As a SH main, this is pretty accurate lol other points I wanna mention (buckle up) Entropy is more of a legacy build, it has too many problems (mana problems, meter management, C+J not reliably working, all while back attacking), which were somewhat bandage fixed with non pos PS. It also does less damage than non pos, even with both crit syn and entropy syn (DB/GL). Don't play entropy ps lol The engraving sucks, numbers either need to be higher to reflect the skills that its specifically directed towards, or it needs changed to all your skills (doesn't include your purple skills). Hoping T4 fixes this. I also would like to see PS have an identity of sorts, maybe like a Souleater form where your spenders are enhanced or the cd's are lowered significantly idk) Spinning weapon is weird. It pushes you forward and in order for the move to do any meaningful damage, the whole thing has to hit the boss. Your weakest spender by far. For bosses that are more normal sized or smaller, you actually have to step back and make sure you properly space the move, because if you're too close, the move will actually come out in front of the boss and not even hit them. Pretty much agree with everything Shanda talked about as far as dom set goes but also you can run out of awakenings if its a long fight. Ran out during HM echidna and your damage tanks like a brick when you don't have it up. You can do the double awakening shit before you go into the fight but that gets really annoying and I like using my awakening anyways to gain meter at the start of the fight so idk thats probably more of a personal preference. Touching on the class relying on crit, your bis 5x3 and 5x3+1 setup include KBW, which if you're running full swift, won't be efficient without a precise bracelet (22-23% from accessories +15% from adrenaline + 20% from spender tripods = 57% crit rate). This is just for your 3 spenders, not including piercing thorn (runs a CR tripod for +45% CR so its an efficient move) or your other moves whch pretty much don't do damage and are either utility skills or just used because there's nothing else to really run (looking at you Decimate). Hit Master still does less because it only applies to 4 of your moves and not all 8, and cursed doll is incredibly inefficient because it's additive with adrenaline and mass increase (you're full swift so its a bis engraving, even though you're not attack speed capped). It only becomes efficient once you get 35 Master set through elixirs which means you're running an inefficient engraving until 1600 or you have crit syn or have a precise line on your bracelet. No immunity. Game sucks. Your spacebar is on a 4-5 second cooldown though, and your get-up roll is on an 18 second cd. But yeah, kinda smoge. PS still outdamages DI. DI seems like its burst because it has 3 big number skills (leaping blow, blood massacre, awakening) but its still a sustain dps class and only really has one moment of burst throughout an encounter (where you use all 3 of those aforementioned moves during an atro window). Especially with T4 and the gem changes, unless DI mains just run an additional 9 LV10 dmg gems and if you are kudos to you for having them to begin with let alone saving them for a transformation class, but idk if that would even be enough even with the extra base AP from gems. tl;dr - ps probably ain't it, chief

My cam blew up during the recording so Shanda has to carry this one even more than usual. o7 Look to the timestamps if u find a question that interests you or watch the whole thing if you're a beast frfr.

That's not true about PS not being gatekept. When I was in the official discord looking to join echidna prog, and despite me being much further than them in my prog, and have the screenshots of me alive too, the person got back at me and told me their team voted against PS/SH. I took and save the screenshot out of disbelief. I have also been in another group, not playing, just watching screen share, and a Surge DB on voice chat is saying that SHs aren't a real class. I am not asking for much for PS, I just wish they give the class paralysis immune on Spinning Weapon and Grind Chain, and maybe Howl. If they're so against not giving PS paralysis immune, at least make the 2 main spenders have a fast start up like Cruel Cutter.

[@chriso6042]

Why does everyone always say crit syn is needed as a negative.. that's like every class except breaker.

[@baal8938]

I play entropy ps and my main is tai scrapper lol

[@aryanesco]

Don’t worry I didn’t understand when he said 3 years too😂😂 3:01

[@chriso6042]

Is mp efficiency change going to help PS?
