    Grim Dawn

    I think I got the idea from his stream yeah, tweaked it a bunch to have more attack though. The dualwield is definitely better but at the time I had only the 2H, and no good 1H for the build, so it made sense to go with that. Dualwield is generally better just because of double components...

    Risk of Rain 2 is free to play for a few days until april 6th on Steam, rogue-like 3rd person shooter-ish game. Also HOB is free on Epic Game Store this week, been on my wishlist for a while although it had kinda mixed reception.

    Grim Dawn

    Shieldbreaker I played and it was quite fun, but I had a really good weapon(the big 2H fire mace Infernal Brimstone), I had the normal and the mythical version so it was smooth sailing even lvling. Build was a bit different than this since I was 2H but yeah works well. It can be quite fucky...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Well it's up to you, personally I had no issues buying an additional retainer when needed since the entry sub was lower than a normal mmo sub, so entry sub+retainer is about the normal sub price. But otherwise you need to remove a lot of shit I guess. I have 2 retainers atm. One has all the...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Impressions seem pretty good, combat aside(which you like or you don't but obviously it's not the original turn based ATB combat). Someone claimed it took them 50hours to clear the game completely(side content too), so doesn't seem too short either, probably ~35hours for the main story and...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    The xbox has better specs, but the specs aren't really that far apart that it'd make a massive impact. Xbox have been ahead of the playstation all of current gen too(the One is a bit better than the PS4 and the S is a much bigger jump compared to the pro) but that doesn't help your sales that...

    Grim Dawn

    Right that was the one, and so it's not piercing for this one, it's lightning. But it's mostly fire that you want to overcap. He's just pretty rough, and moving around massively reduces his damage output especially since some of his fire shit loops back to him, and you can get hit by both the...

    Grim Dawn

    I said pierce but honestly I don't remember, I think if you google it you might find, or there was a site that listed monster skills too and you can check there what's dangerous. You definitely need to kite at times even on tanky builds, it helps quite a bit. Waiting for defensive...

    Grim Dawn

    Lokarr is pretty hard yeah, the build I farmed him with still randomly died every now and then(was nightshade+inquis dual wield piercing melee stuff, although dervish might be a better setup with low gear), but I got lucky on the drops and only had to kill him like 5 or 6 times for the whole...

    Path of Exile

    The problem is they took way too long already. Nerfing the 50-80ex builds people invested in is 100% sure to get these people to quit. Not nerfing them is 100% sure to get some other people to quit. It's like not even a month in the league(or maybe it's a month I'm not sure), so that's gonna...

    JRPGs

    MMOs tend to be a very different beast and yeah Steam generally doesn't help(Path of Exile too due to their patching system for example), but that's quite the hot take to think that because a few games suck on Steam versus standalone, the whole thing is going to disapear. FFXIV isn't even bad...

    JRPGs

    It's not that uncommon, although it's not great placement. Dark Souls iirc lets you dash like that(on top of holding circle), Monster Hunter World too(but it's mostly for auto running versus holding R1 for normal dashes). It's fine for long distances but feels clunky when you have to dash a lot...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    There's not too much clicking around, although inventory management is probably a nightmare if you're the type of person who loots everything.

    Grim Dawn

    This game has shotgun mechanics so if you stand on top of stuff you can sometimes insta die. Nemesis bosses can be a pain in the ass especially since they move super fast so they can chase your down for the entire map, sucks when they spawn on the way not much you can do if you can't kill them yet.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I'm mostly considering a PS5 so I can buy the few PS4 games I'm interested in playing but don't want to play on my shitty brick PS4 with the 20hours loadings. Probably won't be buying at launch though, unless they have some interesting exclusives right away which I'm not sure will be the...

    Grim Dawn

    There's a few things that are ultimate only iirc and some zones don't scale to 100(or at least used not to) but not endgame stuff but yeah. The difference is however pretty big, you get a lot more loot in ultimate and considering how much loot you need to get to start getting sets and stuff, it...

    Anyone done with the league yet? Figure I might give it another try but would help if someone had a golem starting kit(tabula, primordial chain, primordial might, anima, primordial harmonies) or some currency like an ex or so.

    Path of Exile

    I saw a video on reddit of the 5 seals Arc shit, basically one shots all shaper guardians and seems to clear just fine too. Uses assassin+archmage stuff for big initial burst, shit looks pretty broken, it's not even the DPS that matters it's the initial damage burst. Aura stacking looks like...

    Low lvl combat you can try to sell although not worth shit. Low lvl crafting/gathering have value, can sell them to use the money to level stuff and buy them back later though and that's probably a better investment than keeping them to use once you're 80 since that's a long time away AND you...

    Grim Dawn

    Everything in ultimate scales up to 100, so you can't really outlvl anything, if stuff is higher than you it's just designed to be higher than you regardless. But yeah you'll get to the point where you can a lot more easily die even with resist capped and decent life, that's why you want 1 or 2...

    Grim Dawn

    Ultimate is definitely a big hurdle in terms of resists right away and that's why a lot of people stay in elite for a long time/forever because it's a lot harder to gear up properly in ultimate. Also you won't see that too much early on but the monsters hit a lot harder even with capped resists...

    This fucking Firefox or whatever it is bug where embedded youtube videos don't play directly without click the link to open them on youtube. Googled it yesterday and apparently it's also a problem on Chrome so not even sure what's going on.

    Overmelding gear is something that doesn't concern most people. Basically it's only useful when a new raid tier is released and only if you're pushing for full clear early. It lets you use the new crafted gear tier and overmeld it with materias to get an advantage on gearing up before you get...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It's entirely optional, but it's great to have for repairing anywhere(including mid pull if you forgot and your shit breaks) as well as crafting gear for alts since the rest of the gear usually is time gated by weekly resets and such while the crafted gear is easy to get and if you skip the...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I used to play with inverted mouse because it made the most "sense" back when I started since before FPS games I played a lot more flying simulators and stuff(Commanche and F-some number and X-wing vs Tie Fighter and so on). However I don't remember which FPS but one of them didn't have inverted...

    Monster Hunter: World

    So with the new stuff released on consoles, one interesting bit is it seems Safi basic blast weapons will be basically equal to Safi weapons. A Brachy weapon is 315 true raw with 20purple sharpness which makes it similar to a Safi with Attack VI, Attack V x2, Sharpness V x2(that's 5 true raw...

    Path of Exile

    It adds phys as chaos, orb of storms/arc don't do phys, so it doesn't do shit. Not sure where that chaos is coming from on the tooltip even, something else maybe? Unholy might is for like physical spells, BV/EK etc or the converted phys spells like wave of conviction.
  29. Pyros

    Path of Exile

    Works with spells, worth taking if you use physical spells yeah, as long as you can reliably proc it. Even without any specific chaos scaling it's still going to add decent damage.

    I somehow got all the lances already but I haven't played lance in a while, haven't upgraded them or redone my set, so far I've only done sticky LBG(which was mostly for farming, it's not finished it's like Attack III-IV in all slots instead of VI+V) and SnS, redid my armor stuff and what not...

    Base artillery is 3, if you have 4 you have the set bonus, you just, you know, need to have 5 artillery equipped. Slot in an additional deco, it only increases the cap, not the actual amount.

    Grim Dawn

    The gear has "tiers", and while at low lvl the tiers are very close to each other, as you level up they get more spaced out so that happens. I forgot the exact tiers but it's something like 50, 68, 74, 82, 94 and 100, so when your level is "inbetween" you'll get gear from the next tier you can't...

    That's how Cyclone was in PoE until Legion and the melee rework(or maybe it was the league before), so only like last year. People fucking hated it cause it felt like shit and you had to keep your cursor close to your char to do minimal spins and shit. It was terrible and I assume if they could...

    2nd health augment is shit, better use affinity, attack or elemental depending on the weapon type. I've had mixed groups, but doesn't matter too much even with bad players it's easily clearable in 2 runs like KT. It does suck that so many people don't seem to care about breaking parts at all...

    I think you could if you have the pob of that build, the medium clusters in that have an empty socket, simply add the socket then make a custom jewel that has all the stats that aren't counted in that cluster. It will be 1 point more but just remove one of the notable to balance the overall cost...

    Not sure what you mean but KT was easy too. You'll sometimes wipe because you have some real retards in your team but most of the time it's easy even in pubs with pretty bad players(as long as they heal themselves). Safi isn't much different in that regard. Big positive compared to KT though is...
