AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Traps / Energy: Part 3 The Building Yes, I actually did make one.
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Illusion / Empathy. I'm 99% certain this was a requested build. I don't have one. I haven't played one. It looks solid on paper though:
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Illusion / Empathy: Part 2. Because of course there's a part 2. In this case going over some Tertiary changes to optimize the build.
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Illusion / Time Manipulation: Mind The Control Time
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Illusion / Empathy: Part 3. Taking a step back and looking over more of the tertiary options and how those options can change/influence a build:
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Another near hour long lecture trying to explain why Speeding a Task Force gives the speedsters MORE rewards than Defeating-Every-Enemy. This is mostly a reaction lecture generated after a particularly painful task force that included comments about removing Fast Snipe because it lowered their damage.
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 That lecture was followed up with a caveating stream. Some of the top speedsters can take a long time to hone their craft, memorizing rooms, committing jump/run/flight paths to muscle memory, optimizing key strokes, to limiting command movements to maximize efficiency. You don't really have to do all that. This stream thus is about playing YOUR way. Something I really haven't done is shown the process of a leveling build, that is to say the powers and enhancements you'd select while PLAYING the game. Of course, a leveling build is the whole point of The Adventures of Rabbitanium and Pandamonium, so it hasn't gotten it's own break-out video. This stream also delves into some of the build design choices and why [Darkest Night] is such a desirable power on Tanks/Brutes:
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 To say I'm proud of my Stone Tank's R10 build is a bit of an understatement. I optimized the build to make non-granite play possible... and got a build that successfully duo'd a MoSTF run. So when a (newer) player had questions on a Stone tank with Stone Melee...
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Fire / Staff / Soul: I think this is the first video where you get to hear me break down the calculation errors with Staff Melee. To put it gently, when charting DPS ranges Staff Melee has slightly better AOE than Energy Melee (pre-buff), and one of (if not THE) worst single target ranges. The problem, at least in the math, is that the Damage Bonus / Proc Effects attributed to the Form Modes could be tripled and Staff still would have issues reaching even mid-range damage bands. Simply buffing the enforce Proc-Damage doesn't turn Staff From a Stinker into a Prime Cut, but it'd at least be a step in the right direction while figuring out how the formulas set it's damage values to Trash Can.
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Fire / Pain Pain / Fire Defender or Corruptor: YOU WILL FEEL THE BURN! If you're interested in just how screwed Corruptors are, this is one of the streams that will help you understand the performance gap between the two archetypes and why I spent a significant amount of time waxing poetical on yanking Corr's away from their less than symbiotic relationship with Defenders.
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Sonic / Kinetics Kinetics / Sonic Kind of a followup to the previous Defender/Corruptor build, but this looks at the Edge Case Scenario where a single attribute of Corruptors grants them a powerset that CAN deliver a higher return compared to an equivalent Defender of the same power choices.
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Dark / Dark Scrapper. Lots of these running around. Have Fun!
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 And I quote: Grave To the Ice To the Stone: Irradiate THIS! A serious of backports to get from point A to point B. Starting with a Gravity / Rad Emission, to an Ice / Rad Emission, to an Earth Control / Rad Emission... and then looking at Tertiary Power Changes:
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Grave To the Ice to The Stone: PART 2! Of course there's a part 2.
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Elec/Titan: If you've got one, and you're looking for a build, the best advice I can give is Recharge, Recharge, Recharge. The more often you get [Build Momentum] up the less you'll suffer from the troughs.
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Ice / Storm Corruptor: Not a whole lot to say here
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Ice / Rad / Primal controller to Sonic / Rad / Power Defender Jump the hoops:
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Ice / Rad / Primal Ice / Rad / Ice A closer look at those tertiary power changes:
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Sonic / Sonic Defender. Not a whole lot to add here. While Sonic Resonance isn't the worst powerset designed by Cryptic/Paragon, it's certainly one of the worst to try and optimize.
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Next stream picked back up on that Ice/Rad/Ice and Ice/Rad/Primal dual build, while taking the time to dunk on a terrible decision made by the developers here. It's nice if you're on a populated server with lots of people to team with, but a game shouldn't actively punish players who have real-life issues that make teaming for Task Force Runs a difficult proposition.
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Ice/Rad/Ice :: Ice/Rad/Primal Controller: PART 2! An ITF kicked off, so put this build into some RealPlay! Also: Teammates cause me to mute the mic cause I'm laughing my RUMP OFF!
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Something a little closer to my heart. Say hello Girls of Hangem High, this Existence is Shattered: Ninja Blade / SR / Experimentation / Weapon Stalker: Break The Game
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 For this one, I'm just being tacky. A Fire/WP SENTINEL in a +2/x8 707. This was a hard crash out, and the start of potential problems generated by looking at OBS's Twitch Integrations. I think this is the first time you'll hear me drop the Gab.TV and Rumble streaming targets.
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Fire/WP Sentinel: Take 2 This started out trying to track the calculation errors between PHD, MHRB, and in Game. Now, to be fair to MHRB, after this Stream I went through the process of nuking the install and installing a fresh version. Some of the builds that crashed before are now working:
AurianArchive Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Back To the Basics: The Adventures of Rabbitanium and Pandamonium The opening is probably confusing. I was trying to repeat a miss tell event, and it didn't come through that clearly. If you've got questions about using the Chat System, this should help you out:
