I think frifox has what he calls a “personal pugs gear lie detector”, I know how it works, but I shouldn’t reveal the details here.
I do know how it works, but it doesn’t let you check stats or anything. It’s just to calculate stuff like movement speed, range and dps based on what the client displays.
I was always under the impression you can’t catch other objects stats without attacking or receiving hits of them, I mean if it’s possible, why do we all bother with checking enemies stats the “old” way with getting hit or hitting them with a fixed amount of buffs? Wethospu would surely rage so much if there was/is such a tool, lol.
Alright, 1.000 gold to me if I can tell wether you use celestial or berserker armor, 1.000 gold to you if I can’t. EU or NA servers? I’m totally up for a run.
Edit: You’re sadly offline.
NA.
I will be online this evening – at work atm. Look me up I will always have fraps running so you know its legit.
Uhm, when is this evening, by the way? Because it’s 7:30pm here right now.
I’d like Arah. Probably the one with the least difference between gear sets, as in AC you can tell the difference of a lack of precision and critical damage really easy.
CoE could work too, but I absolutely hate that dungeon. Not even sure if my NA guardian got to Mount Maelstorm already.
Don’t be daft. There are tools available that tell me what gear, skills, and traits everyone in the party is using. Don’t need gear checks, just check the tool and you have all the info you need.
Edit* Send your bets to Dankies in game and I will keep a tally of who bet on who. I’ll offer 3:1 odds on Azrell and 2:1 odds for hendo.
My bad. Didn’t know there were tools that used this. What time? I wanna place some gold on colsey.
Also, I notice a total lack of silence by him now.
Go figure….
Can’t I even go for little boys without being called inactive? :<
And yeah, you should record when you changed gear too. You need to replace the scholar runes on your berserker set with traveller runes (or 1 traveller rune with another one) by the way, else I could just judge on your movement speed.
There is an easy solution to get rid of “stacking trivialized content” posts.
Buff spider queen’s melee attack damage by 1000 times. I’d have no problem with that, but I’m sure even more “boss too hard, omg nerf pls” posts would come up than “omg stacking easy nerf pls” posts right now.
Maybe you can’t distinguish 17oz vs 18oz, but I can.
It’s not that I can’kittens just that I don’t bother to. In real life and in game. And in game who is to say if it is only 1oz that you made the decisive difference in a party of 5 people some of which are doing a lot more damage than you.
What the hell are you even arguing about then?
DWA IS a 8% dps increase, almost from first hit on.
I wouldn’t say your results are different than mine.
Wot.
I think I deserve an answer to the question I asked you. Unless you can provide a situation In game besides a time based attack on a golem that will show a 9% DPS increase I think everyone needs an honest answer of when this becomes a 9% DPS increase. Because if you don’t your video and your test is disingenuous.
Wait wait wait, this looks potentially hilarious. I want to parse this out.
Please explain to me exactly what you think damage per SECOND is based on if not time.
damage per second as you would say is based on damage. my argument is very simple pretend that a glass of water has 8oz and you pour 5oz from it. Your right in that it doesn’t change the fact that it was 8oz of water. where water represents damage. But saying you poured 8oz just because that is what you had to start with is pretty much the basis of this your argument.
Which is really pretty fake and I think anyone at this point with half a brain can figure that out and understand that that is totally illogical. Its a great way to try and argue and that anybody that doesn’t know any better I am sure they would fall for it.
And that was the purpose of this entire exercise. Wasn’t to prove that that glass had 8oz water in it. But to prove that under the conditions that were being asserted that 8oz water was not leaving the glass. So the claims that were being met were not only illogical but unrepeatable in real world.

coo man when you are able to face tank in a dungeon and land that many rotations to give you your theoretical DPS increase let us all know so we can proceed with the theory crafting. We both know that your DPS increase is not possible otherwise. Since we have ran the same tests.

Ok, instead of always assuming warlord is wrong, I tried to replicate some of his tests too. We are both really sure on the test being good, I think and I just got slightly other results than he did. Video evidence: http://youtu.be/-vg1YQu2KoI
Power PU, my rotation, pistol #4 + scepter #3, scepter #2, pistol #5 (swap) torch#5, Sword #3+3 Sword #2, torch #4 … Enemy is at 40% or less and desperate already ran blowup cd’s healed, screaming WTF?! , target you….
Blink, Decoy, repeat, dance.
You channel a confusion skill for three seconds and your opponent doesn’t just run at you and dumpster you?
What is it? For each dungeon? I know a few are probably similar or exactly the same comps, but what is THE fastest possible team assuming perfect rotations and synergy with no errors. I’m mainly curious about cof, ac, ta, and manor
If you are under the false impression that I am a brainwashed speed runner I challenge you to ask anyone I run with if that is what I am, or if I’m just that adorable Asura playing the flute at the way point while they /dance for 20 minutes. Also I challenge you to RP and RP walk through dungeons. Cause the game play is social. It’s not, “RARRRRGGHHH no skill no stack no skip do it my way or I’ll grief you to the high heavens!”
Its: “Hey colesy, want to join me while I teach a new player the ropes in AC? We can giggle and make jokes in TS.”
Its: “Hey sexy players let’s take level 2’s into fractals and complete it and take screens because it’s fun.”
Its: “let’s make some gold so I can change my characters armor once a week like I want to.”
Its: “Hey let’s create a community where we learn and play together, without judging other people for how they like to play.”
Because that’s what I’ve found. That’s what makes this game great. Again. The gameplay is up to you. Make your own Darn fun. Stop trying to ruin others.
Do I need to upload every single screenshot I have of grateful pugs I have carried through Arah just to hammer in the point that there is actually challenge in this game?
There are some examples that obviously don’t count, where they bug the boss, like ive seen a player bug the spider queen in AC so she doesn’t move or attack
keep saying that all dungeons are about is stacking. you simply confirm our suspicions that you’re just another one of the skillless and vocal group of people who have never crawled out of AC/SE/insert easy faceroll farm dungeon here.
Ive done every dungeon in the game and done it with easy simple because of stacking lol. First off, there is no “hard” dungeon in this game because you can stack your way through it.

I didn’t honestly think the skill ceiling for PvE was that high. Is there an empirical way to measure PvE skill besides dungeon clear times?
Not to knock Obal or anything, I just don’t feel that the PvE content in this game is as difficult as it could have been. I’ve seen him play, and he’s certainly talented.
I’m pretty sure the fact that people can solo dungeons quicker than five man groups demonstrates that there’s a big enough skill ceiling.
6/4/0/4/0 seems a good build, IF I use at least 2 (?) mantras. But what Skills am I using?
You slot in whichever utilities are relevant. If there’s nothing you just load up on mantras for damage modifiers.
Then I’ve got a last utility slot wich normally is signet of inspiration since I’m playing rarely in organized groups and got runes of strength + battle sigil for might share.
The only thing you’re going to be generating might off is a sigil of battle, you’re better off just taking a mantra for a damage modifier – the miniscule amount of might isn’t going to make much of a difference to the pugs’ DPS, you’re just compromising your own.
So the last option would be the mantra heal but I would definitly deal more damage with the signet so I’m stuck with only ONE mantra in my utility bar. That’s why I tought about 5/4/0/5/0 for +15% phant damage instead of mantra damage.
Then you lose compounding power. If you want to drop empowering mantras, I’d say 10/20/0/x/10 should be your base and then just stick in relevant traits from there.
I’ve also played 2/4/0/4/4 but the +3-9% dmg from the illusion trait is less worth than the power missed from dominion, aswell the cdr on illusion attacks could be outdamaged with inspiration 5 and power from dominon. The only reason to go for inspiration seems to be the summoning CDR.
IIRC it’s fights which begin to reach 60s+ which is where phantasmal haste becomes relevant – so if you’re in bursty situations don’t even bother with it – that opens you up 5 points you can move around to another trait line.
So you think it’s the best to switch between 6/4/0/4/0 and 5/4/0/5/0? Also, what are you traiting in dominon 4? I normally use the signet but all other traits seem to be totally bad there Vulnerbility or boon rippng on shatter for some F3 opening?
The traits are pretty junk, signet mastery seems to be the only decent choice really.
I did an AC with some people a couple days ago and we had no ele – on Kholer like three people got pulled in and thrown in the trash can and then last two of us alive had to finish off the last bit of HP (I got downed like right at the end from poison and then rallied).
Stacking hasn’t ruined player skill levels at all, the only thing you could argue is doing that is fiery greatsword since it literally lets you do so much damage to bypass mechanics. I mean why learn the tells for bosses when you can just spam 4, 3 and 5 in corners and watch a boss melt.
