yeah lowk i think smord is onto something

#

my bad for reingaging

sweet marlin
#

yeah, i never said fallen wasn't harder, but is like in LoL comparing Silver IV with Silver III skills

#

skill ceiling in Wynncraft is and has been always low

#

is not like other games where a playstyle can require months of perfection, is just learning a pattern and repeating it, there is no variation in that playstyle that allows for higher skill ceiling

dim pivot
#

i hope that, one day, you are able to realize that not everything you say is objective fact and that you can, in fact, be wrong sometimes

#

thinking that your opinion is above all else is extremely unhealthy for yourself and those around you who are just trying to discuss in a place like this feedback thread

sweet marlin
#

and raids/LR are static, they don't have that much variation to allow higher skill ceiling.

finite prism
#

This game does require a good bit of skill but like its kinda skewed cause you can kill shit in 5 seconds

dim pivot
#

how much you optimize your build directly correlates to how difficult the game will be for you

#

hyperoptimizing down to the bone will naturally make this game a cakewalk compared to using something intentionally underpowered

finite prism
#

I dont think this game isnt skillful its just like very unbalanced

dim pivot
#

should this be the case? probably not, but it’s how it is

shell silo
#

items have too much despairity in power

languid prism
dim pivot
shell silo
#

weak items and strong items are too far apart basically, the game has to either be designed for easy players, so the good builds player clear with no challenge, or skilled players, so casual players have no chance

finite prism
#

You can see it in early game, cause early game is wayyyy more balanced and a at level bovine barn for example takes a good amount of skill

patent cove
shell silo
#

at level ice barrows is a nightmare

sweet marlin
patent cove
#

i remember when raids released every single class i owned was using a WFA water or air mythic build

dim pivot
finite prism
#

Im ngl the whole time ive played this game its never been like even slightly balanced so i dont even know what a balanced wynncraft even looks like

patent cove
dim pivot
#

the only noteworthy item that has been added in the past like handful of patches is legit just Etiolation

finite prism
#

Dude this item is insane meta!!! And proceeds to send the shittiest build known to maniind

languid prism
finite prism
#

Titano mainly the tcc items

sweet marlin
patent cove
dim pivot
#

any weapon they add has such a high likelyhood of being garbage but if it isn’t it’s always used for some weird stuff that ends up absolutely shattering the meta for like no reason

finite prism
#

I wont lie tho the balance of the game is more of an at thing

#

Than an im thing

shell silo
#

the items are more important to balance than AT, they decide the baseline of everything

patent cove
#

like definitionally

shell silo
#

this game getting insane numbers because there are so many factors

dim pivot
finite prism
#

Bro creating a boss around this balancing sounds like aids

velvet rampart
dim pivot
#

in a perfect world items would be less polarizing in balance but with all of the item bloat that exists in the game it is inevitable that there will be a very large distinction between and is good and what isnt

shell silo
#

there are high skill ceiling builds, thing is those builds are barely worth it or use desperate facsimile

finite prism
shell silo
#

all etw builds are high skill ceiling

finite prism
#

I dont think 50% of items are even touched

velvet rampart
#

Then do it

dim pivot
sweet marlin
grim nova
#

Rework all items and buff hmelee 🙏🙏🙏

patent cove
finite prism
#

Also the problem is there seems to be a lot of hybrid items beinf release but hybrid is pretty dogshit

#

So it doesnt really matter does it

sweet marlin
finite prism
dim pivot
shell silo
#

melee needs at help

finite prism
#

There seems to be a very large disconnect b/w the ims and at

dim pivot
sweet marlin
#

dungeon items should come with rolls and balanced, tbf whole dungeon loot system could use a redone

finite prism
shell silo
#

basically ims have to make stronger melee items because the tree has nothing to buff it

#

and this is unbalanced

velvet rampart
#

Then nobody uses the melee items anyway

finite prism
#

Tbh they should just not release half this shit till it gets atree support

dim pivot
finite prism
#

Cause its gonna be down in the fucking dumps for 10 whole years

shell silo
#

the did add damage ids

sweet marlin
#

also there is some limitations in the dmg/hp and other scales, spell dmg should be converted to "mana/magic dmg", not all spells should use that type of dmg

shell silo
#

uh

finite prism
#

??

sweet marlin
#

like

dim pivot
#

hell no

shell silo
#

elements exist, if you want op spells to have like air dmg specifically or something but

sweet marlin
sweet marlin
#

or hybrid scales in AT

grim nova
#

Is English a second language for you?

sweet marlin
#

yes

velvet rampart
#

Why does bash scale with magic

grim nova
#

Ok I understand it now

patent cove
#

we already have spell damage raw, spell damage %, damage %, damage raw, elemental damage %, elemental damage raw, and then % and raw for every individual element too we dont need more stat bloat

shell silo
#

maybe the solution to this high dps meta is to decrease the cps cap once again

patent cove
finite prism
grim nova
#

6 cps cap saltroll

shell silo
#

8 cps i would say

sweet marlin
dim pivot
finite prism
#

Dmg

grim nova
dim pivot

yes!!!

sweet marlin

#

Melee range isnt that bad tbh

patent cove
finite prism
#

Its just melee is dogshit 👎👎

sweet marlin
grim nova
patent cove
dim pivot
shell silo
#

melee bad because at has no melee

finite prism
#

Wow dude this item has 56% thorns 5% reflection 80% elemental defenses lets go!

sweet marlin
velvet rampart
#

I still have no idea how damage works in wynn icl

#

My weapon does earth but my spell does 100% neutral and 20% water?

sweet marlin
#

hana...

patent cove
#

thats allyou need to know to basically understand how damage works tbh

dim pivot
#

whats a master modifier

velvet rampart
#

Doesn't base damage go up with tdrop?

patent cove
dim pivot
#

ohh

grim nova
#

Oh

velvet rampart
#

So should I tdrop my reso a lil bit to get more damage or what

languid prism
#

wtf no

patent cove
languid prism
#

if it did tstack epoch would be the best spell bow

dim pivot
#

i think it used to consider +atk spd tiers before

sweet marlin
languid prism
patent cove
# velvet rampart How does raw spell fit in

raw spell and spell % are the same thing its just raw spell is directly applied to that bundle and % first takes its % from your base then becomes a raw value, this is why raw is better on mage and warrior and % is better on the rest,

so alka has a base dps of around 680 iirc, a spell damage tome is + 73 damage a spell% tome is + 10%, 10% of 680 is 68 so raw spell is slightly better, on immo with a base dps of 950ish 10% is 95 so % is better

velvet rampart
#

Wait so should I switch my raw spell cr to %

#

On reso

patent cove
velvet rampart
#

I'll get back to cooking ig

remote peak
#

Wow this sure is an argument

velvet rampart
#

Maybe I can finally break 2mil damage per screenshot

shell silo
#

usually warrior and mage are better for raw spell, while archer assassin and shaman are better for %

patent cove
#

also one thing worth mentioning is that theres no diminishing returns for damage modifiers, raw spell will always be better on mage even if you have like 10k raw spell and 0 %, you dont need to diversify

velvet rampart
#

Why tho

patent cove
languid prism
sweet marlin
#

base dmg of wands is low

patent cove
#

ppl think having like 50% wd 50% sd is better than 100% sd when its like basically the same thing

#

(unless your weapon does split damage or ur using an ability with damage conversion)

velvet rampart
#

I mean reso does earth and water but aura does air

sweet marlin
#

so because is low, having a wand with 400 base damage have 100% spell dmg would result in 800 spell dmg

patent cove
sweet marlin
patent cove
shell silo
#

archer should get fluid healing fr.... (no heal spells)

sweet marlin
velvet rampart
#

So should I stack wd% because reso does water or because BS does 20% water

patent cove
languid prism
#

spell is usually better unless ur weapon does all one type of damage

patent cove
#

any water damage u get is just a bonus

shell silo
#

spell% is better than elemental%, but elemental % is more common and abundant

languid prism
#

but even then optimizing damage to that level is mostly trial and error

patent cove
velvet rampart
#

So I should care more about my weapon elemental damage type instead of my spell elemental damage type?

restive zodiac
#

low skill floor and high skill celling can coexist u know?

languid prism
restive zodiac
finite prism
#

You can tell theres a skill gap in this game by witnessing the specimens from pfinder

sweet marlin
languid prism
#

any elemental damage you get along the way is a bonus

patent cove
restive zodiac
#

skill gap is big enough for casual players to enjoy the game without tryharding and for experienced players to greately outperform other ppl

velvet rampart

# sweet marlin .

" there is no point by going 4 fallen that die the instant they get to the boss without doing dmg "

sweet marlin
finite prism
#

I think etw is a decent example of skill expression in this game

patent cove
# sweet marlin is not big enough

youre a troll dude, my friend played with me for the first time in 3 years on lb, i played fallen, i did 26mil every boss and he did barely anything, explain that in a way oither than skill expression LOL

finite prism
#

If you werent able to kill the boss in 4 seconds that is

sweet marlin
#

like i said before " i never said fallen wasn't harder, but is like in LoL comparing Silver IV with Silver III skills"

restive zodiac
#

i think skill expression is perfectly fine in wynn
u can play completely casually and we relevant in parties
or u can tryhard and see a significant difference (idk if significant enough to be sattisfying im dogwater at this game)

sweet marlin
#

a high skill ceiling will just make casual players less interested in playing the game

patent cove
sweet marlin
#

more dmg in the same build = more skill

restive zodiac
patent cove
velvet rampart
#

It's not required to be cracked to play the game

sweet marlin
velvet rampart
#

Anni is fucked in so many ways I dont that criticism is valid

shell silo
#

skill floor: the amount of skill you need to play a specific playstyle
skill ceiling: the amount of skill you need to perform perfectly with a specific playstyle

sweet marlin
#

you don't require a lot of skills to play wynncraft and you don't need a lot of time to perform good in every playstyle

restive zodiac
finite prism
#

The skill in anni is not lagging 2 minites behind

shell silo
#

have you seen altersurf, reso shatter, etw fallen, rage gma or even sharpshooter?

sweet marlin
#

is not that dificult

restive zodiac
#

go do no hit nol or li mr wynn has low skill celling

sweet marlin
#

i don't like those playstyles because i have not that much fun, not because they are dificult

#

i play healers in games, so i play lament

velvet rampart
sweet marlin
#

.

patent cove
#

you are LYING OUT YOUR ASS you have all your hours on mage

sweet marlin
#

i have played with other accounts, why you think i have a lot of blank spaces

#

have you think about why i have played since 2014 but i only play mage?

patent cove
sweet marlin

sweet marlin

i never said i didn't only play lament

restive zodiac

#

youre allowed to play lament only, you are not allowed to play lament only and then go say other things are or arent hard when you have literally 0 experience with them

sweet marlin
#

.

neat elk
#

honestly I never have seen people camp on pillars

patent cove
# sweet marlin .

why do you think you are at all qualified to talk about the skill expression of other classes then

sweet marlin
neat elk
#

lol you were doing this with tcc too

patent cove
sweet marlin
restive zodiac
neat elk
#

you were literally saying tcc didn’t force you to move horizontally bc you can tank all attacks

sweet marlin
#

sometimes, not always

sweet marlin
#

i like lament bc i like water related elements in games and agressive healers, not because of skill

#

i play lament in every posible game, as an autistic i tend to stick to one gamestyle

neat elk
#

yes but of course lament lightbenders can camp on pillars, it's the only class I could see realistically doing it

patent cove
# sweet marlin yeah, i have tried, but i don't have as much fun

bloodshatter is objectively diffiuclt it has strict timings, extremely punishing mistakes, a diffuclt spell cycle, and requires active thought, you could not have played it for like 10 seconds and been good enough you got bored the likely case is youre either lying out your ass or touched it on your friends account for 3 seconds and then realized it was too hard and never tried again

sweet marlin
#

and abso

#

tecnically hadal in some builds

patent cove
#

these are not classes that can complete the content in a reasonable ammount of time!

sweet marlin
#

but like, going hadal in TNA is not that much common

sweet marlin
patent cove
restive zodiac
sweet marlin
#

not as fun as lament, but still fun

restive zodiac
#

it does 20 dps on a good day and provides 0 value to your party

patent cove
neat elk
#

you keep saying things are "problems" with the game when in reality you just cheese them with massive tankiness/heals lol

patent cove
#

like this guy would have us believe he plays more on other accounts than his main atp

restive zodiac
#

lol

neat elk
#

you said you could stand in the middle of tcc's blue beam and tank attacks at the same time without dying too as a reason that tcc doesn't do enough

patent cove
#

and is just naturally talented at every difficult playstyle to the point it comes so easily he cant tell the difference between burst fallen and glue

sweet marlin
neat elk
#

you say tcc doesn't force horizontal mobility as if everyone just sits there and tanks hits

restive zodiac
#

as a support main and a winded slave in my guild captains basement i can comfortably say that u have no real experience outside of spamming heal

sweet marlin
neat elk
#

you are literally sitting there and absorbing attacks, you are tanking

restive zodiac
neat elk
#

sitting right next to a boss, not avoiding any attacks, and relying on your healing to survive every single attack is just tanking lol

sweet marlin
#

i have a lot of builds for lament

neat elk

ripe plover

gamebreaking ragebait im reading from hami 🔥

neat elk
#

I do not believe hami plays wynncraft on other accounts

sweet marlin
#

with the fabled bracelet from ROL you avoid fall dmg so you can tp up 5-10 times

shell silo
#

without proof we cannot believe

sweet marlin
#

but i like fall dmg bc it can proc other LB nodes

restive zodiac
sweet marlin
dim pivot
#

im curious to see the hours u played on the builds ur talking about

#

cuz it's physically impossible to take your skill ceiling argument seriously when the only proof of you playing is on rainbow lament lightbender

#

literally one of the easiest things to play in the entire game

sweet marlin
dim pivot
#

ok but that has literally nothign to do with the argument

#

like you're saying all the classes i listed earlier have very low skill ceilings depsite you having 0 proof that you've even touched them in your life before

dim pivot
#

in fact you're confident enough to say that all of those classes can be mastered within a month tops 💀

patent cove
#

was it really ragebait the whole time

sweet marlin
sweet marlin
dim pivot
#

.

sweet marlin
#

but yeah, keep it that way, those playstyles are strong, nerf those things who do 2 million dps

dim pivot
#

LIKE HALF OF THE PLAYSTYLES I MENTIONED ARE CONSIDERED TO BE SO GARBAGE BY LIKE LITERALLY EVERYONE 😭

#

acro is still quite weak unless extremely optimized by nirvana and nirvana alone
sharp is abhorrently garbage. even moreso for how much effort it takes to play spellsharp
battlemonk is also not worth the effort it takes to master

sweet marlin
#

bmonk is trash i agree

dim pivot
#

depends on which

#

even then you'd also need to highly rely on optimized builds for cata to work because of how much mana you have to put into the build

sweet marlin
restive zodiac
dim pivot
restive zodiac
dim pivot
#

if we're doing that then every build in the game is extremely strong dude

#

consus have 0 merit do the strength of a build

sweet marlin
dim pivot
restive zodiac
#

i feel like i’m in a hsb discord rn

patent cove
dim pivot
#

if cata relies on mana consus to exist then is has 0 merit in its strength

patent cove
dim pivot
#

in fact that should go to say how weak it is because you need these outside factors in order for it to work

#

like is it really valid to say "oh but i have 17 Invigorating Wave shamans constantly spamming aura on me so in practice this build actually sustains!"

#

like no that has no merit

patent cove
languid prism

sweet marlin
#

i like using consus for some playstyles, like -hpr with lament is fun

#

glass cannon

neat elk

no way youre going to try to argue -hpr consus for lament and mana regen consus that literally let your build function at a basic level are remotely comparable in utility

hami no one is questioning your love of healers...
