If I have position creeper out and have venom. Does venom compress the creepers psn damage ? Or do they stack similar to rabies and psn creeper do ?
@Alzorath6 күн бұрын
they'll override each other based on bit rate (roughly "dps") - highest will apply its bit rate and duration. (there is stuff that happens in addition to this, but generally speaking you won't notice it in normal play, but sadly they don't stack, and venom only compresses the poison on the attack itself)

No person can tell anybody what looks fun; I read on multiple comments and on sites that Hellpoint was a good indie souls type, yet I tried it days ago for 20 minutes, and it's very bland in how it looks and looks very basic. I like dolmen way better; to me, it has a good story, is fun, and has good-looking enemies. By judging from comments, people would rank Hell over dol, but to me, Hell isn't close to it.

Paladin is the epitome of the "100% everything" kind of character, one that excels at every single aspects of the game: defense (Holy shield and Resist auras), speed (Vigor, Charge, plus Teleport is you have Enigma), Aoe abilities (Hammers, Elemental auras), boss-killing abilities (Smite), magicfind (easy to stack without sacrificing much power), he can be a caster (Hammerdin), a melee char (Zeal and Smite), an elemental melee char (Auradin). No other class in the game even come close overall
@Alzorath18 күн бұрын
The druid can get somewhat close when kitted properly - though he generally only does one at a time, while paladin can dual-spec pretty easily (and the druid's summons are fairly decent, the reason they underperform is he lacks a consistent power amplifier for them like the necro's curses)

Finished it just yesterday. It has a unique art style, great music (have it on vinyl!) and like with every Metroidvania, simply progressing and unlocking new skills feels just much better and rewarding than in most other games I play. That said, I think there is also wasted potential. It takes too long to get to a simple double jump and even then, it's tied to an item that you lose with a new cycle the first half or more. So you have to reacquire is again and again and that's a chore. Speaking of which, traversal is wonky: While there were certain moments when I used the wall jump to my advantage, most of the time it was useless. The air dash even more so, cuz it only let's you dash backwards, like an evasion of sorts. And quick travel also is tied to specific requirements that are only accessible a bit later and even then, it's a chore to even activate it. I only managed to activate 3 quick travel points, most of the time, I just ran around the entire map - which is big. Combat is not complex, boss fights are fairly easy, although I don't need a hard challenge everytime I pick up a game. The plant mechanics work okay-ish, but more often than not they didn't do what I expected (even with the spray later). And oh yeah, had absolutely no idea what was actually happening😅😂. It's solid, but I would recommend it to people who are already invested in Metroidvanias.

Jade Cocoon + Legend Of Dragoon were just on a different level in that JRPG Era. Their counter parts, final fantasy and chrono trigger/cross stole their lime-light. The latter were great games of course, but those two titles never got the media attention because they over lapped their release with the titans CT & FF became at the time.

It's the reward for the "Pandemonium Event" (also known as Ubers) - basically a post game and grinding challenge and boss fights. Farm keys from Hell difficulty Countess, Summoner, and Nihlithak. (recommended farming 3 of each at a minimum) Use these to open portals in act 5 (cube a full set of the 3 keys to open one portal, you'll want to do this 3 times in the same game, spacing the portals out around town, so you get each unique area) These portals go to Forgotten Sands, Furnace of Pain, or Matron's Den (game will pick them at random when you cube the keys, but can only open one to each location in a specific game session) Kill the "Uber" in each of those areas for organs (Duriel/Sands - Izual/Furnace - Lilith/Den) Combine the 3 organs in the cube, this will open Uber Tristram where you'll have a simultaneous fight with Uber Mephisto, Uber baal, and Pandemonium Diablo. It's recommended to look up build guides specifically for the ubers, since they can be very tough. Reward for beating them is a torch. Torch gives +3 to a random class's skills, and has good resist/attribute buffs, as well as casting its version of hellfire.

you dont think heart of wolverine helps grizzly?
@AlzorathАй бұрын
2 problems: 1. That's never mentioned in the video 2. This isn't a summoner build - the summons are your tanks, not your dps (and even still, as stated in the video - you get far more mileage investing in the bear rather than wolvering - if set up exactly like in the video: if you did 1 into wolverine and the rest into bear, you'd get just under 4k damage per hit on bear, with 1 into oak and the rest into bear you get around 3k damage per hit on bear, with max wolverine and 1 in bear, you get closer to 1.7k damage per hit on bear) So the way things are calculated, with the points available, no - you do not invest in Heart of the Wolverine for this build, and I listed the options I did for a reason.

This is a cool guide but I cannot get the hang of wind. 😢 I leveled as fire but switched to wind in hell cus of immunes. But my kill speed went down -- even on fire immune packs! The dang tornados make volcano look like a sniper rifle. And doors? Used to be my best friend, now my worst enemy. I switched back only with more points in boulder for the phys damage. I also just love boulder. 🤷♂️ So I'm probably doing something wrong but I'll stick to fire for now
@AlzorathАй бұрын
Yea, wind requires a bit of a different playstyle (in the same vein as hammerdin) - basically you're going to be getting closer to enemies than other casters, since you're essentially a melee caster with collateral damage as stuff moves away. You're trying to stack the damage tick effects and reaction locks. I personally prefer the fire druid as well for off-camera play, but both can be solid, just drastically different playstyles.
@wyrmh0leАй бұрын
@Alzorath You gotta stand pretty close for Armageddon so I thought I'd be fine. But it was so frustrating to be in melee range and watch every single tornado go right around them and whatever splash damage there's supposed to be seemingly not doing much of anything. I resorted to using twisters cus at least then I could consistently make enemy health go down, but the damage sucks. I appreciate the advice, but whatever I was doing wrong is more than just the distance I'm standing. 😕
