I stopped playing monk a while ago
playing the worst archetype in the game gets tiring 😔

acrobat still remains ahh in rooms

Yes it's genuinely ass in rooms LOL

#

no? i tried several times running grim on nol, its just terrible because you lose your clones more often

coarse garden
#

oh okay

#

didn't think of the clone part

#

ig it largely depends on wether you have agro

#

and if ur teamates are nice

glad moss
#

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

glad moss
#

in total glassy trickster is not the options for nol

glad moss
#

idk im the big mac, i think they are just casting ec and bs

coarse garden
#

how fast did the boss die

#

and was this post nerf?

glad moss
#

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

glad moss
#

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’ve also seen cata videos of it doing ridiculous damage in raids.

Aka bug abuse

#

Or just misleading "dps" which is actually just the theoretically possible dps peak during a few seconds of burst

mystic gull
#

ah yea

#

ts does not count brudda

coarse garden
#

That’s mostly what this thread is about

mystic gull
#

I wouldn't call that a nerf. I'd call that a patch or a fix.

coarse garden
#

I’m personally fine as long as smoke stacking gets removed(which it is going to be🙂)

coarse garden
#

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

winged nest
#

specifically term. acro is getting buffs in the next patch and more qol in the future

coarse garden
#

Also ripple does not seem to do like anything

winged nest
#

term is still iffy on some stuff but we should be able to convince him of more

winged nest
#

idt you need to make another thread since thats basically all the assassin rework feedback thread has devolved into lol

coarse garden
#

okay thanks

winged nest
#

its like 90% acro 9% trick and 1% shade atp

vagrant umbra
#

we did have a good dicussion about shade fairly recently

coarse garden
#

I dropped a hana from annie yesterday, 96% elemntal damage, 33% multihit cost, and 66% smoke bomb cost, think it's a good roll?

winged nest
#

keep tbh

#

with a good enough build the costs dont matter

coarse garden
#

k thanks

winged nest
#

hana is my comfort pick on acro when im not playing good enough for cata or nirv

#

its oddly reliable and outputs good damage

coarse garden
#

even hana can only deal like 300k dps, other annie mythics far outclass it

winged nest
#

thats partially an acro thing yeah

coarse garden
#

that's with crafteds, non crafted is like 200k

winged nest
#

my noncrafted does 300ish

coarse garden
#

which is really sad for an annie mythic

coarse garden
#

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

winged nest
#

it was only played for viability a little during 2.0, rn its sad

coarse garden
#

I rarely see acros in raids and when I do they deal very low damage compared to other players in the party

winged nest
coarse garden
winged nest
#

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)

coarse garden
#

fair

winged nest
#

it isnt like cata where i die every 2 ms lol

winged nest
#

i wouldnt totally rely on agi but if you play like normal acro this build should do fine

coarse garden
winged nest
#

lol true, i think i survive better on divzer than cata

#

and nirv is just a good midpoint between the two

coarse garden
#

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

winged nest
#

like i have a reason to run hana over any other dagger

coarse garden
#

It's viable but not meta exactly

winged nest
#

again, i blame it on acro rather than hana being weak. its a solid dagger with surprising damage for the ehp

coarse garden
#

I agree that acro is the real problem tho

winged nest
#

it just lacks any sort of gimmick like the other annie weapons

coarse garden
winged nest
#

reso has the bsorrow thing, bbath has -mr, laby is laby, and trance is not a thing

coarse garden
#

even trance rivals hana damage if I'm correct, doesn't it get like 250k dps with decent tankyness and heals?

winged nest
#

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)

glad moss
coarse garden
#

And we had two divzers and they did similar damage to us.

#

Divzer gets like 650k

glad moss

coarse garden
glad moss
#

how is that hard??????

coarse garden
#

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?

glad moss
#

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

coarse garden
glad moss
#

but divzer can get noxious rly easily cuz i ve run tcc using div like many many times with trickster

coarse garden
#

On other bosses to get into the smoke bomb area you would be getting very close to the boss

glad moss
#

yeah but you can rarely meet tricksters in other raids

coarse garden
#

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

glad moss
#

pfinders wont serve for you. but yeah trickster does rly well with good team work

#

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

stark timber
#

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).

#

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

coarse garden
devout marten
#

but if a mythic comes from annie it doesn't mean it should be stronger. Thats the core of what im saying

coarse garden
#

plz

stark timber
#

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

coarse garden
winged nest
coarse garden
#

still wouldn't hurt for acro to get a buff, hana is fine as it is

stark timber
#

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

winged nest
coarse garden
#

A decent Hana is at least 10 stacks iirc

#

You can buy a decent Olympic for under 2 stacks

winged nest
#

thats true, but that goes back to the "should anni mythics be stronger than normal ones"

coarse garden
winged nest
devout marten
#

theres always gonna be something thats better lets be real

coarse garden
#

Yeah that’s why I can’t wait for an acro buff

winged nest
#

im waiting for this wednesday

coarse garden
winged nest
#

nirv is still meta option and cata is the haha funny dagger

devout marten
#

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"

coarse garden
winged nest
#

any dagger is better on those two

devout marten
#

something else being better doesn't mean that its unusable on the first thing

#

things aint so black and white lol

tranquil phoenix
winged nest
#

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

tranquil phoenix
#

i’d do many things to make oblivion acro usable lol

#

my favourite dagger cant be used on acro :(

coarse garden
#

You could say depressing stick is usable because someone almost soloed Annie with it.

winged nest
devout marten
coarse garden
#

Well I’ve heard they are buffing it but what you just said made me want to double check

devout marten
#

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

coarse garden
coarse garden
winged nest
#

I will say i still wish hana was more gimmicky

devout marten
#

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

compact gyro
#

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

devout marten
#

"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

Ill change it

coarse garden
#

Ig I came across wrong

tranquil phoenix
#

smoke stack isnt what props trickster up this much

winged nest
#

It kinda is

coarse garden
tranquil phoenix
#

no, spin cycle on trickster is extremely good too

coarse garden
#

Spinboozle is op but not as game breaking as smoke stack

winged nest
#

How much dps and with how much ehp?

tranquil phoenix
#

it’s not as good as smoke, but it’s incredibly strong

coarse garden
#

So I’m willing to compromise

coarse garden
winged nest
#

Bursts…

tranquil phoenix
coarse garden
#

Not much downtime because of sandbagging too

winged nest
#

How much downtime?

tranquil phoenix
coarse garden
# winged nest Bursts…

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

winged nest
#

Even a 2:1 uptime/downtime ratio makes 400k bursts balanced

winged nest
coarse garden
#

Most of the downtime is removed by an ability called sandbagging

coarse garden
tranquil phoenix
tranquil phoenix
#

i use a 15k ehp trickster build and feel invincible

winged nest
coarse garden
#

What dps? Smokestack or spin?

tranquil phoenix
winged nest
tranquil phoenix
coarse garden
#

Possibly agility or smth, also wynncraft has a lot of small hits

tranquil phoenix
#

nah i have 35 def

coarse garden
stark timber
#

Mirage procs sandbagging

winged nest
#

Ohhh

coarse garden
tranquil phoenix
#

if you dont use mirage your tree is 10 times worse

stark timber
#

(And they still don’t tell you what it does in the description)

tranquil phoenix
#

yeah lol

coarse garden
tranquil phoenix
#

im doing that rn

coarse garden
#

K thanks

stark timber
#

And you’re talking about the dps during the burst?

#

With everything hitting

coarse garden
#

Smokestack isn’t too bursty iirc

tranquil phoenix
#

peak 1.3 mil on my first attempt

stark timber
#

Ok that is dummy damage

tranquil phoenix
#

i cant raid rn :P

coarse garden
tranquil phoenix
#

ofc

coarse garden
tranquil phoenix
#

i wouldnt be vouching for this if it didnt

coarse garden
#

Also I’ve seen tricksters perform very well in raids

tranquil phoenix
#

oh i dont even have the right aspects on oops

stark timber
#

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

coarse garden
stark timber
#

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

tranquil phoenix
coarse garden
#

also that much burst is enough to phase any boss instantly lol

#

Imagine a full party of that

tranquil phoenix
#

i can vouch that it is :P

stark timber
#

How bad is the qol, do you just try to melee a lot?

#

I usually run tanky grim

tranquil phoenix
#

and its extremely close range so its not like you have to go out of your way to do it

stark timber
#

Well yeah I just mean i think it’d be kinda awkward because trick is a bit slow and clunky

tranquil phoenix
#

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

stark timber
#

When I played oblivion shade I had trouble mostly on tna with following the boss

coarse garden
#

If the boss phases in 2 seconds you don’t need mobility

stark timber
#

Kept missing the melee, nol was a lot easier though

coarse garden
#

It has like double divzer damage, and divzer is very strong rn

final marlin
# tranquil phoenix peak 1.3 mil on my first attempt

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

stark timber
#

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

tranquil phoenix
tranquil phoenix
#

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

final marlin
#

oh okay

tranquil phoenix
#

bamboozle's movement helps a lot with this too

final marlin
#

might just be my unknowledgable ass because I only played nirv trick on tcc ever and that's it

tranquil phoenix
#

fair

stark timber
#

If the boss is actually aggrod on you and not the clones how are you not taking too much damage

tranquil phoenix
#

assassin is my most played class

final marlin
#

but still I think you're disregarding the few seconds downtime even with peak sandbagging proccing that occur

coarse garden
final marlin
#

which literally slice your dps since its nothing when clones down
the issue that smoke doesnt have

stark timber
#

I’m surprised 15k is enough for that

tranquil phoenix
#

i have 19.5k base

stark timber
#

Oh 20k

tranquil phoenix
#

yeah i thought it was 15k but i upgraded my build

#

either way 90k is so overblown xd

coarse garden
tranquil phoenix
#

🤯 im sorry

stark timber
coarse garden
tranquil phoenix
#

atp use cata

#

it does like double the damage of this im not exaggerating

#

i have a clip i think

coarse garden
#

That would be a sight

slender void
#

It would be 1 cata 1 guard 1 reso 1 something else

tranquil phoenix

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

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

# coarse garden wdym by bmonk is cooked lol, am I missing some secret meta build or smth?

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

#

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

stark timber
#

when you're standing on the dummy i think it constantly proccs sandbagging

Didn't you say it was morph b monk bonk or smth??

it was in onol and we killed the boss very fast

viscid fox
#

hell yeah morph 4 evah don't look at my build

coarse garden
#

cause that was a rly fast clear, first pfinder party that ever matched my divzer damage completely

viscid fox
#

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

I have a friend who carried g raid TCC with 50k dps bmonk because he didn't have a good build

yay my friend will love that

thanks

idk if your friend will like 30 dura crafteds and 6/8 cr

coarse garden
#

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.

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)
