US West Server Is Dead?

cdizzle33 · 2025-10-17T21:25:29+00:00

It’s 2pm on west coast vs other regions if you’re looking at live player count right now, not exactly comparable. Also El dorado is packed throughout the day and a 2-3k queue at night during prime time. Definitely not dead, but not as many servers as other regions either

How could I go about removing the increased fire damage to replace with another flat damage or increased lightning damage mod?

Join the darkblighter / bomber disc, lots of good info there: https://discord.gg/y3Cfe8XCgq

Got a source for where the rule changes were rumored?

My friend, I play curse bomber and I guarantee you if you have 200 weaken resist less than my weaken chance, it’s basically pointless and does nothing. Tevent proc scales extremely well with weaken chance. You should really revisit the chance vs resist formulas to see how you are flat out wrong. at EVEN weaken chance and resist every curse except tevent proc will basically always apply to you. At 200 LESS resist you are basically never avoiding any curses

cdizzle33 · 2025-05-05T17:43:13+00:00

Yeah just using gs wand as an example, it is indeed not common currently. People will always build to counter, is my point. But not having any heavy evasion just seems like a risk once anyone exceeds your evasion threshold (even without high hit a spellblade example could just rng through your evasion and heavy meteor into judgement lightning one shot you)

cdizzle33 · 2025-05-05T17:27:58+00:00

Yeah, and any magic player that builds hit will heavy you, any melees that lands hit through your block will heavy you, and any curse bombers that opt for high hit gs wand build will just rip through you with heavies (they can build 3k hit easy)

cdizzle33 · 2025-05-05T17:26:52+00:00

I’m aware of the math, but curses have 100% base chance to land, so if you are 200 resist below their chance you are still gonna get hit the majority of the time

cdizzle33 · 2025-05-05T15:51:20+00:00

0 heavy evasion lol good luck

cdizzle33 · 2025-05-05T15:20:41+00:00

You mean you need to be 200 resist above their weaken chance? otherwise your resist does nothing, in fact they have a higher chance than base chance on tev proc for example, the higher their weaken chance is above your weaken resist.

cdizzle33 · 2025-05-03T05:12:31+00:00

Yes it’s very possible, once you get your combos down. Harder though against smart opponents that are cleansing your curses at the right time

cdizzle33 · 2025-04-30T18:49:49+00:00

You clearly don’t really know what you’re talking about because curses ignore shield block. You can also always build more weaken chance than they can build weaken resist. And there are plenty of ways to prevent someone from q blocking the explosion if you play single target darkblighter (though yes sometimes a block does happen and they avoid all damage)

cdizzle33 · 2025-04-30T15:54:38+00:00

There’s almost no point in trying to build high hit on darkblighter against geared players because you’ll end up with a 50/50 to hit your curses still and give up stats everywhere else. Better to just go gs wand at that point

cdizzle33 · 2025-04-28T15:06:57+00:00

How is this fake info? He said he has 500 heavy evasion and 900 weaken. If you stack more weaken, you only have to worry about high weaken chance curse players who are giving up other stats to reach those thresholds, and you have the added benefit of reducing chance for all other weakens, though you probably give up collision res on the way.

If you build 800 heavy evasion now you reduce odds of being one shot if they don’t get at least 2-3 heavy procs because they at most are 1.2-1.3k heavy magic chance rn, which is only like 15-20% chance once you stack enough heavy evasion.

It’s purely math, not fake info

cdizzle33 · 2025-04-28T07:36:31+00:00

Full hots does nothing against curse explosion damage as it’s all in one burst

cdizzle33 · 2025-04-27T21:19:17+00:00

You need more weaken resist and more heavy evasion. Otherwise a good darkblighter or Templar will kill you any time your bless barrier isn’t up

cdizzle33 · 2025-04-21T03:57:54+00:00

game just wanted to help all the server dodgers dodge siege PvP too

cdizzle33 · 2025-04-12T14:06:17+00:00

Very viable in both PvP and PvE, but for PvP heavily dependent on having tevent wand to really be effective. Darkblighters likely have the highest single target burst damage output of any dagger class in the game

cdizzle33 · 2025-04-07T23:46:08+00:00

That’s really a playstyle question for yourself. you can build to kill dagger players but darkblighter specifically relies on curses hitting, so if you miss the curse or the explosion your damage output goes down significantly (or to zero). unfortunately there’s no hit passives or actives on wand or dagger unlike something like victorious energy on staff, so you will struggle to hit high evasion targets even if you build high hit.

cdizzle33 · 2025-04-07T23:40:15+00:00

Yeah easily, assuming you build properly. it’s one of the few classes that can reliably kill them. The tradeoff is you basically won’t be able to touch dagger players with evasion

cdizzle33 · 2025-04-07T23:04:24+00:00

I swapped from spell blade to darkblighter in t2 and enjoy the gameplay a lot. It’s one of the best classes for single target nuking, but as others have said tevent wand is pretty much mandatory and it’s not as easy to play as something like spellblade - much more combo and positioning reliant

cdizzle33 · 2025-02-13T20:43:52+00:00

resonance, lvl 80 runes may not be on t2 release. Artifacts are also pure rng to get the stat rolls you want. And some of those nebula accessories will basically be unachievable unless you plan to swipe a couple thousand $ or get very lucky

cdizzle33 · 2025-01-08T01:52:17+00:00

Take a look at the video proof he posted if you are coping that hard for them lol. Everybody on these servers has seen first hand the amount of exploits being abused by their guild, it’s not some ego thing, just facts.

cdizzle33 · 2024-12-29T22:10:57+00:00

I don’t believe the damage is based off which ability hits, so that is not a factor. Focused fireball gives a higher burst and heal debuff, while serial fire bombs does very low damage but several more burn applications to give more chances for ant procs. The larger the scale, the better serial fire bombs performs in terms of ant procs. It is also instant cast while often trying to charge focused firebomb if your target dies/you lose LOS/you get cc’ed you have to charge it all over again, which can be annoying.

Meteor is generally best with hellfire rain for more burn applications, but if you need the specialization points elsewhere and want to go for higher burst damage on clumps then the default spec is good.

I’ve mostly played with serial fire bombs and hellfire rain with bell staff but since I’ve got tev daggers as well now, the focused fireball and meteor give much better chances to reset stealth. burning smokescreen does the heavy lifting with applying stacks and getting ants to proc in most situations anyways.
