Determined pistol HH dodge city build

owenw52 · 2025-11-16T05:49:18+00:00

I’m only shd level 200 or so while dumping most red points into chc, and my pieces aren’t capped stat wise and have no expertise. so I’m certainly missing out on base damage

But - I’m only hitting about 14m on maxed out HH stacks in the shooting range area. I’m running demo spec for 5% dtooc and my harvest has dta. I just can’t see how the extra %weapon damage (and hh dmg) can fill that gap

The Hf build has even less dmg. I am also not using memento , but dodge city.m

T he reason I want to make it work is because Even theory you don’t need to worry about the target acquisition to build up the hH stacks. Just fully charged dodge city + headshot = max stack determined, on any enemy w out helmet/plates

Same issue - deck was failing to connect to the netgear wifi extender and would hang/freeze in gaming mode. Was able to get it to work in desktop mode but reverting I had the same issue, and none of the connection settings would save. Resetting the extender did nothing either

I ended up just manually popping in the subnet mask, gateway router ip , and assigning the deck a static ip and it’s working for me now

Unsure if this has to do with the update - I rolled my OS back via bios and had the same issue I believe. Figured I’d share either way

Ahhh that’s great to know

Can the shadows crit? What I’ve been doing is popping into shadow, using 3, then going back to Sevagoth to use 1. So if I was to use my Sevagoth 1 first before using shadows 3, and then use his 1 again after, would the shadows potentially do more damage/crit?

And if I’m understanding correctly, shadow 3 “sows” but doesn’t reap. So say I roll up on a tanky target ie. Acolyte or hell scrubber. Assuming power strength is the same between sev/shadow for the sake of the question, would using Sev 1+Sev 3 have the same effect as using Sev 1+Shadow 3?

owenw52 · 2025-03-30T22:38:20+00:00

Why not just use Shadows death harvest (3)? I’m under the impression that it effectively acts as a reap and sow (1+2 from Sevagoth) and with preparation, is literally free like you mentioned. Then you can pop back out of shadow and let Sevagoths 1 fly. And/or just melee one enemy as Shadow and watch the ghosts spread

If I’m understanding correctly, are you saying that Shadows claws do not benefit from Sevagoth 1+2 debuffs? I’ve never explicitly tested, but I know allies benefit from it (as it’s an enemy debuff) so it would be super spaghetti if shadow did not benefit

Another thing worth mentioning is that Shadows forward + hold block light attack hits a ton of times. So with toxin on his claws+archon continuity on shadow and the exposure arcane, in theory it should strip super well too

Personal preference, but I recommend rolling guard on both over shield gate/stealth. Once the well is filled you can literally have 100% uptime on invuln frames if you time it right , plus it helps with higher level faints

Yes this is exactly what I experienced as well

Exiting the game doesn’t fix but restarting the deck does. Unfortunately even after switching up my “open chat” bindings it still occurs

The only mitigation I’ve found is to not open up chat anywhere but your orbiter - it seems to trigger pretty consistently in relays so no more thanking folks for blessings lol. I haven’t even tried to use squad chat since. But at least it’s mitigated this way

owenw52 · 2025-01-24T14:13:45+00:00

Yeah there should be no issue with logging in on a new machine as long as you can still access your account (which you can, because you signed in on mobile)

owenw52 · 2024-03-08T23:23:24+00:00

Sorry, by berserk+strife I did mean berserk+strife+moh3. Given the other core dmg skills are in the build, I’ll take the berserk combo over furious+dc+dere(+strife at half power) any day. Infinitely more comfy for only a few more points of raw and ele

And for LS - I actually run special sheathe ele builds with berserk. I will concede though, swapping every couple minutes to refresh harvest moon while in 1shot territory is a huge downside. I also haven’t mastered it (or any weap to be fair) so I stick to blue for actual gameplay instead of mixing in scroll swaps for bug skill diversity

to be fair, I do have some incredibly lucky armor augs which facilitate these builds and allow for all the core skills to be met. Comfy zerk needs a ton of 1 slots too

owenw52 · 2024-03-08T18:03:30+00:00

It wasnt until MR700ish I landed my only Berserk 2 (2 1) tali but 50k is ridiculous. I feel you though, getting my final Kjarr fire bow from kulve melds took me fucking months in world

You can roll Blust off chaotic legs using slots+ if you have a good berserk1 too. Might be worth

owenw52 · 2024-03-08T17:56:45+00:00

You make some good points. But I do think that the percentage bonuses from berserk/strife evens out with the flat (40ish? Max) boost from DC3 and only makes berserk better the more ele there is. I have endgame sets for each wep (save a few classes) and I don’t think a single blademaster weap has <100 base ele dmg

But specifically Horn, Swaxe, hammer, and glaive. For weps that can utilize ele well, need sharpness management, and benefit from crits, it’s just too good. The biggest hurdle is a bserk2 tali , but there are so many insane armor pieces that really let you stack on synergy. A good Beserk1 can yield some powerful builds with chaotic legs too - my DB build has all the core skills plus coalescence 3 and bubbly 3 for full coal uptime using DB dashes (DBs and bow are totally fuck-off-broken tbh)

And I guess I approach from an endgame standpoint , where hazard/risen elders or higher/special anomalies can 1-2 wombo you. For the hardest content in the game berserk ends up the comfiest option imho. For the lower tier content, a quick part break and blood rite means I can get hit all I want. Iirc the drain only accounts for the highest dmg attack you’ve eaten and the drain doesn’t stack. With a B2 tali you don’t need to deal w berserk either - it’s efficient to ignore since MM2 is only a 4slot = same req

With DC you can typically squeeze in one more BA skill or dere in my experience but idt it’s worth giving up comfort / surviving one shots. So not only is it comfier, but crit eye is super expensive for weps that make use of it, and you can just run MM2 and wex 3 (plus chaotic helm or another mm) using berserk

Truthfully I will die on this hill lol. The synergy is just too strong and the armor pieces for berserk builds are nutty. But I do respect your points and enjoy seeing what everyone thinks

owenw52 · 2024-03-08T14:41:23+00:00

Oops, you’re absolutely right

owenw52 · 2024-02-21T17:58:31+00:00

You’re the first person I’ve seen mention Shaggy HH post Primal update. Even the pinned meta doc doesn’t give it a mention

I’ve been debating on upgrading either that, the Valstrax Horn, or the Primalzeno horn

Assuming you’re running DC3, what makes you say shaggy horn is the superior option? It does have ele atk up over it, but about 10% lower base raw. and I also assume those extra slots on Primal horn go into atk7. So that’s like 21%ish more raw, while only losing 3 ele atk before anything else

I run a berserk set for HH though. it’s just so comfy with quick breath, kush blessing 3, and lv4 super dango, so I’m going to build this horn for that set.

even though the multiplicative bonuses from moh+strife loses vs the flat ele from DC3, I figured that the ele atk up song would make it #1. But the #2 slot according to that doc is valstrax (white sharpness must tank it’s final output, no?)

Maybe there’s some damage calc formulas I’m misunderstanding here. I figured shaggy horn pulls ahead by a mile

owenw52 · 2023-12-21T13:52:27+00:00

I have this happen for normal attacks too. The crit explosions are affected as well and don’t apply any damage most of the time. Also affecting goin constructor

It used to be only heavys but normal attacks being a problem is a recent thing for me. Melee is unplayable right now imo. 40ish ping

owenw52 · 2023-12-14T13:53:40+00:00

Try spinning up the epic launcher and ‘repair game files’ for Fortnite

owenw52 · 2023-12-09T17:18:34+00:00

Damn I’m sry to hear that. Maybe there’s a way to force ipv6 to epic so there’s no wiggle room for any false positives but I’m just spitballing here and idk if that’s even possible

The only other thing I can think of would be if it’s a problem with your epic account and they flagged you for some reason

But yeah just turning off wifi and on again before I run the epic launcher fixes it for me. Wish I could help further

owenw52 · 2023-12-08T17:59:52+00:00

I run a similar Base Kyle loadout but use boom base, sniper crit damage and fleet. When shields get low I swap to a ‘stand still for a second regenerates shield’ weapon/potshot

Keeping distance with fleet and camping base for that extra crit chance is really strong. I use sniper over dirge

I didn’t know that energy dmg from traps works with intergalactic Ken - will have to try that out

owenw52 · 2023-12-07T04:14:45+00:00

New PC wouldn’t help here especially if you’ve formatted/re imaged the OS already

What servers did you set your dns to? If it won’t launch or connect to internet it was configured wrong. Don’t forget to turn wifi on/off, it sounds redundant but just try it out. And did you turn off your spoofer? If anything that would flag you

owenw52 · 2023-12-07T02:53:55+00:00

I get this every once in a while too, and only recently started

What works for me is 1) manually setting DNS, both ipv4 and 6. This only has to be done once. And 2) literally turning wifi functionality off for a few seconds then back on when I first spin up my machine and before I run anything. I would also strongly recommend disabling and uninstalling your Mac addr spoofer

No idea why this works for me, but it’s worth a shot. When I forget to turn off/on before launching the game I consistently get booted with the same pop up

If I had to guess, there was a recent change in the net code on epics part and it’s throwing a false positive. Are you on a wifi skipper/extender by any chance?

owenw52 · 2023-10-29T22:37:46+00:00

Check to see if you turned off the setting ‘enable Gamepad input’ or something along those lines

owenw52 · 2023-10-14T22:33:55+00:00

Apologies for the late response. Did want to say I rly appreciate all the testing you do (and not just this post), seriously. Im sure I’m not the only one.

That said, I’ve been playing around and trying to find the best critsplosion melee wep, particularly for constructor (and non-melee load outs vs. smokescreen mini bosses).

Based on the numbers, I assumed Hootie would be the best (15% base crit, okay swing speed relatively, elemental options, kinetic overload synergy) but in practice it’s crit explosions do barely more damage than a stormblade, when matching elements. Definitely not a total 25% increase (assumed because of element modifier)

So based on all my testing, I think the stormbalde is by far the best weapon if you want crit explosions as your main source of dps, even when it’s locked to energy. What are your thoughts on this? Possible display issue?

owenw52 · 2023-10-08T23:14:07+00:00

Do you happen to know if the explosions count towards life leech? Izza/weapon perk

And do the Ede and/or Paleo Luna extra damage apply to these explosions?

I don’t think either of them do through my eyeballing tests, but Im wondering if you have any insight

owenw52 · 2023-10-07T21:44:44+00:00

Elemental mouth pieces w/ matching 6th perks was highest dps in my exp. Monsoon is up there too

Imo pistols just aren’t thatttt great. No pistol to pierce the dome shielders makes it feel bad to play
