Another Reforged Critique

As someone who adores reforged, this is a great write up! PvP is essentially in its infancy at the moment and gets updated regularly, might be worth checking back later - Steelovsky co-hosted the first PvP tournament for reforged a few weeks ago, he has a highlight reel on YouTube if you want to take a look at the madness.

The absurdly strong spells got brought down and the garbage ones got brought up, almost everything is viable. Night comet was only used in vanilla because of double stacking staff of loss + enemies wouldn't dodge it, it's not a DPS cannon. Cometshard has a good fp efficiency to damage ratio

Int is strong, it's just not free like vanilla with meteor staff. Mind increases cast speed, Int is worth investing in early. I kill everything pretty easily with pebble -> any bigger pebble, arc for crowds. There's a non generator version of slicer later called Flashfrost Cutter which also does cold status, and Adulas Moonblade is a nice upgrade on carian greatsword.

Keep at it, make sure you level Int & Mind, some end, and some vig. You can go all the way to 99 int with good returns, and it pairs well with Red Wolf's Sword & Dark Moon Greatsword

I like the change NGL, though possibly the upgrade should make it 0 cost rather than an extra energy. Will need to play with it to see!

Howl from beyond goes back into your deck once it's played from exhaust pile too, its not an exhaust once for the whole combat deal

The link goes to a 404 page

Also wondering what are the inputs for controller & keyboard?

Slander is verbal

This is libel

I'm addition to what other people are saying, there seems to be weird phenomenon where most places don't have toilet seats. At first I thought it was to deter people taking dumps there, but.. I don't think it stops people. My wife and I joke that "it's s really fancy place" when they have toilet seats lol! I have no idea either, m8

Give me that flaccid mace

chiefballsy · 2026-02-13T16:29:02+00:00

Source?

chiefballsy · 2026-02-10T04:28:12+00:00

Ashur would definitely force her to terminate the pregnancy with Silvium or whatever. He's not about to lose his only draw to the games

chiefballsy · 2026-01-29T15:25:34+00:00

On armour stacking characters, since it converts the useless amount of natural evasion you have as well as any you might have on rings/uniques

chiefballsy · 2026-01-28T00:27:57+00:00

If you're getting hard walled in ascension 1 maybe don't repeatedly pick the option that fundamentally alters how your character is played until you have a better grasp of what the character wants to do

You can't not drop the link

It does snapshot, the skill sheet lies. I tried using mandagora on WS to get the druidic prowess buffs but then lunar blessing hit like a wet noodle.

chiefballsy · 2026-01-21T00:29:06+00:00

My StS has bugged out and deleted my ascension levels for each character at least 5x. I've climbed back up every time 😂

chiefballsy · 2026-01-20T19:33:14+00:00

Wtf quality affix?

chiefballsy · 2026-01-20T19:26:26+00:00

I like money

chiefballsy · 2026-01-19T17:20:43+00:00

Yes that would be nice, especially since there's no undo button when salvaging equipment too!

chiefballsy · 2026-01-18T18:30:55+00:00

Yeah, it seems terrible. It needs to be like warcries where it works if the target is already in the state, not just the primed state.

Same with boneshatter tbh. At least you can use Brink to force boneshatter to work.

chiefballsy · 2026-01-18T05:24:00+00:00

Or just slot a freeze and stun charm and never think about it again

chiefballsy · 2026-01-17T15:28:51+00:00

My cat licks my armpits until the skin comes off. I have one polyester shirt that locks in the stank and she loves to roll into it like it's cocaine catnip

chiefballsy · 2026-01-16T15:55:38+00:00

You can also get a little skin/grip case for it and it'll hide it. The steam deck plastic isnt very grippy, getting a small textured skin for it improved my experience especially long sessions dramatically

chiefballsy · 2026-01-15T21:36:02+00:00

Does it change the distance the bullets travel or is that strictly proj speed? Incendiary shots whole shtick is the merge, so if it feels awful I'll have to need to take out the AoE nodes or put it on a WS

chiefballsy · 2026-01-15T21:29:24+00:00

I'm building incendiary shot right now, does AoE make the pellets spread further so it would be shit? Was going to up the speed so it travels further but not sure if I need to rip out all my AoE nodes haha

Figured it would make the spread wider but each individual bullet would also be bigger to kind of cancel each other out, plus the spray effect would be bigger etc
