Cna u do rage please I recently came back and I suck at dps

[@jeanalvelo7571]

Ok I know I sound like a hater at times but let me offer solutions and im going to start with this video. For starters your range load out here: •You really on freezing breath most of your loadouts. There’s better options. Even if they seem off. Like my solution would be this. 1.Upheaval 2.Rumble Crush 3. Debris Field 4. RS 5. Entomb 6. (Not needed) So it would be Upheaval x2 into Debris Field then Upheaval x2 into rumble crush until Debris is off cool down. With Trans and Strat the dots will carry your dmg up and quislet stays busy. Im 376 and I was parcing the same as you. Now your Single target: • Its a good loadout but you have Upheaval in it and that’s a multi target move. If you’re doing pure single try pebble blast x2 or pebble blast and mesmerizing lasso. Lasso just for the single target dots it provides and the ok damage. Again more Card procs. Try those and lmk what you think

[@ObsidianChill]

When I get back I’ll parse them and show you how much less damage those options do. Freezing Breath is one of the best moves in the entire game for aoe and st, annoying as it is.

[@jeanalvelo7571]

@@ObsidianChill just remember that freezing breath can get lunged, that’s an ez lost of damage and you have to be in the animation for at least a full 2 seconds to get the most damage out of it so when you’re moving around lets say playing mechanics that damage is just a lost. Update i tried striking stones and it made it a lil better. I just added it right after rumble crush. So upheavals rumble and striking stones. Rinse and repeat. Put up debri field when off cooldown

[@ObsidianChill]

@@jeanalvelo7571 for sure freezing breath you wouldn’t be viable always in solos/duos etc but I’ll try your rotations and upload it here unlisted when I get back as comparison

[@jeanalvelo7571]

@@ObsidianChill i just hate using it. The damage is good its just not the most viable power to use. There’s better alternatives. I could understand for powers that have very lack luster ranged dps but I think earth can make due with the few powers it has. They are more practical to use in game and can dump some good damage in the process. I hate seeing the characters powers undermined by Iconics like heat vision and freezing breath

I would like to see you might pet load out for earth

[@ninocorleone75]

I searched and couldn’t find any earth pet build guide or any pet build guides by you in general. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@ObsidianChill]

haven't released one yet, pet dpsing was invented by the devs with artifact releases. Pet dpsing was terrible before source shart/quislet/grim/mercy were introduced. It is on the to do list but you have to have source shard/mercy/quislet at rank 200 or you won't be able to pet dps properly

[@itsagooddae]

I know I’m super late, but if you see this, why I’ve always clipped rumblecrush with unstoppable for an extra dot. Why don’t you do that one? Just wondering

[@praisesiheanacho7971]

Can you make a beginner guide to get to this level of knowledge and skill. I honestly don't even know a thing about what you're doing.

[@Wolf.Vision]

Hello there, nice vid. Off topic question: there is a way to make sorcery (Might) work without a pet loadout?

[@ObsidianChill]

Depends on your definition of work. It can, it’s all projectiles which can be troublesome in content but I’ll still have a sorc might video made like this series

I got a question for you Obsidian,you did a melee single target in 2021 with earth and I’m wondering if that one is stronger than the one you used here and is the arts the same or different from then?

that build was only melee so you could clip unstoppable for SC regen. Now you have groups were healers spam eog for regen.

[@g.w.p.n300]

This was great for me because I’ve been contemplating making an Earth DPS for some time. As someone who has spent their entire time on this game fire tanking I want the switch. Few questions though One, I’m still getting used to this games community and by extension all the nuisances with it. When you use terms like melee, do you mean regular punching? I kinda assume it’s using your weapon but wouldn’t that just be a precision build? Two: do you have any plans to cover the OP gears, how they function, where to get them and which ones are viable to use anymore?

[@ObsidianChill]

Melee is a term used for when you deal damage in a 5m radius to any npc or boss. Melee = close range. By OP gears do you mean the omnipotence gear that you can earn each episode? I have a video guide on every single OP gear drop but they don’t have special functions, just higher base stats

[@g.w.p.n300]

@@ObsidianChill yeah I meant the omnipotence gears. So is it recommended to use an OP gear piece that has a CR of 271 over a green regular gear piece they has a CR of 300?

[@ObsidianChill]

@@g.w.p.n300 you always want to take the cr of gear that is higher to raise your overall cr. There are some older OP gear from previous episodes that are outdated

[@nwo4L]

If anyone want a NORMAL load out for non elite people lol Debris field striking stones sandblast Crystal golem jackhammer til debris comes back and any super charge u want

[@ObsidianChill]

Why would you have sandblast on an aoe loadout? In addition, crystal will do less damage than robot sidekick if you aren’t using fortify golem because it doesn’t attack without power

[@maclynn]

In single, why krypto instead of Superman and in ranged why freezing breath instead of amplified heat vision?

[@wadebelknap7758]

Answer to question #1 - Krypto does more damage on a single target where as he can not hit more than one target, which is why you use superman on AoE. Answer to question #2 - Frost breath hits multiple targets and is used for a more general setup in ranged, while Amplified heat vision can hit multiple if your artifact is high enough level, frost breath is more effective.

[@rockjm9876543210]

I'm curious on why do you parse with the batman card when it can throw the parses off depending on what card you get.

[@ObsidianChill]

It’s the same RNG that I would have in content. If I took a soder buff and parsed that isn’t something realistic in content, not everyone will have a soder buff 100% of the time but you would still have the card procs in all content.

@@user-fp7to2hp3x Earth requires timing and experience because getting countered can mess up you getting your full gemstone shield. It's also harder to counter bosses and block because you have to periodically hit jack hammer to maintain aftershock. It's tricky but it's def doable. Don't even bother trying to brick tank in the higher rounds of sm until brick gets adjusted again😂
