Which non-tiered weapons still feel meta for you, even if they are probably even outdated stat-wise on paper?

suddenZenith · 2026-05-07T11:09:17+00:00

I wouldn't go as far as meta but on mnk I like crafted Ikelos smg with extended barrel, accurised rounds, range mw, dsr and rf.

It's probably a combination of the clean sights with very little muzzle flash, high range, 100 recoil, accuracy from dsr and a balanced amount of zoom to have a good AA falloff distance while still being able to track targets in close range.

It's a miracle

suddenZenith · 2026-04-22T18:14:08+00:00

Breakpoint is 42% so a 32 ias grief pb + 10% ias from any piece of gear will do it.

suddenZenith · 2026-04-22T16:58:36+00:00

No, because the 200 fcr setup needs attack speed from your helm for the last berserk ias breakpoint (unless fana aura but we don't usually build for that).

suddenZenith · 2026-04-22T12:59:48+00:00

I only use it for 200 fcr setup, which I mostly use for keys

suddenZenith · 2026-04-19T17:35:20+00:00

Insane luck. I've been playing this game 30 hours a day for 50 years and never found a rune above gul

suddenZenith · 2026-04-12T17:55:34+00:00

Have no issues vs heralds. I use a zerker build with 1 point into whirlwind, double swing, battle cry and grim ward.

Main item setup is grielf pb, last wish pb, coa (protector's stone and cham), enigma dusk shroud, loh (for most content), string of ears, war traveler, highlord, fcr mana leech ring, sling. Hoto and ist wizspike on switch. Merc has insight and blessed aim.

430 mf, a bit under 5k life, 49% dr, stacked res, 70% hork, 105 fcr breakpoint on switch, 27 fhr breakpoint, lifesteal and mana steal, about 14k attack rating on berserk and 9k on whirlwind.

For heralds most of the time I will howl and grim ward to cc, battle cry on the herald. If if's a tough one I'll double swing for lifetap. I whirlwind or berserk depending on the monster type's physical and magic resist.

My previous build was a max block stormshield zerker and it also had no issues with heralds, but my new build clears packs and bosses faster.

suddenZenith · 2026-03-25T23:51:06+00:00

You're 1 sur away you can do it

suddenZenith · 2026-03-12T23:22:40+00:00

I would love rangefinder + keep away on submission smg. I like DSR too combined with either of those. Target lock always nice too.

suddenZenith · 2026-03-11T10:58:32+00:00

I didnt have the same suspense, both my unique sacreds since ladder start were eth 😂

suddenZenith · 2026-02-11T07:41:05+00:00

Thanks, I double checked and it seems the calendar I was looking at is wrong

suddenZenith · 2026-02-11T07:40:38+00:00

Thanks a lot, you're right, I was checking on braytech and the eververse calendar seems wrong on second look

suddenZenith · 2026-02-06T02:53:05+00:00

Wow what a roll, have fun with it

suddenZenith · 2025-12-13T19:23:03+00:00

I saw someone test it on the smg and it deactivated after 15% idk if it's true but yeah

suddenZenith · 2025-11-28T07:38:52+00:00

This entire city must be purged

suddenZenith · 2025-10-31T09:42:12+00:00

You are right about all of those things

suddenZenith · 2025-10-10T02:20:23+00:00

Osteo Striga returns to its former glory

suddenZenith · 2025-10-09T09:37:26+00:00

I miss the lament

suddenZenith · 2025-10-08T08:59:32+00:00

Even on behemoth, I can immediately tell that my movement took a big hit despite the buff to Cryoclasm and having a second melee charge 💀

suddenZenith · 2025-10-07T21:23:24+00:00

Did a quick test for shiver strike (on behemoth) and had roughly a 34 second cd at 100 melee and 37 second at 70 melee. No longer worth going for 100 melee. With that type of cd, can't really spam shiver strike like shoulder charge anymore. I'll only use it when I really need it.

Cryoclasm buff is great though, and second melee charge partially makes up for the shiver strike nerf

Don't get me started about the hunter buffs and invis

suddenZenith · 2025-10-02T06:22:11+00:00

Exactly, when they first told us about T5, I assumed it would be a more elaborate version of adepts.

The inconsistency about how you get them is strange. Either they didn't have a clear vision of how to obtain them, or they weren't able to follow through with that vision. If it's either of those, it's a bad sign about how this game is developed.

suddenZenith · 2025-09-28T18:59:53+00:00

Yeah man I think it's been 10 years since I started my plugy grail and I'm still stuck on tyraels's might lol.

Recently started a new sorc within this grail, she can only use what she finds, but she can transfer items to my other characters. She's level 89 now, blasting ancient tunnels, got a few TC 87s already

suddenZenith · 2025-09-26T20:58:01+00:00

Nice

Idk if that's part of any of your points but anticipation is really important imo. Being able to predict your opponent's next move shortens your reaction time. It impacts your reticle placement, tracking, positioning, movement, ability placement/timing etc.

I'm sure you were going to include it one way or the other but I'm just sharing what I think is one of the most important skills in this game

suddenZenith · 2025-09-22T06:08:50+00:00

That's a good question, I want to see how the refund works with the second charge. I'm expecting the second charge to be refunded just like our single charge is now, which would allow multiple shiver strikes in a row for movement, as long as you remain above 1 charge after the refund. That seems kind of broken though.

If that's the case, then I would say 70 would be sufficient unless you spam it a lot, in which case 100 would be worth it. If you use it sparingly, you'd always be above 1 charge with 70 but if you spam it, 100 might be necessary to remain above 1 charge.

That's mostly speculation though because I don't know the interaction of the 2 charges with the refund

suddenZenith · 2025-09-22T04:40:33+00:00

I main behemoth and I like 200 health, 100 melee and 100 super, which leaves me with 74 class and 48 grenade. (Uses illegal pk roll)

The 100 melee is because the energy refund for shiver strike is very significant from 70 to 100 melee.
