highest amount of stone is 7 fatigue dangers in the deep

#

Not even just new players but it's a struggle to build a full new set with that

time to destroy ice build

#

It's underwhelming that the last souljade you get from the Nightscream version of the new boss is only to add additional mark.

cursive fable
#

ice build is essentially useless for badges

fierce light
#

I don't think that's to maximize damage tbh. Since you can't get the same non-rare on the same jade, that's at least 1 Attack and 1 Primary DMG Bonus that's missing from that one jade.

#

Likely was made with switching builds easier in mind.

cursive fable
#

@fierce light i think its still the best ,assuming you scale equally from attack/astral damage/thundr damage/boss damage

#

6x4.5=27

#

assuming each attribute is 1, windfall makes it 1.5

# cursive fable <@394141981200351235> i think its still the best ,assuming you scale equally fro...

If you want to scale 4 different non-rares equally, you can just do:

  • x4 [Moderation]
  • x6 Stat 1 (6 Stat Value)
  • x6 Stat 2 (6 Stat Value)
  • x6 Stat 3 (6 Stat Value)
  • x6 Stat 4 (6 Stat Value)
    -# Total Stat Value = 24

Doing it your way, that would be:

  • x4 [Moderation]
  • x6 [Windfall]
  • x5 Stat 1 (7.5 Stat Value)
  • x5 Stat 2 (7.5 Stat Value)
  • x4 Stat 3 (6 Stat Value)
  • x4 Stat 4 (6 Stat Value)
    -# Total Stat Value = 27

So while it does give more overall stat value, it also gives priority to 2 stats alongside costing more than 3 times as many Rare Attributes on average.

cursive fable
#

for jade 5-7 that would be value of 4 instead of 4.5 ?

#

are there any other combination to make it 27 ?

#

4 mods must be the same jade to make it 27 i think?

#

ya i was wondering why the top CN players has 4 mods on the same jade, they have like thousands of mats saved up

fierce light
#

I doubt any build wants a truly equal split among 4 non-Rare Attributes though. There's:

  • 4 Rare Attributes Spent: 24 Stat Value
  • 7 Rare Attributes Spent: 25.5 Stat Value
  • 13 Rare Attributes Spent: 27 Stat Value
cursive fable
#

13 Rare Attributes Spent: 27 Stat Value , i think this one is 10 rare attribute spent?

#

since its 4 mod and 6 windfall

fierce light
#

It looks like 4 Mod + 0 Windfalls will always give 24 Stat Value, 4 Mod + 1-7 Windfalls spread evenly will give 25.5 Stat Value and 4 Mod on one jade + 6 Windfall spread evenly gives 27 Stat Value.

#

Accumulation rate shouldn't matter much for this build. The Threefold Attacks hit hard enough to proc any element.

#

Huanyue keeps killing me when I get to the 9th or 10th boss with her undefusable attacks.

#

Sucks being only level 52 cause I spent fatigue early

kind escarp

so just replace it with tcounter?

just changed the potential a bit

That'll allow you to get Heaven and Earth Mark quickly

You'll have to delay it a bit too generate Mortal Marks consistently

I am building armor Shayol for the memes

I wish scaling didn't pigeon hole you into straight attack

I wish Rage or Armor were viable

fierce light
#

Her Shield Throw only gets 3% stronger per 1000 Armor lol, crazy

#

I can see why though, cause if you're unkillable with high armor, would be unbalanced to make you hit hard too

limpid pecan
#

haha unbalanced

#

like showdown has any balance whatsoever

fierce light
#

Fair
Even then, it would need some really high scaling to qualify for its own build like Kylin

limpid pecan
#

yeah

#

i dont really get the way they are pushing showdown forward

#

seems rn they want every new hero to have some hero specific build

#

but they take 0 steps to let people have more than 1 build

#

they even actively punish people for trying

it would be better at this point

its like they learn nothing

#

from the past

#

we used to have atrocious rng system for jades before

kind escarp
limpid pecan
#

so now they are like ok we add curios with this

kind escarp
fierce light
#

That would reduce the required Curio grind, but also prevent non-Curio builds from being useless.

limpid pecan
#

just make curios permanent or delete entirely

#

the only reason they did it

#

is so people need to grind all season

kind escarp
limpid pecan
#

before if u had fragments technically u just needed showdown lvl

#

then u were good to go

turbid agate
#

Yeah curios should be permanent, just release them and inferno when peak comes out

covert olive
limpid pecan
#

better would be system where each week leaderboard finish counts

#

and they make it easy to change builds

#

like instead of recasting souljades, we recast stats

so we can swap jades with same stats

It would be kinda wack if they just decided to up and remove the element/surge potential

#

Unless the next chopping block is hydroflare potential

cursive skiff
#

hi

fierce light
#

Probably the highest skill cap we've had so far, but also has some RNG in it that other builds haven't till now.

#

I am noticing a weakness in that overly mobile bosses hurt it quite a bit. Which sucks cause they just adding ones that constantly fly.

fierce light
#

Otherwise, Scorching will become useless again, which I think they're trying to avoid.

valid roost
#

I can't see what other direction they take potential in if they continue to change it every season like they've been doing

#

Element surge potential remains as relevant as ever before curios

fierce light
#

Yeah Ice Surge still one of the strongest, if not the strongest mobbing build we have atm

turbid agate
#

Yup would suck to remove surge potential

valid roost
#

So really none of the potential trees can be removed unless the idea is this is the permanent tree, and they just change the actual buffs inside

#

I get removing lotus since it was almost worthless by now

fierce light
#

That line of Curios will be useless as well

valid roost
#

Yeah... and unfortunately will probably only further incentivize they don't rerun curios

fierce light
#

Wonder if we'll finally get a General Curio for Burn. Or will they do it for Threefold only.

#

If they give Threefold Mark something like Sutra, I could see it staying competitive with Curios.

limpid pecan
#

how good are these threefold marks?

fierce light
#

Against more aggressive bosses, you'd probably want to go for Azure Draco Break, while less aggressive ones Vermillion Bird Scorch.

limpid pecan
#

how do these marks even work?

#

i know u get them by using defuse/parry/aegis break

#

and black tortoise aid is shayol specific?

Huh, this season is short.

Damn, that's not really enough time to invest in 2 builds

I guess I'll dip my toe into Threefold, just getting single rares. Then I'll decide from there.

limpid pecan

man thats so sad to read it hurts

#

xD

#

3 months not even to try 1 build

#

#

what is showdown even at this point

I'll spend the rest into my Matari build I didn't finish last season

valid roost
#

I can't imagine how disastrous of a grind it'd be if we were still leveling up souljades directly

viscid wraith
valid roost
#

I wasn't around for when that was a thing but I hear it was horrible

limpid pecan
#

and later in season u have some blue jades stocked up so u can level up instantly

#

its nice QoL to have showdown lvl instead

#

but its not like they changed a whole lot

fierce light
#

It increased the value of Blue Souljades ever so slightly and removed the initial expenditure. Pretty decent QoL, but there's still the gapping issue of the reliance on Rare Attributes.

limpid pecan
#

they really need to disjoint stats from jades

#

also tbh they should rework materials

#

just remove carved crystals

#

entirely

fierce light
#

It's crazy, they can give Rift Traversal a really solid gearing system, but butcher Showdown like this.

limpid pecan
#

yeah rift has way better gear

#

even looting is more interesting

#

at least u look at some cool jpg

#

sparkling red

#

instead of grueling jade fragment slog

#

and also something like half of showdown gameplay

#

is loading screens

#

or settlement screens

#

showdown doesnt have a single mode that gives u 20-25min satisfying game to play

#

tbh i kinda wonder whats the point of fatigue even at this point

#

the people who grind showdown religiously have vast stockpiles anyway

#

they can make any build day 1

#

its just a way to cut off legs from new/returning/periodic players

fierce light
#

They could do a lot of stuff:

Remove Armor and Weapon Rarity Upgrades from Hero Levels

  • Instead, have preset Armor and Weapon as possible drops from varying levels.

Remove Attributes from Souljades

  • Instead, have Attributes be a removable item from Armor/Weapon slots that you can upgrade over time.

Rework the Souljade Rarity System

  • Instead of certain Souljades being Epic or Legendary, have all Souljades able to upgrade to Extreme with increasing strength (similar to Curio rarities).

Remove all Infinite RNG Systems

  • Attribute Value can have lower chances to upgrade at higher amounts, but has a set amount of attempts until it's guaranteed.
  • Allow Tempered Essence to be used to Recast Attributes on Curios. Recast attempts can not result in the same Attribute that was present before the attempt.
    • 30-50 Tempered Essence can be combined into an item, that when used, allows an Attribute of the player's choice to appear.

are so barebones

#

i gave up on that

#

the bosses are just more and more cancer

#

grind is more and more

#

and curio rng on top of that

#

i cba anymore

#

tbh i think first yama was actually best

#

it just needed some way to obtain ur jades

#

in consistent manner

#

people would say it had more rng but idk

#

new yama has even worse rng

#

u need to fish for specific boss attacks

#

or avoid bs like manticore iron skin

#

at least showdown is crazy for farming quests

#

on other hand lotus ding

#

ngl showdown players have it rough

#

in rift u have lotus ding 24/7

valid roost
#

Plus you get it once and now what reason would you have to farm it again if armor/weapon rarity was a thing

#

Having stats you could swap around would actually incentivize building multiple characters

limpid pecan
#

problem is rn the showdown building is atrocious

#

its just clicking simulator

#

with awful rng

#

and heavy grind requirement

#

most of good PVE games make it fun to loot because u always have chance to obtain the perfect item

#

in showdown its essentially impossible to obtain anywhere close to perfect jade

#

imagine u could sometimes drop jade with double windfall for instance

#

would actually feel exciting

#

instead u drop loot that is atrocious

#

and requires hundreds of fragments to become good

#

its like playing rift but u only loot blue and grey items

#

ye eventually u can sell enough of them to buy red u need

#

but there is no fun in that

#

if they at least detach stats from jades

#

it would be nice for trying out builds

#

and then instead they could introduce new stat every season or something

#

like idk

#

threefold mark dmg +X%

#

so we can grind some new stats

#

if we want new build

#

but after that

#

we get to try out any configuration we can think of

#

also tbh

#

showdown levels

#

are often designed in annoying way

#

like for example archers on houses

#

are really annoying

#

especially for heroes without mobile Fs

limpid pecan
#

tbh i think diablo 3 system would be best overall

#

u drop gear with random stats

#

and u can pick only one stat to reroll to stat of choice

#

and max value

#

and for yama u just add "all stats have max value"

#

so people can grind their gear infinitely effectively

#

because its extremely unlikely u hit max stats on 3 stats out of 4 or something

#

rerolling one stat alleviates randomness just enough to keep it fun

#

or there can be 2 versions of yama

#

1 version where u take preset builds

#

and 1 version where u take ur own grinded gear

#

would be nice also if they made open world map

#

where u do various activities and quests

#

and gradually consume fatigue

like enigma but full map

weapon attacks actually do some dmg

# wicked pulsar soo yall try out the new souljades , im just wondering on how to build a set aro...

Right now it looks like it has 2 paths, ones better for mobbing, the other is better for bossing.

Mobbing Set Up

Threefold Gathering, Four Spirits Converge, Dual Spirit Marks, Pestilent Pool, Element Surge, & Miasma Drive

-# Do note for the current Yama's Stage, the mobs die too quickly to make use of the Attack buffs from Miasma Drive.

  • Spam your Heroes' Aegis-break to acquire Mortal Marks, to then activate Vermilion Bird Scorch when you get 3 by landing a Crouched Horizontal attack.

Bossing Set Up

Threefold Gathering, Four Spirits Converge, Dual Spirit Marks, Thunderpull, Thunder Counter, & Thunderproof
  • Charge up Thundershock by spamming attacks, then use it to get a Defuse Counterattack + Counterstrike off, for an Earth and a Heaven Mark respectively. Then use an Aegis-break followed by a Crouched Horizontal to activate Black Tortoise's Aid. From there, spam Aegis-breaks (or Defuse Counterattacks for aggressive bosses) and use a Crouched Horizontal attack when you get 3 of a kind. Repeat until Black Tortoise's Aid runs out.

Recommended Heroes

  • Viper Ning, Feria Shen (w/ Sap), Tianhai (w/ Jabbing), Kurumi (w/ Sap), Valda Cui, Matari, Wuchen, Justina, & Shayol Wei.

d4 i refuse to even install on my pc, i give up

I actually like D4 as a single player story driven ARPG

i love items with stats like + 9% dmg to monsters who like to eat cereal on thursday morning while wearing a nice hat

D4 is worth the 1 time playthrough if you enjoy story/PvE combined, but not if you're an endgame hunter.

quaint girder
limpid pecan
#

i looked at the cinematic compilation of d4

#

it was so bad i gave up

quaint girder
#

What do you consider good story cinematic?

limpid pecan
#

d3 was full of banger cinematics

#

d2 was was full of banger cinematics

#

wow/warcraft had plenty, starcraft had plenty

valid roost
#

It's why I just stick with old Diablo

limpid pecan
#

d4 cinematics look like soggy cereal compared to that

quaint girder
#

Cinematics are alright. They enhance story telling, but I think we've kind of grown past it. Cinematics are a poor use of business resources nowadays.

limpid pecan
#

well maybe but when 20

quaint girder
#

You basically now use it for marketing instead of story-telling

limpid pecan
#

20+ years old game

#

outperforms

#

newest game

#

idk man

quaint girder
#

Well I guess tbf

#

I did recently pick up D4 only because of the new Paladin class

limpid pecan
#

i would honestly take original d2 cinematics

quaint girder
#

and I'm having a blast with Paladin

limpid pecan
#

with thier crappy res

#

over d4 cinematics

#

no joke

quaint girder
#

Fair

valid roost
quaint girder
#

Cinematics have to have substance though, you can't just throw it in like a math formula.

limpid pecan
#

also the d4 trailer was just plain boring

quaint girder
#

Triple A studios have a lot of resources which may stifle creativity.

#

But

#

24E has shown the opposite is true

limpid pecan
#

i mean d3 had maybe some of the best actually quality/substance taken all in all

quaint girder
#

24E has limited budget/staff and spectacularly fails at becoming creative.

limpid pecan
#

like tyrael's sacrifice

valid roost
#

As long as you remember that graphics that are dated now at one point were cutting edge, it's not as bad looking in retrospect

limpid pecan
#

was peak

quaint girder
#

It's why I couldn't get past Act 1

valid roost
#

Blizzard cinematics back then were definitely more passionate

fierce light
#

Okay, I tried the new mini boss on Nightscream pretty underleveled (Lv. 62 vs 77). It is fast, but it actually has good telegraphs. Unlike Matron that you have to guess based on how fast she rotates slowly.

limpid pecan
#

wow is fully dead, sadly blizzard now is overrun with people whose main priority is not story or content but replacing picture of woman with bowl of fruits

#

but d3 did one thing good with items at mystic

valid roost
limpid pecan
#

rerolling just 1 stat per item

#

was very good middle ground

#

between grinding items and full on RNG fest

valid roost
#

Honestly I'd take even Diablo 1 for looting despite how primitive it is compared to the glow up of D2

#

And it's only really primitive because it was novel at the time

limpid pecan
#

d2 has best itemization out of any game probably

#

its fun af, encourages experimentation and allows for variety of builds

#

but the controls in d2 are very dated

#

and potions are kinda ass

valid roost
#

Inventory too

#

But there's no denying it's a classic

fierce light
#

Hopefully with this season being short means they're cooking something major for next season

kind escarp
#

i saw it insta wiped a whole team in niriti

fierce light
#

I'll do the new major boss later, but I reckon that's going to be harder since there's an even bigger level gap

limpid pecan
#

4 new jades, 1 new mini boss, 1 boss and 2 maps u play once each

fierce light
#

Wish they would make these hyper niche jades stronger

limpid pecan
#

and maybe they delete potential for chain crush or burn to be extra funny

#

i wish they skipped boss stuff every 2nd season

#

and focused on gameplay/qol

#

buff bad builds

#

etc

kind escarp
#

well then they can start with bolt and armor builds

#

oh yes burn one too

#

yup...they need a 2nd potential page

fierce light
#

We'd need like Bolt DMG +100% attributes or something crazy for it to be any good lol

kind escarp
#

wow...its that bad

#

i like bolt in niriti

limpid pecan
#

they arent using it to fine tune builds

fierce light
#

Or they'd have to buff its base multipliers.

limpid pecan
#

they are using it to make jades they release usable

#

like whats the point of billion lotus jades if lotus deals 0 dmg without potential?

#

there is 0 benefit from potential being in showdown rn

#

potential should be used to fine tune some stats/qol stuff

fierce light
#

Pretty much there to prevent you from fully hybriding builds

kind escarp
#

i don't agree to the deleting part but jades do need some adjustments...and potential can just work as an enhancement...or to have a special skill/effect

versed barn
#

without potentiall is ass

limpid pecan
#

just make some jades extreme and u can only have 1 extreme max

#

or 2 max

#

or just let people cook

fierce light
#

Yeah kind of weird we don't have extreme jades yet

versed barn
#

lets go even celestial jades 😉

limpid pecan
#

pink jades lets go

versed barn
#

why not

limpid pecan
#

anything at all at this point

kind escarp
#

extreme jades r basically just curios lol

fierce light
#

Honestly they could remove the current potential and just make it based on the Prowess instead

kind escarp
#

i mean they could just put rare attribute effects as a potential as well...and straight up just delete normal attributes from jades

#

and just like u said earlier...armor can have the stats

#

It's much more interesting cause it's harder
But there's literally 0benefit to play it and hard lvl is like virtually 3x faster runs than legend with same rewards

#

At least they added 3 more bosses to topaz for extra rewards that's kinda something
But I also hate it they kept huanyue for this season
Could've replaced her with the new bosses
They seem to be much less annoying than them wolf women

fierce light
#

I agree though, I actually have to pay attention when playing Nightscream/Legend, but literally can watch a Subbed Anime while running "Hard".

turbid agate
#

There should be like a 5% chance or something to get a flux shard for clearing Legend ruins, as an extra reward for each completion.

fierce light
#

Would have to be more than that cause Legend takes a really long time to clear. At the very least it should consume more fatigue than Tempered Inferno. Having a 5% chance to drop Flux Jade Shards on top of that would be nice. Maybe a 1-2.5% chance in Nightscream.

turbid agate
#

Yeah, I mean I don’t know the logistics, but there should be more proper rewards from both.

fierce light
#

Cause if they just increase the rewards without increasing the fatigue cost, it'll be more of a punishment for players who don't have as much time to invest in it.

How hard was Yama's abyss pre curios? As in season 1 abyss

timid heath
#

😮

fierce light
#

Pretty difficult on the last 3 stages

#

Many people didn't even manage to clear it

#

Unless you're talking about the Yama's Abyss before the rework, in which it was RNG Hell to even get your Souljades with the right Attributes, let alone getting the right Anima Rings.

valid roost
#

I meant after the rework yeah, but sounds like it was torture even with a trios team to back you up if some people couldn't complete it

#

Would explain their overcompensation to make it easier

limpid pecan
#

tbh old yama was kinda fun

#

just they needed to give consistent way to gain ur jades back

#

and thats all

#

new yama is RNG as hell too

#

just ur rng is boss moves instead

#

however stage with korvine was omega fked

#

lvl 55 was giga block

#

coz it had frog korvine and normal korvine both

#

and frog korvine takes like 2x longer than anything else with burn build

fierce light
#

Old Yama's also had Omens that significantly reduced the damage of everything except a certain damage type, so if you didn't get the corresponding rings for it early enough, you could pretty much scrap that run, regardless of your skill. Then there was the fact that the Lost Curse didn't consume time, so the absolute fastest runs had to abuse that. Your Souljades also had to be bought in a shop and with there being so many set-based Souljades, if you didn't get those together, that run is scrapped. Trios amplified this fact by needing all 3 players to get the right stuff, or you feed everything into one while the others afk. Not just that, but the Attributes on the Souljades you could get were randomized, with the ones you actually have outside of the mode influencing the ones that can appear slightly.

#

All around it was terrible RNG on top of RNG to get the fastest runs, with skill only helping on the slight chances that everything aligned.

limpid pecan
#

i mean yeah but also

#

it was more fun to play

#

if u got playable run

#

they just needed to reduce rng and remove lost

#

coz this new yama idk also

#

how many runs ruined because manticore starts jumping somewhere

#

or uses iron skin

#

or does mini ult

#

its not any better

That's only cause we can reset quickly so people are able to reduce the amount of nuance in their runs significantly

Wondering, for thunder surge scorch for Shayol, since you want to swap thunder charge for thunderproof, would basalt armor work at all? Or any other jade? Backfire? @fierce light

fierce light

Backfire would likely be a larger increase in DPS over Basalt Armor.

#

Extra Armor shouldn't be needed when running Thunder Counter on her.

True, also sap helps out. Thank you Dark.

also u didnt even read my point

my point was to keep the 15 levels run like before

with reduction to rng

such as consistent way to obtain jades

#

e.g. in first shop u can select 3 jades u want, another shop 3 more

remove lost

My own feelings of insecurity or inadequacy, whether true or false, is independent of my own observations and experiences with players who liked Season 1 Yama lol.

limpid pecan
#

one day its evil pink teams

#

other time its evil thunderscorch players

#

another day its evil elitist showdown players who want nirriti more than hard worth playing

#

today its evil ragers who couldnt contain their emotions in old system

limpid pecan
quaint girder
quaint girder
#

I implied that the devs changed Yama for a reason.

limpid pecan
#

yeah the old system as it was, was indeed garbage

quaint girder
#

Season 1's Yama only lasted ONE season. Then they swapped to the current system we have now.

limpid pecan
#

however it had some good points about it

#

that yama was 2 seasons no?

#

1 and 1.5

#

first was up to lvl 50

quaint girder
#

Right, we have those half seasons in Showdown

limpid pecan
#

then up to 60 with korvine

#

9 months total

quaint girder
#

Two whole seasons, but we're already on S4 or S5 now.

#

So that was a long time ago, and the fact they didn't bring back the old system means that the playerbase (at least in CN) prefer this current system.

limpid pecan
#

to be honest i doubt they would ever fully revert to old

#

regardless if they like it or not

#

e.g. new maelstrom map is hated by majority of people

#

but there are no signs of them removing it or fixing core issues like poison sea or red weapons

#

in CN they can just turn it off from matchmaking so they dont care

quaint girder
#

They have the metrics to back it up. Unlike BR which they keep screwing up and Rift which the mess up like 50% of the time, Showdown has been very consistent and they've actually listened to player feedback. Surprisingly they actually use Zer0's suggestions which implies many players in China have complained about the same issues.

limpid pecan
#

i think many of zero's suggestions are in line with what every veteran showdown player wants

#

its like i can go and make feedback thread to be done with RNG rare attribute hell

#

and everybody will agree

#

but idk if devs want to fix it

#

they see it as some engagement mechanic in their twisted metrics

#

i feel like showdown is developed specifically to give the least amount of fun to players without making them outright quit

quaint girder
#

It would be a lot better where we can make informed choices with rare attributes

limpid pecan
