its na
Sorry NA
anyone intressted in this?
this is in EU aswell heads up
warlock defense down?
Yeah just not worth speccing 10s uptime every 30 seconds
Once you have a def down summoner the skill is dead
i think it can be useful
in like 2 spots
you do not have a sum
and you are not maxed on leggy books
soo you use 2
but then it is trolling to not reroll those into helixes
yeah i personally don't think it's worth it to take out 3 books just for this 10s def down
i mean even over a purple ?
for me im not gonna aim for it but if i get one imma use it at least 18gm
even over a purple I'd argue it is not worth using. losing 12GM on helix or volley would hurt more than having 10s of 20% def down.
especially with this event and how leggy books prices are you should just sell it to buy helix/volley or reroll it
As long as summoners exist, it will never be worth it i guess, as it is
What about the other one? 30% crit rate for 12s at gm48. Sounds like a mini soulburn.
This would be the only thing I would be curious about. But I highly doubt it would be worth dropping 48GM from Helix/Volley to do this
Wish we had some sort of training room we could test things like this in to know for sure
Yeah, rerolling 3 to test it out is just not feasible atm. Also kinda curious if 1 of the mortal coil would be worth it just for the leach cooldown since it doesnt have to be a full cast now.
btw i think this is a mistranslate, cuz i remember it being 30% crit dmg instead of crit rate when the kr patch first came out
the leech cdr is a bait, cuz it's limited by the cooldown of ur 2 button anyway, so at least 30s for each leech
with hex storm 48GM, cd of soulburn is around 68s, meaning u would only be able to cast 2 leech per full-rotation anyway
Does anyone know who’s selling the bombard?
If anyone does I am interested in buying 😄
I just hope they are interested in negotiating cause 14k is a little steep when ice isn’t even the preferred class and there’s 2 shadow main skills listed for 12k
I think 9-10k is more fair
wow thats some next level mistraslation lol
Anyone know who’s selling the leggy imprison?
Hi
Goodbye
🤔
Easier WB ranking, you should
yo should i focus on trying to get my last 3 volleys or just max helix out where im at
i have 126 helix and 56 volleyball
Diminishing returns on helix GM falls off after 100gm
After 100gm you should get volley up as you'll get more out of it
After you have 100 in both you dump the rest into helix
Da goat
WTB 1x Leggy Dcall 2x Leggy imprison if anyone pulls them
Is imprison important? Or for ice wl?
Its crucial on ice rotation and imprison gm effects are actually good lol
yeah
and fun fact, if not stacking for GM, shadow wl using lege imprison is 99% the same effect as using lege coil
yeah it is just the spectral orb generation on first hit you lose which is super marginal
Either way still not worth running on shadow
Was imprison 48GM Crit Rate or Crit Damage? Was that translation still messed up?
I dunno if anyone’s found that out as far as I’m aware no one on NA has gotten to 48gm imprison yet? Unless someone has a kr reference? I’m planning on getting there I figured I’d end up finding out but only have 1 book so far need 2 more
It would be nice to know for sure I mean I’ll probably do it either way but expectations ya know haha
Critical damage based on kr
hello cooler summoners, could someone share any recording of a shadow warlock preferably really close to max gear
yeah
negi qwq video
After a week of warlock experience, I feel like I now have a better understanding of NEO WL. So here's an updated parse with some other testing I've done during the week.
thanks o7
we need someone who tested 48gm imprison to share results with us
What do you want to test
is it cr or cd
ik but did anyone try it
cuz if its cr i can see a world were we can go 48 imprison on both modes
Does anyone know the differences inbthe warlock builds in neo?
The damage reduction on shadow by going from 138GM Helix -> 102GM will not make up that difference
And especially when you have to take it down further with volley to make room for CT
Ice it will be viable because you only lose 2 books since imprison is part of your kit anyway
happywarlock said its cd earlier today
wts EU // SOLD
The better option would be to just get 48 gm celestial thunder instead 👍🏽
wtb buy dm me
Is there any Ice warlock whale in NA or Eu?
I mean :
Is any Warlock in NA or EU that is atleast a little bit whale playing Ice instead of Shadow?
I think ProxLock is the highest geared ice wl NA
Uh yeah.. I saw that... Doesnt inspire me confidence when the shadow warlock with 2k less sf does the same dmg
Maybe ice is just really bad after all
I wish I could see one geared at the high end, like rising state +
TLDR, Lancer is boring me to freaking death, and im fond of Dragoncall loop
I was still ice for awhile after the first wave of class changes. could hold top 10 but yea we have too many stronger WLs now
it is ass in comparison, and rotation is more dependent on the brand debuff so it's annoying
any fight where you lose the chance to keep hitting, it affects your skill CDs and rotation
I mean, dark lancer has that problem somewhat for demonic energy
Tho with all the crit I have its not that bad anymore
Like I know Ice WL is more dependent on raw critrate, but my cards are very crit rate oriented atm (Because of the dark lancer buff uptime) so I was thinking it could work
Also I know it has less space for GM stacking because u need a leech and books for brand application like uve said
yea it's playable, just not the stronger of the two haha. The problem is more like, if you don't hit enough, leech won't be reset nicely. So you end up being doodoo for abit
not being able to hit OR not critting enough
leech matters for the insta-cast effect for Dcall
and yes you'll need purple X for brand too. so it's something you have to be careful when doing bosses with CC (like B2, you dont wanna kd wrongly)
my first raid prog i had that issue. literally just had to hold off
Not critting enough should not be that bad for me. If im looking at dragoncall gms, After the first dragoncall hit i go up to 79% crit chance for 5s on lvl 77 ennemy with my current card set, and 90% if mantra is active by some miracle at the same time.
I have crit chance on every card set except one and a 2 piece smite set
If I want to try it out, i have to prep 5600 gold for a double class swap, 2800 just to convert all my books to warlocks, and 2800 if it fails and I have to convert them again back to DL, or just become shadow
Thats such a pain
Wish we had some kind of training room for that
instead of ruining ourselves
you'll be losing alot of dps from DL to go ice. thats for sure
Ya no doubt that i lose dps going to warlock
But I wish I had a free way to know how bad it is
DL is just killing me inside lol
Wouldnt it be possible to just run the daze or stun version of it aka switch book just for that boss?
Cuz those bosses arent stunnable except when theyre grabbing a tank I think
yea u can. they r the same just diff cc, the variants of X
not yet anyways. ice is making a comeback apparently
i think they might be stronger than shadow
Nah
Kr getting new books?
Happywarlord on eu
How much more dps is one secret skill book on a wl
it scales off ap sooo
the higher ap you have the better
if you got full gold lines its not bad tho
It’s around 10%, 8%, 7% increase in total dmg for the first, second, and third CT u get
Might have to run imprison or coil after seeing screen at wb holy sheeit 😭
I think make imprison is viable probably I think he said it’s 30% cd during soul flare or something but ice wl with that amount of gm ranking 2 at wb with none of the giga whales there is crazy 😭
for shadow you would have to drop 3 helix's for 30% CD for 15s
And without going autistic with the numbers it is probably more of a dps loss than gain
Ice can utilize since they need one leggy imprison so they are only losing 36GM on Dragoncall vs 54 on helix
Damn now maybe it’s just a matter of which one is stronger now
Ice wl was meme but maybe they better now
Shadow is still going to be superior right now, but there is a chance ice flips the table if NC does more balance changes
Can someone do the calculations for coil/defense reduction 
Okay okay I think maybe I just sucked at that wb as well lel
it should be mostly irrelevant outside of solo content or if all summoners go extinct
And fire bm chads that use searing
Fire bm has even lower uptime on def reduction afaik
yeah but searing is just part of their kit
Youd need atleast 3 fire Bm alternating Searing to have 100% uptime
1 summ can do it on its own
Yeah I wouldnt be asking if I regularly ran with summoners
Same with WL which is why I said it is irrelevant but it is outside of a WL kit
Theyre honestly quite rare
Still planning to switch to ice warlock 
Gotta give the deets when you do
Who bought the 3 cts 👀
Also from what I was told Imprison is a special case
You want the first hit to trigger GMS and skill effects
then cancel it
That’s ez it cancels right after you do anything
Also, its not even worth getting a book of it if u dont go for 48 gm.... because the only reason u use it is for badge effect
not for the instant dragon call effect
cuz you reach a point you have 100% leech buff uptime, or so I was told
And leech also gives instant dragoncall so... 6 vs 9 secs, no difference
One WL in eu reported to me his dmg was actually lower with 48gm imprison most of the time
vs running 3 more Dcall books
But, he runs imprison cuz that is helpful for MSP
In theory
You can get by with 1 Soul flare, 1 X book for purples
and rest could be legendaries
leech purple book is not that good. its 10% crit dmg, another 18 gm on a main skill could be better
Depending on how stacked you are, cards and gear wise
Yeah the book system really make WL kit change for best dmg
I think I’m just copium hoping I don’t have to change books 🤓
Would be a lot of gold
If anything if Ice got a buff it would be equal or a little over shadow
Ice is just a nice concept to me, and ive played it on an alt semi seriously at the start of silverfrost patch, both here and on live
unless they gave a live sin level messup
So screw the damn meta
thats the mindset to have
I was just gonna say
all the lancer players
looks awful to play
I thought FM was braindead
I would say 4 build on Lancer requires some brain. but channeling for 4 whole seconds is too much for me.
cuz u have to know when its safe to charge that
I liked sin cause of the rotation management (before new timebomb)
but the payoff was just ass
might be the first full dead class if buffs dont come soon
Oh wait do these work after class change
cuz my class change would be 2700 gold, not 2800 if they do
they should as long as you dont open
I don’t see how it’s not already
Ya they been sitting in my bank forever
yeah should be good then
once you open them you pick a class specific box
as it is it will change to WL for you
mantou has already said he will never rr sin
and he's top on almost every WB so i dont see why he would
prints gems for him
unless nyc tops him
which nyc might when he gets raid core
Also something I didnt consider
Someone bought the CTs?
I have exp badges to transfer, so i could save some gold on buying two class changes
hell or high water most ppl are sticking to what they picked
Yeah probably Lucy or starboy 👀
Nah
some people are just metaslaves
I know who tho
Just when I was about to cut off one of my balls for one
Two people from my clan,
you say that but look at some of the dls hating that class
meta slaving is cool till
the meta never changes
I rolled it cuz it was top dps and it was new. and I came back from a 2 month break and I needed all the help to catch up
then they reroll into a good fun class
Damn imma lose to mao some more now
plus to be fr
all the ppl clearing bt boss 3
the wrong way will have hell to pay when the bug gets patched
and you will be stuck at boss 3 because you are all dls
wl is glass cannon but it works real well for what it is made for
Ya relearning Boss 3 is gonna be fun, but im game to do it the way developers intended
Is base mushin core actually good
Idk how the ap and just + enhancement is big maybe after you turn it on
the soulcore is not bad
Its the best stat stick there is atm
i like the soulcore being a stat stick
And you get the skill points bonuses
but over all it is prob better to run a rk or something but
which can be an extra 3-5% dps (cuz its additive with GM and skill points)
with wb items going down in price slowly
it is worth getting one
and trying to snipe some cheap wb items
to upgrade it one day
When you turn it on it’s the best huh what do you need to turn it on 😭
It’s raven core 20 time stream coins and credit card
Ofc it is 👁️👄👁️
I feel like the awakened core is worth if you can get frags cheap enough
they are teetering 2k/frag rn
yeah its not b ad
P sure a base mushin core is still better than any purple
raven king proc has raw dmg so its the 2nd best
mushin core is also a curse. mine dropped from b1, which was really nice honestly, but I am over 1k gold into rerolling the skills on it, which is rather rough since I am f2p lmao
but it doesnt beat the skill dmg boost from Leg soul core
you get a plus 2 or 3
id even take
and leave it
any lvls
getting from plus 3 to 4
The higher the lvl the more exponentially low the chance is
I have +2 hex and rmb. I will be happy with +2 helix and rmb.
is like a 0.02% more dps
I did get a +6 dimensional flare roll once though 🤡
How much is cost to reroll
More casino simulator
I just want cost effective progression if it makes sense. Game be boring asl if I don’t buy something
30g, 30 element powder, 7 hongmoon essence, 1 shinma iron
Just raiding will be passive progression whether by earning bid dg or getting some loot
Even a b1 weekly is ok tbh
I need a raid 👀
The way neo works is, just do the daily and msp if u want. Grinding extra is not usually rewarding
Not like live where you grinded for runs/drops
Someone should make a video all gold farmers raid b1 with coms ts would be funny asl
Yeah I said if it’s around the 100-150k range and I already finished with gear I want one
Was gonna get a e bike but ct better
did you still want that purple barakal core btw? I somehow never saw you asking about it
i mean if they come out with the dragon ear ring event
it is just about how much gold you are willing to pump into it
Imma have a mushin one soon 😭 god damn I was asking about it for a week you almost had me unless you lemme get it for the low 👀
I could drop it down to like 1.5ish?
if not it's fine, my fault for not reading world chat enough
lol
Lol just leave the gold farmers alone. They just tryna live. Aside from slowing me down in trains and griefing some bosses, dont rly mind it
Nah I actually wanna run a raid with them. I wanna see how it goes 😭 this game is so stale bro need to try some crazy stuff every once and awhile to make it fun
Some of them be cool tho they tell me what’s going on with their circle and how it may effect the players sht like that
Well it’s not impossible. In live there was a high ping warrior discord. You can experience their life by setting exitlag to indonesia and playing. Ez
Yea just be kind and they will reciprocate within reason.
They have families to feed, poor them
starboy how much was the offer you made?
What offer?
OH what if u mean Georgias CTs
No I didnt contact Georgia for that
@remote lantern
Theyre all sold to some of my clan mates already
Hello guys I was a shadow warlock on release on live( i have menatally blocked it out of my brain). It was my main till gunner then I ran 2x main till I quit.
I'm currently an FM on neo and want to change to shadow warlock if/when we get change ticket. Is there an upto date guide I can follow or what skill setup would you recommend for the 18 books?
Thanks guys
Scorpio
It’s probably for reroll or someone intending to rr into wl
Anyway us peasants dont need to bother w CT
yes negi youtube video
gives you a break down
and it all based on how many leggy books you got lol
hey fam i want to know if there is a new wl in town that matters lol
Will have a look at negi thanks
he did a math break down of most things
sooo you should be fine to just watch it and find out what works best for you
There will new wls for sure if class change comes. Just let it happen and find out then
i feel like ppl say they are going to switch
but then you get into playing wl
and nope out
Idk depends why they switch
from what i have seen from talking to ppl switching
they do not like dl but they want a good dps class
wl does good dps but it is not fun besides the ppl that enjoy its dryness
I need to change to tank boss 3 in raid fm is dumb to try and stay 10 mtr and miss the swing aoe. I thought about lancer but looks so boring I already have a 1 button class sunflower summoner lol and I believe lancer is even more braindead than fm
Just a quick question I see some shadow with leech some with out?? Most without are giga whales
yeah
leech is not rly worth running past a point
because the crit dmg you get from the book
gives you less then another helix
its all based on card sets and gear
if you are under geared you use leech
if you are over geared you take it out and use helix
but i would say try the class out before
picking it because it is super glass cannon
DL probably feels boring because it hits slow, besides being easy rotation. But technically many classes become one button or close with the right macro set up.
Would say the annoying thing is just thrall besides the lack of more iframes. Summon it to blow it up wastes time and annoying esp when tanking. Bosses with multiple reds become a pain, but those with blockables become fairly simple
When I tank steel, I use thrall to bait the first red shoulder on rotation reset and free up iframes for other stuff
oooo ik i am just saying for other classes like fm
that has like
what 5 iframes
in a kit
going to 2
is more weird
Yea but it can work out. Because FMs have to dodge or use an iframe even for blockables. Anyway that’s skill or gear issue if you can’t survive PvE regardless of class.
NEO is already dumbed down so we have less iframes as a result too
Yeah but that is why I say try the class before locking it in
We don't know if it is one class change or 2
We don't know when the next one is coming to
If its a pay to change I'm not switching. Stopped swiping last November
I have 2k gold and 19k gems to switch. I hope I can use gems
is there even a confirmation in any form out there that taiwan announced Class Change?
no, just speculation
you would know if it was, people wouldn't be talking like this
Class change announced
class change announced but still need tons of gold to change class 
Ye well been looking at negi vids and I think I'm cucked.
I got to 3k gold last night thought that will be enough can grind about 100-200 a day. On my fm I have 15 leggy books. Have a few on alts I can snipe back.
How do i know if I need 17 leggy books and 1 Soulburynbook?? Or if I need other stuff
My rough stats are(at work atm)
Sf 32.5k
Crit rate 18k
Crit dam 11k
Accuracy 5.7k
Also is there any qol books I need.
On my fm I had a utility earring with heal and protection. Wicked twin so strong I didn't need to use hp pots with the earring
just a disclamer because you said you dont want to spend money
there was no free swap this time so around in kr
it's 225g/skill swap 15 is 3375 you can only swap FM->WL in the change class lobby the book changer after that will only detect WL books to do WL->WL swap
17+sb is the max dmg pve build
you might want the bastion for lunar
and might need a tether blade dazed for raid that you can get as green book
So it's the ncoin thing most likely that sux I mean I can pay it but I don't want to.... I see how I feel maybe weekend ty sokka
I would pay for gunner though lol
Gunner I found most fun from live back in the day
i think we ll get a free class change for each class release(like we had ree character slot and story boost for live) unless the skill system revamp goes real hard
but this class change event feels wierd like thy'd wrather sell vouchers than do a balance patch NC buisness model i guess ...
That's the thing to pay to switch just for dps feels like a bait and switch method when class balance will come 1 day
I would be switching for nostalgia but will i just hate it , lack of mobility and iframe kinda put me off maybe I was spoilt on fm and didn't know it lol
i created some FM bots to wait/ detect mona spawn and damn SS Q E feels good (coming from summ)
Kinda necessary without a block tbh
Ye a 10 second iframe for nuub nexus party lol
Please tell me how to insert this book correctly? Because when using it, there is dissonance.
Are you aware of there being a dragon helix and a dragon helix additional damage?
That dont stack
So, do you need to insert either the entire dragon helix or just the damage hrel.add. damage one? qwq
Yes they dont stack
Sorry😭 could you tell me more? What's better to use?
should I collect the whole dragon helix or just those?
Dragon Helix (legendary) = Dragon Helix (Purple)
Dragon Helix: Additional Damage is the PvP variant that does not stack with the Legendary Book or the Regular Dragon Helix (Purple)
The same goes for Dimensional Volley (Legendary) = Dimensional Volley: Cooldown Reduction
Dimensional Volley: Spectral orb is the Purple pvp variation and not related to Legendary or Cooldown Reduction
4 legendary should i use books like this? Or more helix and less salvo?
anyway what is the main rota with shadow wl?
u can check negi's video
WTB warlock leggy books
Na or eu
After a week of warlock experience, I feel like I now have a better understanding of NEO WL. So here's an updated parse with some other testing I've done during the week.
can i see your build please
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdYZcqGT0KI&t=1s
my build before CT was in this video, just ignore the parsing part of it since outdated
Swapping back to Warlock, the class I've played for years back in live. I'm just just using Logitech macro to spam 4T and pressing other keys manually.
who are selling that gold line weapon on NA pm me
50k dg is a wild price
ye not worthit but if want negociate 
i wonder how many new wls we have
So far I can confirm 3 whale ones wb bout to be sad now
oooo ik
Well enjoy tonight cuz I'm skipping lmao
Literally dying irl. Caught some kind of stomach flu
Bruh you ice I wasn’t talking bout you 🥱
Nah I’m playing should be Interesting with whale ice wl in the mix
ice wls do not count as wls lol
Cant blame ya for being racist in this dog eat dog world
hmmmm nah
just i am not going to worry about ice wl when
whales rerolled shadow
WTB WL Skill Book
Just a question, do you think that the world boss bonds are worth for us shadow wls? Skipping Both jinso bonds ( 30% cd ) to wb sets 2 that gives in total ( 6% cr and 6% cd ) so we go from like 52-54% crit rate with full gold line, to 58-60% crit? They changed the cost of the wb bonds
With helix buff and gear active we should be at 80 % most of the time and that should be bigger boost than 24% cd, i think?
So the set up would be Hidden appearance (2) mortal enemies (4) mystery of dawn (7) secret of dawn (11) champions of darkness (14) wb 1 (16) wb 2 (20) and all gives 20%cr and 47%cd i think ( writing all this from memory
)
@candid wing can you screenshot world boss tonight if you go would like to see how many fm switched
I need a little help. Dimensional Volley(Legendary) and Dimensional Volley Cooldown reduction(Purple) stack? because on yast if i pick lega Volley and +4 purple it shows its stack but the 2 skill name not same
Yes you want Cooldown Reduction Purple
Leggy Volley = Cooldown Reduction (NOT Spectral Orb)
Leggy Helix = Dragon Helix (NOT Additional Damage)
Thx ❤️
calculating from this, so u'r comparing 20%cr + 49%cd vs. 14%cr + 73%cd from the card sets. Assuming u have 19000 crit rate and 11500 crit damage on F3, which would translate to 35.19% cr and 241.48% cd. Adding (12%cr + 24%cd) * (8/20) from mantras, and 10%cr + 36%cd from helix, they become roughly 50%cr and 287%cd w/o card sets. With wb sets, u'll have 70%cr and 336%cd, expected damage would be 0.7 * 2.36 + 1 = 2.652 outside soulburn, and (0.7+0.2) * (2.36+0.5) + 1 = 3.574 inside soulburn; with jin sets u'll have 64%cr and 360% cd, expected damage would be 0.64 * 2.6 + 1 = 2.664 outside soulburn, and (0.64+0.2) * (2.6+0.5) + 1 = 3.604 inside soulburn. As u can see, jin sets are still stands out a tiny bit on top (less than 1% difference though). So if u don't have the jin sets already, it would be a nice budget build with the currently buffed wb sets, but if u already have them, it's not worth swapping off.
Aah i see, i only miss either rahu or zulia then i got the top bond build, i have a selector leggy box. Thanks for the calculation and explaining!

why cr* cd+1
an not cr * cd+(1-cr)*1 ?
Ye crazy dmg
game math is part of the fun
Definitely
if u expend that parenthesis, that's exactly what i was doing, cr*(cd-1)+1
doing math is to better understand ur investment return ratio
Gotta do the investment first then look to justify it after
For example, the first three CT are huge dmg boost, so a fourth should at least be half as good (~4%) as the previous ones right? In fact it only gives ~1% total dmg increase, equivalent to 36ap when u have all gold line. Meaning one would just be spending 200k dg for a 10k dg worth of value if they go in blindly.
got it ty
Leech cd
thx
have the focus one too
i forgot
but i think with 48gm on hex + 48 on helix maybe focus wouldnt be a problem
@upbeat nymph
yo. question really quick. want to swap from sin to wl but i only have 1 leg. which one should i swap for? (shadow build)
helix
thanks!
the play tho is to stay win and farm free gems from wb tho
unless you hate the class
its sin nobody should enjoy that class in its current state
like all the wls that stuck with wl when it was ass in sf
it is purely just selling out the class for cheap gains
I don't get but 5-7 gems at wb. didn't play for that long. only 19k SF on it. I like it but I also want to try the WL out of all the classes.
idk the key thing you need to ask yourself
is if wl got nuked
would you still want to play it
I'm planning on playing for one or two more weeks. not thinking so much of it.
I just want to play it right for these one-two weeks.
may I ask what soul badge is good? the helix amp? cause I've seen earlier that for the mystic is leech cd.
yeah just the helix one
thank you!
@neat haven do you take the 88 ap card set or the crit crit dmg one ?
right here they talked about it
u mean the new 88ap one with machi or the old one with RK? If talking about RK, definitely the cr cd one.
i mean the new one
lol
i got the card my first run
that is why i was asking lol
but i still need the zulia and rahu
i saw that card set coming 2 month ago so i didn't even put my zulia rahu into the cr cd set
oooo i do not have that set done
any wls want to buy this before i yeet it
Its cuz I might wanna fiddle around with an MSP accessory
Thunder as in CT?
For me its just to replace DCs which are useless in MSP, by a Soulbind + Leg imprison book so effects are on first hit instead of last hit
and not have to pay 4 gold x 2 every single time I wanna msp with imprison
yeah thunder as in ct
from what i have seen of other classes it is good
but alot of the whale wls do not msp
as me being the first wl to lvl 78 shows lol
good let my broke ass farm some gold
damn i was thinking that smite set was gonna be ass for wl and to grab crit rate 
wts eu: SOLDDD
should i replace leech book another V legy to 48 stack my V is now 30
Purple leech's 10% cd is good early on when card sets are bad
but as they get better with more % crit dmg, GM becomes lot better
Most important thing about leech is the "Darkest Day" 15 secs buff
And even base skill gives it for that long
Well atleast for Ice warlock
i mean it is diff one ice
because you spam it more
because dc has it on the gm
ice does not have gm leech cd sooo
it is not worth it because it takes to much time to get it back
isnt leech purple better than 1x helix purple? cuz 6gm+ is not as strong as 10% cd or is it?
negi made a whole thing in one of his videos about
if it is worth or not worth
but to be fr
play what feels the best to you
a leech book is not going to break your back
well then id better waste that one book slot for bastion instead of leech
I assume u meant to type shadow?
Ok so Shadows dont even press leech at all
Its just not perma buff uptime?
but if u crit more, you have higher dragoncall hits
So technically a crit is 6 s cdr
cuz of the reset
but u cant reset off of a reset tho
but yeah i think for you
it would be worth it
but shadow i think it is a waste
because it is like you use it once every 30 secs
or something
meh, 10% crit dmg is not a lot when you have nearly 300% without it
18 gm on dragoncall would definitely be better i think
oooo yeah ik but like
Since we cant stack it high anyways
Ya true
Wont deny that
Maybe well get a legendary version that gives more than 10% CD
someday
we will have to see what those mythic skills are
yes, as shadow wl u definitely want ur V to have 48 GM, because it reduce ur soulburn cooldown by a lot, which is why shadow stands out over ice in the first place
Do you get more resets of V in shadow? Cuz our V has similar gm effect

and while soulburn or mystic badge effect it's even faster
6s per hit if i remember correctly
Ah ok
For us its 4.5s cdr over 3 hits on 30gm, and Mystic badge effect, and thats it
so I want to delay my imprison if it means lining up with soulburn
oh yeah it def makes sense now why shadow is strong
yeah while leech it's 4s per 1.3s rmb rotation, normally it's 2s per rmb rotation, while soulburn it's 1.5s triggered 3 times per awaken rmb rotation, and mystic badge top those numbers up by another 2s
shadow's rmb rotates in 3 states (red->purple->blue) with a 0.3s, 0.5s, 0.5s gcd, and only the blue one triggers that cdr effect, so it's trigger every 1.3s
but while soulburn, all three states are turned into awaken volley, which triggers the cdr effect 3 times faster
Holy
hello guys just prepping for switch which xp badges do i switch my virtuos mystic and soul badge thanks
am i gonns spend like 3 k on this....
basically got a choice focus recovery , reduce leech or reduce hexstorm . i will up to sacred when i get the funds but this swap is kinda taking all my gold and resources lol
reduce leech i think, but you will experience quite some focus shortage until u have it upgraded
the hex one is good too
Thanks guys guess I need to spam yeti for frags lol and upgrade
Normally I chill on Monday after work do as little as possible ingame not today it seems 😩😩
What should I do
about?
Quit and/or play casual, cut your losses on dead game
i mean just enjoy the game
if you are playing the game to be the best that is not happening for anyone that does not throw a life time of money into the game
sooo just enjoy it for what it is
To each their own. I cba to even do mines everyday. Playing my alts more fun combined.
lol
But did you about
I thought they were reworking the skill book system lel is this what they meant 😭
Dunno. New 5% gambling stuff maybe
Sacrifice a CT copy for 5% chance to get pink book

more like 20 leg fragments for pink spell 5% ofc
make that 100 fragments
I dont think so
hmm btw why is the 15% Cdmg + 88AP set better than the 3% CR + 12% Cdmg set for WL? AP still that good?
The left side is one's dmg expectation with the cr+cd set: (x+3)% in-fight crit rate and 360% crit damage (so maxed out cardset).
The right side is that with ap+cd set: x% in-fight crit rate and (360+3)% crit damage, and 88ap provides about 2.5% increase in total damage when u have 3400ap.
This inequality solves for x<0.55352 means that if you find urself hitting less than 55.3% crit hits in an actual fight, then cr+cd set is better, otherwise ap+cd set is better.
Having incomplete card sets probably means u have even more cr and less cd, which further dilutes the effectiveness of more cr.
TL;DR: at least under current patch, where u stop at all gold line +0 and have around 3400ap, the ap+cd set still stands out, but not by much: if u have 70% in-fight cr, the ap+cd set only wins by 0.5% total damage increase
Thank you for the explanation, got it
who is that
cuz imprison also has hex storm refresh + leech cdr, exactly what shadow wl needs
Think the still can only cast 2 times said it was for the 30%cd 🚶♂️
There’s so many wls can yall start making books now I needa buy 3 pls
Lf one helix and 2 volley
@neat haven what set would you grab after those for the rahu zulia sets?
i was thinking the rk one but not sure
either of these two is good, depends on if u have an extra rk. Hidden powerhouses would be a slightly larger power up
i was thinking raven king because i could take off my wb card set and put rk one in and jin and hong set in
yeah if u can replace one set with two, definitely do that
i have that one point sitting around because the lowered the wb card set cost lol
you dont run the leech purple book for the crit dmg you run it for the instant wingstorm and dcall reset
No books gives wingstorm reset anyways, which is the most important of the two
right but more dcall reset more dragons more damage right?
1 reset every 15 secs is easily beaten by 18 gm
Dont get me wrong
its nice
But at the absolute endgame
not the best choice
It needs a little more ooomph
we might get that with a legendary book version
so I genuinely like not trying to argue haha im wanting to be able to run the 30gm imprison so if I could swap out my leech I for sure would but I was trying and seemed like I was losing some dps?
thats what my build is rn
Also if leechs animation wasnt so long and/or cancellable
1 copy of legendary imprison is all you'd need. The cd reset on first hit is what makes it good. But the gms effect. considering its on a 30sec cd, meh.
If you want bleed youd be better off running a Blue soul shackle book. No joke
I was thinking to be a full bleeder you would need both 30 gm and soul shackle?
cause the uptime of just one doesnt seem like enough?
Why would you want to be a full time bleeder as warlock?
I dont want to be able to all the time but I want to have that ability when its needed theres loads of times we run stuff and go oh we need a bleeder and gotta find someone
if I could do it myself would be very useful at least for me
others would rather just max dps
but I like the option
so the intent would be 30 gm imprison and a blue soul shackle I can swap in when I want to full bleed
Your dmg will suffer more than u think.
The timing of imprison is really important (must be used right after two instant casts in a row + just used wingstorm to max reset effect, but at the same time dont want to hold onto it for too long). On top of only letting the first tick hit before you use other skills again. So if you use imprison with timing related to bleed. Will feel like suffering.
Wl is not really made to bleed and theres quite a few class that can do it much more easily than we do, without sacrificing so much
right I get that more so that part will be for my own experimenting im just trying to understand the leech purple book not being required check the message I sent you
There is many things wrong with what you sent me:
-
You are overcapped on crit on the green training dummy. That screws over the statistic more than you'd think.
-
Not using soulburn also screws over the statistic. Its part of your kit and gives so much crit dmg, why ignore it to try to prove a point?
-
Your dragoncall hit count is lower in the 2nd parse.
-
I never said that leech is absolute trash and should be avoided at all costs.I was just trying to say that at the absolute endgame with optimal card sets and stats, its just not worth it. On your way though, it can be a good alternative. It just needs a little more oomph to be a MUST have regardless of your gear.
If you wanna support id recommend going Rumblebee summoner
100% bleed, Poison and Def down uptime by just existing
im not trying to prove a point or even say you are wrong man just trying to understand lol
So you just want number crunching?
Cuz Ive already said more than enough
Idk how you still dont understand why current purple leech is not a Must have
its all good man
wasnt trying to like come at you or something was just trying to have a constructive conversation
Sorry my goal wasnt to sound made and condescending, And my choice of words pretty poor overall
So my point didnt come across well and I get tilted when i cant manage to explain stuff well
I cant tell you how much extra oomf cuz I dont really crunch numbers that hard. But the better your cards are the less significant 10% crit dmg buff actually is. Especially if you play really well around resets to maximise soulburn uptime for even more crit dmg
One thing I could see making leech much better is if it didnt have an animation lock (as in you cannot Do any other skill while leech animation is playing kinda)
Then maybe you would even want to spam it for the resets then
Else, I think the crit dmg % it gives needs to be tripled or smth
Increased duration wouldnt really do anything, same case for more focus regen. So it needs an entirely new effect, or faster animation, or a lot more crit dmg % to be a must have
At Endgame * asterisk
the new wl leggy seems like it will be trash
from what ppl are saying it is going to be f
Leech? Depends on what they add up I guess
Rupture ez
The thing narcissu posted refers to plunder and steal
Which sounds more like its leech rather than rupture
BM: fire tab
Sin kfm: blue buff
Fm: fire z
Des: e
Bd: wind z lighting z
Wl: f
Dl: 1
Sum: idk maybe 2 or 3 or x
sooo not sure
leech or rupture would be meh
i want sb or something like that
18sec leech, 20% Crit dmg
extra leech time might be the key to buff ice over shadow

I play ice, and i have 0 issues with 100% uptime already, heck I even have the problem leech is available too early sometimes
This leg book is essentially 10% CD > 20% CD for me and thats it
might be worth over Bombard GMs? But maybe unlikely
Again, it might be good for users that dont have lots of crit chance card sets yet. but for me ive never had issues with leech buff uptime since my switch to ICE WL
(Because more crit chance = more Dragoncall Count = more Leech CDR)
what ping do you play at
Just curious
I played ice during live but meta chased shadow here. I may spec swap to ice next time we get class swapping
21 ms
ok you are around my ms
or 26ms if the exitlag gods forsake me
i go between 16-21
Ya I have giga crit chance card sets from playing DL tho so my leech CDR is bigger
89-90% crit chance on dragoncall on average, on Machi
(thats also pretty good since crits cant miss, and machi has insane accuracy reqs)
i think even with more leech time it would be still meh no ?
Ice warlock gives no F about that extra leech time feels like.
Maybe shadow can do something with it, but idk how shadow works
i mean anything you change on leechs unless you give it crit rate
seems meh
like 10% crit and 10% crit dmg would be fire
Well if it gave a lot more crit dmg it would be fine too, you could focus on crit chance cards to get more dragoncall resets
but 20% seems a bit lackluster
CR is so good for Ice Warlock Since technically we can crit twice from the same crit (cuz extra cast)
Wouldve been op to have it on leg leech indeed
i think to make leech worth doing it has to give something like crit or def down
its not free dmg
you are taking out a book that could be used better
then using a leech
if the numbers do not number
i think if they gave leech def down ice would be wayyy better to run then shadow
its 10%
a leggy book can only be upto 2-3% more dmg from stacking
% crit dmg goes down alot
plus up time and stuff
tell that to the numbers
but its perma for ice?
i am shadow sooo
who cares about shadow , ew
alot of ppl
10% doesnt seem that great for ice, but maybe 20% is enough
I wish it was more, or that theyd remove the animation lock on top
yes shadow is meta, but its already strong. so who cares if it gets a bad book
why would you want it to be a bad book
Do u mean personal piercing % bonus or actual debuff on boss
just run mortal coil x3 then
have 3 wls with them
perma up
they are not going to give a perma def down to the strongest dps in the game 😭
i got to be a hater towards sums just because wl is the best class sooo
on a single book
got to dream big
i would find it funny if they gave kfm and sin group bb and gave us some other dumb stuff
Ya, I assume what was datamined could be incomplete, its better to wait next week to be sure

i think leggy leech is still a dps boost if u are kinda low geared in terms of cards
its about 2.5% dmg boost for shadow. almost on par with a helix stacking above 90
and probably comfy to higher longer duration of free focus
Dont forget there is about 6 sec of dead time when you are about to use soul flare as shadow, so 3 extra sec on leech would mean you got something up at all time, but i think stacking helix might be easier and kinda the same dmg
Those extra sec you usally spawn the thrall and do some rotation of V RmB 4 until leech is open into a SF + imprison at the end of leech

negi what is your guess for the skill what will it be you think
it's worth to replace a volley with lege leech based on my calculation
at my current book setup and dmg distribution, -1 volley is losing 8% * 25% = 2% total damage, while getting 5% dmg increase from leech which has a 50% uptime so 5% * 50% = 2.5% gain.
but still need to see if the extra 6s leech duration fits well into the rotation.
cuz if longer leech duration leads to postponing the next soulburn after it's cooldown is already up, that's also a hidden dmg lost
they're already datamined on yast

yeah even if it's worth, it's only going to be a very small amount of increase
but it can still be nice to have when farming instead of 1 volley tbh and other stuff
no gm just a one and done ?
yeah if you roll it or get it free
then you may as well use it
but if you do not do not chase it
yeah sb would be perfect
first lege book is 12gm right? so just the first 2 lines
there might be gms, it might have just not added yet in the client
cause if it gets added to client , it will get shown on every skill since its linked to the skill and not the book
specifically cause BM is getting a fire Tab when every other tabs come with gm effects.
if u keep the same rotation u will gain 3 sec (sf+3+leech) and an other 3 sec on the 2nd leech
the downtime with no boost after the 2nd 3 is what makes wl falls in dps
reducing that gap by 6 sec is good too
🤨
Can someone post an EU warlock top 10 from world boss. From last few days I'm interested to see different builds
2 days ago
@neat haven that new zulia and mao set worth running the 5% crit one
well its only ever so slightly better than unwavering hong set, so no?
Most likely not

as skyrus said, it's just a hong set with a little bit raw value of cd. not really worth using at this point
who quit na
Anyone know who selling the volley
Could you please tell me: to make a trade using this ticket, do I need any legendary book? For example, can I buy the cheapest (trash) book and make a trade? qwq
I think it needs to be a bound book
Yea its bound books only
оh... could you please tell me... where can I get this particular book, then? 
where can I quickly get a bound leggy book?
sorry qwq
The only places are in the event transmute or hajoon
Or if you change class then its more worth to change with gold
Currently the Barakal Hidden treasure chest has these odds, but for 20 gold? I would never recommend
So yeah its possible you might not be able to use that change ticket
hii im new on bns i reach level 53, but i run out of focus a lot, how can i improve focus ?
i have purple and blue skills
yeah alot of it is lvl based
sooo if you are hitting something higher lvl
you will struggle with focus more
and it matters what kind of wl you are
i saw a lot of warlock videos spaming 4 and RMB without losing focus
can i stack blue skills with purples? or must be same color
What are you shadow or ice
Dragon call or dragon helix
You can stack any color of the same book
Blue is worth 2 purple is 6 and gold is 18
But for you I would not follow what end game players do like build wise because for you the math will work different till you hit end game
So you will be running more books that help you with focus and stuff
In the early days, people ran mantra (LMB) for focus. You can also opt for the focus giving rupture (F). That might assist until your rotation smoothens out (because these are considered dps losses otherwise).
What is that “ overpower duration”?
rmb stacking too
Level 18: Additional Damage on hitting
Level 30: Recover 1 Focus on using
Level 48: Additional Damage on hitting
It's leech
Thats next month my Guy, i am talking about 4 months from today
It looks the same tho 
Leech is plunder tbh might just be me misunderstanding.. mb in that case xD
But why did they preview it today for kr August update?
Ya plunder/steal is referring to leech
And holy, rmb GMs could be huge
Rmb already so stronk
magic users are getting giga stonks, their rmbs already almost as strong as helix without these gms
Is it only the shadow rmb that's getting gms
both are rmbs ice and shadow
i dont think 10 awk rmbs more per soulburn is even a increase of 5%
10?
the magic diff on rmb is waay more than 10
its like 40-50% more rmbs compared to normal user
magic aint just removing auto bias
okay u dont know what u r talking about
vanilla 38
welp the link which had image for count difference b/w koala and magic user expired
every one has seen the insane difference from shadow rmbs
feel free to defend them cheaters
not defending
okay and how much % of total dps is rmb
30% ish
and 27% of 30% is how much
7,5%?
during 1 sb
lets say the fight isnt 15s long but 1m
doesnt seem so crazy is it
but its not like rmb is only used in SB? everything is more
oh boi 😂
you can only do that on awk rmb's
no point to argue with you
you havent played that class
but why are u talking about awk rmb?
is it the only thing getting boosted by gcd change
well either people have super sh it macro or gcd definitely hits numbers
the cheats for gcd needs more than that
For ice, if we could spam rmb faster we could also cast more dcs
So would have an impact on 80% of my dmg (no CT gang)
well looking at kr chart they showed, they consider Ice to be considerably weaker than shadow, so giga buffs for ice?
Ohh nice? Didn't look like they were buffing our RMB in the other slice tho
I saw the GMs for the other two RMBS I think
o wait bombard is pvp one
yea weird?
unless both of them are going to get the same gm effects.
Bombard doesn't have multiple states
this one is for bombard
What's the name in english
the 1st gm effects on wl
Bombard has a PvE and PvP version
We don't use the two RMBS right of the tree
pve is called dimensional light bullet
Ahh it's weird cuz it's just bombardment in our version
So AI translate was confusing
I'm at work atm so I can't check yast to match the wordings
Well I'm glad ice is getting buffs
Copium they're stronger than shadows
I mean than shadows buffs
In-game PvP version of bombard is visible with a +button instead of its own branch
Maybe it's what u mean
do we know what the book changes going to be like ?
existance is pain
Holy I just realized
The rmb 30 gm effect is gonna be huge for ice without timestream
I have focus issues and I'm too peasant to get a timestream weapon
what is the rmb for the shadow?
Both rmb gettin the same kind of gm effects
Ap scaling, 1focus on crit, Ap scaling, in that order
For me the focus on crit is huge
And I guess a bit more dmg is welcome
i mean it is big for who ever just means i do not run out focus on like rk
On any lvl 77+ monsters I have a chance to run out of focus even if I'm hit capped against them
If a few too many of my RMBS don't crit in a row
During soulburn or mystic badge effect it's fine tho
18s every 30s I risk getting screwed up
But I think that gm effect might be good enough to protect me from bad rng
playing ice has crossed my mind a few times
but i enjoy shadow alot and it is like waiting for the ppl that played it because of sin being bad
leaving back to sin
im fine with either. assuming the new skill system revamp allows flexible changes, won't be much of a debate anymore too
i think it is, seems that you slot books for skills of the same variant category
