You should only worry about bd buff after 48 slasher

#

Before that the build does not function

twin wren
#

Is sunstroke or the stance change affected by ping?

#

Something doesn't feel right

odd dagger
#

hm?

vivid robin
#

so how does the new class compare to bm? idk if i'd switch but it looks cool monkaS

#

also is puncture still relevant cause i'm too broke to switch ;p

unique valley
vivid robin
#

i bet they made it aoe too

unique valley
vivid robin
#

@unique valley can purple books be exchanged 1:1 for other books now? i read something somewhere

twin wren
unique valley
#

now BMs will learn how BDs feel 😂

vivid robin
#

but idk how it plays, it looks kinda slow paced/there isn't much gameplay i can find

unique valley
#

I think its worth switching if you just want to farm anything and everything

vivid robin
#

just don't wanna mess up my dps going from punct, unless playing optimally on this new class is ez

unique valley
vivid robin

#

Surely bm will get more buffs

#

Just need to wait 4 months more

unique valley

#

There are new badges already?

twin wren

#

Possibly rank 1

vivid robin
#

gotta say with some hours on lancer I think I prefer bm punct's mobility/critrate/block/sustain

astral tendon
#

In his mind shockwave is a build

#

So understandable

#

dumbpepe lightning bd is the best overall class rank 1 no doubt

#

It deals slightly less damage compare to wind kfm but miles ahead in msp

covert cedar
#

Lightning bd top tier?

#

You can also macro the hell out of it

#

So 0 stress

#

Unlike wind kfm, you still gotta climb stages and have 2 mandatory blue books

unique valley
#

lightning bd still buggy and lacks versatility. higher in dps but still flawed gameplay

#

and noone should definitely need a vpn, macro, cloudpc/nasa pc just to spam two skill animations

#

at least anyone can play bm manually and it still feels great

young cedar
#

yoo, guys 1 question what do u think is better 120gm hs/18gm stone slash or 90gm hs/48gm stone slash?

odd dagger
#

102 gm 30 stone

#

black dragon is the only thing u really care about , 48 is only useful after u have gone to diminishing returns on HS stacking like 180+

dapper hedge
#

if the class is so bad to play

unique valley
astral tendon
astral tendon
#

Idk, puncture is not viable with non ahk pixel reading macro for the longest time before dawncrest dumbpepe

sick bison
#

there is not a single spec that uses macro that is worse to play than puncture

#

horrible in msp, if you optimize you dc, if you move you dc

#

ping spike and it's over

astral tendon
#

Lightning is technically playable manual but not optimal

#

And if lightning bm is considered manually playable so does lightning bd

#

Now is ok with mouse macro but dc issue is still therebns_bursting

astral tendon
young cedar
#

if i do the 30gm stone slash i will have 108gm hs

astral tendon
young cedar
astral tendon
#

Then yeah get 30 and finish the last one once you have close to 165 stacks

You back? @somber kiln

you go the build you have fun with bns_sad

Sometimes the fun builds are the ones you want to work 😔

<,<

#

@astral tendon did you compare DT to Punture to HS?

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe guess is possible

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe 40mins after 12 ppl grouped.

odd dagger
#

ez

#

kr needed 33k sf to clear that

astral tendon
#

meanwhile cn server cleared day 2 without class buff

#

dumbpepe too many whales

#

even tw server was week 2 i think

#

week 1 was only b2

astral tendon
#

We have a key this week, funny enough next week corridors will take longer

#

dumbpepe bullsh1t design

dapper hedge
#

Give us back key farm with corridors

astral tendon
#

And that’s with 1 or 2 dead pretty early in the first 2 mins

odd dagger
#

yea u guys seemed to have soo much room

#

on that clear

astral tendon
#

I was chilling most of the fight pepehehe

odd dagger
#

crossing into 0 focus kekdoge

dapper hedge
scenic badge
#

so HS will always remain the strongest build?

odd dagger
#

no

#

always is weird word when hs spend more than half its lifetime being unviable

astral tendon
#

Is viable after legs dumbpepe

faint marlin
#

i wanna ask, heavenly said it can reset cd of FOB if have 18 stack grandmaster , but what happen if i use bladecall? its still reset cd of bladecall? or just reset cd FOB?

astral tendon
#

No

#

dumbpepe only for flock

faint marlin
somber kiln
#

Bruh I moved from DT to slasher with like 80ms and im feeling liberated

#

Sure DT got a buff but its still lacking

#

The main thing that would make kt better was violent blade being available on DT use

#

But being able to jump back into your rotation so easily plus with aoe

#

Is amazing

#

Thank god for this class exchange voucher 😭

honest haven
astral tendon
#

dumbpepe hs you kind still need to buff yourself nowadays since bd damage is more

#

Now

#

But at least is not required

somber kiln
#

Plus it gives me max boost

astral tendon
#

Dt is sh1t to tank with

somber kiln
#

I hope they just continue to buff it, DT was giving me such a hard time at 80ms

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe easiest tanking spec is still puncture

somber kiln
#

Eh

astral tendon
#

Even tho the damage is crap nowadays

somber kiln
#

I hate macros and idk bout min maxing damage specs

#

But i heard punc changed jts playstyle?

astral tendon
#

Is just with the max boost change the ahk pixel reading macro is not required anymore

honest haven
# astral tendon But at least is not required

yea thats kinda the annoying thing about dt, get an unfortunate knock down and you can mess up your rotation or something. I do like the dt animation but draw stance is too punishing for casual play

astral tendon
#

And apparently with some technology you can do like 4 puncture per second if you skip tab

somber kiln
#

I honestly wish punc played like how we spamming hs

#

Get bd up and just hold it down

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe with the new change you can do breeze and puncture and just lmb rmb spam

somber kiln
#

The rotation just feels so janky

astral tendon
#

It cost 0 focus

honest haven
#

I do like that hs requires some bd management tho

#

would be too broken otherwise, even tho its kinda ez

somber kiln
#

Eh honestly

#

I dont see a hige drop off

#

Then again

honest haven
#

its like 30% dps loss for me

somber kiln
#

My gear is low since im now returning

#

I parse 160k on mushin dummy, i got a long ways

astral tendon
#

By doing the calculation yourself right

#

That figure

honest haven
#

I was battling asura alone the other day just to test it

#

I noticed it a lot then

astral tendon
#

Strictly compare bd vs non bd should be close to 40% damage

#

dumbpepe but then during stone is like doubled

honest haven
#

o yea if u get 30 stone it should be huge too

#

probably best at my point to go for 2 leggy stone now than >90 hs right

somber kiln
#

Well they said earlier to just get 30gm stone and then dump on hs till 156?

honest haven
#

I just have 1 leggy tho

#

but I guess stone is more beneficial than another leggy hs

#

until 30 at least

somber kiln
#

Yeah i had to dump into some purple stones to get 30

#

I only have leggy hs

#

1

honest haven
#

was gonna do that but its so many purple books

somber kiln
#

Well i used the class change route since I was swapping from DT

honest haven
#

don think its worth until u get leggys tbh

#

I'm at 119% hs dmg now

#

at 90 stacks

#

will 30 stack stone really be worth 6 purple

somber kiln
#

Ah im only 60gm hs and 30gm stone

honest haven
#

it will probably make your rotation much smoother tho

somber kiln
#

Yeah, the 10s is pretty huge on 4 at 30gm

#

I can still swap one more leg

#

Going for the 2 randos from the 100g box

honest haven
#

thats so risky x)

#

we have so many leggys

#

for lancer I get it but

#

12.5% chance for hs

#

uff

somber kiln
#

No i can swap one of the rando leggies bc i got some leftover vouchers from the class change

honest haven
#

can you class swap to your own class?

somber kiln
#

And hoping the other is a good skill

#

Or buy more vouchers

honest haven
#

I thought it was only to other classes

somber kiln
#

Had to buy another clsss change kit

honest haven
#

ah

somber kiln
#

And I can reroll bm books with the swap, i got 5 days left

#

As long as i got enougg of the vouchers

honest haven
#

5 days for what? 😮

#

is there a time limit to swap

somber kiln
honest haven
#

ic

somber kiln
#

It can only be the same school books though

scenic badge
#

Wondering if I should stay tds or move to hs before my hours are up for converting leg books 😭

somber kiln
#

From DT

#

I actually quit bc of it

#

HS wins in the convenience regard

#

But idk about damsge compared to lightnimg

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe with future updates of 3 line soul shields tds would be a bit better since tds benefit from block the most

#

But again wouldn’t say they instantly jumped above hs due to how ez hs is to play

somber kiln
#

Hmmm

odd mantle
#

im back to puncture when tab comes out

#

if i last that long heeeeeeeeeeeh

astral tendon
#

Funny enough it’s not even that big of a boost from either gm or pure numbers on multiplier

#

Dev really hate puncture for being an op purple back in mw

#

Similar fate with wind bd

#

Wind bd is trashed harder

odd mantle
#

maybe ill save enough gold and go thunder if focus still feels bad with it

#

if only it was skill point positive on crit tab, neutral is the best we get

astral tendon
#

It somewhat solve the focus issue cos is +1 from crit tab instead of +0

somber kiln
#

Yeah punc had to gooooo

#

I just hope they dont gut HS

#

Which they like to do

#

Break perfectly good specs

somber kiln
#

Its that big?

#

Like keeping bd up as much as possible?

#

Using 4V and tab off cd?

astral tendon
#

the non bd ap per hit is 7.8 i think

#

bd is +3

#

uh 8.8

#

so actually 35%

#

not close to 40

#

is 8.8 per hit vs 11.8 per hit

scenic badge
#

ima stay tds bns_phew

somber kiln
#

case and point why i needed to switch lmao

odd mantle
#

history erased 🦀

faint marlin
#

is this enchant for heavenly too?

silver moth
#

no

somber kiln
#

You only get it at sacred

faint marlin
#

ah kk, thank you for the explanation

warm torrent
#

does someone have a yast for slasher build?

uneven kernel
#

KR badges AP bonus, Virtuos 4-19, sacred 22-73, dawn 82-244, depending on upgrade

odd dagger
#

they added ap to older bad levels

Hello, what would be the best Heroic and Legendary skillbook to choose if I were to change my character to Blade Master?
I got no knowledge of BM build...just played very briefly BM during covid period and that was about it so any advice would be sincerely appreciated! Thanks!

astral tendon
#

Covid period?

#

The game does not exist during that

#

Live and Neo are different

manic pivot
vivid robin
manic pivot
vivid robin
#

might not be a selectable actually

#

i think its random i forgot bns_nervous

#

good luck

#

alternatively u can make another class, pick your random book there, do a free class switch and select the book

#

since u can convert a random skill into a selectable box

manic pivot
#

will do thanks a lot!!

honest haven
# manic pivot will do thanks a lot!!

I'm playing slasher right now and I only got 1 legendary slasher, if u grind gold u can probably afford a leg selector by the end of battle pass, build works fine with just that for now

#

oh and u need a purple flock of blades ig

#

but your free legendary could also help inform what to pick if you like that playstyle

#

otherwise if u dont have any leggys, 48 purple should be enough with flock to make it play fairly well

#

and I guess a searing slash

manic pivot
#

i think i can get 2 purples skillbook from achievement and soul event as well! can you please recommend me the skillbooks to select for Purple Heroice skillbook plz?

honest haven
#

well tell me all books u have first

#

and the ones u can change

#

if u have like 10+ purple books it should be fine

#

if u got a leggy book its also good

#

ideally u want to hit the grandmaster milestones

#

under 48 with purple alone makes it rough'

manic pivot
#

I dont have any yet...

honest haven
#

did u get your legendary book?

manic pivot
#

I will create a random class and switch to BM

#

so I can use the free ticke to select the legendary book

honest haven
#

yep thats smart

manic pivot
#

and I was told that I can get 2 free Purple books as well

#

so for legendary, I should get Heaven Slasher yeah?

#

but which ones should I get for the 2 x purple heroic ones?

honest haven
#

u get a selector purple for free yea, save that for the bm, so you'll have one purple at lvl 50 and one at 58 I guess

#

from achievement

manic pivot
#

and also one from the soul boost

honest haven
#

I guess u should create a lancer then cuz it has few purple books

#

higher chance for a good lancer book

#

at lvl 50

#

then use that to lvl up

#

also high chance for good legendary book

#

2/3 I believe

manic pivot
#

what do you mean?

honest haven
#

they have 3 legendary books

#

4 and lmb are good

manic pivot
#

oh I see

honest haven
#

so if u want to go bm, and need purples

odd dagger
#

4 is kinda useless on DL

honest haven
#

getting there would be easiest as lancer

odd dagger
#

until u get 48/48

manic pivot
#

because it is a new class, it has less selection, therefore higher chance of getting a better book

honest haven
odd dagger
#

yea

honest haven
#

hm

manic pivot
#

but I doubt I can level up that fast ...the event will end soon no?

odd dagger
#

you can lvl up pretty fast this patch

#

finishing story puts u at 53~

#

55 in like 2 days of train

#

if u can find a good clan

#

58 in a week or less

honest haven
#

oh yea, I guess if ur swapping anyway, u can use the selector from soul boost to get lmb as well since ur gonna swap anyway

#

in case the legendary sucks

manic pivot
odd dagger
#

although if u are confident in ur ability to grind. u could jst instantly swap to slasher

#

gm 18 leggy slasher can easily go through msp

honest haven
#

thats true ig, would miss out on 2 purples tho

odd dagger
#

u have 7 days to swap skills

#

even after switching

manic pivot
honest haven
#

I was 18 slasher for a few days before I got the 10 purples from battle pass

#

at lower dungeons it was fine but yeti etc was really rough, was like lvl 68 or smth

#

it should definitely be fine for regular content tho

#

then if you get battle pass by eventually selling gold, you can get 10 purple selectors

#

which would roughly get you to where I'm at rightn ow

#

minus the levels

manic pivot
#

awesome thank uuuu

honest haven
#

be sure to stack crit rate

manic pivot
#

just wanted to play the game for fun haha enjoying regular contents is all i wanted 😛

honest haven
#

helps with the focus regen

manic pivot
honest haven
#

well your accessories, psyches, soul shield (I believe you get 8 double crit ones for free in the current event in dragon express), and crit primers / psyches on soul shields as well

#

but for now just do the story and use those accessories

honest haven
#

weeklies should get u some, dungeons drop it too

manic pivot
#

ohh okok haha gotta do the story mode first

honest haven
#

primers u craft so make sure u get the soul wardens guild

manic pivot
#

ohh okok will do thanks!

honest haven
#

gl!

manic pivot
somber kiln
#

So

#

Just to confirm

#

I have 72gm Slasher (leg) and 30gm stone (purple) i can grind to swap out 1 leg but which should I choose?

#

Should I just stack into slasher?

odd dagger
#

you should get 1 leggy stone

somber kiln
#

Hmmm

#

Ok

#

Unfortunately, I'll be 6gm short of the 48

#

Unless I swap a slasher to reach it

odd dagger
#

are u running 5 purple stones or what

#

u shouldnt go 48 stone

somber kiln
#

Ok

odd dagger
#

b4 u are 150+ slashers

somber kiln
#

Stay at 30 and swap out the other stones for has huh?

odd dagger
#

yes

somber kiln
#

Ok bc it will take me to 42

#

I can get the 84gm on slasher that way

#

And 30gm

#

Stone

#

Both leg

odd dagger
#

oh, u are already at 1 leggy stone?

#

or 0

somber kiln
#

0 stone
2x slasher

#

I have a honed slash im working on swapping out

odd dagger
#

yea definitely get 1 stone

#

then

somber kiln
#

Kk

somber kiln
#

Keep 30

odd dagger
#

yes

#

we just want it to be leggy and gm 30 for 10 sec BDR , higher AP mod and focus recovery

astral tendon
#

The real diminishing return kicks in from 165

#

So assuming all leg books 156 is the point to stop

#

dumbpepe before that get more slasher would be better

somber kiln
#

Or 30 purple is good enough

astral tendon
#

1 leg 1 purple is alright

somber kiln
#

Werent they gonna give us back the gms on the initial book?

#

Didnt seem to work for me

astral tendon
#

18gm

somber kiln
astral tendon
#

Not worth with 3 more slots

warm torrent
#

what skills are usually used to apply black dragon buff for heavenly slasher?

astral tendon
#

Stone slash and sun stroke

warm torrent
#

is blade call worth it?

somber kiln
#

Blade call doesnt do anything really for slasher

somber kiln
astral tendon
#

You can do some calculation the bd damage increase is around 35% the extra 4 seconds increase the up time by like 10%

#

So in an ideal world you do 35% more damage in 10% of the time

#

So 3.5% increase

#

18 stacks surely gives you more than 3.5% increase

warm torrent
#

for stoneslash, do i need the legendary book or is 30 gm ok too?

somber kiln
quiet otter
#

So, ppl be saying punct is bis now cause you just need to lmb rmb now

astral tendon
#

Is only the case for 2 type of ppl

#

Mega new skill stacker, so they mainly deal damage from the new skill minimum 48 preferably over 100

#

Or technology users so you can use puncture 3 times/seconds

#

For normal player going lmb rmb although you can slot off focus skill, you are missing 15% and later 20% crit rate

sick bison
#

What did I miss, how is lmb rmb even viable?

#

And isn’t the new skill locked behind CD anyway, so getting it faster does nothing if both builds get max stacks within the cd

astral tendon
#

So it’s more consistent with triggering the skill

#

Tbh is only really bis for technology users

#

3 puncture per sec would out weight the missing crit rate especially when you have max cards

#

And is more chance to trigger new skills off cd

quiet otter
#

wdym technology users?

astral tendon
#

The forbidden technique of having more count

sick bison
astral tendon
#

If you run breeze is +2 focus from lmb, -2 from rmb net 0

#

And some tw guy already get working macro on 3 hits per sec

#

Remove fissure and falcon, is 2 more slots for new skills

sick bison
#

oh lol that's wild

gilded thistle
#

The issue is getting the new skill multiple times

sick bison
#

yeah unless they bless us with another transfer cycle, it'll be rough

#

how is it even obtained, lol

gilded thistle
#

8 legendary pages, 500g, 5% chance to get the item to transmute it, 95% to get a random legendary box

astral tendon
#

The reason why I f2p basically

#

If the rate is not an abysmal 5 I’d prep for leg book and get transcendent weapon by now

gilded thistle
#

Unless they make it more accessible, it seems like none will go after it

astral tendon
#

That skill actually equalised a lot of class to a degree

gilded thistle
#

Thats hardly the way to go about balancing though

astral tendon
#

Cos once fully stacked up, is like 60% of your damage and it is the same for every class

#

So the actual class diff is only the remaining 40%

sick bison
#

yeah doesn't seem worth considering with the current acquisition method

#

how does lmbrmb puncture compare without the new skill, if we assume 3x per sec

astral tendon
#

Don’t think anyone actually tested it

odd dagger
#

3x per sec seem insane

#

thats hs level count

astral tendon
#

Is still 6 hits per second

odd dagger
#

while having 10% cr

astral tendon
#

3lmb 3rmb

sick bison
#

I'll run some macro tests, I've got an alt bm account with leggy punc, see if I can figure out if 3/s is viable without going too deep into machinery

astral tendon
#

Is not without technology

odd dagger
#

prolly need chinese technology

astral tendon
#

Not even Chinese technology help on that

#

But you still have limit

odd dagger
#

puncture caps at 2.5/s even if u jst spam it by itself.

sick bison
#

yeah chinese still uses pixels, but the find pattern is MS intensive, 3x per second is kinda rough

odd dagger
#

well advanced chinese technology

gilded thistle
#

It's impossible to go 3 rotations /sec with lmb tab rmb and staying online for more than 20 seconds

odd dagger
gilded thistle
#

what was it i missed it

astral tendon
gilded thistle
#

ngl i miss my puncture bm

#

tons of damage is good and all from pokey boi

astral tendon
#

Was only that in mw

gilded thistle
#

but the bm kit is just too good

sick bison
#

don't lie to yourself

#

puncture was hell

#

punished for optimization

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe slasher bm have everything or can have everything but damage

gilded thistle
#

i had no optimization problems

sick bison
#

having to optimize walking

gilded thistle
#

kekw

#

i just adapted to not moving

#

or minimum movement

astral tendon
#

Even that you still poof

gilded thistle
#

the night i swapped i was dced while standing still during raid

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe that being said every boss should have threat mech

gilded thistle
#

Just 4slot all gear and slam leggy mantras

#

its amazing that you can do anything if you spend 100k in the game

astral tendon
#

My gear will never reach gold line sorry about that

#

Is not possible

gilded thistle
#

It is if you're willing to spend but is it worth it?

#

nope

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe I mean I lost my will to spend

sick bison
#

being a BM will do that

#

constant struggle for sub par results

astral tendon
#

I played 30k sf bd

#

Easier dogging more braindead game play and more damage

#

2.1k ap

sick bison
#

also far more forgiving with ping on counts

#

infinite crit rate so dps retention is all there for high content

#

no dc

#

buffed with new leggy

gilded thistle
#

but its a lynn class

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe the only thing missing is 5x daze but that you can do poharan and 1 daze

gilded thistle
somber kiln
#

Jin supremacy

astral tendon
#

And range protection but is not like other bm outside of hs have it

odd dagger
#

but even then

#

bm can do poh + daze

#

without having to drop or put any skill books

#

most classes dont have access to free cc

somber kiln
#

What i like bout slasher is the hits per second
My measly 360 life steal is putting im decent work

odd dagger
#

only 2 high cc classes rn are bm and destro

astral tendon
#

Bd have inbuilt double kd

#

Without any book

odd dagger
#

kd everyone has

#

issue comes for dazes and stuns

sick bison
#

bd has already killed the boss while BM is dazing it

odd dagger
#

yea gl killing anything when mechs specifically need these ccs

sick bison
#

indeed, if only we had content where there's more than 1 person in the party, that we could allocate different roles to, so that we wouldn't have to do everything on our own

#

one can dream

#

could call it "party content" or something like that

odd dagger
#

its still not enough

#

cause u need to slot in so many books/cores to achieve the same thing

somber kiln
#

Full on shotcalling for a poh run

#

Nice nice

odd dagger
#

assinging the role to a single person is a lot more easier.

sick bison
#

Running a utility belt to slot those skills, and you'd still outdps BM

odd dagger
#

it takes

#

4 people

#

to do what bm can do

quiet otter
#

I told you all you'll regret going hs

odd dagger
#

if one of them fk up

#

gg u failed it

sick bison
#

well, I guess we can just get someone delusional enough to main BM into the party then, if someone wants to base their entire gameplay experience on that one instance, that's their privilige

odd dagger
#

bms are important to have in raids

#

so far they have insane utility for both b2 and b3

#

any pt without bm suffers so hard

gilded thistle
#

Also more than likely you are immortal unless one shotted

sick bison
#

without a doubt, all I'm saying is that no one is seriously considering that as a factor when they decide on their main class, unless they are very dedicated to their non changing static that desperately needs that one role

odd dagger
#

the class in undoubtedly the most fluid gameplay class.

somber kiln
odd dagger
#

the only thing it lacks rn is being not top tier dps

#

i dont think thing dmg should really be the main factor for maining a class

#

cause one patch u could be the best

#

and next patch the bottom tier

#

You could be the shittiest dps and you would probably still get carried in dungeon thx to HMB privileage.

# somber kiln Why? 😂

This new punct thingy ppl been trying, if they ever add aoe to it, it's gonna be gg for other builds

sick bison
#

I quit BM mainly due to puncture being so ass to play and optimize, with all the issues

somber kiln
sick bison
#

did not enjoy HS like I liked punc as a concept

#

so I just rolled after testing HS

somber kiln
#

HS is best for me bc of ping

#

And macros can take a hike

odd dagger
#

Scrajj kinda weird though cause u jst swapped to 16m HS

sick bison
#

Yes, and I do not enjoy it

#

I'd rather play shadow WL or light BD, light as it's closer to BM that I liked

#

and shadow as I loved maining it

somber kiln
#

Yeah tbh
Not sure the reason why not to rn, convenience

sick bison
#

waiting for class books to finish to see where I'll go

somber kiln
#

Especially with the class change

#

But

sick bison
#

unless they actually make 4 lmb a solid build on DL

#

I'll just dip probably

somber kiln
#

To each their own
I was fire all the way when punc was bis

gilded thistle
#

It is a bit rough to play around

#

but i'll give it time since its something new

sick bison
#

if they just made 4 double cast on hit and not crit, crit is 90% of my issues with this game, I hate it when I can't do a rotation because of crit rate

gilded thistle
#

and coming from puncture bm i feel like im on a wheelchair

sick bison
#

I'm fine with losing dps, just let me play normally and not punish me for not having insane cards

#

I'm fine even with the CC and positioning risk, as long as my own gameplay is what determines rotation success

#

and not rng crits

#

I'm good

gilded thistle
#

Ah yeah that sucks

#

last night i had a 30% overall crit rate on bt boss 2 about halfway through the fight

#

next pull i had 60%

#

that's way too random

sick bison
#

yeah the variance is just wild

gilded thistle
sick bison
#

I've had the same level of variance, somehow only on DL

quiet otter
#

DL has one problem, sucks for tanking which you will most of the time since even a trash lancer will steal aggro

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe how many actual bm we have here

quiet otter
#

Not enough

odd dagger
#

BM at heart

astral tendon
#

Does that not enough telling of how sh1t the class is

#

If the class is that good, why nobody play

odd dagger
#

eh

#

there is soo many bms

quiet otter
#

And yet ppl beg for hmb at every dungeon

odd dagger
#

that i had to swap off the class

#

to get some decent wb rankings

#

its probably the 3rd most populated class

#

BD > FM > BM

gilded thistle
#

tldr is fook NCKr for shafting bm

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe almost non of them are raid level

odd dagger
#

everyone in top 10 can do atleast b2 Worrythink

gilded thistle
#

Did a run with Senso last night, he's pumping hard

#

His ap skyrocketed with the upgrades he did

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe I mean yeah, a 2.1/2k bd will pump more

gilded thistle
#

meh pikachus

astral tendon
#

Or kfm

gilded thistle
astral tendon
#

Spear probably take like 2.3 to pump more

gilded thistle
#

i was thinking about wind kfm but saying goodbye to msp is not something im willing to go through

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe are you still farming msp

gilded thistle
#

Have you checked my badges? XD

astral tendon
#

Guess I’m too out of date in term of latest news

#

I mean

gilded thistle
#

im doomed to farm

astral tendon
#

I haven’t login this week

gilded thistle
#

i mean, i barely log as well, nightreign with friends is too damn good this time of the year

#

i'll fall behind but i don't really mind

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe I’m still playing dw origin

#

I also need to finish gooning stellar blade at some point

somber kiln
astral tendon
#

I’m still bm

somber kiln
somber kiln
#

The game is inna decent spot rn for me

#

Before it used to have me stressing

#

But they semi fairly compensate you for your time playing

#

Spent a whole week earning gold and mats, just to not make any progress on gear bc of rng

valid cradle
somber kiln
#

Moonwater was hell for me

astral tendon
#

Lightning bd benefited less

vivid robin
#

i wanna go back to puncture spec but i have 18ms now and i'm scared of 133's

#

i never had a dc before tho

gilded thistle
#

As long as you don't move too much while holding you'll be fine

#

too much as in more than 5 seconds while holding

#

it always depends on the number of inputs of your macro though

vivid robin
#

i probably never dc'd cause its optimized for like 50ms XD

gilded thistle
#

I've seen the code on that one, you can reduce the amounts of send lines and have a wider window to move

#

but still can't move freely, i remember people with it were still going poof

#

but 18ms

#

I kinda miss my puncture bm aswell

vivid robin
#

yea i changed to full fibre from semi fibre

gilded thistle
#

but now i have to farm so much gold to swap back

vivid robin
#

25-30 to 18

#

i'm still weighing slasher? i just don't like the idea of just holding rmb and losing out on all the potential crit % from the other build

#

i'm undergeared so it was nice

gilded thistle
#

Slasher is far stronger and more convenient to grind but i don't really fancy its playstyle

vivid robin
#

yea..

#

wondering if builds with the new tab get rid of cyclone in the rotation

#

wait whats your ping chifu?

gilded thistle
gilded thistle
vivid robin
#

u must of had your mac way more tuned than mine if u dc'd before qq

gilded thistle
#

I had a good testing ground at the time

#

making it work at 100% while staying online in ssg

#

peak content

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe haven’t play puncture for god know how long

#

I mean I didn’t even play hs that much

#

Yesterday was the first login of the week and it was for raid

#

dumbpepe log off immediately after raid

vivid robin
#

swear u have stupid low ping nanaya

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe is 13-14 not low

#

Certain individuals have 2 pings

#

Those are low

vivid robin
#

thats diabolical

astral tendon
#

He is like 20km from the server hosting data center

#

Few German guys have single digit ping

#

Double dight are all considered dogsh1t ping compare to those bns_bursting

vivid robin
#

i have this weird issue with i assume exitlag

gilded thistle
#

It'll be a pain in the ass to fine tune but once you get it right you'll be chilling

vivid robin
#

when i type in party/world, my message goes through 50% of the time

#

that normal?

#

like i have to repeat send it

#

don't remember it happening before

gilded thistle
#

new feature

vivid robin
#

guessing we won't get the new leg tab before the class change thing disappears

gilded thistle
#

Yeah, that kinda sucks

#

They should have left the paid one up in f10 forever

vivid robin
#

guess i could go for that leg selection chest instead of 2 legendaries

somber kiln
#

Glad the game got a lot of viable options

#

Dont think any spec is completely bad right?

#

Oh, what about pierce?

#

Hear no talks about that

sick bison
#

not much to talk about

#

no legendary

crude dock
#

I don't really understand the puncture dc thing. I ran circles all day in msp (15-20 ms) holding down puncture macro before I class changed and only ever dc'd once. And that single dc wasn't even in msp, it was months ago in bbr. I do use exitlag but idk if that makes any difference.

#

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, just that it's weird

#

haven't had any dc doing the same thing on shadow wl either, which spams even harder since it doesn't need timing

sick bison
#

this doesn't happen in MSP

#

it only happens in dungeons

#

or on dummy with very low ping and constant movement

#

and if your counts aren't perfect, you won't get close to DCing

crude dock
#

I can try on the dummy later just for science, but I do recall nanaya complaining about it happening in msp when he played puncture. It doesn't really matter though, just kinda of curious if it is a some weird internet routing to server issue, or if I am having a (positive in this case) skill issue.

sick bison
#

pretty sure nanaya's counts were the highest of anyone when he dced in msp

#

if you have regular perfect counts of 2/2/2 it won't happen in msp

#

will happen in dungeons though

#

personally never dced on dummy, as I never just tried moving there, but happened in dungeons all the time

crude dock
#

maybe my puncture macro was just bad then lmao

#

since I made it myself

#

can't fix it now though since not bm anymore

sick bison
#

yeah most people didn't run an optimized macro, so it never was an issue

#

if you pushed for max counts, you'd get punished with a DC

crude dock
#

well either way, that's pretty dumb

#

to be expected from nc though I guess

astral tendon
#

I actually never complained msp bns_bursting

#

Or at least almost never

#

Idk how many session I have in msp with puncture

#

Don’t think i had dc issue

crude dock
#

maybe I'm just a schizo then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

astral tendon
#

Was only in dungeons, dummy if intentional and some rare cases wb

#

Back in the day was worse cos tree ssg, later in sf garden all require stupid amount of momentdumbpepe

honest haven
#

any1 got a yast for purple light bm?

#

thinking to convert an alt to a bm but without sacred badge hs is kinda meme right

#

was gonna buy some cheap purples and convert one alt so what are the goals to aim for?

#

already got a couple hs alts so I was thinking I'd try smth else

honest haven
#

or perhaps getting 18 hs is enough lul

astral tendon
#

Hs without 48 is pretty crap in every way imaginable dumbpepe

#

Lightning tbh is also pretty sh1t without bd from stone slash

#

dumbpepe I have a purple lightning and it’s not that fun to play, especially for lightning you also need scared mystic badge

silk beacon
#

and if u dont crit

#

say goodbye to focus

silver moth
#

If i have 🦵 stone slash, then 30gm give 16s or it just stay in 10s?

gilded thistle
#

10 seconds

silver moth
#

Trash class

somber kiln
#

so uh

#

do Mystic badges just dont do anything for hs?

#

or is it considered a "pierce"

raven dragon
#

wtb trash leg skills pm me

quiet otter
silver moth
#

Virtuous is trash

quiet otter
#

Dawn is kinda trash too, same stats just 82ap bonus

#

I mean for the amount of gold you need to invest to get that extra ap, seems like i rather just upgrade insignias instead

#

Unles you alrerady +10 on sacred

#

Then is just one tap away

somber kiln
silver moth
#

silver frost mountain badge, idk what u guys call it

somber kiln
#

ok i see at the bottom

it states the "pierce series"

silver moth
#

yep

somber kiln

but thats all it does for Hs? lmao

dapper hedge
#

The slasher twink is alive CatDance

#

Whoops forgot ye

#

But hey it works quite good on purple

#

Atleast against lvl 60 targets

astral tendon
#

Real issue came when crit rate go sh1t

#

But msp should be fine either way cos more mobs

woven lagoon
#

hi guys that soul bad for bm slasher? thanks

dapper hedge
#

Yeah msp 0 issues tbh on single target i rarely run out of focus aswell

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe 🐳

woven lagoon
#

soul badge*

astral tendon
#

I run out of focus on leg hs with 65%+ crit rate

#

With weapon and mantra focus recovery pepehehe

dapper hedge
dapper hedge
#

Virtuous badge suck on slasher bm

astral tendon
#

Both badges are useless for hs before sacred

dapper hedge
#

If you grab one sun stroke it is i guess

woven lagoon
#

i got virtuour soul badge from quest it selection + 5 i just dont know what is good for slasher build

odd dagger
#

sunstroke is the only useful one,yea

astral tendon
dapper hedge
#

Yeh i mean purple sunstroke every 24 secs

#

That's why i pushed soul badge to sacred kekw

#

But game fkd me tho had to pity +8 and the +9 until 95%

woven lagoon
#

thank you guys

rapid jolt
#

anyone know if this same % to trigger the orb for all HS, puncture, DT, and TDS?

odd dagger
#

its kinda irrelevent after the 10sec cd change

#

u will always have 5 orbs up

obsidian steeple
#

buff bm, bm weak

astral tendon
#

Tds May not

#

Hs will always have it, puncture mostly will always have it as well

rancid pelican
#

I want to change class from fire KFM to BM. Is it better to have 30 GM Stone Slash and the rest Heavenly Slasher or just Full Heavenly Slasher? I only have 1 leg.

dapper hedge
#

Would look like this then i guess

#

I guess rather go with only 1 stone slash or you lose too much gm on hs

#

@astral tendon

#

What do you say sweating

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe no point to have stone slash if it is not legendary

#

If you have 1 legendary stone slash, there is an argument if you want to go 30 with purple or not

#

Without at least 1 legendary stone slash there is no point

dapper hedge
#

True i guess only gets worth it if you get close on 165 gm on hsdumbpepe

rancid pelican
#

aight will stack on heavenly slasher then,I saw montu using that build on his alt

somber kiln
#

Now got me wondering if bothering with the 18gm or just stack another hs lol

#

Idk

astral tendon
#

If you have 1 leg then is fine for 18pepehehe but depends on your hs stacks I guess

wind merlin
#

hmm, back in the day i was using pixel on puncture. 120+ lmb/tab and 430-+ punctures. Not as good as your fancy stuff for sure, but i never had dcs etc . Weird . Then again im a pleb anyway.

#

HS is just ez for msp. It will never be meta imo. And that new skill. Yeah gl gambling

somber kiln
#

Both ate legs

somber kiln
#

But my biggest attraction to it

#

I randomly get 120+ms even with exitlag

#

Gameplay isnt that impaired even at that high

odd dagger
#

its absolutely the meta

#

7/10 in top 10 is HS

somber kiln
#

Its the most ping friendly
So imma stixk to it even if meta changes

odd dagger
#

real ones stay with HS through the sun and rain

dapper hedge
astral tendon
#

Idk if there are any real ones

#

The real ones those are yapping here are not even bm anymore

odd dagger

#

On the bright side, Riven is no1 as fire now

#

With 3k+ appepehehe

#

I’m still 2.4

#

I had 0 gear progression ever since the new dawncrest patch

#

dumbpepe life is good when f2p and only play 2-3 times a week

grand forge
#

playing this game for the gameplay and not chasing dopamine through micro dps upgrades is peak

sick bison

Left over gems from month ago

#

November maybe

#

Cozzydo probably have enough gems to make a few gold line left

#

But let’s wait it to drop below 500

How much is it to make a transcendent timestream @astral tendon

2.5k maybe

gilded thistle

wind merlin
#

None of the 3 viable ATM specs has crit buffs. And imo light >HS>fire. In similar gear. However, because light was so bad, there is like 2 BMS on that spec lol. And about fire... I played this for 3 days many moons ago, and I hated every second of it lol.

silk beacon
#

Hs does more dps than light on similar gear rn with the crit rates shits

obsidian steeple
#

I just rly hope they buff bm it feels weak rn

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe it is weak, one of the weakest class

#

Along side with sum if we don’t count hammer and sinbns_bursting

#

Uh also fm, they are dogsh1t this patch as well

wind merlin
#

FM didn't get much but aren't dogsh1t per se. Now if you compare them to wind kfm, warlock and light bd, then I suppose

#

But in general they do pretty okay

#

Certainly better than BM ... XD

#

Warlock in other hand... So cool to see 1800 ap few few books doing 300+ on yeti.... At lvl 60 something

astral tendon
astral tendon
#

Even des are above the rest just not by that much

#

dumbpepe fm is indeed dogsh1t this patch just like sin and bm, sum is dogsh1t dps but they are mandatory anyway

wind merlin
#

well, thats why so many changed to warlock

#

i dont like to be like the rest

#

and spear .... man ani is flimsy and its just not fun by looking at their gameplay

#

wind kfm... i was considering heavily into going to that

#

but

#

single target..

#

...and dungeons drop nothing...

silk beacon
#

im so close to get +10% crit rate on cards

#

hope there will be a diff on dps

#

and solve some focus issues

wind merlin
#

well if you go from sub 40 to sub 50, it would be rng

#

you`ll see some changes sometimes

#

but its too rng

#

like i can see the same on my kid

#

she got zulia and hong from the gold boxes, and its playing BB which is extra 5%

#

sometimes everything is crit, sometimes nothing

tacit star
#

Who bought my leg TDS yesterday on EU? I have valentine ready for you.

astral tendon
#

You can just send it to me, I don’t mind

somber kiln
#

What new legs are we expecting?

#

Just thunder stroke and connection?

astral tendon
#

For bm yeah

#

And both of them are kinda underwhelming

#

but tbh dont think any class got good skill other than kfm

sick bison
#

lancer got a good skill if you love to gamble

#

if you crit, insane dps buff, if you don't wasted book slots

#

crit rate is like 50% max

silk beacon
#

but 3 books is gonna be q.q

astral tendon
#

you can reduce 4 cd by like 4-5 times within the origial 36 seconds cd

#

and the 30 stack effect only 1 second, and idk if it works if you do not have bd to start with

silk beacon
#

its gonna be situational

#

if im able to hit violent blade block at specific timings it can be close to 100% uptime

#

but that will hapen once in a while XD

#

im gonna try to get the books

#

and will comeback here and cry later if it sucks so much

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe is a book that you probably wont even feel in real fight

#

dummy maybe

silk beacon
#

well i will have stone slash few secs earlier

#

on any fight so

#

idk why they just put only 1 extra second instead of just do 5 or 6 secs bd efect on tab

astral tendon
#

bns_bursting fear of bm to be too broken if lightning have uptime like fire

#

realistically even if lightning remove the bd damage and just add all of them to normal hit, you still cannot sniff lightning bd

hearty ether
#

after playing fire for 8~ months, switching to hs is such a challenge 😔

astral tendon
#

if they remove all the random conditions for bm skill, bms are still weaker than top class but at least not trash

silk beacon
astral tendon
#

now bms are trash no matter what you play

odd dagger
#

dont be a sheep

#

stick to fire

hearty ether

Trash class for sure!!!

pray we get another class change im changing 2 summoner fr this time bns_sad

u cant talk anymore

u went to the dps class

Im playing the superior 4 lancer unlike the lmb sheeps

yes

thats lmb build, ew

astral tendon

Fire is in a bit of a disadvantage even now

#

Riven has 300+ap on sensopepehehe

astral tendon
#

dumbpepe most raid bosses can’t be grabbed

#

Another day of not logging in

#

Feels great

hearty ether
#

would HS build need to switch out sun stroke for leggy lunar tab?

wind merlin
#

er, why would you? it gives you 6 sec 300% of ap extra dmg.

#

you also get free iframe/max boost after

hearty ether
#

true i just thought maybe it was worth swapping them out

astral tendon
#

No, stacks means minimal gain after 165, start from there each stack is +0.3% and would yield way less to total damage

silver moth
#

30gms lightning tab seem good if u already have 🦵 book

somber kiln
#

Not getting it

silver moth
#

18gm add more dmg, 30gm give 1 more sec buff duration, 48 reduce stone slash cd when hit

#

if i not wrong

#

but honestly, i feel it still trash

wind merlin
#

@silver moth but I'd believe TDs lower the cooldown of tab, no?

silver moth
#

only when u have scared badge

astral tendon
#

Yes but lightning still don’t truly have 100% up time

#

dumbpepe even with the leg tab is still not 100%

i swapped off puncture a day before they announced leg tab T_T

obsidian steeple
silver moth
#

lighting was never have 100% up time buff so it fine

somber kiln
#

In a perfect world, all specs would have their own strengths and the choice would only be if you like the playstyle

wind merlin
#

@somber kilnhaha 😄 good one xD

somber kiln
#

No like

#

Not a single game seems to get this right 😭😭

wind merlin
#

@somber kilnin live at least you can just swap spec ... fire for mobs ... 3rd for bosses

wooden rain
odd dagger
#

Worrythink I mean there are advantages for pretty much each spec rn.
They jst kept buffing slasher so people would eventually try it out.
Even when slasher was good enough , people refused to give it a shot.

#

Lightning is 100% gonna be the strongest spec soon cause people still refuse to be lightning despite all the new buffs.

#

It can farm MSP just as good and does insane dmg.

wind merlin
#

What's the advantage on puncture, hmm . Why everyone bar maybe one ( and one who didn't logged in from a month) switched away from it ?

odd dagger
#

puncture's advantage are not for whales

#

it is the strongest mid game spec still

#

it has the least barrier to entry just like DT

#

HS cant even start being an actual spec until u are 48 GM

#

puncture also becomes insanely strong once u are struly maxed out as well if u whale enough for the celestial thudner skill

#

Puncture still beats out Slasher for the most part on single target unless u have enough stacks and crit % cards.

wind merlin
#

I would disagree on the last part. Maybe still holds on purple Vs purple but that's as far as it goes .

odd dagger
#

Its still strong Whatever and again Slasher was buffed again cause people didnt want to swap, so dev's keep buffing it so people actually try it instead of clining on to one spec and preaching it.

#

now people are preaching slasher

#

and will keep clinging on to it even if puncture gets buffs after buffs.

#

then suddenly someone starts doing billions with puncture and suddenly everyone will swap.

primal hound
#

It's already been proven multiple times that puncture is the pure dps spec

#

in terms of pure raw dmg on a boss

wind merlin
#

People don't want to swap because, how the fck you swap in dead market

odd dagger
#

if someone wanted to swap

#

they can swap

#

there is enough

wind merlin
#

People did now due to the double class swap but that's about it . I wanted to move from puncture since sf release. Because it was meh I barely played for like 3 months. In the end I was doing msp with light draw

odd dagger
#

back when hs started being meta, most people were still on purples

primal hound
#

hs become meta due to the fact that it just gives a big qol in everyday tasks/grinding

wind merlin
#

Now? Perhaps. Early on? If you don't mind spending a mortgage payment into purple books, which were never there to begin with...

primal hound
#

idk what u mean

odd dagger
#

HS wasnt meta until purples became cheap

#

HS books were still going for 3-5k

primal hound
#

I was f2p when I had full 60gm purple puncture

#

haven't spend a cent on books

wind merlin
#

@odd dagger and leggy was like 35-40k if you can find any.

primal hound
#

and that was back when purple puncture was still like 25k+

wind merlin
#

Even if you had gems, no one was really selling prior to queen's boxes. And that's one book. Purple hs was rarely in F5 and whenever they were, prices were really high

#

@primal hound I bought my first puncture for 20k when DT was 60.

primal hound
#

I also got lucky tho

#

I opened like 6 punctures

wind merlin
#

Also, prior to the latest buffs on hs, unless you had 90 odd stacks, puncture was better. Even Nanaya swapped back to puncture before he had enough to dump it.

odd dagger
#

thats still the case

#

low stacks puncture still beats slasher

#

last buffs were equal for slasher and puncture

primal hound
#

puncture also has a built in ridiculous 20% crit rate

wind merlin
#

25 if we want to be precise but have fun with focus management

#

And have fun in msp with it xD

primal hound
#

i played puncture msp till i was like lvl 72 before i swapped

#

it's just slow

#

i would make maybe 40g an hour max at that lvl

wind merlin
#

Lvl 60 mobs were easy even on puncture... 70 were hell...

primal hound
#

but now im making 100g/hr

#

i aint even a bm anymore, i might swap back eventually

#

opened 5 free books and none of them were anything I could use

wind merlin
#

100g if you lucky you mean. I had today 4 yetis in 2h.... No pigs and no drops xD

primal hound
#

so i just class swapped to turn all of them to a main skill

wind merlin
#

Oh another ex BM ... Nevermind

#

BM is one of the lowest DPS classes now and nothing will change that

#

The celestial skill would be available just to either the luckiest people in world ever or if people like Nanaya fixate on it and don't mind paying a year worth of mortgage payments on it.

odd dagger
#

celestial doesnt change much anyway
