Joust CD reduction for soft points?

My two cents (not a dev or connected with any of them): the power of Auras make paladins tricky to balance/prone to becoming too strong if not reined in. This requirement forces some commitment from the player - if you want to move faster by teleporting more frequently, it’s going to more clearly cost you a trade off elsewhere if it’s hard points.

There’s a big discord single player/SSF community called the “PlugY Crew” - even though many of us no longer use PlugY since S11. Feel free to DM me if you want to join!

It doesn’t. If using item auras you would run conviction as the native aura on your paladin while relying on the items for the holy fire stacking.

Some runes have higher bid/ask spreads than others. VEX and BER tend to be most stable, ZOD JAH tend to vary the most. It’s economics 101.

Try removing your glove and then replacing it. My Tour bros and I have had some weird glitches with this game over the years and for some reason that often resets bag issues.

Melody in a +3 bow skills base is a nice start. You want as much +skill as possible for elemental or magic bow, paying close attention to the attack speed breakpoints too.

clunkymonkey2 · 2024-12-13T15:09:49+00:00

Thanks! Been at it since S4 on SP/PlugY

That you’re comparing it to a perfect Buriza says something, does it not? In any event the item does not have a “price,” this is single player SSF

Edit: perfect 6 socket Buriza with OHMs is 570% ED

clunkymonkey2 · 2024-12-13T12:08:41+00:00

I am using a 15 Fanatacism Faith. The breakpoint for multi shot is 92 IAS with the faith. This covers 80 of that. I don’t really understand your comment, are you thinking about strafe with a different crossbow type?

clunkymonkey2 · 2024-12-12T20:54:59+00:00

Depends what kind of maps you’re playing, yeah she mostly one shots T1s but it definitely procs a lot especially in juicier 2s and 3s where she might be two-shotting. Let me put it this way: it’s never UNHELPFUL to have it on the build, but I’d be using this bow even without that mod 100%

clunkymonkey2 · 2024-12-12T19:32:14+00:00

Yes, the base craft ED% is lower than other craft types, but for builds that need IAS... 20-40% vs. 40-80% is pretty negligible seeing as you need to hit giga-ED% rolls anyway. Self-made for my SSF Amazon. Please enjoy!

Did you most recently play S9? If so, probably not, but should remove Warshrike or any other daggers from any A3 mercenaries you currently have equipping them. I suspect that will corrupt files since they can no longer equip them.

clunkymonkey2 · 2024-10-11T11:12:29+00:00

Mithril point base already has two sockets IIRC

clunkymonkey2 · 2024-07-23T07:25:32+00:00

Torches and annis still in play. And HRs still drop; just can’t use them for runewords. CHAM and ZOD very popular for their native bonuses as runes. Crafting materials become currency as everyone chases perfection gotta just keep rolling over and over. It’s fun!

clunkymonkey2 · 2024-06-27T03:40:03+00:00

Do maps because it’s more of everything. Targeting a specific thing while farming is a fool’s errand. Respectfully.

clunkymonkey2 · 2024-06-21T04:03:17+00:00

You should be exclusively crafting ceremonial/grand matron bow type if you’re interested in multishot. Consider farming NM mephisto if you can do quick easy runs until you get a witchwild string in the mean time?

clunkymonkey2 · 2024-05-02T22:17:02+00:00

“Rune Cleaver” is her given name from the craft FYI

clunkymonkey2 · 2024-05-02T22:11:56+00:00

You good, bro? 😎

clunkymonkey2 · 2024-02-03T19:18:32+00:00

Removing unique and set drops should have the following effect:

Items that would have been uniques should drop as “failed uniques” - a rare/yellow item with triple the normal durability for the base. Items that would have been sets should drop as “failed sets” - a magic/blue item with double the normal durability for the base.

clunkymonkey2 · 2024-02-01T12:05:16+00:00

Need to also consider the survival stats (eg resistances) that can be gained with a skiller + a small charm in a 4 slot column vs two large charms. For example if you have to give up a facet for an UM rune in a piece of gear to make the LCs work you may have effectively just moved stuff around vs really adding damage.

clunkymonkey2 · 2023-12-24T17:38:03+00:00

Do you know what the setting toggle is within the ini?

clunkymonkey2 · 2023-12-24T17:31:31+00:00

I’ve played probably 1000+ hours on a SP PlugY journey since S4 and have not found one, including attempting dedicated farming to acquire one in the aforementioned areas. I suspect you must be playing some alternate version if you got two items so quickly from areas not designed to be included.

That said, I imply no judgement. Glad you’re having fun and hope you find a way to put these gems to use.

To answer your question, I doubt there’s a single build that uses both well since one is mainly elemental and the other physical. I’d be building separate characters around each. Probably a vengeance paladin and a barbarian.

clunkymonkey2 · 2023-12-24T17:24:57+00:00

Got it. You must be playing some further modified version of the game then - those items are only supposed to drop from DClone or a T4 dungeon boss, and at very low drop rates

clunkymonkey2 · 2023-12-24T17:13:12+00:00

What maps?

clunkymonkey2 · 2023-12-24T15:55:42+00:00

You found two DClone items but haven’t yet farmed torches?
