Lot of talk about Nomad lately. I personally like the stationery on auto attack. It feels very unique and takes a level of skill to properly use Nomad without placing yourself in excessively risky situations. However, in turn, the gameplay is limiting as to which phases Nomads can successfully DPS beam bosses, making it harder to hit SB threshold in groups compared to every other class.

I.E.
Hammu's Spinning Fans phase is ez for a Nomad to rotate within and dps at will

Conversely, Falling Blades forces players who want to engage to kiss him and positioning there for dodging ground circles is much more random and hectic and isn't suited for Nomad's stationery whilst every other class is slobbering all over Hammu with ease.

My solution:

Flurry of Arrows

Every Bow Wep Ability adds Flurry of Arrows buff to Nomad/Self for 5 seconds

Flurry of Arrows removes stationery from Auto Attacks

I believe this would add dynamic flexibility for Nomads to engage in bursts of fluid movement/dps-ing like other classes and participate in Boss Phases where the stationery makes it way too risky to enjoy.

How is hammu fans easy for nomad?

#

If u kiss him ur vulnerable to white disks

#

If u try to shoot him from range, ur vulnerable to sword bombs

#

If u get by white disks at range, the fans catch up to you

#

Not to mention because of the stationary, if u shoot from range, ur standing still, so it’s easier for the fan to catch up to you

#

The nomads I see in realm aren’t doing this phase

This is why we remove stationary for reduced str/dex stat to make the class more smooth and able to do bosses and different phases more reliably and such- and damage would remain same 🙂

I'd send a vid, but i killed my nomad already. All you do is rotate along with the fans. Dodge what you need to while you move with it and auto attack when its clear

#

Swords arent dangerous in that phase at all & if youre following the fans at range, side stepping the shotgun dazes is very easy

#

Those nomads that dont do it are 1 of 2 things:

risk-adverse heal bots who never want to engage in any phase fully besides some poke at range when its safe
skill issued

Did u use rabbit?

acoustic plaza Jul 22, 2024, 12:52 AM

#

Yes. If i lose speedy, i drop a lotus charge on myself for speedy buff until rabbit is up again

this makes sense. I'm not on rabbit so I have a harder time.

#

I mainly choose elephant as my main speedy blessing 😛

#

I imagine with rabbit I would have just a so much more easier time

acoustic plaza Jul 22, 2024, 12:54 AM

#

Ooh yeah that makes sense aha. Forcing a food nom for temporary speedy just to stay engaged safely doesnt sound very fun aha

modern token Jul 22, 2024, 12:56 AM

#

in my case, the bow I chose (candy cane) I chose with the fact I'm not perma speedy all of the time.

#

I might be able to make candy cane work even with rabbit tho

modern token Jul 22, 2024, 5:56 AM

#

I added a Rabbit and made adjustments to my build

#

I am now running mythicpuffinspike mythicscroll mythicvesture mythicelephantboots Moony Ammy
w/ 3 Red, Ram, Yak, Bull, Rabbit, Elephant

#

cut mantis for rabbit

#

elephant is better speedy source than cc bow

#

would probably use sun bow if I had it

acoustic plaza Jul 22, 2024, 7:11 AM

#

Oooh, fancy. How does it feel?

modern token Jul 22, 2024, 7:38 AM

#

great, I can actually engage with hammu on fans

#

wapo vest and moon ammy is one of my fav item combos in the game atm

#

gives you 110 hp 15 def 36% vigor

#

colo vigor is 40%, colo hp (my fav defensive ammy pre-moon ammy) gives 100

#

so value on stats is just really good

#

Bull is incredibly easy to maintain for phoenix

#

Elephant has great value to counteract getting hit with rabbit

#

not to mention, while not comparable to 1.0, if you ever need food, you can stay later post hammu to go hammu world tour killing mobs for food

#

also bull probably puts out more damage than mantis

#

I think this is the most optimized this kind of build is going to get

#

Sun Bow would probably just the best bow in teh game atm that isn't ubow

#

but i'm not killing anything off to get the honor for it

#

blessing wise, I think greens suck

#

I personally would never want hippo on nomad and I think hippo is slow

#

on kill blessings suck now

#

monkey is always a cool blessing but it's never been needed.

#

and hten if we wanted an armored blessing it would probably be crab but like ya

#

yak is probably just the better black

#

oh and also gorilla and boar are for baby gamers

acoustic plaza Jul 22, 2024, 7:58 AM

#

Noice ahaha, i like it. I also greens are very skippable, especially for nomads. I didnt run any greens on my sammy and he lasted until i got rng deleted ahaha

#

Agreed too, oranges outside of bull are wastes of slots imo unless youre really daze adverse from hammu ptsd & need boar to cuddle

acoustic plaza Noice ahaha, i like it. I also greens are very skippable, especially for nomads....

I really like elephant because basically I'm permaspeedy

#

take damage & lose wabbit? just eat food

acoustic plaza Jul 22, 2024, 8:20 AM

#

Yeh, the idea of elephant is actually really nice. I'd probably run it over hippo on my shao if I werent so stingy with eating food even tho im usually overfilled with grapes ahaha

#

Its a very in-boss sort of blessing which is what i like to go for

modern token Jul 22, 2024, 8:21 AM

#

I always liked elephant on shao it fits nicely with what the class wants to do

#

it used to be in 1.0 that toad was enough for sustain vs bosses as most bosses had plenty around

#

it's not like hippo doesn't have a purpose because it does have one

#

but there isn't really a green that blatantly says "you get healing during your boss fight"

#

elephant is kind fo teh closest thing

#

like there isn't really a green that helps keep you in the fight

acoustic plaza Jul 22, 2024, 8:23 AM

#

Yeh, aside from ele when you eat aha- im actually probably gonna switch tomorrow and make it a point to carry 5 extra grapes with me in case aha

modern token Jul 22, 2024, 8:24 AM

#

you can spend a very little amount of time post hammu to go kill all of the mobs for mangos

acoustic plaza Jul 22, 2024, 8:24 AM

#

Yeah a lot of times i'll go get mobs on the side right at the start, then farm the lvl 21 mobs for grapes while waiting for t3 spawns

modern token Jul 22, 2024, 9:54 AM

#

lotus vs scroll in hammu is extremely interesting

#

lotus is better vs fans than scroll

#

scroll lets u jump over disks

acoustic plaza Jul 22, 2024, 6:19 PM

#

I havent tried scroll yet bcuz i didnt get one until two days ago, first ever drop aha. The long lasting lotus speedy felt really nice tho hehe

This class is so terrible i dont even have a single idea to improve it
