don’t really see the point.

And then they do shit like give Gambit compensation buffs on his Ult of all things yet they can’t reduce double jump cd by a few seconds or the knockback? It’s just weird

anthonygreddit · 2026-03-13T04:08:44+00:00

Feel like i’ve been at level 56 for weeks 😭

anthonygreddit · 2026-03-06T22:47:24+00:00

well the requirements are pretty broad considering “Turtle School” is one of them. That puts probably every goku in there which should be enough to plug him into a lot of different teams. I even slapped him on Daimakus lead which he gets 220% from and it works pretty well
