    For those just starting or long time players who never took the time to stitch together random research posts done, below link does an excellent job of explaining a lot of the damage concepts in the game. I just read it through and learned a few things I wasn't aware myself and I've been playing...

    Wartales

    as always best comps require different classes but whats feeling like the most OP damage dealer at this point. Havent played for a while and might fire it up.

    If you have a friend willing to help, leveling up can be pretty quick. It takes me ~ 1 hr to run my wife through specific quests in the main story to complete her 15 passives/8 idol slots/+1 attributes. Thats a refined method, initially was taking me 2 hours until I learned which quests to...

    J4 definitely favors high damage burn pet builds. I wouldn't say single pet builds do extremely well in 400+ corruption relative to non pet....but just my opinion. Also definitely some solid necro builds with high pet numbers that do well, wraith dps is massive for single target and not shabby...

    Necro has more viable strong high end game builds for pets. Beast master has probably the best pet build but requires a pretty rare helm that is lvl 86 (squirrels!). I finally gave in and made one and have pretty rock solid gear in most slots and I can take J4 down pretty easy. Also can kill...

    Max resists is just the first layer, ensure you 1) Have max crit avoidance, anything < 100% you are wrong 2) Ensure you have "Apply Fraility" into your build, 18% reduced damage is no joke 3) Sacrifice what you have to to ensure % HP, flat HP and most importantly (and rare) Hybrid HP on most...

    I lvl'd as cold dot wear bear to open MP and its fine. First 20 lvls of primalist are abit slow going but as a whole it transitions well enough. I hate cold dot wear bear because my egotstical nature enjoys big numbers! I'm refining a self made spell wear bear that should be very strong to 400+...

    You can skip the campaign but the dumb thing they did was put +15 passive and +8 idol slots tied to various quests in the story. There are more passive/idol skills then max so you can just hit some of them but its spread out enough that you have to waste a decent amount of time to do the...

    Just as a gut check, if you have any concerns about the game being to easy and haven't done T4 dungeons and 400 corruption you may want to push a little further. Pretty significant jumps from face rolling non-empowered mono's to 400 corruption+ empowered mono's. J4 is extremely punishing as...

    Well minus 9 hrs of clicking to try and get in on day one and losing half of yesterday trying to get my wife into the game...so far so good! Got my spell lightning wearbear finally switched over from cold dot wear bear and am lvl 84 playing around in empowered. Still missing about 40 str from...

    Lets fucking go! After a 20 hr work day daddy is ready for some god damn time off. Think me and the wife are settled in on lightning spell bear EQ nuker + her pali javelin banner smite build. Big question is what to play when she works during the weekend...thinking either lightning blast...

    Its just a nice combination of quality designed systems without all the fancy flash of money grabbing games, it just feels like it has a soul. The crafting system and LP Unique system feels really good when it comes to gearing and driving towards min/maxing. RNG fuck you in the ass factor is the...

    There current trade strategy is pretty well thought out honestly, not saying its perfect but it does address alot of issues that other games are plagued with. Never going to stop RMT with any direct farmable currency such as gold but overall I applaud the effort. Sure they will continue to tweak...

    Last Epoch

    Keep in mind they didn't initially design the game to run as a true MP experience so there was alot of under the hood changes at every level of development. They were also a small company growing up quick. Not thrilled myself on the time its taken but I will say the game play itself has me...

    There is a pack the server event for people who register in Last Epoch (currently own the game, you can buy now as well and register). Not sure if they hit their registration limit but if you are looking to do some heavy playing during this time message me on here or in PM w/ your ingame name if...

    If I could find a rare "Infiltrator" for NES i'd pay hundreds just to take it out to a mining blast and blow it to kingdom come. Haunts me to this day....we were young kids and my brother got Castlevania for xmas and I got "Infiltrator". 100's of attempts of fucking trying to pass the first...

    Marvel's Midnight Suns

    I initially didn't get becasue of all the reviews saying it was buggy/broke. Gave it a shot a few days after and been playing a decent amount. Defintely reminds me abit of a cross between x-com and dragon age III. Been grinding missions as mentioned above. I have to admit most games I hardly...

    I think majority of the content is in. Definitely some major rebalancing probably between now and release etc but I don't think overall play experience will change drastically. End of the day the game is really centered around diverse end game grinding. Story/pre mono goes pretty quick and...

    I love LE but i really wish ARPG would find a new way to ensure long term retention and "freshness" outside of league. Much rather see a sub based game like this with introduction of new content every 3 months or something. I didn't mind POE/D3 but just never liked forced leagues. Rather have...

    Oh FFT brought me countless joy when I was young but also one of the biggest disappointments of my young life.

    I was reading people changing elements for certain classes, does your element influence stat growth on lvl up? Or just align better with certain abilities that maybe a class uses to enhance.

    Just getting into chapter 2, only 2 major complaints are the "lvl cap" and removal of the mvp bonus from original. Lvl cap just makes me want to fucking scream, I'd even be fine if it was in a few certain key fights to ensure a few random tests of pure "tactics" etc but I just hate anything...

    just 4-5 battles in but zero issues and plays smooth. My only complaint and extreme sorrow...did they remove the "MVP" bonus at the end of fights? I love games that let you have things like that to help make it abit more fun on trying to get last hits and damage to try and get a little extra...

    Tactics Ogre Reborn on steam out in 3 hours, fairly excited for this. I remember in highschool when the OG came out, sunk 100's of hours into that game. Saw the video explaining some of the improvements and looks pretty solid. Only thing i didn't like was the "world" levels, always hated...

    ya i haven't followed much as D3 just didn't really do it for me from the start and the few times I gave it another go. Grim Dawn was twice the quality of game to me just lacked online envirnment. Been planning for two years waiting patiently to throw all my time into Last Epoch but have to...

    As i said only 2nd time i'v ever dropped that type of money and definitely knew it was a gamble.

I enjoy the exploration and early days of games and also...

    Ashes of Creation

    May be in the less popular camp but normalized gear in pvp in an MMO to me is so deflating. The whole draw for MMO's for me is perpetual world where your hard work and grinds + efficiency at finding groups or ways to be more successful then others helps ultimately lead to advantages. If i wanted...

    What are you playing?

    Anyone have a good recommendation for a game to play with the wife. Looking for something perpetual to play a long time that both lends itself to the non-pro/hardcore gamer type but also has some avenues for me to truly min/max and be hyper competitive. LONGGG term will settle into Ashes of...

    Ya this is just for the 1 single final match in San Franisco, cheapest so far was 1500+ for 2 and not remotely "good" location. Probably going to say fuck it and go to a NBA game as my wife hasn't seen one yet and can drop $600 and get pretty quality seats. Really wish the whole...

    Vanguard had the best group experience for me personally. MASSIVE dungeons that had to be crawled to get to various key areas and seldomly did you "camp" because the "crawl" was time consuming and you wanted to move to different spots killing place holders etc. Plus many had sprawling quest...

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    Rift was one of my favorite MMO launches that I went hardcore on. Was about 10 of us in DROW/BOTS that pretty much got 95% of all the various server firsts across the board. The unnerfed heroic's were no fucking joke and felt so refreshing to having to figure out stuff that no one had written...
