It is a lost spell though…and by vetexs words going from rare → lost → ancient spells the complexity and how niche a spell is increases, so…
what would be the equivalent to a lost spell for weapons? legendary skill notes or something?
Exotic = lost equivalent
Legendary= ancient equivalent
I went on vacation for four days and what, why does everything seem to release when I’m not active???
Wow Blood disease + Grease + Savant is going to be stupid…
Most builds get 3 (Main style + Gel + Blood Infusion);
Paladins / Warriors get 4: (Spirit /or → Magic + Gel + Blood Infusion) — (Weapon status + Grease + blood + Gel);
Weapon builds outside of warrior get 5 (Mg/FS/SP imbue + Weapon + Grease + Blood + Gel)
And by god when we get 2nd Awakening savant… Spirit + Magic + Fstyle + Weapon status + Grease + Blood + Gel for the ultimate 7 status applicator, these times are tough.
keep pushing the boulder sisyphus
Summary
the data loading functions are probably the culprit but i genuinely have no idea as to how you would optimize those functions more. trying to do it on a different thread is a good try but the server still has to do that work
Welcome back sword of morock’s fire
ok now when are we getting some strength content
All these new spells bring me immense joy
Wym? Half the stuff Magic gets is only fun on paper whereas everything that Strength gets except Axe-Slash is actually engaging to use.
That’s not how it works. Galaga and moochezz get to choose what they do first so they probably decided it was more fun to make the spells.
Galaga would never want to make techniques anyways bc he is a mage supremacist.
I don’t know man, most of the current strength scrolls just feel hit or miss for me and I have a hunch I’ll feel the same for anything new
Which ones? Uppercut is fun when it fully works so it only really sucks due to its inconsistency. It worked well on my Boxing file so I found it extremely fun.
Selino is fun but the fun is one-sided.
Blitz is actually interesting.
And nobody has gotten to use Jab yet but Jab is unironically goated and helps solve the issue of fighting styles being unusable in PvE.
Axe-Slash is mid bc it’s just blast on a 5s cd with knockback.
Mainly just uppercut and blitz are the ones I’m not fond of, though that might just because I have very little use for them
Also can we please rework axe-slash that move is not worth a move slot
I do wish Axe-Slash had any useful settings at all like a speed slider or smth. Making it slow in exchange for giving it Primal Swipe tier damage could be nice.
I was hoping it would’ve been closer to carina’s cleaving move but then again strength does need at least some ranged options. Though giving it more modification options would be a good change
As much as I don’t wanna agree with most people here saying this broadly, I do feel like a majority of the rare/lost techniques we’re seeing are mostly crash based attacks and not that much else.
I kind of felt this way about magic’s rare spells at first too, being mostly blast based attacks, but we’ve gotten a lot of different ones now for them. I hope we start seeing this for strength builds too, but it’s probably harder since there’s not any old lists to go off of like with magic.
Hopefully it doesn’t end up as bad as magic’s “blast but it does X” dilemma. But I have to say jab is a really nice addition even if it is a crash variant
Like I said this has pretty much died down now with the newer magic skills. The only blast based one (at least from what I can remember recently) is barrage and that one is moreso meant to be an upgrade to the regular multi blast anyways
I mean you could argue that meteor is a blast variant but that is a decent stretch
