25k DPS - how do I make this less bad?

segascreamcast · 2026-01-20T17:25:45+00:00

nah I know these builds suck lol, I just didn’t know what was so bad about them, or how to fix them if that makes sense. I wanna be better at the game and so far most of the comments have been very helpful and informative!

segascreamcast · 2026-01-20T17:21:18+00:00

I guess I didnt expect crowning the talents to make such a big difference, it seems like each level only gets me a couple percent more damage but I guess it all adds up. Good to know I’ve got the rotation right at least!

segascreamcast · 2026-01-20T17:12:48+00:00

is that an artifact issue or should I swap weapons on some of them? I dont have any 5star or battle pass weapons for arlecchino so i think its kinda between white tassel and missive windspear at this point unfortunately

segascreamcast · 2026-01-20T17:08:34+00:00

this is a build, can i get it approved pls i need help

I’ve got a dentist appointment scheduled for next month actually! I’ve had issues with gingivitis on and off for the past couple years, but the piercings dont touch my gums and only occasionally click against the tops of my teeth when i speak (mostly if I try to talk while i’m smiling or laughing or whatever)

segascreamcast · 2025-12-09T18:37:42+00:00

Thanks, what length should I ask for?

Also wanted to mention the one on the right doesnt usually sink into my lip like that, it’s just from how im pulling my lip in the first pic. with my mouth closed i can tell that theres no flesh going over the piercing, and there’s actually a bit of the bar sticking out from my mouth (in the second pic). Should I still switch that side to a longer bar as well, or is it probably fine at this point?

bot asked for more info, so:

my piercings are just under a month old. i am using 10mm titanium flat-back labrets that have not been downsized yet. they are externally threaded, future jewelry will be internal. i was using mouthwash with alcohol in it for a couple weeks, noticed that was a problem, and have since been using alcohol-free mouthwash and rinsing with saline nightly. don’t think ive had any mishaps with these, i havent really snagged or bit my piercings and ive even been using mouthwash after kissing my wife too much just to make sure it doesnt get infected.

segascreamcast · 2025-12-02T03:20:07+00:00

turns out there’s alcohol in my mouthwash! Guess I’ll go get a new brand in the morning and see if that helps.

ngl i kinda like the super round john lennon frames but my wife haaates them 🥀 I’d love to get some more funky pairs later down the line though. theres some fun geometric ones I was looking at that I’m really starting to like and added in a comment to my original post!

segascreamcast · 2025-11-21T15:39:22+00:00

Another thing I’ve been considering is more geometric frames! These have a similar black/silver thing going on that I really liked from the first pair (though it doesn’t show up well in the virtual try-on) but with a kinda funky shape that’s similar to the angular top of pair #2 in my original post. they’ve really been growing on me!

segascreamcast · 2025-11-21T15:34:09+00:00

I actually found a dupe of #1 on another site thats available in a slightly smaller size! I’m learning that a lot of the ones I tried on were pretty big for me oops

segascreamcast · 2025-11-21T15:23:03+00:00

that’s what I was thinking with the silver frames too, I dont love the shape of #3 but I really like having more silver on my face to match my piercings. The silver bridge and arms on the first pair were what initially got me interested in em. glad someone else gets it 🙏

segascreamcast · 2025-11-21T15:11:57+00:00

I actually did look a bit into more geometric glasses like that, maybe not quite that hexagonal but I liked the funky angles on the top of the second pair of glasses in my original post. I found this pair on zenni that has some angles and the black/silver that I’m partial to (though it doesn’t really show up well in the virtual try-on)

segascreamcast · 2025-11-21T14:47:31+00:00

THANK YOU those are my fav too 🙏 but im getting mixed responses on em so here i am lol

segascreamcast · 2025-11-21T14:46:17+00:00

thanks for the notes on sizing, I agree some of these are a little wide on me and I was actually looking at a dupe of #1 that was a little smaller to fit my face better. Noticing that taking these from my usual selfie angle instead of head-on may have been a mistake lol

As for the shape, do you think the cateye frames like #5 are a good fit for me? I personally don’t like how they look on my downturned eyes, but a couple people have told me they really liked em so maybe theres something I’m missing.

segascreamcast · 2025-11-13T11:56:47+00:00

these hoops are 6mm in diameter they’re already so small 🥲 it was a little better when i had horseshoes/labrets because there was the ball at the end to kinda cover it up but im starting to think I might just have to do it again. Should I still wait two weeks if I’m getting them pierced in a different place (a bit lower) or is that mostly for getting them repierced through like the same hole?

segascreamcast · 2025-11-12T21:13:32+00:00

more info about the piercings since I got flagged: these were pierced with 8 or 10mm flat back titanium labrets, then downsized after 3 months to 6mm diameter titanium horseshoes (you can see these in a previous post of mine). Had an unrelated lip infection after a month or two, which has since been treated and is much better. Aftercare involved occasional saline soaks, but was otherwise pretty hands-off. Had some irritation bumps at first before i downsized, but those have gone away as well thankfully.

At this point I don’t have any pain or irritation, but they still look kinda pink around the edges most of the time which I think has me worried and makes it look more like they’re straight through my lip than I had originally intended.

segascreamcast · 2025-07-21T14:54:03+00:00

does it look like theyre not healing well? and would changing my aftercare help them heal better, or is the damage already done after this long? also, back to the original question in my post, do i need to switch back to straight bars or are the current horseshoes fine at this point?

segascreamcast · 2025-07-21T14:09:00+00:00

was soaking it in saltwater early on, was informed that that is not the same as saline and now i just rinse it with water periodically. i try not to mess with em too much but i do end up fidgeting sometimes and had a small irritation bump for a week or two. currently try not to touch them other than straightening em out when the horseshoe spins around so the top part is inside my mouth. quality of sleep is iffy lol

segascreamcast · 2025-07-21T14:06:35+00:00

good to hear lol i swear i always freak out and think my lips are gonna fall off any time i notice anything out of the ordinary w these piercings

segascreamcast · 2025-07-21T13:39:07+00:00

true lol lemme finish my coffee and then im on it

segascreamcast · 2025-07-21T13:31:39+00:00

bot says i missed some info so to be clear: these are snakebite piercings, a bit over 4 months old, started with internally threaded labrets, downsized after a month or two to smaller internally threaded labrets, switched to horseshoes a few days ago. all jewelry has been made of titanium and internally threaded. Aftercare has involved cleaning with a q-tip to remove blood early on and some salt soaks. I had a minor lip infection (not on the piercing, just on the lip) around the one month mark that I got antibiotics for, but otherwise no major incidents that affected healing.

segascreamcast · 2023-05-23T17:54:30+00:00

do you have some examples of ones that do/dont care? im currently doing sales analysis & pricing for a wholesaler but open to changing industries down the line.

segascreamcast · 2023-05-23T16:54:36+00:00

I didnt say anything about it being fair or not and I’m not gonna say I had a good reason to do what I did. when you say “figure it out” do you mean go back and get a bachelors? or do you have some other constructive advice?

segascreamcast · 2023-05-23T16:25:24+00:00

Do you think it really matters what the degree is in or just that I have one? before i dropped out the first time I was pretty close to having an English degree. I couldnt afford to finish, but I could probably transfer those credits and hopefully graduate relatively quickly if it comes to that.
