How do you and other you tubers reach 18k health?

[@MAC97281]

Hey I got 2 mods that will have you doing around 3 to 400k every 5 seconds on a skill build I can only imagine what it would do on a gun build with the bullet skill

[@pamelus6479]

my question is how to sell or delete a gun with a lock and mod in it?! cause I have a bunch of blue guns with mods and lock can’t sell them or trash them I need help guys

u can put a mod on gear and put it in the stash then change character and disassemble it to unlock it on that other character. i dont think a lot of ppl realize this

Wow i appreciate the tip, I didn’t consider that

Dude Nick.... For the guys like me who is totally into the math and output of a build but just simply can’t delve in because of different obligations.... Thank you. The time you put into these things is extremely helpful to guys and gals like us. Have a like from me bud!

[@Neeebii]

This needed a like because I also feel that way

[@chefmauricio1]

You forgot killing spree.....S rank 100%, raises weapon damage by 25% for each kill for 20 secs, you can stack 3 times for a total of 75% weapon damage increase.

[@NickTew]

This video is only for gear mods. I'll make a separate one for weapon mods.

[@ddb1494]

Hey Nick, what's your opinion on "The cycle?" It seems like it should be a good mod for Techno from the description.

[@b00rn29]

I am also interested to this question, did a lot of tests with Techno but couldn't find out how it works (nothing changed at my tests), tried leech on weapons, turret regen - for sure I was hit at the tests so the regen was always active...

[@TheMocutMiester]

I use it with devastator and get 30% weapon damage from it because I also use anomaly in veins

[@ddb1494]

@@TheMocutMiester if it is topping out at 30%, then it would be better than a bunch mods. What are you seeing your damage top out at?

[@nicknewman2414]

On the weapon mods, I'm finding T3 stormwhip and some sort of aoe mod is helping me get through on CT with tactical assault

[@marcelgolsteijn6047]

Honestly i tried the t3 stormwhip but the lightning effect keeps killing the targets and since you need to make the kill shot to trigger vampiric mag it kinda screws with my pyro's build.

[@Michael-oq8tb]

Yeah I love storm whip 3 but it does mess with other mods

[@Nostalgicaly]

Shadow Comet-Life Link combo is NASTY

[@Steak51430]

The tier 2 minefield mod is huge for me. Every expedition when I check my damage stats it’s in second place every time behind twisted rounds. I’m on CT13 rn too.

[@jaklol1124]

Adrenaline has a rare bug where it doubles your cooldowns instead of halves them 11:05 also armor caps at 85% dmg reduction

Just so you know when something says deteriorates when it has stacks I don't think you lose the all the stacks..its just 1. I tested it with circle of power for my trickster ap build and it only lost 1 stack after the timer

[@NickTew]

You definitely don't lose the stacks, that's not what I meant. I meant you lose firepower as it deteriorates where as sharpeye doesn't.

[@monkeyjamzter]

[@machinainc5812]

Thanks for this. I was gonna take time to work out builds and do the math but you made that job super easy. I play Trick and Techno

I play the same. Life saver of a video here for me to work out what is useful between characters.

[@GregCimilluca]

Do you have or can you do a video on weapon / armor attributes? To date I haven't paid much attention to that area but know I will need to soon. Thank you.

[@gabetasse7232]

I tested the cooldown when below 30% on techno. It relies on you staying at below 30% so you’re only getting the gains in the small amounts of time you spend below 30.

ultimate damage link does incredible damage when you bring captains together for instance. It utterly melts elites when in a group

[@dillonsoucie1640]

(Pro tip) What you can do with mods if you have alts is put all the mods on trash armor an weapons. Then put in stash remove on your alts an dismantle this saves tons of time an helps alot with leveling. I'd like to add the mod storm whip rank 3 an rank 2 stack. Making good single target damage.

[@mrcydesign]

Hey guys does anyone know which one is the bigger dps increase for a blighted rounds build: embalmer's rage or killing spree?

[@chefmauricio1]

Depends on your weapon.....if your sniping then use embalmers rage, for a shotgun or assault rifle build id use killing spree.

[@JubeiSenpai]

Thanks for the tips Been struggling with CT9, I was to squishy These tips helped me big time 👍

[@billy_cross]

Call Nick I mean I know you’re an accomplished gamer and you have to be aware that any time you have reductions to damage or straight up buffs to damage it’s always better than say increasing armor fire power roaming 65% less damage coming in it’s got to be better than just increasing your armor I mean it’s literally negating 65 points of every 100 points of damage then your armor assuming the calculation goes that way hast to deal with the remaining damage

[@Tg4010]

I don’t know how true this but for me it but it works. I think the game reads your character to see which legendary you have already acquired and give you a different one if it reads you already have that weapon. So if you are after a specific tier 3 mod can keep all legendaries until the weapon with that particular mod drops in-order to prevent that same weapon from dropping again. Not proven but it’s what I’m noticing from me getting legendaries. I have not seen a duplicate drop if the legendary weapon is in my inventory.

[@willalou6067]

Rejuvenation is S tier for a Cyclone build. Cyclone skill leech constantly grants health for 25 secs if utilizing Edge of Time set.

[@nightshadeii9248]

Bro I can’t even get past ct8.

[@billy_cross]

I guess what I’m saying if it wouldn’t hurt to have a damage reduction mad and I’m at the bumps up your armor for survivability both so that you’re gonna always have the extra armor and they want to get into trouble you get a bunch of extra mom damage reduction happening for a few seconds

[@billy_cross]

Call babe close attention to emergency stance home it’ll go up bunches of times and Allison will just stick I mean I don’t really notice the valve long or whatever the icon that much but you can hear it when when you have a emergency stance you hear the bullets clanking against metal and it will go off multiple times Anna automation and sometimes it’ll stick and sometimes it doesn’t but after a while they ever fix it so that it never steaks it’s not worth running out for a four second reprieve there are better things to run

[@DB-oy7gd]

Agree on emergency stance ice trap is garbage unless you have a bunch of status power. Mitigation is good unless your fighting last boss in Pax or eye. Damage absorber is super reliable and doubles your base armor generally. I use pres shield damage absorber and emergency stance and never die.

you dismantle something and own the mod forever, obviously class specific armour t1 mods dont carry over but if you want a t3 mod from one char and put it on another char, just mod a random gear and stash it over to another char and dismantle. Idk why its not shared when you can just do this, more pointless extra hoops i have to go through when it can just be streamlined but hey, we gotta fix servers first...

[@BananaNationTV]

While playing with the golem effect it seems to stack with armor. So you have (incoming damage * (1 - armor dmg reduc) * (1 - golem damage reduc) = final damage... Formula might not be 100% accurate but the sequence seems like incoming -> armor -> new amount -> golem -> final amount

[@phildean6884]

Love the video. Did you do weapon mods video

[@ttvownalone3085]

I stream on twitch as a Pyromancer "OwnAlone". I have almost every mod unlocked. One mod that is absolutely god tier for Volcanic round builds is the ash damage T2 perk. It says it does 29k per crit but it seems to scale off of your critcal damage modifier and other +DMG% mods. I make sure to run a double gun which puts me at 800 RPM and i'm able to keep most mobs ashed at all times. With this, i am getting 90-120k ash mod additional damage per shot at 800 RPM. Unfortunately it makes me work a lot differently, because if a mob dies to ash damage or the MOD's from your weapons that cause additional damage, it doesn't count that kill towards gear that scales off of killing monsters. I.E. Killing spree and bloodlust. Unless the bullet kills the mob, the mod doesn't activate. This was easily testable for me when i started putting on mods that blow up the enemy on kill shots. More often then not it would not activate.

[@zero_grav_original]

Does anyone know what piece has the mod "Shatter"? Everything I find on it gives a description of what it does, but no information on the armor its on. Reads as if its basically a Frozen version of Tainted Blood which would be so OP stacked with Freezing Boost, Ice Breaker and Winter Blast. But where do you get it?

[@VULFEN2012]

I was doing the Math on the damage from enemies over the weekend. Enemies have a Flat 15% armour pierce from gun damage - Elite enemies have 30% - the way this works is they ignore that amount of your armour - so if you have 100k - an elite enemy works as though you have 70k and the damage reduction that would give, to hit the max on the damage reduction it takes 130k for the 85% reduction but since they ignore 30% you need to have 1.3 times 130k (169k) to get the most reduction against all enemies in the game. This is easy for a Devestator, my favourite mod to do this with is Rejuvination i get 130K from my armour and skills as normal, and that one mod provides the 30% extra that is needed while also giving a handy boost to Anomally power and firepower. The Golem affect is a 65% damage reduction after all others are calculated - example; if you have an 70% reduction the 65% is taken off the remaining 30% - meaning you would take 10.5% of normal damage.

[@bwucewee1502]

has anyone tested Perseverance Fist? the 300% dmg to melee after reaching 30% hp? there's no real cooldown written. Is it 300% melee dmg as long as you are under 300%? first melee attack? Would be nice to know. If there's this "bug" like with the Golem mod, this might be interesting since i got a devastator melee build :)

[@acceleratum]

regarding the golem mod, I noticed even when it triggers I still take damage and I have 67% reduction + golem should be above 100% but usually it only alows me to take 2 more hits below 30%.. (I assume theres some sort of cap on reduction which makes having several defensive mods kind of a waste of a slot) Also perseverance shield works really nice with technomancer if you have bigger regen threshold, it usually gives you enough time to regen your 75% health without having to shoot and hit something. With two of those mods I never die, usually I use golem +the flat constant armor one.

[@kingsterentertainment]

best defensive mod id say is golem rising t3 mod (killing shots grant you a protective golem effect for 3 secs on a 1 sec CD) only prob is its hard to make use of as it comes on a pump and u need to be using killing spree too

[@douglasduda9826]

So the tooltip says Increases weapon leech by 40%, that would mean +40% of whatever weapon leech you have, what if you have 0. OR is it actually granting 40% weapon leech? Which would add to whatever you have.

[@Vazik05]

lol for firepower builds, use bullet round skills, or they still don't work, anomaly builds, use generic damage t2-t3 mods, because they do more damage than your build.

[@UB6IB91314]

Hi Nick, love your videos and I subbed for more! Quick question hope you can help. Is it possible to get the Shape Eye mod as Trickster? Or I have to create a technomancer to get the legendary set helm? Thank you!

[@ac3sw1ld2]

Incoming nerfs to gear mods since PCF base balancing on youtube videos. . .also legendaries need either a 3rd mod slot or Legendary only mods

I think the weapon mod I'm most interested in seeing in action is the one that reduces a target's Resistance by 35% for X seconds. How does that mod help you and what build (Anomaly / Firepower) would benefit from that mod most. Thanks!

It's funny cause I look at his stats and on the surface(base stats) I'm stronger. However I cant complete ct 15 as yet. It's a working progress 3 or of my 5 armor pieces are at 49. Need to grind some more. He is right some of the mods bug out sometimes there are times that i dont apply bleed status for countless shots, and mitigation last forever sometimes it's the best.

[@kaze3282]

What about susceptibility for Pyromancers? I'm guessing you didn't mention it since it's a tier 3 mod and fairly difficult to obtain, but I'm wondering how this stacks up against some of the other firepower mods.

[@iBunjii]

I googled the sharp eye mod and it says it comes from borealis boots. That the only way? I only have trickster atm, can I actually get those in his loot pool given it’s made for techno? Or do I have to farm the boots on tencho and transfer?

[@Jubanen12]

Adrenaline isn't too amazing on its own but if you were to use that together with some other 30% hp mod then it might be pretty good... I have used it on my pyromancer (anomaly) and it seems to be pretty good.

[@TheComicalTragedy]

Wep mod recommend is shadow comet on heir of the desert or thunderbird. It melts. Then there's anomaly power for skill builds to up the firepower 30% of their anomaly power.

[@ClipperRoad]

How do you never have to reload !?

[@billy_cross]

Yeah emergency stance is great with the bugs out and stays on all the time and once it does it stays until you die or leave the game but it doesn’t always work and when it’s working normally that for second since I’m about to make it worth using

[@menacingstorm4101]

Hey just wondering if I have gear that only has one good stat which do you think is better to have bonus firepower or close range damage? The mods on the gear are the same either way just the stat that's different. For techno btw.

Something you may not be aware of if you have a mod on a character that you want on a different character you can out those mods on gear or guns put them in your stash and then dismantle them on the character you want them on and even if they are crafted you will still get them on that character.
