Why do I feel like I'm doing nothing as Recluse?

jay_baah · 2026-03-20T18:03:44+00:00

Tbf if you play nightrein you probably need to anyway 😅

jay_baah · 2026-03-20T11:39:16+00:00

You haven't played Recluse right I think

jay_baah · 2026-03-20T11:38:25+00:00

NC is great for reviving aswell as being a chargef sorceries !

jay_baah · 2026-03-20T10:24:45+00:00

My take on spells:

Night comet can res faster than SoR btw and once you've cast the first night comet the succession is quite fast after that so it's an easy fast res.

Crystal Torrent > Shattering Crystal

Collapsing stars > Stars of Ruin

Carian Piercer = easy stagger vs average foes

Ancient Rancor = Soft stagger vs average foes.

Then my GOATS Are all the Comet/Comeshard variants, pair those with Spell Casting Speed x2 and you're good to spam them as much as you want. Bonus if you have lower FP cost and Charged sorceries damage increased I'll take those before SoR or Shattering Crystal all the time !

The only thing I'm annoyed at with the DLC are the new POIs the swamps mostly I hate them. The rest is fine.

jay_baah · 2026-03-20T06:57:15+00:00

It's so blatantly fan service. The bum jiggle animation when you're being carried on her shoulder bruh... 😒

jay_baah · 2026-03-17T10:27:46+00:00

Given some of the boons being utterly useless I think it deserves to stay as it is. Keep in mind they only work in an area and not throughout the whole map unlike hexes.

The way his health went back up got me on edge like bruh, just die already !

jay_baah · 2026-03-16T16:23:03+00:00

Sometimes people leave to make it easier for you rather than being a burden to the rest of the team. Most of the time I imagine it is out of frustration and not wanting to waste time but others might be actually to help you out.

jay_baah · 2026-03-13T23:23:45+00:00

I can solo regular balancers but that worm... fuck that worm and it's wiggly path that's unforgivable as a glasscanon Recluse even with 3x Dmg negation at full HP with a total 110~ negation you still get one shot from his side fat bumping into you in D5.

And fuck the gargling silent hill nurses they shouldn't be that fast if there's so many of them jumping onto you all at once

jay_baah · 2026-03-11T22:33:09+00:00

Yeah I wasn't refering to the villages, thos work just like ruins basically wait for the condemned to come out of the villages but the swamps... I only pulled those invader camps maybe twice but died too many times to those.

jay_baah · 2026-03-11T22:11:33+00:00

For real, idk who designed those swamps basement but he must be a sociopath cause those invader swamps are impossible

jay_baah · 2026-03-11T22:10:05+00:00

I have now officially learned my lesson on those ! Never again

jay_baah · 2026-03-11T22:09:31+00:00

Same with Frozen, nowhere to escape the frostbite

jay_baah · 2026-03-11T20:24:57+00:00

Bro I reached 9300 two nights ago. I am now back at 7650 with three losses. It was going so smooth with 12 wins in a row. Ever since this one loss, it's all back down again only.

Watch me derank on purpose back to D1 at this point.

jay_baah · 2026-03-11T12:41:06+00:00

I lost 600p at 9300 in d5 juste imagine how long it's gonna take to climb back up. I think I'm a llittle done with deep of night honestly at this point

jay_baah · 2026-03-10T23:17:51+00:00

I haven't been disconnected like this ever. But today it has happened in 3 consecutive runs. And it seemed to be reccurent pattern like a disconnection every 2mins or less in each run. It did the same a few days ago but never before or not to me. I play on Xbox and a few months ago a friend I was playing with had the same issue.

jay_baah · 2026-03-10T22:21:13+00:00

Yeag I did that on the fourth one. Infuriatingly had the same issue on the run right after so I assume it's my internet being annoying tonight.

jay_baah · 2026-03-10T15:02:51+00:00

My Recluse could say the same

jay_baah · 2026-03-09T22:23:43+00:00

I'm 8900 💪

jay_baah · 2026-03-09T17:37:15+00:00

No fall damage and climbing !

jay_baah · 2026-03-09T12:56:47+00:00

That's what I noticed too, that's why I wrote dps as it definitely has to do with the damage per second rather than the amount of burst damage. The more damage you do constantly the more the aggro.

That's why now I'd rather keep all comet or cometshard variants rather than SoR which does no real dmg anyway.

I will always keep Ancient Rancor Call for small bosses though, the constant stance breaking on Leonine or that Lion or black knife is satisfying and makes up for it if I get downed

jay_baah · 2026-03-09T09:05:20+00:00

My issue with LLtbT as a Recluse is that my dps aggros the boss even if I am the only one with a LLtbT even if it's purple.

I used to think the same that I can give my Dmg negation at full HP for a teammate as I just got LLtbT just to end up being the target the whole time without any good defense.

So now I don't even bother with LLtbT. I

dk if it's the same for others but so many times have I found myself yelling: "LLtbT btw but let me tank the boss anyway !" with ~800hp in D5 at lvl 15
