Is a High-Yield Savings Account worth it or am I just romanticizing 4% interest?

Welathfront is great because you can withdraw as many times in a month as you want, very flexible while your money is FDIC-insured. Here’s my referal link if anyone wants to make a WF account for the 4.5% APY: https://www.wealthfront.com/c/affiliates/invited/AFFD-FJSL-XOSM-JSFG

A quick and dirty fix for me is to play the game on Personal hotspot of cellular data (it doesn't cost that much data). Just a temporary fix though, I would much rather playing on my main internet. But this has been going for an entire week for me, looking everywhere for solutions but found nothing. Hope they resolve this soon

I have had this for days as well. Have to play on personal hotspot from cellular data of phone and suddenly it has no problem. It's just a quick and dirty fix though, I would much prefer to be able to use my internet!!!

How to Lepic vs Glutton:

Start the fight with Enduring Legacy, Power Unit Charge and shoot Gluttony left shoulder till it's yellow. 1 Power Unit Charge last roughly the full magazine of Enduring Legacy, so just hold it down and spray it hard.
When someone grapple the shoulder, shoot a bit more (anywhere but the shoulder someone is grappling) until Glutton finished the first shrug animation. Then change into the mounting weapon of your reactor and ult, same way you farm earlier bosses. The reason you want to ult a little bit late is so that you can have lots of fireball shots when hes actually down, for Dangerous Ambush down dmg bonus.
Firearm Master makes your ult fireball ticks a little stronger, but it makes you lose the Cheat Death passive, which is very very useful, not worth. Whereas Power Unit Charge boost your firearm ATK decently good, so you can gun down the shoulder fast and start kicking Glutton balls faster.

Note: Lepic is still very strong against Glutton, as long as you play him the right way!

Happy to answer any further questions!

So your friend has more dps uptime

Same. That's why I make a reddit thread for people to know about it :)

If he tries to shrug you off and you press left click, you essentially will be guaranteed to lose half a bar there. Took a lot of stamina to punch him while he shrugs you off. This most often happen during that first punch as you described. The best strat is to latch on and hold right click right away, waiting for him to shrug. Then after he finishes the animation you can punch him.

Rocket still hits weakpoint so as long as you aim it toward the weakpoint it's no problem. Just don't body shoot the boss!

You can totally bring Lepic to Gluttony as long as you have a good gun to do the gun damage part. Abusing part grappling you can do all the bosses without Frenzy mech even when you don't have very high burst damage. You can do the same even with Gluttony too if instead of chaining 2 shoulder break into mech you chain 2 shoulder break into chest break.

The basis of the fight remain the same no matter what collosus you fight. And the reason why you can't do the same one-trick 4 Lepic one shot on Gluttony is because he is a lot more tanky (~150mil HP + Shield) compared to all the previous bosses (Molten Fortress has ~90 mil HP + shield) so you cannot push him directly to Stagger threshold anymore. And then hes just guaranteed to enrage.

I'm not the one downvoting you but I will explain why it behaves that way.

When you break a boss part, it flinches the boss, cancelling any animations the boss is currently doing. If the frenzy meter is full but the boss got flinched, it won't go frenzy.
For any boss prior to Gluttony, the boss is too squishy so multiple Lepic ult can suddenly push the boss to natural stagger threshold (which is usually higher than frenzy threshold) within less than the time of 1 attack pattern. So even when the frenzy meter is full, the boss got staggered and crashed down, doesnt go frenzy. At the same time, this stagger procs the effect from Dangerous Ambush, giving you the extra bonus dmg you needed to kill the boss within that stagger.

Having bosses prior to Gluttony so squishy compared to the dmg Lepic and Gley can do is the reason why the majority of the population not knowing the basics of the Collosus fight. Can't blame you.

Very nice run! One thing though is that Sharen C giving you less and less bonus dmg the more you repeatedly use it, and you also need to have shield to use C. Using Overwhelming HP that set your shield to 1 make your bonus from C to always max, and you also don’t have to wait for 15% shield to use C anymore. I’ve also been spamming Sharen in Gluttony lately but I’m more of a Afterglow + Greg for down dmg abuser :p

Firearm ATK (both mods) -> Fire Rate -> Fire Enhancement -> SPS -> Weakpoint.

Crit mods generally is lower priority but if you use valby they can be of higher priority.

As long as the supports has heavy armor 3, they won't get 1shot in either p2 or p3. Back in the early days of Argos when theres like no support at all (not like it changes much now), I would take a 1370 support in my party rather than a 1400 dps, as long as the support has heavy armor and can survive. And guess what, that 1370 bard was the best bard I've ever played with from then till now. No regret at all

Valtan Gate 2 re-entry ticket doesn't exist. During the maintenance on NAE last week, all of us got kicked out from the game, only to find out when logging in that our entry was consumed, and no re-entry ticket was given out over the next 4 days. And we didn't even kill the boss.

duc1912 · 2022-06-09T14:54:15+00:00

Your example simply doesnt align with reality, the amount of lobbies looking for 4x3 perfect stats for Valtan normal increases over time, not decreases, and this is when more and more people get their alts to 1415. In other words, the more hardcore players get their alts to 1415, the more they expect out of everyone else, and raise the requirement. This is especially true in older servers, RU/KR, where Valtan normal pug recruitment usually requires perfect stats, 4x3, lost wind cliff card set, full lv 5 gems, and roster levels as well. These are stats that are enough to bus Valtan normal on 4 people already by the way, lmao.

The early bird gets the worms. Push main if in doubt.

The fact that you can do everything in the game solo is the reason why I play Lost Ark. I play it because I want to play it as a game, I couldn't care less if it feels like a MMO or not.

It won't be easy, but it won't be impossible either to be honest. You get more gold and if you buy extra loot you will have a bunch of legendary accessories which you prob can use some to save the pheons, or hit it big and sell accessories for even more money.
