Guys is there anyway I can play as Vergil of DMC 5 in RoR2 modded? I tried downloaded the Vergil by KommandoSpectre, but somehow it won’t work. Appreciate if someone with a complete lists of downloaded mod with lots of fun characters can pm me their mod link to share me! 🙂 thanks!

#ror2-modding
make sure the mod is up to date with the lastest game version (AC Patch 1)
:)
tryhard
if we ever play sub 2 im making my base far from your ass
Can the next update let the music tab do something? It'd be so sick to keep the note from Chris, add one from Stavros, and then let you play the music you've heard through out the game on the menu
Yeah actually why can't you play the music lmao
Let's listen to The Shattering Circle, or: A Charade of Shadeless Ones and Zeroes Rearranged ad Nihilum
I understand wanting to promote Chris and his music but also, it is so misleading to have a music menu that won't let you play the fucking music
for a game whose ost style is as unique and memorable as it is it is sort of criminal that we dont have like a jukebox feature :/
would be like 0 overhead work, probably
Yeah. If they went a step above with it they could even let us choose what music to play kinda like in some newer games
the aurora hasnt even exploded yet lmao
and im getting prawn suit fragments already
Mario Odyssey and DK Bananza have jukebox features like this but I don't see why they should stay in the collectathon genre
Hell, Sonic Racing Crossworlds has this
dude
also y did u delete the ig u hate me msg
grrrr i saw that
Risk of Rain 2's OST is constantly on repeat on my spotify but I dont know why this isnt just in the game
MGSV has this cool walkman feature
THAT'S WHAT IM SAYIN
what are u talking about
i saw that
waht i do am i too good
no!
Like you could unlock songs by finding something in the stage or something like that. Similar to how to unlock the stages in the logbook
You can both listen to popular pop culture music, the in game soundtracks + some of the older titles (most of them), your custom tracks (you can place your own mp3s in a folder) and lore tapes
How tall is arrow rain’s hitbox?
i spend alot of time on the title screen already cause the theme song is abanger but I'd love to sit and listen to mistery or swampified mizzle or into the doldrums
Like numerically
We gotta get mr gearbox to see this
At least two
I know its 7.5 meters from the center to the outer edges making the hitbox 15 meters long and wide in total but i can help but think its taller than it is wide
then why :(
Check out what happens to
void fiend when you equip the
royal capacitor
It’s arm gets replaced by lightning
guys why are we still on arrow rains hit box 😭
We’re not im just curious about the exact dimensions of the hitbox since im clearly unfamiliar with the measurements
I thought id actually try to get it right
To avoid confusion in the future
happens to all survivors
Or atleast almost all
dude its spike factory
mandatory to keep at least one psg if you have capacitor cs it looks cool ❤️🩹
Or dampener
the
400 hour run
Why
No one uses it
Arrow rain straight butt cheeks I'm pretty happy to shit on it
All the way to hitbox isn’t even bullying that’s insulting it’s code and therefore its existence
Oh it does?
I thought it just put the thing on their shoulder
Is that truly what we should do?
Shit on arrow rain?
Slander eclipse lite instead
So no one knows how tall arrow rain is then
what character do you think has the highest skill ceiling
Railgunner or merc probably
i feel like merc and bandit
rg's ceiling probably isn't that high it's mostly just aim
mines do raise it tho
Off the top my head
One is basically ineffective without enough understanding and can be one of the best if you do
The other has basic use but is very punishing if you can’t make up for him being melee
I know its at least 15 meters tall but idk if its higher bc it feels like it is sometimes
highest theoretical skill ceiling is loader because velocity based damage but highest practical skill ceiling i would say is probably merc
Mechanical skill is kinda something that should be considered
Being able to hit weak spots or at all does entirely contribute to rg success
Id still say acrid
rg is so easy tbh, the weak spots are big af
Theres some crazy stuff you can do with leap
Lemuerians be moving so erratic they piss me off that’s really it tho
I think I just hate the lizard people
lmao
OHHHH wait i just realized
I seriously don’t even know where they’re going at times it just gets frustrating at some point
There’s also vagrant’s weak points being weird but like that’s it
is that tung tung sahur
coming from an overwatch player, you get used to it
Merc always seemed so generally easy to me that i cant really imagine him as a hard character to begin with
Abandoned overwatch after getting console plat (absolutely not an achievement)
his skill is in timing and game sense, less than aim like most
it was for the better
Yeah which is extremely easy to get down
It’s not hard but flying enemies BUGGG the hell out of me on merc
It’s just annoying for no reward really
Otherwise you’re kinda right except for some bosses
Solus wing on e7 comes to mind
Very clunky fight for merc specifically in my experience
Flying enemies have never been a problem for merc the way i play him
Good for you
step 1: dont play merc
finally
i beg to differ. timing is so difficult, not just learning combo's but being effective in any situation is very hard for merc
Before you say much it’s easy because you already understand it
The worst i’ll end up with is having to wait a couple seconds behind a rock bc i used up all my attacks before they spawned but the moment they come off cooldown i basically get to fly
It really does just boil down to knowing when the next big scary attack is so you can use one of your fifteen iframes
tru
15? Hes got at least 100
I liked slicing winds for a while but e8 really put me off it
Tried evisercate once and oh wow look I’m having fun again
"in hallowed concepts, players will explore risk of rain"
Judge me if you want I just wasn’t having a good time with winds on eclipse
Maybe the biggest downside of using focused assault is that you dont get to basically fly
But the third hit combo is so ooooughhh
Meow
Yeah but you dont need it most of the time
In hallowed concepts players will explore 🚶♂️ 🚶♂️ 🚶♂️
And BA can stunlock for extended periods of time
Idk
Needed it a lot in e8 and helped me move around way faster
This is very much an experience thing I fear
BA is also better for movement once you start using the chain dashes aggressively to get away
idk if im going to play eclipse. there isnt even any achievement on steam for beating any eclipse level, much less all of them. and i like collecting steam achievements so im not sure its worth the time commitment
He's green for an amazing reason
Dash through something and then instead of turning around you just dash again forward to make space
Lems turn into boost panels
He’s green because he can be placed there
I just like to screenshot the first successful run like a trophy, it’s definitely personal achievement
After that it’s just feeling like monsoon is too easy
But inferno is better and less bullshit so like
Only gripe I have with inferno is why does the escape moon segment just overload on the explosions
Like are you trying to lag my game
yea it just seems so tedious
Also wisps stop mattering entirely bc you can just chain dash through a bunch of them and then use evis as well
Hence why i like using eclipse selector
does that let you pick the modifiers?
Went through the whole thing with Viend and decided “yeah fuck that”
Xi construct becomes a joke bc you can follow it whereever
Causes e8 to be a straight difficulty, idk if there’s a mod for specific modifiers no
Green 🍏 Green 📗 Green 💚 Green 🥗
And just sit on its face where it cant track you with the laser
Green giant
And the shield is entirely worthless bc you’re already inside it
Default merc absolutely hard counters xi construct
xi is not even the only flying boss that gets countered this way which is really funny
What if solus wing was chinese
As well as actually benefiting from focus crystals
anyone have game recommendations for someone with a terrible attention span.
What could this possibly mean
focused assault not working properly with focus crystals is fucked up
Bc focused assault has a delay meaning youre frequently outside of crystal range when the damage occurs
just think about it
ultrakill
actually maybe not now that i think about it
Nope, Ultrakill is perfect
While with BA the damage is immediate so its always within crystal range
Ah so wing is run by chat bots no wonder it uses useless giant laser
This isnt to say focused assault is bad btw
Focused assault does good damage and has a much easier time resetting its own cooldown with expose
Kinda why I liked assault more
I wasn’t using blink well enough and was always left kinda sitting duck and it didn’t feel good
Expose teching through a group of bosses is like crack cocaine with focused assault
guys what kind of build should i use for captain (My goal is to accept the collective, and I'll be using command because I'm not a fan of his playstyle)
From my experience with merc the alts tend to favor timing attacks much more than just relentless pursuit with the occasional iframe blocking damage
The alt m2 is just kinda bad though
Once you lose that movement you really start feeling it
Defaults favor relentlessly slicing the target to bits
Its actually rather good once you get used to it
i've warmed up to uppercut but i still very much prefer whirlwind
I wouldn’t give it up, personally
Bad by sacrificing the other type of thing
Not in isolation
But it’s just bc I don’t have whirlwind
Tho i think my assessment may be a bit biased towards it bc of my 4 other dashes so movement is just not a problem for me
As well as it being a fine band proc in its own right
Fin in general #tbh ❤️🩹❤️🩹
Vertical mobility in general tends to be better within combat than horizontal from my experience
i wonder if i should make a tierlist on how much i've come to like different skills after giving them a redemption run
Now eviscerate
I know winds is better but honestly i absolutely forced myself to like it
Oil spill 🔥 🔥 🔥
Winds is not better
Its a sidegrade and changes mercs playstyle entirely
Eviserate and winds are pretty even ngl
I just wish drones didn't eat eviserate
Why is this a thing @gearbox
Blame hopoo for that one
The air had it comin'
I wish evis wasnt shadow nerfed by a bug making its hitreg end too early in the dash
It fucks up combos
I like using eviserate to get in and focused assault to get out
I use evis to get in and evis to stay in
I’m very opposite since I’m always trying to expose tech
whoever told me to get artifact of kin Thank You
Eviscerate to stay in
Just expose tech with eviserate
Smh
i finally got that stupid ass bullshit fucking railgunner achievement
ASSAULT TECH IS FUNNNN
BA repositions me within combat and snipes targets that i need to stun quickly
SHUT UPPPPP
Which one
because i am evil
I barely use expose tech
says it right there man
oh i tohught its cuz ill ragebait and annoy the hell out of u constantly
yes
could also be thar
I find it mostly irrelevant for my playstyle bc im always in melee range anyway
omw
Oh right lmao
i have to get REX: Dunked and Loader: Thunderdome next
Also a laser
M1 on its own gives me plenty exposes bc i can simply sit in the middle of like 3 golems and not care bc of my decades of iframes
And a new skin that kinda looks like his dead cells one but bigger and with a head
And 3 invincible aoe stuns in cases i need to briefly reposition
crazy how giving things another shot after a few hundred hours changes your perspective on them
Nah give him a skin of midra 
or keeps them completely the same!
fuck directive drill
oh right void fiend goes in still hate it tier btw
not any of his skills, just the survivor as a whole
seeing my goat the transport drone in f tier hurts my soul
Junk Cube is one of those you have to be a savant for
You have to just kind of click with it
who could ever hate chirp
Drifter might be my worst performing Survivor atm
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING
Swarm drones are actually just so good but it does make the game a bit boring
This list feels like it’s made up of many different players lmao
probably because it spans what i've disliked from 100hrs of playtime to 1000hrs of playtime
redemption runs are a more recent thing i've been doing
Pressure mines need a LOT of understanding of enemy behaviors to get to work well
As a supercharge enjoyer it's a good ability in that it has an actual risk for the using of the ability while having a payoff worth that risk
get the Drifter Boss Grab mod youll curve instantly
@potent marten
how could you ever hate Chirp tho..
But once you get that down they’re actually really consistent and quite powerful
chirp is a yeetus the mighty
hi hello hi
I’ve tried frag grenades
Nope, still not even bothering, I just replace both with ruin anyway
At least suppressive feels responsive
Both suck just choose whichever you like
Honestly I can't wait to play Drifter because of this mod. I will fucking YOINK Mithrix straight off the moon
I like suppressive fire but it feels like I stop caring after a certain point in my run
i fr thought they showed up, said hi and you told them to go away 😭
I used to like all of commandos alts
The only one i believe is actually better is slide
i dont like transport drone m2 and chirp chest grab range is so short it's useless
put him in your purse
LMAO
i couldnt do that smh
Piercing shot just never felt that nice, again, always more of a “this feel good” than “actually better” dude
Early on it's great for making enemies stop right then and there, and good for farther away enemies but the further I get in a run the less that matters for me? Idk
okay but he neuters halcyonite which makes him objectively the best
You either rush through with phase blast or you live long enough to miss phase round
plus he has a cute name
both utils and the better and more fun special do this tho....
you cant hate chirp its precious
I'm a nade player but when against just one boss it's honestly like you're putting in a lot of effort to only do like 5% more DPS overall, as opposed to just holding down left click
But that's more than i really care about nades I don't even dislike them I just feel nothing about then
but not in as cool and funky a way
Grenades provide nothing to commando that phase round doesnt do better
also which special is the better and more fun one
Tbh I think all drones and survivors DO have their strengths so far. Commando's suppressive fire is very controlled and feels more intuitive than the grenades. I cannot STAND Huntress's default movement but as soon as I got phase blink I was doing much better. Mercenary is kinda fun but the fact that you have to do a prismatic trial for one of his achievements kinda blows. Railgunner is just fun, I learned how to fly :3
My opinion is usually shaped on those first sections because really the hardest part of the game is stage 1 or 2
Yes I religiously play eclipse and inferno im a fraud tryhard because neither are actually that supremely difficult
band proc against a single target
also if i m2 with chirp on a halc it's gonna give infinitely less value than letting it do the attack on its own 😭
yeah but like let him hang out and do his own thing
Youd be surprised how frequently the nades just slammed the target out of the fire tornado
fall damage of doom and despairrr
??
still higher value than phase round 🤷♀️ at least they can proc the band
also seeing a halcyonite getting bullied by 20 Yeetus The Mightys is hilarious
bro gets taken to heaven
they just send it back to god
Meanwhile with phase round it pushes them only ever so slightly backwards alongside the pierce target being pushed into the tornado procced by the enemy behind them
i like phase blast just because i can hold down m1 m2 and eat glue
Just hope you find an ATG or get ruin lowkey
the transport drone main attack deals fall damage which is always hp% based and the operator m2 for transport drones deals 300% base damage
so essentially you get 40-60 seconds of poison instantly if you let it do its thing and something that doesnt even proc bands if you m2
Also the knockback of phase round is a boon in and of itself for just how easy it becomes to manipulate enemy positions
i don't really have any strong feelings about any of mando's abilities i think they're all neat
Default roll
Pain
yea but like
it's a free transport drone
and it synergises with default util
i think it's neat idk what to tell you
true
which is why the redemption run is planned
I will say, junk drones are hell to grab when you're playing with Artifact Of Command
Tactical Dive is painfully bugged and jank in cartoonish ways
ever notice how on commando blast is a shotgun blast, but on bandit blast replaces a shotgun for a single bullet?
without command tho? Yeah grab some little guys who make you stuff
i'll have to do alt m2 run and chirp run separately because i actually dont mind chirp on alt m2
it is just a free transport drone with no opportunity cost at that point
To be fair given the acceleration the enemy would go through I think this being a stun is more balanced because wouldn’t this shit Instakill if used hp scaling
Like the mf drops fast
that reminds me i still need to get the rest of operators achievements
It was always jank and worse than slide but it was ruined in sots and made to no longer reset momentum and completely flatten movement
I love how this game does shotguns
it would yeah so the conversion to base damage is fine
the problem is 300% is kind of pathetic 😭
i gotta say captain's shotgun is POWERFUL
at least in this case it is
Captain is just good
I just got reminded of when we were playing with Solitary and the drone command mod. And I picked nothing but fucking TC280s
big
True…
I guess they wanted it to be more stun than damage
Which I say just make it 800% like
Ink was fucking. surfing on the Bigs
Trying to dive against the direction you are currently traveling used to completely redirect your momentum and immediately give you an extremely predictable trajectory
I blotted out the fucking sun with those guys and they got HUGE when we blended them
i like how you can just delete Mithrix's spinny attack on captain
i think 600% would be fine, it'd be in a radius and op already has that as a band proc every 1.5s on his m1
Now it can make you trimp off the fucking air or go absolutely nowhere and drop like a rock
Or worse
Both!
the huh
the absolute swarm was also just fucking hilarious
see also:
fully charged operator m1 with the aoe condensed to a radius and with stun sounds like a good alternative to cross and doc
Dive was my go to solution for dealing with templar shoves bc those steal your friction when they blast you
yeah get close to him during the spinny attack and it will start to delete the wall segements for some reason
They still haven’t fixed the operator transport drone huh?
it's a projectile, so captain's passive shoots it
no hotfixes until the next dlc because awesome dev scheduling
you need to have enough drones and/or attack speed to keep up though
The transport drones somehow proc item better than my missle and gunner drones lol
Now dive does nothing against it
rawr
I’m calling it next patch makes a boss literally unplayable and we just kinda have to deal with it
i gotta be honest i don't actually get the value of moving chests with chirp
You get blasted and when you dive you just stop and drop like a rock instead of what used to happen which was completely redirecting your momentum to a way you have complete control over
i feel like they just added that to give chirp a unique effect like doc and crosshairs have
i think it'd be a neat little way to save time if the range wasn't so short that sprinting to it feels faster than a 4s cooldown
obv hacking beacons but like what's the purpose in single player
it also gets chests that are above you that you can't reach but uh
you're operator 😭
I think its more for when you dont have ascent protocol and can struggle with verticality so you just grab a chest off a cliff above you or out of a pit
Without needing to change course
right okok
Still niche
fun multiplayer thing if one player is loader and the other is operator:
loader can swing from a drone that operator is piloting
that fucking siphoned forest ledge...
I have also had chirp drop a chest on a couple of vagrants heads and it bounced between them and did a surprisingly large amount of damage
I dont know if i could ever reproduce this
It was a little too perfect of a set up and i did it on accident
does this also happen with drifter repossess bouncing
if so i could probably try to replicate it
I dont think so
figures
probably would've noticed otherwise
It was weird bc it grabbed the chest and then instead of dropping it next to me it dropped it on the enemy heads
might need to learn it just to deal with amalgamators as drifter
even with green scrap regen amalgamators are just really annoying on drifter
I think it’s bc there was an empty chest nearby while I targeted an enemy it cant normally grab
Theyre mini solus wings
i feel like their sources of damage are not well telegraphed
i don't fucking know what's happening when fighting them then suddenly half my health is gone
speaking w/ respect to drifter though. idk if maybe the purple projectiles are going through the amalgam body.
The giant energy blast that happens when you get close to them is really frustrating for any character to deal with and frequently rips drones to shreds
i think it's more just because the screen is so fucking cluttered it's hard to tell what's even attacking you
the first tp boss to actively get worsened by being a tp boss specifically
they do too much imo
I like the chaotic nature of the amalgamator personally
you're getting amalgamator visuals + the other tp boss's visuals + the amalgamator's parts' visuals when it falls to half health + all the enemies' visuals
i can manage them better on someone who isn't hard melee
I just think they could do without the giant melee attack they have
me too but it really doesn't feel like it accounts for the inevitable visual clutter of having it be a stage 3 addon boss
I kinda wish the amalgamator felt like a threat past being visual clutter
i think it's a neat concept but it's very hard to learn how they actually work in more detail than "solus control unit big aoe attack" and "bits fall off and do their own thing"
But like for me it's kinda just move back and forth out of the aoe when it spawns because the detaching parts like to not target me for some reason?
i didnt even notice the bits falling off for a while i only noticed the aoe and melee
Like hello I am the ONLY enemy alive where are you going
i didn't even know they had a melee attack until this conversation
the wiki gg page doesn't explain any attacks
unfortunately
Like solus wing’s plasma walls having a giant melee burst that extends way further than you expect it to amalgamators have a similarly large spherical attack as a melee
yeah if you're too close some pink lightning appears in their open parts then they do a pink lightning shockwave similar to solus wing's ring shockwave
except half the time the shockwave is invisible 😭
Awesome game design
amalgamator is a really cool boss fought standalone if a little lacking without other enemies there but as an addon to another tp boss it's yeesh
The blasts on both accounts are just way too fucking big
especially since fucking MAGMA WORM is a stage 3 boss candidate but that's a whole other can of worms
or a whole other worm
this exactly, it's such a great concept but it's too hectic to properly learn in its current location
I dont know if you can even outrun it from close range
when it 's spawned alongside solus control units and it's just orbs everywhere
You definitely cant outrun solus wing’s
also what's the lore behind the amalgamator showing up with the other tp boss? is it just like "oh hey mr magma worm heard you were having trouble with a human lemme help out"
I feel like I usually am able to but it's stage 3 and so i have at least some movement
the melee survivors can all utility out of it by virtue of being ror2 melee survivors but unfortunately they all also really like using their util during tp events
Hey does someone wanna spawn an amalgamator in and see if you can dodge the melee with no movement
the lore is they hate you so much they agree to just jump you (making all that up)
bandit is also problematic on amalgamator
This is why i tend to fight at a distance
And playing as a melee character i never stay in melee range for too long
Unless im merc
Then i just iframe that shit
And still merc does occasionally dip out for a breather
on False Son I just charge slam, hit, then dash out
But he actually has the tools to reliably do so
Overextending as merc doesn’t actually exist
that one run where i was half asleep and playing like a moron on stage 1 and still managed to live at 25% health for like 20 seconds because i had one medkit
Medkit is cracked
also true
And merc is merc
Merc with evis kind of just bends the flow of the game around him
The enemies are now forced to time their attacks on him when he doesn’t have the ability to just iframe it
They get punished for hitting him
Bc they hit him at the wrong time
The enemies are forced to play around evis or die
Assuming you use evis well its kind of a combat ultimatum
You either arent timing evis well enough
Or you’re indestructible
And thats before considering the default “the player has an actual brain” advantage that every survivor also has
Which only compounds the power of evis
Bc they cant even think to counter evis
Just
Wait a little bit before you use your attack
Nope gotta use the skill immediately off cooldown which means evis makes the fight free
If your opponent is using their attacks while merc has evis and waiting on the cooldown while he doesnt merc is the only one even allowed to do damage
He warps combat around him
And thats how hes allowed to be a melee character in a game designed around being ranged
And arguably one of the best characters in the game even
Bc he just doesnt die
And forces the flow of combat to account for his gameplan
He plays a different game and gets away with it bc if you dont play his game you cant hurt him
Am that friend, I agree this is wonderful
one sec i gotta check what everyone's least favourite ror2 content creator thought about merc's power level
i think they received an unbound signature and decided to go in and inspect
lame game
oh sorry ac woolie said merc is the third worst non-heretic survivor in the game therefore he sucks and has zero potential
doesn't kill stone titan fast enough sorry poopoo surivovr
true artifact of command is my favourite survivor
In a theoretical competitive environment merc is a frustrating character to play against when hes played well
Your options are to kill him before he gets to you which he has plenty of movement options with invulnerability to either find cover or close the distance/dodge with or stay as far away from him as possible and just avoid fighting him (This Will not work bc he is faster than you)
Hope he screws up and be there to kill him at the precise moment he does
"why doesn't everyone always use command? are they stupid?"
Captains an absolute beast
without command on stage 6 monsoon i was hitting over 17k dps with this man
and you said i acted like i was being held at gunpoint while i played captain
Tbh Captain was fun to play imo!
unlocking the Diablo strike was NOT fun, but playing Captain was
captain is lowkey powerful but hes just not fun for me to play at. all
Commando is fine
his orbital strikes with the right items are an absolute beast icl
i remember the first time i played captain i didn't understand how he worked at all and i thought his primary was practically useless as a result
seriously. activate dissonance, sacrifice, and swarms aritfact, no command, and loop with captain, you will be amazingly amazed
Genuinely I loved that thunderous crack of the Vulcan shotgun. So satisfying. Also unlike some characters(cOUGH REX) his base movement speed isn't bad
so i had probes for damage and that was it
every survivor has the same base movement speed!
i did not appreicate diablo much until learning how to use it against False Son, then Solus wing also was added around the same time
survivors with bigger character models just feel slower
and some survivors have lower acceleration which makes them turn more slowly
You Lie™
all the survivors have the same base movement speed
Captain is really good bc half of the enemies might as well just not exist and his m1 can do basically everything
Scout moves faster than the others 🙂
who tf is scout 😭😭😭
scout tf2
Hes top 5 for me
the boston guy
hidden third alloyed collective survivor
bonk guy

Genuinely I'm pretty sure Commando and Captain both move faster than Huntress. Mul-T is slower than all of them.
no i 100% get what you mean monsoon open bracket zplays forward slash fridge system close bracket, rex and mul-t and similarly large survivors feel way slower than the rest of the cast
mult feels slow is because his hitbox is much bigger
but they do all move at the same speed
he also accelerate slower
am i remembering things differently or doesn't heretic get more speed b/c they are special?
Like how they feel in terms of movement is so powerful I don't actually believe they all move at the same pace
heretic is funky as heck she gets giga stats
horrible news for you
Its actually funny to me bc the characters id rank above commando are all arguably better at proccing than commando or have an easier time avoiding damage (besides acrid)
Or at least comparable proccers
Again it does Not Feel That Way Chat
no we know 😭 we're agreeing with you
mass slows your acceleration
why is acrid heavier than mult
mass is about knockback and stuff like that no? acceleration is its own stat
Acrid is the exception within my top 5 entirely bc of poison being as good at scaling as it is
So I'm starting over with a brand new account
Yeah acceleration is different
i love getting the goobessa check mark it makes me feel so smug
like hell yeah i DID know the thing
Artificer is lower acceleration but similarly weighted to characters like huntress and commando
i feel like i dont want to admit seeker is among the best because runs as her usually feel like the start is slow, then i reach False Son or Wing and am like "wow i did not expect that fight to go by that quick"
She obliterates anything with a pulse
i feel like the pulse isn't even that notable for me, it's usually the orbs
That's not at all what I ment
OH i thought you meant the meditate pulse lol
the orbs shred tho
ALSO friction is normally tied to base movespeed
Then he made a statement so true even gang praised him
Is commando book smart or street smart
i showed a friend my seeker run earlier and she went "your items suck, seeker is bad with on-hit items" like hello did you never try the orbs???????
Both
he's just a little dumb and that's okay
Neither hes fight smart
seeker has violent ibs and uses it to her advantage
until we meet again
not a single proc coeff below 1.0 btw, reprieve included
and meditate excluded for some reason?????
it's 0.8
so a single proc coeff below 1.0 and it doesn't matter anyway
Seeker easily outprocs commando with soul spiral
worst thing about her is her hanna barbera ass run
the "items that suck" btw
Then he made a statement so true even gang praised him
she ignored the 15 kjaro's bands too
I hope you were using sojourn
i prefer reprieve, sorry to disappoint </3
i was at ~2 items per minute for most of the run tho which was p cool
"JAY YOU GOTTA MOVE"
not quite as impressive as sojourn would've been but one band proc from meditate did half a mithrix health bar
Yesterday
Was this while he was running around?
tbh i don't recall
Bc i can almost guarantee most of it missed if he was
He doesnt stand still for kjaros to do much outside of specific circumstances
Runalds however will chunk him pretty good
would assume he was stationary for at least part of it but idr how much of it he actually ate
the two runalds i made from commencement soup were doing their best
iirc it ticks 12 times
I remember this bc i think if you strike him with exactly 400% with 1 band it ticks for 100% damage
Thats the absolute lowest it can go
The suspicious 15 stacks of kjaros bands :
The 7 tritips
So much bleeding his heart would explode
65% crit
80% bleed
runic lens
plimp
polylute
shustice
boomerang
yea these items suck i think
not even looking at the speed and other utility i had
Yeah needs more sticky bomb
more crow bar
After learning just how big sticky bomb aoe is i want to use it more
imagine you're mithrix and someone walks up to you wearing five pairs of sunglasses and fifteen orange bracelets and summons a flame tornado on you
i love sticky bomb
What my question is
Are they bracelets or rings?
i assumed bracelets but actually
if they're bands as in wedding bands they'd be rings
And if they are the latter thats more than one for each finger
i like to think they'd be rings for the eldar lemurians, but they're so big that they're bracelets for humans
i haven't looked closely at the cave lemurains tho
seeker walking up to mithrix dressed like an early 2000s hip-hop artist
Imagine putting on fifteen rings on one hand and just decking mithrix in the face like the rings are a sort of bracer for your fist
in early access content update 5 the patch notes call them rings
what an unfortunate acronym
hehehe he hehe semen
It was intentional bc the community at the time was just like that
right okok
i guess the alternative was march content update and that's easily confusable with the marvel cinematic universe
The musically challenged update
I love MCU
we forgot the two ice rings, assuming they were all on one hand seeker was rocking 3.4 rings per finger
Which if im not mistaken was actually the ONLY content update to NOT feature a new track from chris up to that point
Every other update was either a simple patch or added new content and music alongside it
Remember when we got patches?
guys
Marvel like the hit upcoming video game marvel tokon
runic IS the best legendary
Dude I check the marvel tokon server and they’re talking about risk of rain 2 and then I check the risk of rain 2 server and they’re talking about marvel
runic's bitch ass misses against voidling
Life is funny
Until atg shows it up by having a higher damage potential
i cant have any right opinion
not according to my friend, it's mid
Both from activation rate and damage per hit
(my friend only has bad takes it's very funny)
Really fun that runic lens has a hard cap on both its activation rate and damage
okay there cant be anything wrong with icbm
No missiles?
icbm's bitch ass likes to show up when i got no missile items
Sorry its a paperweight now
icbm is the best item in the game on tuesdays and wednesdays
Personally i love that about icbm
aren't you sunshine and rainbows 😭
But like
I dont believe in a best red
wdyt of ignition tank
ignition tank very good
Im usually just happy to see a red at all
normally you get at least one gasoline
funny enough j think runic lens is one of if not the best solely because its more common due to being a sots red
Unless its aegis
okay wait yea i just checked the wiki on this wtaf
i'm just being dramatic lol
if it wasnt any more common than its peers it wouldnt even be in my top 5
but it is and thats really funny
halcyon shrine has increased sots item chance
Its still very good bc its aoe, doesnt have a proc mask, and has that bonus base damage alongside activation chance bonuses
yeah on top of those
But its hard limit is still sad
is the proc mask the "no more than once per proc chain"?
proc mask means an item cant double dip itself in q proc chain yeah
and runic lens can just break that
because funny
hadn't heard that term before ty for clarifying ^^
Im never gonna hit for 50000% in a single shot from chaining cherf into merf into atg with runic
why is ageis so harped on
because its ass
common theme of proc items that shoot from the sky arbitrarily breaking rules ig (runic lens no proc mask, cherf rolling crits independently)
aegis is a white item disguised as a red item
It requires too much investment of a generally undesirable build to give you what a 5 brooches does on its own
to get value from aegis you need a solid amount of healing items, which a) is unlikely in a standard 5 stage + commencement run and b) could've been scrapped for better items instead
why do we not hate on headstompers though
because rheyre really good
if you're looping aegis is fine but if you're looping you're god anyway
its a bit hard to explain why headstompers are good but theyre very good
Its not too unlikely its just not going to work well enough at the expense of killing things faster
Which brooch benefits from
fall damage immunity, extra massive damage burst, huge vertical mobility increase
yea true maybe i just scrap too much to really build up enough whites
Eclipse lite works really well in high CDR builds
yea on mithrix it's a lot
yeah he can do that lmao
And is just kind of nice to have otherwise
luckily it doesnt matter since you can just hit items out of him anyway
because he shoots like 10 shots and then recharges them all at once
the first stack anyway 
the same thing happens with visions of heresy (the lunar that replaces your primary), after the 2s cooldown you get 24% max hp barrier
gearbox loves this shit dude
gearbox annoy me so much with their reluctance to allow stacking in whites
i often scrap headstompers because it leads to be getting stray shots in the air
20% +5% 40% +10% 1% +0.25% 100% +10% 80s +10s
these are all different items with shit stacking
oh yeah 5% +1%
The hilarious part of “the items we actually liked” were the items that stacked well or otherwise justified their shitty stacking through a means like sale star
you take it for no fall damage and good single target damage when using e high up
and then there's cransion
what ac item even has good stacking
its literally so good despite its simple mechanic
Hikers boots is a slightly worse crit glasses that stacks way better
yeah hikers boots
doesnt hikers boots stack +10% no matter what
Kinetic damper is armor on shields
hikers boots my beloved
crit damage and crit chance means its quadratic
so 10 hikers boots with a bit of shooting in the air like, just as much as 10 lens makers, 100%
hiker's boots and functional coupler are the only two ac items with good stacking
100% crit chance + 100% crit damage
until max crit
At 5 its providing a 50% chance for 150% more damage which is quite a bit better than a 50% chance for 100% more
anf funny enough orphaned core
i did not know that what the hell
stacks like shit
does it? idek how that guy stacks icl
but is not the best red
400% +400%
But is justified
isnt sonorous like an increased % chance of other rarities you only need 1
*too top heavy
A bit yeah
extra sonorous stacks give you on average one more item per 100 elites killed
crying
Honestly id just change it to 5% but with hyperbolic stacking like stun grenade
even excluding the boss drops
also shoutouts to wecho for being actively detrimental to stack if you don't have synergies with it
unless they changed that
Is it?
so 1 wecho > like 2 and 3?
Medkit still goes off in the middle of the damage ticks and it gives you a LOT of time to heal the damage back
whoa...
It kind of doesnt but its effect is already so whatever that i dont care
you have to wait for all the delayed damage ticks before its cooldown starts, so if you have no items to work with it then extra stacks give you no extra value on a longer cooldown
ukes stack pretty bad
Nah they stack fine
fine stacking
ah shit it's probably a bad thing that my mood's so inconsistent isn't it
More range for when there arent more targets and more target for more potential
on par with kampener for worst numbers ever
oh damn it stacks worse than i thought it did, i thought the damage scaled
holy cow its dodogama from the hit game monster hunter world
except not as bad since its radius
and linear radius increases lead to exponential volume increases
It becomes easier to chain lighting across lots of enemies and the number of enemies increases too
do yall find kampener to be a good item
yes
very
its very equal to rose buckler for me
Also btw the range increase is PER BOUNCE
yes unless i'm playing melee and planning to fight mithrix because he can oneshot you with your own kampener
feels like i scrap it half the time for some reason
if not usually better
beetle makes it even better
armor isnt obvious in how much it helps
but it does a lot
Loader is overrated
i agree
i also agree
