How will heist and the alert meter work with minion builds?
|
|
" It will rise slightly when you kill guards and minion builds will have a higher chance to get the attention of those guards, but most of the alert level will come from opening chests other than the final one. Using the skills of the rogues to open doors and whatnot will also raise the alert level. My understanding is that you can just kill your way through and maybe open 1-3 fewer chests in exchange. The facility starts its lockdown procedures either when the alert level reaches its maximum or when you pick up the final item, so if you're close to the final item anyway, you can just pick up the last few chests. Once the alert level reaches maximum, you have a timer to pick up the final item of the Heist and loot chests, after which they will be locked down. This is not the escape timer, though there will be guards streaming in. A good build will probably not have any issues with that. |

Not exactly gameplay, but how many total instances are opened per league, on average? A good approximation is sufficient, I don't need an exact answer.

Does increased effect of elemental ailments work on base ailments?
so does a 15% basechill from skitterbots or the stormrider cluster node become 20% chill when i have 33% increased effect of non-damaging ailments? |
|
"If by "base ailments" you mean fixed effects such as chilled ground, then yes, increased effect does scale them. However, Skitterbots are minions, so they don't benefit from your modifiers. |

Could someone please explain why no one is playing some tanky 2h build that gets hit a lot with 1 6-link CoC-Reckoning-Damage-Supportx3 and 1 6-link for any damage skill?
Probably can't get hit this much while not dieing without sacrificing crazy amount of DPS on that "4-linked-damage" thing? Zuletzt bearbeitet von rolfdafiftynine#7692 um 07.09.2020, 12:27:06

How does increased item rarity work?
If I had 7000 normal(70%), 2500 magic(25%), 450 rare(4,5%) and 50 unique(0,5%) items dropped at 0% increased rarity, how does 100% inc rarity affect that? What about 500%? |

" Well, for one, Reckoning can only be used with shields. Next, it only triggers when you block, so you need a lot of block investment for it to do anything. Then, it would need a lot of crit investment to actually trigger a spell with CoC. That spell would then have to actually deal significant damage to be worth it, so you would need to scale spell damage rather than attack damage (but maybe you are talking about tanky spell builds). Lastly, Reckoning has a base cooldown of 0.4 seconds. Riposte and Vengeance, the counterattack skills that can actually be used with a two-handed weapon, have even longer cooldowns. In short, if you assume that you get hit a lot and take a lot of damage in the first place, just use Cast when Damage Taken. And if you build enough recovery to take this much damage and use CwDT for damage setups rather than just utility, you might as well go all-in on a pure CwDT build. |
