weaponwh.9810

so i had another pug group did this, i think maybe the 1 person get on final platform, wait a bit & was out of combat? a bug ?

so basically not worth it except 1st time

wow thx good to know. any good dps class for largo thats fairly easy?

between shortbow condi soulbeast vs dd? which is prefered? i read dhuum should have few power dps?

See how many steps there are and what is mentioned about those rotations/builds in the descriptions (not only on the top of the site, but also on the right side of the rotations). There are some that just mention "*prioritize x skills before y skills, always try using this skill before that OR that*" (afair, that's an example from rangers condi rotation) and that's your "rotation". If that's not a direct hint at rotation being easy to memorize simply by looking what's "off cd right now" then I don't know what is. You even mention that you can see how many steps there are in the rotation but still claim the site isn't that helpful with figuring out what's easier? Yes, it is, the player just needs to understand what they read. Seems pretty easy. > > > > @"Sobx.1758" said: > > > That's not what I've meant at all. But he's asking about rotations, so according to your point of view, the only correct answer here is: make your own build, test every rotation you can come up with and check what's optimal and easy. Sorry, but that would make no sense and neither does your "smart anti-sheep" answer. > > But that was exactly what _your_ answer was, because your 'suggestion" was just a different way of saying "find that out on your own".

But he's asking about the builds, I'm not going to do the legwork for him, especially when someone (linked site) already did that for all of us. Meanwhile "the sheep guy" answered with what? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. > If you think morokey's answer ("woah, using someone's build, sheep!") was the equivalent of me delivering a site with builds with literal list of their rotation then LOL, what are you even trying to argue here? :D > > > e: oh look, you even mention sb build with literally what is written on the site I've linked to. Snowcrows SO not helpful in regards of figuring out easy rotations! > Hilarious how you disprove your own claim in the very same post. i read plently snowcrow build, but i can't level up every class, then equip gear to try it out. it shows rotation, but without actually understand detail and ideas behind those rotation its hard to grasp the complexity. for example holosmith, it has alot rotation steps, when i look at rotation on youtube, its seem very hard, yet snowcrow says its easy/beginner friendly. also it doesn't mention why those rotation work. for example LB soulbeast require sync sick'em with its high dmg skill and twice as vicious, while snowcrow give the rotation, but it didn't explain idea behind it. but rotation seem easier than holo, yet snowcrow rated harder than holo. same with DD snowcrow says its harder than holo, yet i find it fairly easy. so for me trying out new class, then mess up the rotation, i'm not sure how to recover without understanding which skill supplement each other. hence i'm seeking farther detail from player who have these class. i'm very interest in holo, just not sure its really a beginner friendly class as indicated on snowcrow or not.

> @"Sobx.1758" said: > https://snowcrows.com/raids/ > > Click on classes, check their builds, read the rotations and pick something ;) i did but its doesn't say what skill need to sync what skills etc. for ex it said holosmith is easy, but apparently there is alot heat management etc, snowcrow doesn't mention it. the only one so far seem to be easiers is dd

also any build for shorbow soulbeast when i can't flank such as sabir? i notice i do more dmg when flank, but not every boss can be flanked.

between swor/pistol vs rifle, which one is easier, both do about similar dps i assume?

yea but dont i need infused both my ring to get 3 slot in order to get 150AR? which is why the infused 3 slot ring cost alot FR. cause the ring come with 1 slot, then attune is cheap, but attuned infused ring cost alot. my problem is i want multiple gear set, which mean several attuned infused ring, which i dont have enough FR for those. i guess whats the best way to get fractal relic other than doing daily.

At least on EU that meta is very active even at out of prime time hours. NA is mostly dead except on weekend night. but i was able to get some last night

back on this build, the kiter build is same as other deadeye build on snowcrow?

i just wish there are other ways to get the gem for divine items, now the meta is dead. i want save my raider shards for other items, 500+30g is bit steep for 2h, consider craft it cost about 39g.

for alac, does staff matters? i read snowcrow it has staff in its build, but notice none of the rotation use staff? i think its only for cc on staff 5? in that case i can just get any staff for it? does staff contribute to any dmg?

Most of the stuff i've read on the wiki just now seems to be account bound... So the only way to do it is to craft.
