Guys, i was thinking about ways of optimizing my Nex gear. Im doing trios, in The Kodai or NexFFA FC (so basically no fixed teammates, they could be good or very bad)
I have ZCB and Buckler, should i bring them? I think 8 brews is the minimum amount i can use rn.
I got zcb recently, so idk when is good to send a zcb or vw spec
sweet yarrow
I dunno much about Nex but surely the play is drop pegs drop angler bring ZCB bring buckler
@tropic tusk may be able to help
shut mulch
I thought you ran ultor with fang and vw over lb
Dunno how much zcb changes that since weakness rework
silent moon
i thought zcb was just better than vw
karmic timber
^I think that's correct now
shut mulch
As a spec probably, I know lake has just been doing full zcb camp in his duos but a quick dps calc says fang is still better so idk
silent moon
I remember Jack saying zcb and fang duos were really close real ttk
tropic tusk
I knew nex duos well like a year or two ago
not so much now
id say take like 2 hard food over 2 brews
tulip nebula
i can drop voidwaker and pegasian for buckler + zcb, but idk if zcb is better, because of the recurrent zeros

I am under the impression that it is very close between hybrid and zcb range camp, if you are very good at hybrid, not losing ticks switching and staying potted it should be slightly better. But ruby procs arn't affected by range level so brewing down doesn't matter much. Running with NexFFA/Kodai is going to be quite a mixed bag. Personally I'm max range zcb camping (+tbow minions) and I'm at 316 mvp's in 464 duo/trio kc so pretty close to 70% mvps. I would recommend sending zcb camp and tbow minions and seeing if you enjoy it more and get more mvps yourself.

nice! can you send a screenshot of your equips/inventory please?
iron axle
Not really. Overall I think I started with around 7k bolts 554 total duo/trio kc ago so net-negative a few bolts/kc overall. Lost about 4.5k dragon arrows in that too I think but I haven't been keeping close track
You wont run out unless you go stupidly dry and at that point just do some more colo or levi if you don't have vestige/axe pirce for bolts or something
tulip nebula
you get mvps even if another guys are meeleing? with fang/vw (and you with ranged camping)
or you only group with another rangers
iron axle
Off the top of my head most of the time in kodai/ffa trios yeah. Rng is rng though. All my duos are with people also using zcb+tbow camp
iron axle
Yeah give it a go. It's a lot more relaxed as well
tulip nebula
Yeah give it a go. It's a lot more relaxed as well
the fang is just to save teammates, right?
i think i will bring my dwh. im missing using it. xD
since maul buff
iron axle
Yep just for freeing from ice
Also handy to spec at last 50-100 nex hp if tbow noodling
tulip nebula
tbow swap if nex is < 350 hp, right^?
iron axle
About 300hp
tulip nebula
another thing, i noticed that u are using you arrows inside your quiver, it is better than using the bolts?
shut mulch
you're wrong
iron axle
My arrows are in the quiver as I bring an ancient blessing when kcing

well, worked fine, thx mate!

i did nex before the range change but ffa nex was always about aggro management. keep your heart boost as long as possible, be in max mage def that you can for first 4 phases.
with the changes to range well, that by default puts you way lower priority than anyone melee. add in 'melee by default is harder to dps with even with matching gear' well makes perfect sense range is working nicely in nexffa

i did nex before the range change but ffa nex was always about aggro management....
you mean that keeping the heart boost decreases the chance of tanking on the first 4 phases?
i thought it was only based on status not levels, nice
tulip nebula
I always see players using 'mark of darkness', 'greather corruption', from Arceeus spellbook. It works?
tulip nebula
or it is another spell.. im not 100% sure
shut mulch
thrall and death charge
digital crypt
yes mean keeping heart up via eating hard food early.
and yes people do use random spells like corruption for fun in nexffa lmao

As a spec probably, I know lake has just been doing full zcb camp in his duos bu...
range camp duos are really underrated imo
esp post changes/quiver+lb
but idk if dbolt sustain is possible doing that
id prob just duo range camp these days if i could on iron
melee even b4 weakness changes/quiver was only like 10% more kph (like 6.6 vs 6 iirc)
dps is higher but it just doesint play that way out in practicality
