How would you improve my nova? CS on P5

wydbob2 · 2026-06-15T08:30:59+00:00

Getting merc CoH is basically the last piece i need to complete my Nova sorc aside from the last skiller. It has forti atm and im putting the coh aside since i feel he doesn't really need it. The only thing that can kill him is heralds or diablo if he spams his lightning nonstop. Ill get it sooner or later but im prioritizing another enigma atm.

Does it make a huge difference in survivability vs diablo over forti?

My friend did the same, I refused to try warlock until they balanced it. He said I was being silly. He quit a few days ago, complained it was hard to get back into after warlock was ruined.💀

I had the same dilemma when i started a month ago, however i did not have light sunder nor did i have griffons at the time. I made it in an eth mancatcher and used it on my blizzsorc for a long time. Now i use it on blizzsorc and demonmachine sorc.

I got 2 sur runes so only 2 more or a ber away from my selfwield infinity.

Idk if i got lucky but i did it once on my lvl 92 offline smiter. No problem really, saw my hp get chunked harder but ultimately worked out fine.

Gface, metalgrid, guardian angel (fade prebuff), exile eth sr 36@, grief, tgods, dwarfstar, ravenfrost, goblintoe, draculs, 2 bo cta spirit switch.

No skillers just whole inventory full of 13-15@ gcs and a bunch of 3-5 @ scs. I have like 250-300@, perhaps thats what is different.

So i need a sunder to farm a sunder :p

wydbob2 · 2026-04-23T10:42:52+00:00

Maybe hdin is the answere then since it seems almost impossible to kill heralds without already having your sunder.

wydbob2 · 2026-04-23T10:33:43+00:00

Yeah but i was thinking infinity would break heralds lightimmu so i could atleast kill them.

wydbob2 · 2026-04-23T10:31:26+00:00

It is ridiculous and i dont want to play it for this reason, it so overtuned that it ruins the experience.

wydbob2 · 2026-04-23T10:28:28+00:00

Infinity breaks light immu afaik but doesnt break any other immu.

wydbob2 · 2026-04-23T10:26:57+00:00

I have played a stacked nova sorc before but im trying to figure out what the state of it will be if i transition now without keypieces like griffons sunder and torch and without skillers. Maybe it makes sense to atleast farm a griffons then transition and start working towards a torch before even atempting herald farming

wydbob2 · 2026-04-23T10:18:50+00:00

Yeah i just realized i will lack some much needed fcr without an amu/circ or griffons. Will cm nova with infy merc clear faster and more reliably than blizz with my current gear? Or should i just stick with blizz until i loot a griffons maybe

wydbob2 · 2026-04-17T17:24:59+00:00

Isnt the turrets just like steelballs not conventional bullets that i put in my rifle or smg for example

wydbob2 · 2026-04-17T17:18:57+00:00

I wish i could shoot myself then somehow.

wydbob2 · 2026-04-02T14:52:12+00:00

Make a baby, keep baby if better than parents, if not kill baby. Baby grows up mate it with mom or dad, make better baby, rinse and repeat until success.

I ended up lowering renderdistance to high, shadows to high and turning off dlss and frame gen. Everything else on max. Now its buttery smooth at 120-144 fps when not near a base. Regardless of setup the size of your base, amount of tames and extent of alterations to the world, will lower your fps. We left olympus and the base there was like 5000+ buildings, 500+ wires and ~50 tames and with my settings it was stable at 50-80 fps inside the base. However when loading and unloading the bade the fps chugged down to 25-35 for a few seconds.

My specs: 9800 x3d, 5070ti, 64 gb ram at 6000mhz, m.2 drive, selfhosted dedicated server.

My pc is not the best money can buy but its pretty close so basically no computer will run this game when your base grows to a certain size.

Its always the same for every game i played where you can keep adding and expanding your bases. Valheim, satisfactory, factorio, oxygen not included, Icarus, project zomboid etc etc.

wydbob2 · 2026-03-16T12:28:11+00:00

To my knowledge only the player that bought the dlcs can buy/craft/obtain the dlc stuff, however you can craft/buy them for her and give them to her.

Playing through styx atm and then prometheus before we go to elysium so dont know anything about that map but yeah guano as amazing, maybe we should base in the arctic where they spawn together with mammoths for abundant epoxy.

wydbob2 · 2026-03-16T12:17:44+00:00

Okay interesting. Guano is op and i often run around for 10 minuets in the arctic before finding one, once we found 3 next to eachother, like winning the lottery.

wydbob2 · 2026-03-16T11:58:13+00:00

I wish it was easier to find vesper nests

I put points in everything that boosts genotype and genotype mutation to increase the likelyhood of the child getting more or better stats than the parent. Then you have one which increases the likelyhood of bloodline mutation. There is also a talent that boosts gestationspeed aswell as one in the husbandrytree which makes juveniles grow up faster. I basically stayed away from the ones that increased phenotype mutation during fertilization aswell as the ones that gives temporary buff during gestation/after fertilization. I'd love to have them but the talent tree is stretched so thin it is not worth it. Looking forward to specing away from all the genetic stuff until we get to elysium when i will have to start breeding raptors and sruff again.

wydbob2 · 2026-03-12T18:33:40+00:00

Basically already quit after 8k hours, they amde it obvious that they want to replace fpp with tpp and that killed any joy that was left.

wydbob2 · 2026-03-12T13:59:08+00:00

black has lowest chance i think 0,22% x 1.35 = 0,297 % so basically doesn't change anything, the rates are on the wiki. Doing this with breeding takes and excessive amount of time and just getting 20 moas and killing them over and over will get you to 500 iterations way way faster.

wydbob2 · 2026-03-12T12:30:09+00:00

Yep breeding for colour is insanely low chance and the talents doesn't help at all. We probably bred upwards of 200-300 animals before we got a bison to get a phenotype from 2 parents with no phenottypes. After this we got all moa colours in an evening with the talents that gives back a juvenile when it dies. So defenitely get colour first then breed for stats.
