I like that the Lahn buffs came like right after I decided to switch my main to Zerker. Guess I could switch back if it's as big as you're saying.
Well, like all situations, the buffs are just "on paper" so far. On paper, Lahn looks like it'll be top tier. But, that doesn't always translate to reality. I still don't think Lahn is going to be incredible at Thornwood. She'll be solid and better obviously, but so will everybody else. She's still going to have pretty shitty AoE size and lack of frontal guards. Cybidium is the only frontal guard she really has, since the Magnus forward guard lasts all of 1-2 secs and has an 8 year cooldown. She also has the issue of her i-frame being a fucking massive stamina hog. But, I think she's going to be Top 3 pretty much everywhere outside of Thornwood and Crypt if the paper buffs translate to reality.
I'd imagine with all the changes we're getting, there will likely be a tag event(they'd be total cockfags if they don't do one). Just tag your Lahn to test it first. Mana pot helps a ton on Lahn though. It makes her feel a ton better. If you love the changes, that's when you reroll weapons.
I don't plan on enhancing my own gear outside of PEN attempts on one of my weapons (J hammers, crons). Should I just be selling off most of these things? Sharps, memories etc? It seems like I should hold onto Caphras Stones because I will need a ton in the near future.
I am still working on PENing the Jetina ring (Crescent Guardian) its currently TET. I also haven't reformed any gear outside of Kutum to level 2 for the AP which put me into the 269 AP tier. I was thinking about a Godr Awakening weapon next.
Yeah, definitely sell off black stones, sharps, hards, etc. if you don't plan on doing any enhancing. You will need some for enhancing Blackstar/Godr PEN attempts though, since they require a bit of that bullshit. I usually keep around 10-15 stones in storage and then just refresh them when I get down to around 3-5.
I wouldn't do Giants at 293, tbh. It felt slow to me when I was at 298, but feels good at 305.
You're in an odd spot, imo. You'll get basically the same money at low end spots as you will at the higher end spots you can run.
Yeah, it's a really shitty bracket to be in. Not quite high enough for a lot of the "end game" spots, but too high for a lot of mid-game stuff and Awake Witch is pretty "meh" at midgame shit, since most of it relies on movement.
I thought about doing Lower Syc, but trash doesn't really make you any money there and if you get low RNG you're looking at a terrible hour. Rhutum's would be ideal, but since the 2-flag nerf AND the trash amount nerf, it just doesn't make solid silver anymore and tends to be a lot of standing around, waiting. Saunil's is a great spot for Witch, but it's similar to Rhutum's in that it just doesn't make solid silver because of all the waiting around.
