I love their map vote and queue system requiring ready check. So, no important support roles are immediately backfilled with dps.

@Biblicaldetail yeah, I have a lot of ideas. I'm not too sure if it's worth the effort because it's not really a "viewer" thing but more so feedback in the video forum. I doubt that'd be too interesting to watch, but I've considered it. Was thinking of going with "talents redone" or something like that and covering all the classes who vitally need it. Like assasssin and marauder. Example things like predation and undying rage shouldn't be a talent but baseline as they're the icon abilities of the class and their function & class identity is nearly tied to them. Same with shroud for sin and so on. If you think that'd be interesting, I'm down to do it for mara and give feedback (I have multiple times on forums already as it is)

@@CeaseFaithI feel like the devs dont even care about the Forums, Like i think they dont even read the forums

If it's up and fits into the loop, use it. But most times, it'll require them to be low. This is often not the case. Either way, a burst window is likely what will kill and using it without proc is not much different. Using it without auto critical is a bit more of a deal.

@@CeaseFaith got it, thanks!

Don't have it and don't wanna spend frags. Though I have considered. I just dislike leaching, and the specs single target was nerfed a lot with removal of assassinate auto critical that I never bother. It's quite literally just a dot class in a more traditional sense outside of 1s eradicate windows. The main reason I play it is the reset style being so fast and deadly in clumps like vengeance but less obvious. There's actually another tactical I had wanted to use, but everything's post poned till I get crafting done. I'm 0/6 so far trying to learn the schematic, and I'm broke zzz. There is no time to really grind much due to holidays being so busy for work, and I want the overtime. I'll keep it in mind though.

@forumpvp looks have nothing to do with competence. They could do this.. if they wanted to. We have already seen what they've wanted. This is what we want, if they want to meet us halfway. I don't see this video doing anything unless reason finally reaches them.. after yesterday's new lair boss, they have to see how many pvers and hard-core ones are at that they still have. It's a worthwhile investment for the longevity of the game. Both pve and pvp need endgame.

It'll never be perfect, but having to maintain or push rating will be a lot more healthy than previous renditions. Players could cheat the system, but they'd be exposed by being in lobbies they should not be in pretty quickly. The main concern there is the lesser populated servers, but it could simply not be available on those or finally realize they need merged. At the end of the day, it'd never be peak competitive as a set it and forget it system, but it'd also be difficult to manipulate. I wanted to go further with the system giving incentive for support roles to play by giving them 2x progress towards unlocks on winning, but I felt it was silly to add specifically in the video. It's merely a thought piece, and there's much improvement available to it. It totally can be done, better than this even. If I can just brainstorm this in an evening, imagine what many people can do in longer.

Lethality is god tier versus dots, sustain, and white damage dealers. Rage and ap are still a threat, but they vary on both players' skill levels on how effective either one is against the other. Madness, you can just evasion drop their dots and enjoy 15% dot DR perma. Death brand can be scary, but they're more of an annoyance, neither kill each other fast.

I don't think you have a role to talk, was done that way to avoid anyone from spamming freely. And prevent bots. I wouldnt bother with fury, it was nerfed way harder than it should have been.

@@CeaseFaith I talked the other day just cant now. I had already been a member once before rejoining recently so maybe a mod did it thinking I hadnt already had perms once. idk.

Nope. Not allowed + can't imagine an actual use anyway.

@CeaseFaith rapid cluck each keybind like teacher used to do in 8v8 ranked to always get the huttball and for faster gcd

Lol. I'm sure the clicking thing helped. But there's typically no reason to use stuff like that game isn't difficult

It's best to skip to the content applicable to yourself. Iirc, I did timestamp. Questions are more aimed at what people want to know. The basic guide is one thing, but everyone learns differently. Part of why coaching/teaching on a more direct level is so effective in comparison. Tackling how to make credits is a lot of what people already know, so nothing special if I were to decide to cover it. The obvious arch/scav and potential investigation or underworld trading, you can actively gather for both of the first two, the third is mission only. Sadly, the market is a bit slow for crafting atm because it's the same crafting system from the last expansion without any new materials. Then, the obvious tech frag grind and selling materials in general.

@@CeaseFaith I was trying to get credits for my augments. Though I am glad you mentioned new ones are coming out so I might hang on. 74 (purple) is up to 8 mil. I would like to be more comfortable with the class before I try pvp things. I did my first parse the other day and with shadow was only hitting like 18k dps. I am fatfingering a lot. So as I become more cognoscente of what I am doing in a pve environment. Much less the pvp. lol I have to rewatch your videos and pick up new things all the time is how I meant that. lol Thanks a ton!

@chris_hisss make sure you sell your isotopes, embers, rpm/oem or whatever materials you have laying around. Will help progress faster. Older mats still have some use too. Then converting Jawa junk to credits is possible so is cartel market certs

@@CeaseFaith Ok cool will do. Should I wait to sell until after patch when they will be higher demand? I have been trying to sell like 500 at a time to experiment what I have been gathering, but undercutting is vicious. Generally I plan to sell those on weekends they get bought up quick on sat morning. I haven't figured out yet what to get with the junk, will look into that. Thanks

@chris_hisss I'd wait it out and don't sell.via undercut. Someone will buy and need far more than what's available at cheaper prices.

swtor's gearing is miles better than ttw.

We started at 326, to 328, 332, then 336. Which was about year and a half ago now. All of these tiers aren't great and are lower stats than both previous expansions by a long mile.

@@forumpvp isnt the only way to get better gear get mods from pve? If i have to pve for pvp gear is where i draw the line.

@cypher0124 You don't have to, but typically, some open world or flash points would shorten the grind to under a day.

The original SWTOR PvP system at release was light years better and much like WoW. PVE raiders griped about having to do 2 grinds for gear to be able to PvP and the Devs caved and changed it, effectively forcing PvPers to raid for gear and making raid group gear 5x stronger overnight and the old PvP gear obsolete except for gear skins.

As of now, no. Quite buggy. They'd have to officially support it to change that. It worked before because 32 bit, now that it's 64 bit you don't even need it. Though in theory it could run better on some machines if they went through the effort of making it compatible but I'd say that'd be pointless as they're too busy remodeling and working on new directx

@@CeaseFaith thanks, my game has been freezing recently and i was wondering if it is cause of the vulkan files i was using for smoother fps.

The only thing worth using is dx9 files. I'd remove Vulkan asap.

@@CeaseFaith Ty very much! :)

Anything honestly lol. I have tons of ideas. They seemingly don't see it important enough to do. Even though some classes have almost no choice or very generic like overwhelming or 10percent crit / 10percent melee.

I love the high alacrity meme builds I did recently. Though I am certain most of the rest would be quite useless with the build, so that came to an early end. I do think I could revisit those but try to make them better with the augments. I do think some of the ways I play are semi off meta, though getting away with it more so comes down to lack of ability on the other side and wouldn't be too effective by the average player. Hatred, deception, lightning come to mind. Though it's kind of difficult due to lack of variety imo atm. I run somethings differently but they're still a leg up on actual off meta.

@CeaseFaith that's true build variety isn't super great rn. Idk how I missed those alacrity builds, I'll go watch!

Can upload to KZbin and send me the link on Discord. Doesn't need to be public. Unlisted is fine. I recommend Nvidia shadowplay with the highest resolution option it has with at least 80+ for a bit rate. Otherwise, quality will be rough. However, if that's not an option just message me on discord. It's not worth the massive performance tank just to show gameplay. Shadow play is very very low impact but I know not everyone uses Nvidia.

@CeaseFaith yeah I have nvidia rtx 3050. I should be able to record using shadowplay. I'll give it a try. Thanks.

@bryanvlogs1421 night and day survival wise. Scrapper has burst but struggles durability-wise. It's more of a small scale stalling playstyle while lethality can also do that but rot you at the same time. However you lack burst but gain a ton of durability

I'm glad to be of help. The game's been out a while, so finding less crowded spots takes a bit of digging. These two are actually still mostly the same & there's an iron route that goes into this silver one here too that I love that remains still. Haven't gotten around to play much to make any more routes, but they made some much needed changes for gathering that it's really only needed for trees or lower tier items now.

Want to say first artist is kazuii. When I get home ill listen and figure out.

Okay, so first song is Kazukii - Dawn music.kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKqvdIyardWto68 Second one is Kazukii - Relapse music.kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJaUamVsh66dY5o Third is Cahb - Secrets VIP music.kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXKWlIiwnciar80 One of my all time favorites since I found it over 10 years ago. Hidden gem, underappreciated.

@@CeaseFaiththanks brotha love the content

@kahodof2997 I run 19k mastery sometimes without high alacrity, going more crit because project (shock) crit rate with low critical is awful. While also losing only really alacrity. But critical dr overall is around 3300 for lightning and 3500 is about low as you can go without messing up stats too bad.

Check my optimization video

4v4 the games designed around for t/h Dps match's are mega unbalanced and was never a balancing focus. Heals are weaker than ever too so it'd be an awful meta for anything without 4v4. 8v8 would be cool if it copied wows blitz system even if it was only a temp mode at peak of year population like summer or winter. They should however copy how wows reward system is and make rated, just arena with both solo and group. I could make a dedicated video on how to make it virtually impossible to cheat without extreme dedication / effort

@@CeaseFaith that would be cool also have you played baldur gate 3 or heard of it? i would love to watch that video if your first time playing it

@NkenKenY I haven't played. More of a competitive player

kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2PHmaCsbZ1go9Ufeature=shared

Ty, I was running it with 7.2 alac. I will try next time with more.

@chadwick2058 should be my pinned tweet on twitter. Should be @cease_faith or on my yt banner.

It does, but it's not all equal. I do go over that. And yeah, I did not say that, lol. Internal and elemental will be the ones different which a lot of yellow dealers have access to which is why I said why I did. As it broadly covers it's use case.

@@CeaseFaith I can only think of discharge, force leech, deathbrand/deathfield and volatile substance that does internal direct hits. The reason I’m not taking dots into consideration it’s because most of them won’t be able to do a lot of dmg in a 10s window (with the exception of ultraviolet burst or plague master burst ofc)

For the most part every white damage dealer has some sort of armor penetration and if it didnt it would barely hurt classes with high armor. Which is basically what the topic was about and I used power yield as an example not use case. Its also what made power yield so good and explained why things like arsenal and carnage will mostly ignore it. While I do say yellow will hurt you a lot still I don't mean it does not work on it and I see how that can be misinterpreted. Things like madness with tempest of rho will do roughly half of its sustained uptime damage as internal which armor rating has nothing to do with. Pyro, lightning, so on have these elemental and internal damage types that bypass but also have generic kinetic that will be affected too. Typically it always jurts white damage dealers the most or those without access to internal / elemental or armor pen. For example fury is relegated to almost useless status when hitting into yield. Theres more but this is just off the top of my head. Thanks for mentioning good to have clarification. ​@Koppa_Cabana

@@CeaseFaith thanks for accurate answer

@@Koppa_Cabana I do get into defense chance immediately after. Which would be good to add here. Nearly all white damage dealers have no way to do internal or elemental damage with few exceptions like annihilation. Typically a general rule is armor pen or internal/elemental. It's rare to see one with both and if they do, surprise they do pretty well in PvP. So that sort of explains the differences and why yellow tends to pull ahead as it typically always has an elemental or internal damage source helping them not just purely kinetic, one thing to think of is playing elemental convection without using affliction, you can immediately see how ineffective your tank killing power becomes via cleave versus with it. When it comes to accuracy that's where yellow gets to sort of ignore all the rules and only misses during specific cooldowns or debuffs. While white damage has to constantly roll odds. It's hard to say one's better than the other and it's even harder to argue internal/elemental versus it as pyro is much more tame than before and rightfully so, it's difficult to mitigate against without raw defensive power damage reduction that includes internal/elemental. Think madnesses new passive dr which includes it, this makes madness even tankier than most people think, same with deceptions Dr talent, not surprisingly this makes deception far more playable against dots and excel like to used to against sorts. Tl;dr white damage gets cucked more often. Yellow damage dealers are meta for multiple reasons and damage reduction that includes internal elemental is honestly incredible, arguably broken compared to the dcds which do not. Same goes to things like Saber ward, deflection, only superb versus white but almost useless versus yellow.

Still 300s

@debadrichowdhury9936 Yeah, I have all but the last two expacs. I do enjoy it but not sure if I really want to get into it again. Funny enough it was the first game I ever streamed. Did necro / dnd ele and pure burst thief d/p back then.

336 from pvp is fine. You'll need 2 for blue & purple mission.

Not great, but they've made some improvements. I'm just hoping pvpers could be heard at some point. Group size being up to 8 is cannibalizing what's left of the population. The majority of the toxicity is coming from regstars who can't handle losing, so they always bring more and more.

90% of the skilled players left are pretty chill and even though they’re going around in pREmAdEs they’re willing to help newer players. It’s the 10% of deluded mongrels playing all day that have a need to control the queue because they have no power over their actual brain and/or life that are q sniping and starting drama for no reason other than “you beat me at a game fuck you.”
