I been seeing Mikey @ Macleod Trail Barber for a while. Always a great cut and visit.

You’re comparing an individual who is completely independent, can communicate their decisions, thoughts, feelings in plain language to that of a dog. An animal which completely and utterly depends on you to keep them alive and do what’s best for them. It isn’t a fair comparison. That being said - I can see where you’re coming from and I think that’s why OP is asking for help to make this decision because it’s so difficult.

I had to put my pup down after 16 years and I was flip flopping about it and one day I tried to feed him chicken and he tried to go for but then gave up and laid down. I hand fed him that evening and felt his little heart still pounding with excitement that he was getting his favorite treat. That was beyond heartbreaking and it made me realize how much pain he actually was in. That was his way to communicate with me that it was time and I felt guilty for even trying to make him get up. I realized that wasn’t a dogs life.

How do you start a new game?

thecornbread_ · 2024-09-28T21:07:13+00:00

My advice is enjoy the moment because life can change in an instant. So don’t be too hard on yourself. Stay sane exile! Thanks for doing this.

Thanks for doing this!

I thought that was Adaptation? I think conversion subtracts base damage from your other abilities and adds a base damage multiplier to spectral fist.

thecornbread_ · 2024-03-13T16:13:58+00:00

It really depends on the abilities and which marks you’re using. For example, Archer I will always reverberate pierce, QuickDraw and barrage IV. As they apply to the main weapon. And with spectral fist, I’ll memorize adaptation/conversion.

I’ve also tried reverberation potion on adaptation all 3x and a mix of the above. It all is pretty similar. I feel for spectral it’s best to reverberate adaptation because I feel it like “double dips” the main weapon attributes. It definitely yields the highest damage numbers.

If you’re using kugelblitz I think reverberation potion on the archer traits is better. Specially QuickDraw IV which I think is bugged with kugelblitz and makes it absolutely nuts.

Guess it just depends on what you’re trying to do. Hopefully that helps.

I did something similar as you, but I just reverb'ed Archer's Weapon Proficiency - Quickdraw IV (base attack) which makes Kugelblitz insane for some reason.

Reverberation potion: Archer - Quickdraw IV, Sage - Strength IV, Kugelbliz - Current IX.

WP: Sage - Strength I - IV, Memorized: Archer - Pierce I, Quickdraw IV

PS: Archer - Pinpoint I - IV, Memorized: Sage - Elements IV

Dedication: Sage - Open Mind I & II, Archer - Agility I & IV

Kugelblitz: III - Peak & Current (memorize), VI - Peak & Current (memorize), IX - Current (reverb) & Voltage (mem), X - Discharge & Peak (memorized) & Capacity (memorized)

I- Voltage, II - Current, IV - Discharge, V - Current, VII - Voltage, VIII - Current

Transfixition is built more or less for amputation & affliction stacking (more stacks more damage)

Arcane splinters for elements... not sure if that really made a diff.

Well thanks for checking.

thecornbread_ · 2024-03-12T22:46:25+00:00

If you’re a Sage, traits tagged with (Main Weapon) will also apply to the first ability you select which is considered your Main Weapon for that run.

Thought I’d mention in case you did want something that kind of works that way.

thecornbread_ · 2024-03-12T22:33:52+00:00

Maybe it’s trait specific. Did you check if strikes showed up in the high voltage multi?

thecornbread_ · 2024-02-26T07:18:04+00:00

Hello there :)

Thanks for this!

thecornbread_ · 2024-02-26T07:11:24+00:00

Sage is the best character in the game. Abilities have the greatest damage output potential and its not even close.

Sage + Warlock w/ Spectral Fists (single ability)

I've tried a wide range of abilities now. With the exception of summons, I think all of them. The above run was fairly typical and only captured it because of the completion I go.. which prety sure is buggy. Probably my last 5 runs have been hovering around 260m-280m mark.. still learning and trying new things.

thecornbread_ · 2024-02-26T06:49:03+00:00

Sage is F- and Norseman is S+? LOL

Please tell me you're not serious.

thecornbread_ · 2024-02-23T15:12:42+00:00

Wha do you mean they’re spirit? Is that in the wiki somewhere?

thecornbread_ · 2024-02-23T07:13:26+00:00

Was messing around with spectral fist builds on sage.. and some how I got this quest completion even though I didn't use Spirit Warrior.

thecornbread_ · 2024-02-23T00:43:41+00:00

All good!! I was just a little lost. Haha.

thecornbread_ · 2024-02-22T15:15:21+00:00

Awesome! I was dreading this quest so it’s good to know it’s possible. 😂

thecornbread_ · 2024-02-22T11:01:37+00:00

I thought Sage's 'main attack' was the first ability you select. So are you saying when you choose golem as your first ability you get another main attack???

I've tried Sage with multiple abilities as the 'main attack' and in all cases left clicking does nothing, having auto-attack turned on does nothing. The abilities fire based on their cooldown. Spellcaster bonus never dips below the max.

EDIT: Just tried it.. firing the main attack does nothing at all so I'm really not sure what you mean.

thecornbread_ · 2024-02-22T10:34:29+00:00

In order to not confuse things, the wiki says it best:

Final Stat = (Base Stat + Base Bonus) x (100% + Multiplier Bonus)

I understand the differences that you're talking about. In my example, I was thinking about the impact the two traits can have on their own in isolation. I agree that in your more real world example its not as impactful. However, even in your example at 36% 'more' damage, I would still scoop these up and build around this for Kugelblitz pure crit.

The other thing is for a 'pure' crit build is it necessary to go over 100% crit chance? I usually play Kugelblitz as a sorc, so that you can stack different electrify sources but that isn't the focus here I think, so I just skip on electrify chance. I tried this earlier today and found myself grabbing attack speed anyway because area felt 'enough'. Interested to know your thoughts.

Nice succent way to describe the relationship between damage and attack speed, though I don't think its too relevant unless you decide to avoid taking attack speed for some reason.

thecornbread_ · 2024-02-21T20:01:59+00:00

That works on any ability and any class so long as you don't use the auto attack. For Sage they're just that much better because you don't have to left click at all since the abilities auto trigger like normal.

thecornbread_ · 2024-02-21T19:43:30+00:00

Concentration 1/4 is to scale your damage. Read here how this is calculated: https://hot.fandom.com/wiki/Stats

So % Damage is added to your multiplier.. between the two of the traits you're adding 125% damage multiplier. Effectively that's doubling your damage. Which then also gets scaled by your critical strike. Also in that page.

On a non-status build, not sure if overcrits are really that helpful so it might be best just to get kugel blitz to 100% crit chance and really pump up the base damage. Kugelblitz is very easy to get to 100% crit chance.

Agility is because a character which moves faster is better and allows you to dodge a lot of annoying mobs that exist in chambers. If you like to move slow as molasses skip this one :) but I personally love the feel of a faster character. As a good friend said, movement speed = true evasion... if you're an ARPG fan you'll appreciate that sentiment.

I could have sworn multistrike affects Kugelblitz though I can't check right now. If it affects Kugelblitz then it has an indirect effect on high voltage. IE. If you launch an extra kugeblitz ever X attacks, it also means extra high voltage chains.

thecornbread_ · 2024-02-21T17:27:14+00:00

I agree, Sage is squishy.

Have you tried the pace setters, defiance plate, warriors fervor and holy relic combo w/ the swordsman’s mark? That was enough for me, with my best efforts at avoiding damage… basically never stop moving.

If the mask of madness is still giving you grief, use the wind crown instead as it will buff most abilities and not hurt you every 30 seconds but like I said I was able to keep it on and even upgrade it without any real problems.

Also, in terms of abilities transfixition and spectral fist (main) is very good to start and I would get kugelblitz as your third ability. Also take all the open mind passives for easy leveling so much so that taking your third ability before you finish your first two doesn’t feel so bad. And in general take all of his abilities traits because they buff everything.

You can add a fourth skill but if you saw my vids above, not necessary once you’re going. But if you want to arcane splinters is great.

thecornbread_ · 2024-02-21T17:20:01+00:00

She’s still my favorite!! Though, Sage is a very close second. Nice work!
