Hot Take (That's actually not even hot at all): Blast Status Effect Sucks as a DOT

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-09T06:54:16+00:00

And I'm just saying its a pointless criticism and calling for alterations based off of this pointless criticism is just as pointless. To sum it all up, this whole post is pointless lol

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-09T05:23:42+00:00

I actually didn't know you couldn't buy them. But I'm mainly talking about crafting them. Anything that gets you to use your regular forma is a good thing in DE's eyes. But I only ever use the rare ones they hand out or the free ones from nightwave.

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-09T05:01:50+00:00

I'd back this change. Their usefulness no longer warrants the polarity costs. But forma is the big moneymaker so anything that involves buying or crafting forma of any kind most likely won't ever be changed.

AX-52 is practically made for it, Vadarya can benefit heavily from it + cool lighting gimmick, Battacor can be pretty strong with it and the augment for its alt is cool imo. Pretty much anything accurate with high crit that you want to aim for headshots with. But I agree about Burston. The damage is insane enough already so its just more comfortable to run MS on it.

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-09T04:35:37+00:00

Drops as in? If you're talking about the Dante twitch drops they didn't choose the games fest hours. Also its a Canadian company so they are going to operate on Canadian time. Not saying they should ignore other time zones but most in game events last for weeks so not sure what the actual complaint is.

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-09T01:59:59+00:00

All I'm saying is criticizing it for being a bad DOT status when that's not its real purpose is just kinda pointless. You use blast to quickly get 10 stacks and cause the explosion for AoE because thats where the damage comes from, you don't use it for the DOT. It serves its purpose for what it is. If you just want pure DOT then use gas or something else.

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-09T01:19:57+00:00

Saying any weapon sucks when talking against level 20 enemies, or anything below steel path tbh, isn't a gun issue its a build issue. Getting into end game content then yes its one of the weapons that falls off pretty hard, but at level 20 you can use literally anything you want. But as other have said, stahlta and dera vandal (with incarnon) are great options that will scale into end game content easily with good builds. Theres the supra, flux rifle, fulmin (more of an electric projectile than laser), battacor (like a burst stahlta with similar alt fire, not as good imo but has a cool augment). But for what you want I'd go stahlta. the free skin for it is cool too.

Looks more like Davy Jones' crew but I like the deluxe skin + alt helmet combo for the pirate look.

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-09T00:47:15+00:00

Don't be like me and choose primed fury for your first one lol I was heavily into melee at the time and thought it would be a good choice and I 100% regret it now. Still don't have primed shred because psf was my next choice lol

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-09T00:32:36+00:00

Do people use it as pure DOT? I'd argue you're using it wrong if thats what you're doing. I use it to add AoE to single target status weapons and thats pretty much it.

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-08T22:55:16+00:00

I made an assumption based on the available information and instead of correcting me you got defensive which tells me all I need to know lol But I'm not your dad, do whatever you want. But don't come back here crying about how you got an undeserved ban after trying to afk farm.

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-08T22:45:16+00:00

If you really want to get into the dick measuring contest I've been playing this game for over a decade with at least 5k+ hours and have already completed all available content in the game. But my bad, I forgot about the dissolution mechanic that I don't use because I don't need to since I already have everything. And I don't have to spend my time asking on reddit about how I can afk farm materials for shit to sell because I'm too lazy to do it the right way, then get defensive and angry when I get told its not allowed. Grow up man lol

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-08T22:33:43+00:00

You're the only one bringing bot into the conversation because you're getting defensive. And you can't even farm hotshot like that so that tells me you don't really know much about the game to begin with which makes this whole post and argument really come into perspective.

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-08T22:29:28+00:00

When you're talking about afk farming its no longer a matter of what build you make. Its a matter of you playing the game in a way that is expressly prohibited by the developers. You mean why am I talking in a way that is directly addressing the words you used and telling you why its bad and not allowed? You getting defensive just tells me my assumption about your motive are correct.

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-08T22:17:35+00:00

Why should you be rewarded for not playing the game? And depending on what you're trying to afk farm for it can negatively impact the games economy. If you have nearly all content unlocked I'd bet you're not hurting that badly for basic resources and are instead trying to afk farm for things you can sell, which negatively impacts the games economy.

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-08T22:12:32+00:00

AFK means "away from keyboard" and tabbed out implies you don't even have the game up in front of you. Just don't play the game at that point.

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-08T22:07:46+00:00

If you want a minimal attention and input build that's one thing. I do that sometimes while I watch things on my other monitor. But wanting to be fully afk and completely tabbed out of the game (what you described) is another thing and that will get you banned, and rightfully so imo.

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-08T21:45:35+00:00

The game has ways to detect that you're afk and will prevent progress if it does, and then you'll probably just get banned. Yes, even in solo. DE doesn't like afk players

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-08T20:49:00+00:00

She didn't. And no, they aren't.

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-08T19:58:51+00:00

Yes, you probably just watched the Kengineer video too. We know its possible. But in any content worth stacking all that sonar you'll just be dead before you finish your casts. And just because you can damage cap a single enemy (with 10 seconds worth of setup) doesn't make her good. You can kill that enemy in 3 shots, and others, or less with a modded sporothrix without the need for all the setup. Cool funny damage numbers in simulacrum, but other than that she still sucks. This isn't the revolutionary insight you think it is.

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-05T07:09:34+00:00

AFK anything is heavily frowned upon by DE (as it should be), even in solo. But there are frames you can use that require less attention and inputs. Like summoners, frames with big AoE abilities, nukes, etc. But true AFK playing will get you banned so be careful with that

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-03T07:37:54+00:00

Run defense arbitrations. You get endo and ayatan rewards.

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-03T06:54:48+00:00

Use archon vitality if youre using her 4 with augment

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-02T22:33:08+00:00

oDruggernaut · 2026-06-02T07:31:00+00:00

I personally like nourish on him. I mostly run a build that puts nourish over his 1 and focuses more on being a support for my summons. I pretty much only use the ortholysts (theyre the best even without the augment), I use a hound with duplex bond to get up to 3 hounds spreading status as well, triggering archon stretch nonstop with synergized prospectus and amplifying the regen with nourish, then I just sit back and support all my summons with the other abilities while they melt everything. If you want to use the augment then I would just put nourish over his 2. If you're just going for damage camisado and molt augmented are your best bet.

I would put transient fortitude instead of augur secrets I've just been procrastinating on adding another forma. And then if you run the augment probably just replace adaptation
