For the small price of hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars, you too can be the top DPS on a 12 year old MMO!

You won the internet man

[@HiHi-yk1mv]

Well that’s not necessarily true you need like 600 dollars or less to get 3-6 arts max depending on how you spend it more efficient to spend when stuff on sale.

[@Shadow497]

So art swap, max gear, 200 arts, a group that spams EOG, buff troll, oh and most importantly you'll need lots of money.

[@itz-dc-6244]

Don’t forget the Allys they play a huge part but the most important thing is consistency and not messing up that’s what sets the good apart from the best the top dps hardly ever mess up

@@itz-dc-6244that’s the part I just realized my ally’s are not maxed

[@Georqie]

DCUO is like Hiphop. It was great in the golden age when rappers had they own unique style and were good at it. Sort of like when DPS had they own preferred power and were actually good at it. Nowadays rappers all sound the same to stay relevant. Just like all DPS having the same power, same meta to stay relevant. Nas said it best… Hiphop is dead 🪦

[@brishawn8571]

Agreed but if you look at the forums on dcuo about powers etc, they will all tell you to check out obsidian chill videos rather than trying out what works for them. Everything he does, everyone follow it seems

[@icommando_k2860]

@@brishawn8571 You just put it in the best example of this sad situation only the OG ppl will feel it

[@brishawn8571]

@@icommando_k2860 Don’t get ne wrong, the info he provides is great but i never know why people try to follow him other than taking the easy route. He got people spending money and changing arts left and right and all of his loadouts contain two of the same iconic/ ss movement, sonic cry or shout & whirling dervish. If op wants to blame anybody, it’s obsidian for others trying to copy. What works for him, doesb’t eork for others

FACTS!

[@tonyphills6075]

Yes, i'm glad you said this because if I had of it would have been five hundred young guys on here cursing me out😂😂😂 That analogy made me feel better about how I feel about basically everything now the movies, shows, and music are Absolute trash. And it's not because of my age Even when I was young Irequired some type of substance for me to actually enjoy stuff. And now it's just a bunch of repetitive cheesy corny stuff we have as entertainment

[@zaayso]

A dead dps can’t dps 😅

[@drathmor1401]

I still say playing from inventory is the stupidest crap ever and they can keep their switching to them selves and it will warm my heart when they put a stop to it. you can already do great in this game and top the charts on 99% of runs just from being good without all that crap

[@LxcKyXero.]

I play this game for fun I guess I’m the only one left 😂

[@Geoforcee100]

before even watching all you need is $$$$$$$ and dont die and pick the right power tht is meta :D of course art swap !

[@TheBmills415]

Tbh. Any power can be too dps. Some powers best dmg out is melee some are better dmg at range so keep that in mind

[@Be.Blessed]

Remember when being a top DPS in this game was something to brag about? Remember when everyone wasn’t gadgets prec, munitions, electric prec, or Rage prec in comps? Pepperidge Farm remembers

[@Joker-ik1sp]

There always were op powers

[@Be.Blessed]

@@Joker-ik1sp and they were all eventually brought in-line with the others. Prec has been hilariously OVERPOWERED for years. Add on rage berserk and it becomes a joke.

[@Joker-ik1sp]

@@Be.Blessed that's the point every dd switched to what was most op at any given time and rage sux in comparison to gadget and elec

[@rodgers731]

@@Be.Blessed No, there hasn’t been a time since being a good dps took off where DC ever had balance in terms of power sets. It was always 1-3 powers doing way more than others, and furthermore it’s not 100% the power either. The other part of it is skill.

[@Be.Blessed]

@@rodgers731 and like I said, those powers were usually brought in line with the others but unlike prec and munitions, they’ve allowed them to outshine everything else for years. They wasted no time fixing Time Bomb. They couldn’t wait to slow down Celestials animations. “We want people to actually see how beautiful HL is so in order to maximize damage you’ll have to see the entire animation”.

[@DCUOsupplydrop]

I'm a great dps might, but for more than 1 year I've been focused on support roles. Basically I care about making feats, I play little and my server is Xbox, I have 586 sp and I want more, you spoke the truth in the video I have been watching your videos since when I started playing DCUO

[@Erased-_]

You’re playing on a dead server . Pack it up and go to Ps/PC

Really cant stand artifact swapping. So geared towards PC players. Additionally its just fucking stupid why am i as a dps clipping into my inventory????

[@dcfury6207]

Cool video though @obsidianchilldcuo

[@bufflexkickass556]

Do you remember the first Matrix movie when we saw all those people in the pods with the wires in the back of their heads yeah that's what I see here LOL

[@abyssmom2692]

Nice video. I had no idea that gadget prec was the best. I just happen to have a spidey character and really enjoy weapons. It's funny how videogames are literally meant to waste people's time and if you put enough focused time into it then what you said in the video is easily attained. Time wasted not being bored-grinding and practice. As that one proud librarian once said- patience is a virtue.

[@Fiendy]

This is why the devs won’t ever patch art swapping during content. Because they making lots of money from these suckers leveling up artifacts.

[@TheBmills415]

You can play broker and skip the dbl artifact xp. Buy all the nth you need for free with in game money

[@Fiendy]

@@TheBmills415 I don’t have that much game money I’m a free player I refuse to give this game any real money. Specially with those ps3 graphics 😂

[@TheBmills415]

@@Fiendy I only pay for membership but that doesn't mean I'm rich. Grind broker you can get the metal. Run alts on bounties and different mission you'll get rare drops. Tbh if you get your arts to 160 you're good

[@Fiendy]

@@TheBmills415 oh all my arts at 200 but I’m not swapping arts. I’m a casual might based player. I enjoy playing DC but I don’t take it too serious like some do.

[@ICY-HURR]

Used to be fun being top DPS years ago, only thing you needed was to allocate your SP correctly, time your rotations AND don’t die . Nothing else. I don’t even try anymore…

[@devin-ci4nv]

Literally

[@sonyavengeance]

That seems like a lot of work!! Holy 💩!

[@ajadams3297]

I been a top for 10 years just grind i only spent like a 100 on this game that was early on cause of the time between episodes you have plenty of time younger generation doesn't have patience

[@mikeock3166]

Don’t lie, you’re a bottom.

[@rodgers731]

You’re a top dps?

[@IconicSimulation]

Yeeeeah, Im hoping art swapping gets patched. Just my opinion tho. 🙃

[@notificationsturnedoff2126]

Me too, but i doubt it would because art swapping means pple gtta pay more money to upgrade more arts and that means they get more money.

[@brishawn8571]

And watch chill complain about that too0

[@notificationsturnedoff2126]

Straight up i hate art swapping, but they aint gonna patch it because they getting more money at the end of the day. Just that simple

[@omightylegend2521]

Basically the Elite PLUS dream team 😂😂😂

[@Sosa_D_Roger]

I just wanna kno why does tops DPS matter in this game? Isnt completing the mission the most important thing

[@user-fp7to2hp3x]

Egos

@@ZeeDahktah isn't this just scoreboard chasing... cus these type players kill the game

[@maxdickson2388]

Small D energy, bragging to teenagers and man-children living in basements, these are the goals of people doing this sad nonsense

[@FrazierHarcrow]

Most Humans like competition. In anything, work, hobby etc there will always be those who want to be the best, just as there will always be tho who are complacent and just want to get through the day/Event/raid. Ego is involved, but I wouldnt boil the concept down to something so minimal

[@LucianoLopesLima]

Dollars, dollars and dollars!

[@kare880]

Unrelated but does anyone know if a double artifact is coming anytime soon? Ive been waiting months to switch arts. Turned a healer char into a tank and got no arts

[@JustKing02]

I heard it’s coming out march idk for sure tho 😂

[@Imformless]

Holy parse

[@johangama8505]

Do a video loadout for rage prec dps

[@Niokka]

Best way to be top dps spend money get all the arts max and needed for dps boom top dps oh and high sp

[@drathmor1401]

still takes skill and knowing what to do and when to do it. you can spend all the money in the world and have everything and still get beat by a player that knows what they are doing

[@FrazierHarcrow]

You missed the point of the video. Sure you need those things, but they alone wont be enough.

[@plonsdo4073]

i quit this game like 2 years ago but still watch your videos lol

[@HierarchyDunn]

The inventory wheel need an update if this is play style is need to be a good dps cuz I can’t do that with controller

[@magusxxx]

The dirty little secret most people don't talk about when it comes to top DPS. At least one person below mentioned, "So what's the point?" The answer: League Statues. The top from each role proudly on display for all to see is enough to make some go the extra mile no matter the cost.

[@marianosantiniello2213]

There isn't a point. This guy has been making videos since Jesus walked the earth and not once has he spoken on that. It's because he's guilty of scoreboard chasing and he plays the " top dps" game. A top dps means absolutely nothing. You can't dps when you're dead. Imagine if people put that same energy into being a top support role player, people would get through content way easier. I would argue that mentality is the sole thing that makes this game extremely difficult to queue at all.

[@bigantshow]

As long as the mission gets done, I don't care if I'm top DPS. Bottom line is that you can't do the mission or complete the feats ALONE ✌️

[@sammyflarez3119]

All of this is the reason why ques take forever, and failed pickups

[@johangama8505]

Do a special video explaining what he is doing idk i did not get evrrything is really fast

[@DarthReaper]

So gadgets can’t be out dps or dude would have used that power right?

[@xxPreys]

Every dps in the group is gadgets

[@user-fp7to2hp3x]

Gadgets prec is #1 prob until they shutdown the servers at this point cos they aint balancing shit

[@DarthReaper]

@@xxPreys yeah and I was a comp to see who could do more. Gadget’s obviously dues more I guesd

[@hank2948]

Man tbh, that I maybe can understand artifact swap on a troll, but doing all that in dps just to be competitive (which honestly who the hell is competitive in this game anymore) takes absolutely all the fun out of the experience.

[@scrolls9375]

I never tried dps

[@PeterParker-vq2cz]

since i only PUG, i often find myself top DPS....heavy lies the crown hehe

[@cds5102]

I remember when all it took to be a top dps was a decent amount of skill points and a lot of skill… now it’s just pay to win lmfao

[@seankelly5080]

Ok so to be top dps you either gotta switch to gadgets prec or speed hack. got it.

[@thedementor1650]

All these prec art swappers doing all this extra work just to get buried by me using rage/pets set up.

[@wspapi5463]

You not like that

[@chrisedwards5447]

He's speaking the truth. My name on the PS/PC Server is Killah Criss. I litterally switch between 4-5 artifacts to get maximum damage and some players wonder how I beat certain prec players as might.

[@DarthReaper]

Like switch in the middle of fights? With an armory or manual

[@chrisedwards5447]

@Yelsew No, I would litterally open my inventory pop in an artifact. Use it. Then open my inventory again, and switch it back

[@kerronsinkia6979]

I know you bro yuh a beast of a DPS *bows*

[@mikeock3166]

And your either ice elec gadgets or munitions….

[@chrisedwards5447]

@Mike Ock Actually I'm fire. I've been fire for 2 years. I only like tank powers

[@RixhNdangrous]

If your art is at 160 already how much do u think it is to get it to 200?

[@ObsidianChill]

its 1mil xp, buying it if you have no xp or cats is prob $70-80

[@RixhNdangrous]

Oh ok I’m putting my 160s into other 160 arts truna get them to 200 but I can’t wait and double xp taking way way to long they should use it way more for free to play players rather then it’s being pay to win

[@ThorntonWillie]

I will.put it like this if you was to use money to level a art with no double art experience from 1 to 200 it cost over 200 dollars per art which is so stupid in my opinion. I got 5 arts at 200 and 2 more almost to 200 but did it by grinding and waiting on double exp but it takes forever

I hope it was elite or plus . because us some weak dps taking that long on reg .

[@ObsidianChill]

it's elite. Typically a smooth run will be around the 8min mark or less but there was some waiting around in this one which is why the clip was split up and the longer time on the scorecard
