I Tested the New Lost Ark Meta..

Description goes hard for dragon ball episode

[@nickh4354]

"With a recent proposal from Vegeta to abandon certain relic engravings for more affordable options as well as prioritizing armor honing, our hero Goku tests the statements alongside receiving help from Piccolo." DUNUN NUN NUN NUNUNU NUUUUU

@nickh4354 this writing is 🔥

[@alwar8563]

When progging defence is worth more than small damage increases. Incoming damage reduction chest, Ether predator relic (if cheap) and some armor hones probably makes it much easier to prog. Then as you're farming the content damage increases are going to be valued more. Most of the time is spent farming old content so therefore people value it much more in general.

[@thekenka7199]

100% Agree

[@1NabbinatoR]

thx for the content this video is gold 35:14

[@santosh3958]

I get the fact that endgame goal is going to be max possible damage but for casuals as LA said they are gonna make raids in such a way that more people clear it the easier it gets for the next people doing it. so being cost efficient feels the smart way of spending your gold.

[@soupicious_]

Ragehammer destroyer gang will pay any price for bigger numbers😤 17:12

[@aviladsm]

if you wanna actually get stronger than, Min/max your elixirs get set piece lvl 5 and atk power on them and get 1 mid line on your ancient accessories and yeah hone armor I guess, upgrade your gems and just learn the raid and your uptime

[@LuxuFoo]

Uptime!! My struggle. Lol

[@drekor884]

Stoopz basically nailed it on the head when he said just learn to play better. Regardless of doing grudge or whatever 1% min-max strategy you come up with anyone that has meter running can tell you there are people doing doing 25% of the damage of other people. 1% isn't even statistically significant in this equation. Your luck with boss patterns plays way more of a role.

[@AscendentGaming]

How is your eye of the storm doing 100k more dmg than mine, we have the same evolution and enlightenment points, all my armor pieces are 16 with advanced hone lvl 10, weapon is 16 with advanced hone 20 which is 1690. Your weapon being 21 advanced hone lvl 20 shouldn't increase it by 100k should it?🤔

[@MrBrotkante]

If you really want some tankyness, carve a 5/5 dmg reduction chest elixir. You lose a bit of weapon / atk / main stat for 10% permanent DR.

[@RunItsTheCat]

Tl;dw: the rule is +2 weapon over armor for max efficiency; don't just blindly hone your weapon and neglect armor hones.

[@trafalgarlaw1727]

This istg it tilts me lowkey when sometimes me with my GS ends up MVP , when there a 2 Breakers and 2 NE soul eater in my aegir raids, cause like why my simple class doing 30-33% of the dmg on Aegir, Im tryna be carried

[@meowcheeses9870]

Saunders be like "rent is due"

[@AnoBananoSRO]

The World of Warcraft reference is so true. 4% dmg buff/nerf? Lol

[@Kortiah]

Jokes on you, I hone my armour slots first anyway because I'm too poor for weapon

[@Dodeknet]

I barelly sold Grudge for 90k and even lost on it when bought from Raid auction for 95k...was selling it for 6 days...then prices started to goes up and up and up :D Thats me...I tought nobody will buy it cause its bs gold for dmg gain..but we see what happens...

[@syraster1359]

It's funny that Stoopzz is shocked that pushing weapon to 21 is more expensive than getting armors to 17. After 19 there is always a massive increase in cost which you should never go for if you don't have gold to spare.

[@rain3013]

The playerbase have been too hyper fixated on meta for years and now they know SG is just capitalizing on them LUL.

[@deyvi9995]

3% on a single skill ain't much.. 3% of your entire DPS is a lot. Specially when there aren't really that many other forms of dps increases for the people that are already buying books

[@combatsv]

accs give the most dmg out of everything right now.

[@shizuro4091]

Only for 1 character. Oh, wait, you just need it anyway only on your main for Brel HM if you run HM nodders

[@omg1876]

Tbh the best dmg increase is to get a good support in your static 😂😂 you could be omegajuiced with a mokoko support and lose cruel fighter to someone with -20ilvls who has a gigajuiced supp with hands. Supps are op as fuqqqq.

[@skrtiee]

same thing i was thinking, i play 6 gunslingers and i didnt know people were this obsessed with increasing their dr. coming from one of the squishiest classes in the game. good sup + some hands urself im never worried abt dying.

[@hyun2989]

people tapped weapons for the glows/flex, not because it ever made any financial sense

[@sancatheboss367]

"some people" meanwhile he's one of those people xddtime

[@drchocolatetv]

I wrote a comment on reddit saying a dps meter isn't needed for improvement if you just watch back your gameplay and focus on increasing your uptime. Reddit did not like this

[@Paekes1]

ya seeing my gameplay helps me more than seeing a log which shows me when i cast a skill without knowing the circumstance what happened in that scenario in a raid :D

[@VarietyCastle]

Well you were on Reddit, can't expect much else from that place

[@ghostytoasty5510]

Yeah thats my biggest problem with dps meter as well. It is completely void of context so looking at it doesn't give the best picture of what might be going wrong or if the boss was just being aids. The game is too complex and context dependent to really improve off looking at a meter alone, vod reviewing will always be much more effective. The meter is more useful for looking at broad trends, such as which classes do better on which fights over the course of a bunch of data points.

[@Pong670]

if u want gigadmg, literally spend ur gold and get ur supports the juice not even joking.otherwise its a shit load of gold for what.

[@LuxuFoo]

I just realized bros stronghold is lvl39... i started on ignite and my shits lvl33 already. 💀

[@ShiroganeKaiser]

Good god I quit for almost a year already and he's still 39 LMFAO. He really doesn't do stronghold. Well tbf he barely do real lost ark content now and just reacts lol.

[@LuxuFoo]

@ShiroganeKaiser still the same stronghold lvl a year later is CRAZYY work lol. Bro doesn't play the game. 😔

[@struktureisen4971]

How old is this wtf why are his amor stones 11g

[@dogLover12352]

0.95/5 0.19% per armor in tier 4

[@xBastitox]

Thing is, he is kinda right, you can buy cheaper engravings to boost your damage sooner, but ... those engravings won't be any useful in the future as you will replace them, so, what's better, throw away now 400k gold to buy a cheap relic getting from it a bit dmg or keep using grudge and improve your gems/armor (?). It depends on what you want, anyways, great video, every single day I see Stoopz talking about those things from a constructive point of view I like him more and more.

[@Fr3d607]

tankiness is a situational stat meanwhile u want to constantly deal dmg so taking dmg over tankiness is better

[@ProjectSheeno]

idk why stoopzz is even testing in trixion, it litterally says on the engraving how much more damage u get from leg to relic, or from grudge to cursed doll, they are all Dmg% Leg grudge is 18%, leg cursed is 14% that means u do 4% less dmg, without even needing to test. it's different if ure testing Atkpower engravings. Relic engravings typically give 3% more dmg, so u just have to ask yourself, is Relic worth 1m+ for 3% dmg. however there are alternatives, maybe a class could do better with precise dagger over grudge, Full relic Precise dagger is equivalent to 1 grudge book. so you'd swap 18% dmg for 21% crit, and you'd swap +20% incomming damage, for just -7% crit dmg. you'd be slightly weaker , but could tank much more, good for prog.

[@AsogiMK]

Grudge is dmg to boss, cursed is outgoing damage, those are different stats. However I agree that doing some punches in trixion isnt enough to do the math, when the difference in the value of those stats is so small. If we had a situation where everyone has like 50% outgoing damage and 0% dmg to boss, then the difference in value between those stats would be huge.

[@aviladsm]

dude stoopz. Tier 4 hasn’t been out for a year yet and you’re asking for more stuff? When we went to tier 3 lvl 10 gems were extremely expensive, and we didn’t even make a lot of gold back then so it made sense, we make a lot more gold now so that’s why these items are so expensive, why are we trying to rush things so fast?? It makes sense at the pace we’re going, people don’t have to finish tier 4 so quick man

[@ShadeNightz]

Thing is Kazeros is around the corner and they decided to launch T4 just before this. If they did Kaze at the end of T3, that would be more acceptable, but it's not. Soft Tier Reset before the game's "Final Boss" is quite literally insane. That is when everything is at it's peak. We definitely don't need a gold sink, we do need more supply. Lets not talk about the funny thing standing along side all of this with advanced honing not changing. You want your players to feel good when they get there. It'd be more acceptable if their were more raids and time between now and Kaze, but based on LOAON that doesn't seem to be the case. Or do we want the game to being Sadge at the big bad finale and then be a ghost town immediately after like Destiny 2 is right now. Allow us to gear up or change plans. To even hear that we have more expensive shit than KR is absolutely bonkers. Who even said T4 was finished? The Karma system is right there. People still have to work on gems and other characters period. The card meta is looking a little funny hearing about people in KR using Lightning Dmg set for Brel. Knowing them when they've released enough new cards their will be Card Collections for Damage against Ancients & Archdemons. Could be more Tiers for Advancing Honing, Elixirs, and Transcendence or just more brand new systems that hurt. Sounds absolutely disgusting, but bro what rush are you talking about?
