Obsidian Railgun or RailSpell

[pure cosmos]

like Insert

[umbral violet]

its insert ?

[pure cosmos]

It's not.

[umbral violet]

ofk

[pure cosmos]

Make sure you used the Place Block glyph

[umbral violet]

o fk

XD

[pure cosmos]

and not the Insert glyph

[umbral violet]

its this

srry im so dumb

xD

[pure cosmos]

It's fine, it's an easy mixup to make

[umbral violet]

ok now its work

[gloomy thicket]

Lmao

[fossil slate]

I KNEW I WASNT CRAZY!

[wet wagon]

I made this variation for when i dont want to waste obsidian (or time recollecting it) Any tip?

[green rover]

3 amps is probably excessive, as velocity doesn't increase the damage of the block

only hardness is a factor

velocity just makes it easier to hit but more than 1 amp is overkill IMO

replace 2 amps with a second aoe so it makes a 3x3, which is easier to aim since it comes out centered from the point of origin

[gloomy thicket]

velocity does increase the damage of the block

three amps is optimal

[hidden cloak]

oh

from what i remember reading in ciscos (the block shaping knowledge that carries me today)

it said that it moving faster increased damage and kb

[wet wagon]

Is this better? (I add pierce instead of aoe because not a lot of mobs have a hitbox that big)

[icy marsh]

Reminding everyone in this thread
1 amplify deals almost as much damage as 2 amplifies.

Still, it may be worth using more than 2 amplifies as to not have to arc your shots

Yet too many amplifies just accentuate minecraft's wanky movement, which can lead to shots getting stuck on terrain or trees

[green rover]

since when?

[gloomy thicket]

as long as ive known. it is up to a cap
you can best see it point blank (editing the number of amps) or at range (distance decreases speed decreases damage)

[green rover]

Yeah but the cap is super low

This is to say post code or dmg test or gitout

[hidden cloak]

atleast 1.19.2

thanks to ciscos

to telling me this knowledge

[steep mantle]

2 amps is a sweet spot

[icy marsh]

Damn ppl. Am I a ghost to you ;-;

[gloomy thicket]

Ur a graph

[wet wagon]

I wonder how this Will work with securitycraft reinforced blocks

[icy marsh]

Depends on their hardness

[dark remnant]

I made a machine gun variation

Its very good early game

[slate depot]

We need a graphbuncle graph compilation post

[icy marsh]

Honestly. Dunno if I really made as many graphs as people believe. At least that are posted on this server

[icy marsh]

Turns out. I've posted 10 graphs and 20 spreadsheets in my 2 year stay

[slate depot]

Yea that’s a lot

[last mist]

you think that's a lot, those are just the finished, polished products. You probably don't want to see his files

[gloomy thicket]

now i do wanna see the graphbuncle file

s

[swift coyote]

Would Reinforced Deepslate do more damage technically?

[cloud tangle]

Hi, I haven't read from the beginning until now, but I have an example that ends up being much better, without needing to jump and spending a little less mana.

Or this way, you wouldn't need the place block or the stock, and you could also elevate it directly in the direction you're looking.

[icy marsh]

Yeah. Most just use this version with or

[gloomy thicket]

H

[zinc elm]

fixes the jump issue

[gloomy thicket]

we know however only 121 has so far

[zinc elm]

oh ok

[icy marsh]

also does

[polar pivot]

Do I still need the block shaping focus and obsidian in the off hand?

[gloomy thicket]

You do
The obsidian can be in the hot bar however

[polar pivot]

Thx!

[gloomy thicket]

Np

[mild linden]

so this may work

[gloomy thicket]

"may"?

[slate depot]

What’s so fun about this combo is that it’s a tier 1 spell

[gloomy thicket]

yup

[slate depot]

If only there were a way to increase hardness on a -

[hidden cloak]

and how its actually pretty good

at teaching the basics of blockshaping

[slate depot]

I mean most block shaping spells tend to be a variation of this to be fair

[strong tangle]

went from barely doing any dmg to one tapping a person in full netherite with this spell
peak

[last mist]

we need a Viagra glyph

[long tundra]

Yes officer, this profile right here.

[safe cedar]

well for the fertility part there's

[crimson stream]

On my server, how could I disable this? I don't like people being able to one shot each other with it

[long tundra]

Cat, people are going to try and one tap each other no matter what.

||or accidentally blow up an entire boss room in self defense (my bad)||

But you could always disable the

[crimson stream]

Yeah but don't like it so I am going to disable every one shot I can

[gloomy thicket]

You know that you did that on purpose

Also you should join again

[long tundra]

I meant to click Lava’s Bane. I clicked ‘z’ once extra.

[long tundra]

Nah, I’m grinding Craftoria.

[gloomy thicket]

You literally said Al acbar

Before exploding

[long tundra]

I clicked, game froze, I realized my mistake, committed to the bit, then exploded. I did not say it before clicking the spell.

[gloomy thicket]

If you say so

It
It was really funny though

[jade bronze]

i remember when i mixed up my dominion wand with my enchanter's wand of doom and despair and infinite kablooey that was fun

[gloomy thicket]

Sameeee

[sweet void]

Hello, i'm using the Touch sensitive version of the rail gun, i've just noticed that if the mob is to near of me, it's just moving the mob and not launching the obsidian, any fix on that ?

(the version that get back the block)

[gloomy thicket]

Don't get to close

[icy marsh]

or use

[sweet void]

Don't have it on the version i am

[icy marsh]

well, then you gotta keep your distance

[versed pivot]

How does block shaper activate? Or work

[brazen dune]

Put the block shaper's focus in your focus curios slot or in your offhand while you cast, that's enough to "activate" it.

[gloomy thicket]

Basically it changes the spell to activate on every created block

Or affected block

[versed pivot]

Thanks @gloomy thicket @brazen dune

[gloomy thicket]

Ofc

[slate depot]

Wait now that I think about it

Couldn’t you make a crazy smelting contraption with the shapers focus

[gloomy thicket]

Yea

You can do so much more than yeeting shit at people with it

[hidden cloak]

but its fun to spam alex caves guano blocks

[peak forum]

This doesn't work for me anyone know why?

[sonic sonnet]

Are you using block shaper focus

And send the spell ur using

[clear cosmos]

me neither.

[sonic sonnet]

Send the spell ur using

And make sure ur using

[clear cosmos]

pantomime-sensitive-amp-insert-leap-amp-amp. don't have focus yet. let me try that first

[steep mantle]

some people...

[sonic sonnet]

The focus is what makes the spell work

[clear cosmos]

got the focus, equipped it. still not working

[clear cosmos]

ah... insert and place block are different.. i think this is where i went wrong

[pure cosmos]

yes, both making the actual spell and using the focus that makes the spell work that you were explicitly told made the spell work are necessary to make the spell work

understandable confusion tbh

[brazen dune]

Also keep an eye out for accidentally using instead of , they look VERY similar and it's easy to click the wrong one

[hidden cloak]

I KNEW INSERT WAS REAL

[undone crest]

im new to this mod, is that an addon?

im dumb i found it

[abstract orbit]

Pantomime vs Touch+Sensitive, is there any difference in terms of accuracy? Finding it hard to make the blocks go where they should especially in hallways

[pure cosmos]

If you're not flying, overhead works really nicely

[bold pond]

That’s why I use mechanical exoskeleton armour from t.o’s basically inbuilt elytra and inbuilt jet pack

[timber maple]

Guys what’s the best version of the railgun spell

I use ars omega

I want something that can smack mod without me having to jump

[hidden cloak]

I am irons hater
I hate on irons

[hidden cloak]

Did you read more than 2 messages

[sonic sonnet]

The Magician's Railgun, created by Gweaven (⁠Obsidian Railgun or RailSpell), uses the shaper's focus to launch blocks at your enemies, dealing massive ammounts of damage

My prefered version is *3 , dealing 25 dmg
But the damage scales with block hardness, so launching obsidian (replacing with ) deals 75 ish dmg
can be replaced with in newer versions

[bold pond]

Not even irons? It’s an irons addon and some of the t.o’s armour ability’s are insane to the point where they could be some of the best armour sets no matter the modpack

[hidden cloak]

Ye it’s an irons addon so I extend to it

(I hate you fireward)

[abstract orbit]

Any way to immediately destroy/pick up the obsidian after impact? Item pickup and break didn't work.

[last mist]

break needs 2? amps to break obsidian, item pickup should work, provided you are not trying to place block

[gloomy thicket]

one

one amp

break is already equive to iron
one amp makes it diamond
two would make it netherite teir

[abstract orbit]

Trying to do it with an AoE version of the spell:

but the obsidian blocks stay where they land. Maybe it doesn't work when shooting multiple?

single block also doesn't break every time, just occasionally

[brazen dune]

THat's because you're placing the block and immediately trying to break it again. You need a before breaking, and ideally a after the delay and before breaking as well (if the block is still in motion then it can't be broen, and stops it from moving)

[abstract orbit]

Okay, cheers. Also seems like more amplify after leap does anything to increase the damage, at least.

snare was pretty costly in terms of mana unfortunately

[brazen dune]

Yeah at some point more speed just means more speed, not more damage. And actually too much speed can cause the blocks to glitch right through your target, missing them entirely

[pure cosmos]

I'm gonna say if you want to aoe it

tetris this nonsense

[brazen dune]

I think that's missing some glyphs...

and out of order?

[abstract orbit]

would pierce matter in this case?

[brazen dune]

something more like i think is what you meant?

Oh no you rwote launch, you were definitely meaning somethin very different lol

[brazen dune]

Lemme ask, why are you adding pierce/aoe? is the goal to just make a bigger/easier to aim block?

[abstract orbit]

yes

or if there are multiple enemies of course

just hit more of them at the same time was the thought

[brazen dune]

And since you said costs too much mana, i'm guessing you're probably T1 or T2?

[abstract orbit]

T2

with T4 armor

[brazen dune]

Best solution to the mana problem is unlock every glyph

More glyphs = more mana & regen

[abstract orbit]

oh really

I will have to do that then

[brazen dune]

But yeah, give mageblock instead of obsidian a try. It's 25 damage instead of 75, but it's also cheaper beacuse there's no ealing with breaking the mageblock at the end. x2 or x3

Or remove the and just spam it

[tropic bramble]

@abstract orbit

How do I get more mana?

• Learn all the glyphs you can. By default each glyph gives you 15 mana and 0.33 mana regen.
• Enchant everything with Mana Boost and Mana Regen. Each level of Mana Boost will give you 25 mana. Each level of Mana Regen will give you 2 mana per second.
• Use an Amulet of Mana Boost or Amulet of Mana Regen. These provide 50 mana, and 3 mana regen respectively.
• Craft two Rings of Greater Discount, each of these reduce your spell cost by 20 mana.
• Upgrade your Spell Book to the highest tier you can. Each book tier grants you 50 mana and 1 mana regen.
• Put a Magic Capacity thread in the highest level slot that you can. This increases your max mana by 10% per level.

Noticed a problem?

Please raise an issue with @agile pike

[brazen dune]

^^ Here's some info on how to get more mana and regen 🙂

[abstract orbit]

Thanks 🙂

[brazen dune]

Happy to help

[abstract orbit]

I was using the mageblock before, but the damage was lacking

[brazen dune]

ahh

T4 armor, is it aethermancer?

[abstract orbit]

yes

[brazen dune]

Sweet. Then try using either , maybe with some after projectile for easier aiming. Lower damage, but very spammable and thus might be more dps per mana overall

[abstract orbit]

I haven't been able to find rage gloves yet so the truly outrageous combos are still unusable for me unfortunately

is about 28 dps, but very spammable, yes

but I can maintain 120-ish dps with the obsidian railgun

[brazen dune]

For as long as you have obsidian in your hotbar, t least

But yeah, whichever works best for you 🙂

[abstract orbit]

well, now I break it and pick it up

so should last me a good while

and I have tens of thousands of obsidian anytime available through my wireless terminal so should be fine on ammo 🙂

[brazen dune]

lol yeah doesn't sound like you're hurting for obsidian at all

Once you get more mana/regen (using all the tips in that post up above) you should be able to add back in

[abstract orbit]

while I've got you here, so helpful and all, mind if I ask if you know at what point you'd consider pivoting to something else than this? Seeing as I have Aethermancer gear and shock thread, is it at some point worth to use lightning based spells instead?

[brazen dune]

I am a big air spell fan

I'd say try it now! Give discharge a try

[abstract orbit]

I'm using without the right now, that makes it cost quite a bit less and the obsidian still breaks and is returned as long as I don't try to shoot very far or straight into the sky

[brazen dune]

Can be really good for multiple enemies because it has an electricity arc aoe

[discharge]x2 by itself can be pretty nice

[abstract orbit]

like Zap / improved Zap from here https://ars.guide/spells/combat/aggressive/?

[brazen dune]

Usually the best dps you can get are from lower damage, spammabe spells, rather than from a single high damage high cost spell

(unless you have iframe skip)

yeah, zap is great.

well, i prefer improved zap

sometimes i leave off the delay and everything after it so it's just ray->spark->discharge->amp x2, because more spammability

EDIT: you cn add to discharge, too! to make the arcs bounce further

ray or projectile, your choice. Ray costs more but you have less chance of missing.

You could also do stuff with ⛓️ since you're T2, hitting mutiple enemies at once

(⛓️ = chaining glyph)

[abstract orbit]

ah

okay, I'll try to get all the glyphs for this tier at least

[brazen dune]

nice

oh and pro tip... you can unlock glyphs for T3 even if all you have is a T2 book. You can't use those glyphs, but you will get the mana/regen

[abstract orbit]

and of course the goal is to be able to kill Dragon, Wither and such so that I can progress to T3 and beyond :p

so I need to be able to do enough damage for that at least

[brazen dune]

Obsidian railgun is great for wither

For wither I personally use ray->heal-as much amplification as my mana regen can handle

[abstract orbit]

I haven't really done a lot of threads yet either, I have Warding, Spell power and Spell Capacity. From what I see there aren't many others that should affect my damage output, per say. Well, the elemental ones, of course.

I also understand that I need to do apo to really increase my output, right?

[brazen dune]

from what i recall apoheosis can help with ars spells yeah

Non-obvious combat threads are Starbuncle (more maneuverability), Whirlisprig (more healing from your food), and Wixie (more duration from your combat potions)

[abstract orbit]

Right! Oh wow, you're being ever so helpful right now, thanks a lot

[brazen dune]

oh also Reach, further range with your sword

[abstract orbit]

I want to ask you so much more but I'm afraid I'm derailing this thread significantly 😄

[brazen dune]

Let's head to #general-and-help

[last mist]

This may be worth a watch as well, depending on the modpack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVf25mVUtXY

you can also search for "Villager Phlactry" or something very similiar

but that doesn't solve the mana issue directly.

[brazen dune]

Yeah that’s definitely a more advanced setup, but if you’re good with technical stuff or good at following videos of other people’s builds you can get some extremely strong buffs like that

I usually do t recommend it to folks looking for more mana when there in T1 thru mid T3 range just because it’s a bit more of a late game setup that most will never need

And cause the usual mana tools are very accessible and make a big difference

[last mist]

that's also why I recommend the entire video, where he covers at the beginning various cost reduction means

his entire playlist for Ars is very informative and thought-provoking. I like how he shows building the desired effect in steps

so that if you want to take that left turn at Albaqueque, you can

[brazen dune]

Oh nice. I admit I didn't watch it, just briefly glanced at the video. I'll check his videos out and consider adding them to my list that I recommend to people when they ask for tutorials

[last mist]

it does center around ATM10, so keep that in mind

[brazen dune]

ahhh, ty

[gloomy thicket]

Boop

[sacred harbor]

Where can I find the obsidian railgun spell combination

[brazen dune]

Scroll to the top and read the first page or two of messages, you’ll find a couple of variants in there

[sonic sonnet]

i like this one
My prefered version is *3 , dealing 25 dmg
But the damage scales with block hardness, so launching obsidian (replacing with ) deals 75 ish dmg
can be replaced with in newer versions

Ofc make sure you have block shaper focus

[brazen dune]

Been on my phone all day which makes it a pain to scroll to the top or use emoji, but my favorite is about a page down from the top. It uses pantomime-place block-leap-some amps-delay-snare-break-amp-pickup

Or if I’m using mageblocks, then the one maniac said

For tier 2 I also like pantomime or overhead or touch-sensitive followed by chain-mage block-leap-amp x3, more mage blocks makes it easier to aim

[brazen dune]

At a computer! Darkbuncle originally posted the obsidian version that I use #1141341426223960064 message (except I'm on 1.21 so I use instead of and add another onto leap)

[timber maple]

Why doesn’t it work in 1.19.2

[jade bronze]

did you equip ?

[clever verge]

I to have tried this and not working on a 1.20.1 pack, got the focus on, tired the various combos, got obsidan in hotbar and tried offhand none seem to be working. just posting these to make sure whats needed

what it does is grabs the mob and throws it behind me

[steep mantle]

youre too close to the mob i think

[clever verge]

Tried around 2 blocks, 5-10 blocks and even 30 blocks snipes (tired proj instead touch ofc for snipes)

Could there be something config that a pack had disabled to make one these not work right? Playing Linggango atm and no rage glove so the normal goto spells not really useful XD

ok got it to work 50% the time and yes i have to be about 5+ blocks away

[gloomy thicket]

yea places on the air block at the very edge of your range

[clever verge]

Ah that explains it i have like 10 block reach atm -_-

[gloomy thicket]

yea thatll doit

if you have then that would be a valid alternative

[ionic elbow]

got an issue where the spell shoots mageblocks but not obsidian, it is kinda my go-to every run so i am baffled about what i am doing wrong this time. I even put the full spell in instead of slimming down on amplifies and snares you dont need

default block reach

[pure cosmos]

Uhhh

Well, that's ancient stone, not obsidian

That's your first problem

[real cedar]

Yo what’s your modpack that you got Ars and Terramity to play nice??

[ionic elbow]

i tried it with cobble, obsidian and ancient stone idk, i went with mage block because of the trinkets somehow making me still deal 60dmg with mageblocks

[ionic elbow]

im playing on linggango modpack

i actually havent tried taking off every single trinket and then hittign it again

but i did check to make sure it wasnt an issue with block reach, but then it would be send the blocks i touch flying not from my inventory

[real cedar]

A who

[viral holly]

why not tho?

[safe cedar]

because this thread was made before was made

[shy belfry]

has "short distance" in its description

[viral holly]

Oh lol

[icy marsh]

In 1.19 didn't aim vertically, only horizontally
Don't know about 1.21 tho

[viral holly]

Yeah after some testing I think is the best one and easiest to aim with

[gloomy thicket]

weird
i find using insufferable because no verticalidy

[fleet meadow]

What do you use then?

[fleet meadow]

Oh wait nvm

[hidden cloak]

Honestly it’s kind of a good thing

Easier to aim slightly up and such

Also I’m pretty sure knockback has a bit more force

[gloomy thicket]

theres something kinda funny about your words
you cant aim upwards with knockback

[pure cosmos]

well the mod's too family friendly for that

[gloomy thicket]

god damn it

[fleet meadow]

Is it possible to use the spikes from ars elemental as an alternative to obsidian?

If so how much damage does spikes do?

[safe cedar]

if the obsidian variant deals 80 or so, spike is not an alternative as its cap is 40 (but meant to be armor piercing)

the main problem is that it's treated as a falling dripstone in the dmg calc so straight shooting it probably results in low damage compared to making it fall on their head

[fleet meadow]

Oh, I had hoped that they reworked the dmg system so that it just depends on the velocity in any direction, not just downwards

[safe cedar]

no it tries to make it behave exactly like a falling spike for compatibility

the fact that it ignores armor forced to set up the configurable dmg cap

in the tests it was very inconstistent between dealing little or an enormous amount, lol

[fleet meadow]

Ohhh, it completely ignores armor? I thought it would just ignore a fraction of it. If so that damage cap is entirely valid

[fleet meadow]

💔

[safe cedar]

nothing "partially ignores armor" because mc doesn't have a way to do that

even the new magefire is simply adding back part of the reduction

protection enchants are usually a separate calc so that might still apply

[fleet meadow]

?? That’s a rather big flaw

Doesn’t a mace enchantment partially ignore armor though?

Or does it ignore it fully?

[fleet meadow]

Yeah makes sense

[safe cedar]

the enchantment might be wired directly in the armor calc

yeah seems strictly tied to the weapon used and its enchantment

i wonder if that could be used for smth like a binder thread

[hidden cloak]

It

Have you used knockback before

Atleast TRY the glyphs

this is so hypocritical coming from me considering how little I use other mods compared to ars

Anyways basically knockback applies a tiny bit of vertical force

[gloomy thicket]

I did remember?
season 6 before cat unsmote the leap glyph
i was constantly complaining

[hidden cloak]

I think that’s a bit of an aiming issue on your part then
Sure you can’t shoot straight up but you don’t really need to

Because from experience (pelting cat with mageblocks) they did go up a bit

And consistently hit

Same with most mobs

[gloomy thicket]

it was a weird change

the issue being not that I could nt hit anything
i just coulnt snipe due to the basically fixed range

[hidden cloak]

Oh then it’s an issue with being too use to leap aiming ig

Anyways basically it fires in sort of an arc

[pure cosmos]

...now I'm kinda wondering like--

Could we make a 'mirv' railgun

Fire the shot, have it burst and explode the mageblocks outwards in all directions

[gloomy thicket]

like fire a set of mageblocks and then have them explode midair? or have a spell that resolves into that?

[pure cosmos]

Set a mage block, and then wehrever it lands

mageblocks explode outwards

[icy marsh]

Ye. I did that in a world

Sort of a grenade

I lost the world, but i think the spell was:

[static ruin]

Hey, this might be already asked, but I'm using the Pantomime/sensitive version of the spell ChosenArchitect showed off. When the spell is cast, it collides with the spot in the air and then nothing happens, only occurring it it hits a block that is there and then it launches that block, not obsidian.

[fleet meadow]

You need obsidian in your hot bar

[static ruin]

there is obsidian in my hot bar

[fleet meadow]

Are you using item pickup

There’s another glyph that looks the same

[fleet meadow]

Try hovering over the fourth slot?

What does it say

?

[static ruin]

Insert

[fleet meadow]

Yeah that’s the wrong glyph

You gotta use place block

[static ruin]

Okay, thank you. I must've seen the icon and assume it was the same.

[fleet meadow]

Yeah I made the same mistake recently 😭

That’s how I noticed

[static ruin]

Cheers man x.x Saved me alot of stressing over it.

[fleet meadow]

Hope u have fun :)

Oh both messages sent mb

[agile gorge]

is this still the ideal

or has anyone made cool modification

[fleet meadow]

No it’s lowkey quite outdated

[fleet meadow]

Tis lowkey it

[icy marsh]

The Magician's Railgun, created by Gweaven (https://discord.com/channels/743298050222587978/1141341426223960064), uses the shaper's focus to launch blocks at your enemies, dealing massive ammounts of damage

My prefered version is *3 , dealing 25 dmg
But the damage scales with block hardness, so launching obsidian (replacing with ) deals 75 ish dmg
can be replaced with in newer versions

[fleet meadow]

You can also have it auto break itself

So you don’t gotta clean up the obsidian

[icy marsh]

Ye

But lategame obsidian is kinda worthless

So i just leave it to show off how i abuse mobs

[fleet meadow]

True..

Even early game obsidian is worthless depending on the mod pack

[agile gorge]

oh shoot i already started crafting the first one

[fleet meadow]

I set up a auto obsidian generator in like two days

[fleet meadow]

Oop

[agile gorge]

this?

[fleet meadow]

Yeah

[agile gorge]

dang i js got under foot 😭

waste

[icy marsh]

Early build up or platform

[agile gorge]

for this is there anything else i need to do for the spell?

i acquired all the glyphs but it just places a block down

[fleet meadow]

You need to equip a focus of block shaping in order for it to do damage

Interesting how it didn’t knock it back at all tho

[fleet meadow]

Can I see your spell layout?

[agile gorge]

focus of block shaping? yeah i dont think i got that

[sonic sonnet]

You need it for the spell to work

Its base ars so you should have it unless your pack disabled it

[agile gorge]

the slimeballs are rlly hard to get

im nowhere near a swamp

[sonic sonnet]

if your modpack has create, theres other ways to get slime balls
check recipes in JEI

[agile gorge]

if i have it what should i do with it?

just right click or do i have to do something else

[sonic sonnet]

equip it in the curio menu

[agile gorge]

if i accidentally right clicked it

what would happen

[sonic sonnet]

nothing, that also equips it

now when you cast the railgun, it should work

[agile gorge]

wth it didnt work so i thought it disappeared

ill try again

[sonic sonnet]

Just check your curio menu

[gloomy thicket]

if its in your menu then itll work

I just explained the menu to him lol

[agile gorge]

IT WORKS

i used it on a pig and that seemed to work finally

thx yall

[gloomy thicket]

lol
ofc
and congrat

s

[agile gorge]

i can switch it to obsidian cannon right

[gloomy thicket]

yea

[agile gorge]

bet

im able to pick up the obsidian after?

[gloomy thicket]

with a spell yea

[burnt night]

Saw this version in a youtube comment which seems similar:

Pantomime, sensitive, amplify, place block, leap, amplify, delay, break, amplify, item pickup
Any differences in utility here?

[gloomy thicket]

It's one updated for 121.1
It's more accurate and doesn't have a min range

[sly fog]

shadow cloak relic?

[gloomy thicket]

that info is actually outdated now
the shadow cloak let you deal extra dmg while invisable

[sly fog]

oh i see

besides just spamming amplify, is there another way to max out the dmg of obsidian railgun?

[hidden cloak]

iirc adding more knockback/leap but i forget exactly

[gloomy thicket]

after amp and after using the hardest possible block you can still augment it with any ars spellpower and external mods

[hidden cloak]

and depending on ur mods you could possibly use something with higher hardness than obsidian

[gloomy thicket]

this does not work

[hidden cloak]

oh and also equipping air foci

[sly fog]

I'm using ALOE which is very similar to valhelsia 6 if that helps

[hidden cloak]

[sly fog]

dont you need block shaping foci

[hidden cloak]

[sly fog]

oh my god i didnt know that

[hidden cloak]

(specifically elemental ones)

[sly fog]

leap is elemental air?

[hidden cloak]

yeah i dont think its mentioned anywhere

[sly fog]

would air threads help

[hidden cloak]

yeh

[hidden cloak]

idk

if it amplifies air glyphs probably

[sly fog]

like thread of pressure

i need a precision mechanism for that? wtf

[gloomy thicket]

presursse doesnt affect it

[hidden cloak]

does it add spellpower or amplify

[gloomy thicket]

thats a different thing

[hidden cloak]

oh right ars technica

anyways ive managed to make mageblocks 1 shot someone in full netherite diving gear with protection via 2 air foci (cat left a curio slot)

[sly fog]

what are some good relics I should use?

in combination with such

[gloomy thicket]

I would recommend checking out Bucketst's vid on it as it has changed signifigantly

[hidden cloak]

hunters belt because funny 10 damage mageblock

thingo

(animated blocks are affected by it)

[gloomy thicket]

masterfull
relics got reworked

[hidden cloak]

wait what did they do to hunters belt

[sly fog]

I realize I can run 3 foci as my curio slot can hold one and my offhand slot too. But my curio slot is currently taken by a ring of greater discount

Should I replace it? Would it be better/more efficient

[sly fog]

what is hunters belt normally supposed to do?

[hidden cloak]

it increased pet damage by like 300 or 400% at max

[sly fog]

what pet do you run, some kind of familiar?

[hidden cloak]

so up to 500% (5x) damage

[hidden cloak]

animated block

[sly fog]

how do I get that

[hidden cloak]

animate block glyph

[sly fog]

oh

so how does it work with obsidian railgun exactlyh

[hidden cloak]

it doesnt
its just my favorite relics relic and relics was mentioned

[sly fog]

oh lmao

[hidden cloak]

oh wait it might work with summon undead

...which has enchanted netherite weaponry at 4 amplifies

...and with a focus of summoning they have like strength 2 or 3 which is +6 or +9 damage

aka beeg damage :D
