#Trickster should be nerfed
1 messages · Page 2 of 1
I stopped playing monk a while ago
playing the worst archetype in the game gets tiring 😔
I mean like it’s warrior so like u can’t really get worse than 360 degree free damage
acrobat still remains ahh in rooms
true
What, you mean you don't like being forced to hold platforms?
Yes it's genuinely ass in rooms LOL
I general having a mob yanked away from you by someone else is able to unpleasant experience 🥀
no? i tried several times running grim on nol, its just terrible because you lose your clones more often
oh okay
didn't think of the clone part
ig it largely depends on wether you have agro
and if ur teamates are nice
and due to its limited reach, glass grim would always die while it's trying to do some dmg
shaman and bolts are far more better choices for meta parties
the biggest problem for trickster in nol is that you cant proc your mirage to reduce your mirrors cd and once the orphion start Rampage, you have to stay there doing nothing but waiting for cds and messing up your cds again because you have to cast dash to avoid getting oneshot by orphion's crash
ive tried 1big mac guardian and 3 reso party in nol, that would finish the battle like in one sec because big mac charges reso's blood pool at the start of the battle. Usually acos have to wait accumulating blood pool at the start of the boss fight, big mac solves that
while waiting for cds, the mobs roaming around the boss room becomes the biggest problem, you can only hope there would be a super aoe class like shaman, fallen or bolt to help you out unless you like to spending tons of mana casting single spin(not 3rd spells cause you would mess up your cds again)
in total glassy trickster is not the options for nol
shatter reso I assume?
idk im the big mac, i think they are just casting ec and bs
i don remember but its just like the fastest: orphion can only do one move then he goes to the sun and then die
like 5 secs one phase ig
i rly think you should just try these "meta" before you saying anything abt it
the feeling you gave me is like you don know anything abt trikster in actual combat. i feel like the only thing you know is that cata/grim is doing incredible dps on dummy
...I have been summoned...
I’ve seen some meta builds just not all of them
Oh okay I’ve had a party that did that, we had a bmonk even which was crazy
"we had a bmonk even which was crazy" 😭
geegee bmonk is officially cooked
???
Nah I’ve used nulli tank smokestack and easily carried g raid tna in a few minutes
I’ve also seen cata videos of it doing ridiculous damage in raids.
I have information on these things, I just like confirming with multiple types of sources and builds.
I’ve seen tank tricksters deal divzer damage in raids
Was this before trickster rework
Smokespam
Aka bug abuse
Or just misleading "dps" which is actually just the theoretically possible dps peak during a few seconds of burst
No after, trickster smoke stack is crazy broken, good that it’s being removed
That’s mostly what this thread is about
I wouldn't call that a nerf. I'd call that a patch or a fix.
Some bugs are kept, also there were people proposing it wasn’t a bug, which was proven wrong but only after I made a post on it.
I’m personally fine as long as smoke stacking gets removed(which it is going to be🙂)
How many ppl here agree that acrobat deserves a buff?
I'm considering making a post on it but want to make sure I'm not just being delusional
the devs are aware
specifically term. acro is getting buffs in the next patch and more qol in the future
Also ripple does not seem to do like anything
term is still iffy on some stuff but we should be able to convince him of more
yay 🙂
idt you need to make another thread since thats basically all the assassin rework feedback thread has devolved into lol
okay thanks
its like 90% acro 9% trick and 1% shade atp
we did have a good dicussion about shade fairly recently
I dropped a hana from annie yesterday, 96% elemntal damage, 33% multihit cost, and 66% smoke bomb cost, think it's a good roll?
k thanks
hana is my comfort pick on acro when im not playing good enough for cata or nirv
its oddly reliable and outputs good damage
even hana can only deal like 300k dps, other annie mythics far outclass it
thats partially an acro thing yeah
that's with crafteds, non crafted is like 200k
my noncrafted does 300ish
which is really sad for an annie mythic
huh I thought crafted did 300k but maybe I'm wrong
Still could be a lot better, and almost no one plays acro anymore for viability, only for fun or cause they dropped a hana or smth
it was only played for viability a little during 2.0, rn its sad
I rarely see acros in raids and when I do they deal very low damage compared to other players in the party
heres the build btw, can defo be optimized but its good enough
https://wynnbuilder.github.io/builder/#CM0jxG0Eiw3X7m05swG15ms1AFuE0uzg+DswEe2
Wynnbuilder build:
Gnossis
Phantasmagoria
Funambulist
Capricorn
Moon Pool Circlet
Draoi Fair
Prowess
Reckoning
Hanafubuki []
not to mention pretty glassy ehp
uh... this is acro
19k is tanky af
this build is really hard to die in (unless you skill issue like me)
the only times i die are when i do something REALLY stupid (miscast and fly right into greg, or fly directly into one of those void hole shooty things)
fair
it isnt like cata where i die every 2 ms lol
And agility needs to fail
i wouldnt totally rely on agi but if you play like normal acro this build should do fine
you could compare almost any glass cannon to cata and claim it's tanky in comparison
lol true, i think i survive better on divzer than cata
and nirv is just a good midpoint between the two
Nice thing about having a hana build is that you will be ready for the buff when it comes.
I'm gonna put a hana build together soon
hana alr got buffed and imo its in a good spot, just that acro needs to be buffed
like i have a reason to run hana over any other dagger
Hana is mid but for an annie mythic it's sorta underpowered, reso gets more dps and can play support
It's viable but not meta exactly
again, i blame it on acro rather than hana being weak. its a solid dagger with surprising damage for the ehp
I agree that acro is the real problem tho
it just lacks any sort of gimmick like the other annie weapons
Yeah I like the elemental damage thing, it allows for more unique spell damage building builds
reso has the bsorrow thing, bbath has -mr, laby is laby, and trance is not a thing
even trance rivals hana damage if I'm correct, doesn't it get like 250k dps with decent tankyness and heals?
i blame it again on acro being acro
comparing acro build to acro build hana/nirv/cata seem to all be in a really good spot
this is really obvious when you plug in weathered or something. the damage just falls off a cliff (obli is ms but once acro gets ms use i think i will join hana/nirv/cata)
omg how can tanky trickster outdmg divzer, its the skill issues problem
I met someone in pfinder who got like 700k dps they said
And we had two divzers and they did similar damage to us.
Divzer gets like 650k
yeah you've seen because they just simply post out the well-performed demos, not like the one they failed and died. From my perspective, spin cata is only good for tcc boss room because it can proc mirage to tigger sandbagging and constantly deal dmg by having their clones on
no? because you can get noxious buff from trick?
I did several runs with them and they consistently performed almost as well as divzer while being almost immortal(as I said we had two divzers so it was easy to average out)
If ur standing in smoke bomb, which is very hard as a glass cannon
how is that hard??????
Mobility is your greatest asset in defense, if you have to stand in smoke bomb you give that up
Smokestack occurs literally on top of the boss, so if divzer wants the extra damage they would need to go inside the boss and get one shot
You’ve played smokestack with a divzer before I assume?
im not denying that trickster performs better than divzer in boss room, but that only for glassy tricksters
its what i've done with glassy grim
It doesn’t out damage divzer but gets close
Wow impressive gg
but divzer can get noxious rly easily cuz i ve run tcc using div like many many times with trickster
Only in TCC
On other bosses to get into the smoke bomb area you would be getting very close to the boss
yeah but you can rarely meet tricksters in other raids
I meet quite a few tricksters, but maybe I’m just lucky or smth
As for bosses moving, with a good team you can keep the boss in smoke area
Imagine a full nulli trickster smokestack party with war consumables XD
Would almost be harder to die then to win
pfinders wont serve for you. but yeah trickster does rly well with good team work
im not using consumables btw
Then again teamwork takes skill as well so ig that’s the main downside, needing coordination.
Just so you're aware, Annie mythics are not meant to be stronger than regular mythics
hello?
why you pinging me sir
mythics dropped from the strongest boss in the game that typically requires a team of 10 people to quickly kill
mythics from it that are rare are not supposed to be more powerful
???
Mythics are mythics. Mythics dropped from any particular activity have not been designed to be stronger than mythics dropped from anywhere else
i will disagree with you there, they should be stronger as they are more exlusive but i can see your thought process
It's not a point of disagreement its the express design choices of the item makers
its obviously fine to think they should be stronger but the aren't supposed to be
All of the anni mythics are like 100-105 though, some of the highest level mythics atm, and they're pretty much objectively the hardest mythics to get because you are limited to 1 chance per 3 days (assuming you are unemployed, don't sleep, and thus will even be able to try each one). There's also no skill expression besides winning the event at all to determine how fast you get them, unlike lootrunning.
I have a hard time believing the item makers all think all mythics should be the exact same level of strength when they have different methods of obtaining them and range from level 65 to 104.
At the very least for being near max level the anni mythics should be stronger than most other mythics, I don't think that's crazy to say on top of the fact they're much harder to get. I'm personally a fan of less overall differences in equipment strength to make the game friendlier to new and casual players, but it's a little ridiculous for some of the hardest items to get in the game to be literally worse than the easier alternatives (looking at hana and trance, reso is strong, bloodbath is good for what it does, laby idk how good it is rn).
Mythics have been nerfed before to make their efficiency reflect their corresponding level range
Well like the low lvl ones are pretty weak comparatively
except ashock technically
Ashock is still pgood compared to sstar
And apoc melee is a bit better too
But like everything beyond lvl 90 is all the same
okay my bad
wdym by bmonk is cooked lol, am I missing some secret meta build or smth?
well obviously level plays a part in the strength of every item
but if a mythic comes from annie it doesn't mean it should be stronger. Thats the core of what im saying
Thanks for the correction, still, buff acro 🙂
plz
I think they should at least all on par with mythics at the max level range, which I don’t think hana and trance really are
hana is a good mythic it's just that acro isn't a strong class rn
hana is on par. it gets solid ehp and has good dps
still wouldn't hurt for acro to get a buff, hana is fine as it is
Agi ehp isn’t that useful, especially since it’s at a pretty mediocre value
When you get hit you get hit very hard, but yeah I guess it’s more of an acro issue
However, the item is also basically useless without a very good roll on it. I don’t think things should be only balanced around their best values
i mean from running it in tna a ton, it works fine. it is really reliable and agi procs enough that it is a bit hard to die on
Yeah I love defense…
True but there are far cheaper items like Olympic that can get better damage with better ehp and other qol things
A decent Hana is at least 10 stacks iirc
You can buy a decent Olympic for under 2 stacks
thats true, but that goes back to the "should anni mythics be stronger than normal ones"
It’s not even equal to Olympic, Olympic is a better option in most situations. I have an Olympic build with double the ehp of ur Hana build and similar if not better dps
again, acro problem not hana problem
theres always gonna be something thats better lets be real
Yeah that’s why I can’t wait for an acro buff
im waiting for this wednesday
True but acro is way below anything else, Hana is pretty much the only viable option.
cata/nirv are both solid for acro
nirv is still meta option and cata is the haha funny dagger
The way I know that its not bad is that every person i speak to says a different version of "x weapon is the only viable one"
I’m pretty sure shade and trick are far better options for those mythics
any dagger is better on those two
something else being better doesn't mean that its unusable on the first thing
things aint so black and white lol
cata acro is quite solid for dps
hana/nirv/cata are all good daggers and imo they are all pretty balanced
then you got weathered/inferno/nulli acro which is...
obli would join hana/nirv/cata if acro could use ms
i’d do many things to make oblivion acro usable lol
my favourite dagger cant be used on acro :(
So do plan to buff it or not?
You could say depressing stick is usable because someone almost soloed Annie with it.
Acro buffs have been confirmed for a while…
well no you couldn't because thats an exaggeration
Well I’ve heard they are buffing it but what you just said made me want to double check
but I could say that doing 250k instead of 500k is perfectly usable because 250k still kills almost all content easily and puts you way above the average player even in raids
At the end of the day you can do what you want as you are the admin, I’m already far more than grateful enough to have wynncraft as a game.
Ig it also depends on what you think the average dps should be.
I will say i still wish hana was more gimmicky
my main point is that balancing becomes way more difficult when the level of "acceptable" has this insane range depending on who you ask lmao
like for example, my lspine lr build does ~400k peak burst dps (30w)
depending on who you ask, this is either amazing or trash because theirs does 800k or 1.2m
"good dps" has become such a rollercoaster that seems to vary just as much depending on the day of the week and what you had for breakfast this morning as it does what weapon/archetype you're using lmao
why do i agree with this more than i feel like 😭
I had muffins and sausages this morning so I’m feeling in a buff acro mood, maybe tomorrow I should have waffles and that will change my mind.
😂 this is genuinly how i feel sometimes when i read threads here
cause it's the truth
like today i picked up cosmic foundations and i believe it is a good set 
soon my war tank paladin will deal 1m dps, but this will be almost nothing
i still hate that that works
kinda real actually, the fact that this post has more dislikes than likes despite trickster blatantly being a top contender for the strongest class in the game is a good example of that xd
funny
:(
Terminated upvoted and Terminated counts for like 15 so more upvotes than downvotes fr
🤯
I downvoted cuz he was implying trick needed more than removing smokestack
i mean it does
Ill change it
Ig I came across wrong
smoke stack isnt what props trickster up this much
It kinda is
But it’s most of its power
no, spin cycle on trickster is extremely good too
Spinboozle is op but not as game breaking as smoke stack
How much dps and with how much ehp?
it’s not as good as smoke, but it’s incredibly strong
So I’m willing to compromise
I’ve used spin boozle and it gets like 400 or 500k bursts on a tank build lol
Bursts…
i’ll need to test i havent played it in a while, but i can vouch that it is very strong
Not much downtime because of sandbagging too
How much downtime?
identical
Look I already said I’m fine as long as they remove smokestack, as for your question is probably sustains 300k with a good player and 90k ehp if you don’t add clones or vanish
Even a 2:1 uptime/downtime ratio makes 400k bursts balanced
That seems pretty fair for trick. Maybe a bit high but imo thats fine
Most of the downtime is removed by an ability called sandbagging
The main reason I made this post was for smokestack which sustains 500k or 600k with hyper tank
the thing with this is that you’ll almost never need 90k ehp in almost any situation
Never hurts to have extra lol
except it does because you can transfer that ehp into dps
i use a 15k ehp trickster build and feel invincible
Can you proc sandbagging on it?
What dps? Smokestack or spin?
yep
Tf how
smoke, around 900k-1mil on bosses. i use obli
Possibly agility or smth, also wynncraft has a lot of small hits
nah i have 35 def
This is why I made this post
Mirage procs sandbagging
Ohhh
This too
yeah mirage is the best non-red ability on trickster im ngl
if you dont use mirage your tree is 10 times worse
(And they still don’t tell you what it does in the description)
yeah lol
Could you test how much this gets on spinboozle?
im doing that rn
K thanks
For the oblivion build?
Smokestack isn’t too bursty iirc
peak 1.3 mil on my first attempt
Ok that is dummy damage
i cant raid rn :P
Does it perform well in raids?
ofc
There, that’s the proof
i wouldnt be vouching for this if it didnt
Also I’ve seen tricksters perform very well in raids
oh i dont even have the right aspects on oops
Yeah my point is just that peak numbers don’t represent actual dps you’re doing in a raid because bosses move and stuff, it’s just a reference number between equivalent builds
I would ask your build but I know this is getting nerfed sooo…
I think it’d be reasonable to nerf smoke which we know they’re doing because it does a lot when it’s working perfectly, but I think spin would have to be compensated
it's not difficult to have the boss aggro you on trickster. you can easily tank it if it does
also that much burst is enough to phase any boss instantly lol
Imagine a full party of that
i can vouch that it is :P
not a lot, its super slow attack speed
and its extremely close range so its not like you have to go out of your way to do it
Well yeah I just mean i think it’d be kinda awkward because trick is a bit slow and clunky
when i was early into playing trickster, yeah it was difficulty to get used to
but ive played it for 150-200 hours now so ive gotten used to it
When I played oblivion shade I had trouble mostly on tna with following the boss
If the boss phases in 2 seconds you don’t need mobility
this too
Kept missing the melee, nol was a lot easier though
Even without a good party you can phase onol or TNA on your own in like 8 seconds
It has like double divzer damage, and divzer is very strong rn
It's dummy meaning all spins be hitting.
Peak..
And you for sure will have some seconds downtime even with perfect sandbagging meaning if you burst so fast that you peak 1.6mil your average of that will literally be half if not less
I guess if your damage is high enough to kill in one cycle yeah, but divzer has a lot of advantages for general qol, you’re running around super fast killing everything around you constantly, some automatically with guardian angels
bro if im doing this on the boss then the hitbox will be bigger than the dummy's
that true on tcc
and it's not hard to get aggro on trickster you do a lot of hits
ive run this build over 500 times in tna. granted it was smokes most of the time but i had no trouble staying on top of the boss
oh okay
bamboozle's movement helps a lot with this too
might just be my unknowledgable ass because I only played nirv trick on tcc ever and that's it
fair
If the boss is actually aggrod on you and not the clones how are you not taking too much damage
assassin is my most played class
but still I think you're disregarding the few seconds downtime even with peak sandbagging proccing that occur
soul siphon + EHP
Double damage is a lot to sacrifice for qol…
which literally slice your dps since its nothing when clones down
the issue that smoke doesnt have
I’m surprised 15k is enough for that
i have 19.5k base
Oh 20k
yeah i thought it was 15k but i upgraded my build
either way 90k is so overblown xd
Wrong, 19.656k
🤯 im sorry
Smoke kinda does, the number builds up to the peak over a few seconds, but the damage is overall a bit more spread out
If anyone has a video of a TCC fight with 3 of something like this and one acolyte for buffs I would love to see that…
atp use cata
it does like double the damage of this im not exaggerating
i have a clip i think
Okay well 3 cata and one reso acolyte
That would be a sight
It would be 1 cata 1 guard 1 reso 1 something else
https://medal.tv/games/minecraft/clips/lo7t9ZOS1sbMkMNb3?invite=cr-MSxoUXksMjcxNzU1MjA4&v=96
some notes:
while it is true that there is a reso in the party, at the start of phase 3 you can see me peak just under 2 mil dps and easily sustain over 1 mil when the reso dies
also this is not meant to prove the EHP of the build as i'm being kept alive by a pala and a reso at the same time. mostly just showing to prove that spin attack is extremely strong on trickster, smoke is just barely better
Watch tna spin cycle trickster by autosmord and millions of other Minecraft videos on Medal. #minecraft
oh and my tree was kinda scuffed cuz this was my first raid on spin trickster after swapping from smoke trickster. i didnt even have shadow travel and i only used 44/45 AP
Wow gg well played
0 downtime in tna since with good timing u get 2 clone cycles every phase
🤝
this is also old and i made the build better since than
dude
100% comp it please
you have more hours on that ONE CLASS ALONE than i have on wynn
tbh this is more of like a fundamental design issue
hell no
i hate questing
fair
assassin 🥀
keep telling that to the 41 downvoters on this thread, kinda lost hope atp
idrc !
Gatekeeping it like its their personal info
k
Because people’s worth goes down to 0 when they share their wynncraft builds 😔
My worth is at 0 ig
you said you had a fast raid clear "with a bmonk which was crazy"
which I assume means your saying its crazy how we had a fast clear with a bmonk
and I reacted with 😭 because bmonk has been like the worst archetype in the game for a while now and when people are saying oh we had a good clear and it was with a bmonk, in my eyes bmonk is officially cooked
gaslight gatekeep girlboss 🤫
im running on this build but i only get like 6~8m/10s in sustain(proc mirage every cycle)?

with shade tree i can do like 7~8m/10s btw
with smokestacking tree its 10m~13m/10s
how is spin strong i doubt..... its only in tna you can have that nice performance cause you get 2 clone cycles after every watch
lul
when you're standing on the dummy i think it constantly proccs sandbagging
Okay my bad I’m stupid
i think it might've been me 😭
wait I think it was XD
Didn't you say it was morph b monk bonk or smth??
it was in onol and we killed the boss very fast
hell yeah morph 4 evah don't look at my build
Wait so it WAS you?! how much dps did you get lol
cause that was a rly fast clear, first pfinder party that ever matched my divzer damage completely
it's like 360k if im running optimal setup which i was
I also have a skill issue tho so it may have been that
on bmonk?! I'm assuming the build is secret.
I have a friend who carried g raid TCC with 50k dps bmonk because he didn't have a good build
https://wynnbuilder.github.io/builder/#CM0e10-CHWHoX16ZaHxIx1RY482CIECmOaCQNQF8Ja0HmZXRoZXRIQoU2SY441F6k9F6k9f9x9m9IG4yOucyOucacidOc81HmZXRoZXRIQoUISY4WgcbeE-1+30QF+YRCr3z
public build sharing
it is a purely raiding build fit to my own preferences
idk if your friend will like 30 dura crafteds and 6/8 cr
idk, he's good at the game but doesn't have a second class maxed, I think he would be happy to sacrifice crafting money and some time for actually good damage. I'll tell him who I got it from and help him get the items.
last thing, what cycle?
from what i've seen i cycle pretty differently to other people but i do it like this:
4233 (initialize generalist on upper)
rest of the time:
423 (gen on upper, main damage)
424233 (proc gen on scream and return back to gen on upper)
