Are you fucking for real? lmao

FIVE LUNAR COINS

>>16504830

I've actually really been trying to get into the original, but it's raping my ass. I just can't seem to deal with the fact you can't shoot and move at the same time. Also the keybinds are just kinda fucky on both keyboard and controller. Any tips?

>>16510606

I approve this message. There is never enough Artificer. no futashit pls

Anyone want to postulate what Skills 2.0 means? There's a file in game for EngiBeamTurret separate from EngiTurret.

>>16510616

Hoard a lot of drones and kite enemies with them.

And BAM. You are practically unstoppable and are pretty much are going to beat ror1 almost regardless of character.

>>16504631

>>16510616

>needs to cheat in RoR2

>doesn't play RoR1 because it's too hard and no cheats

>posts anime traps

why are turn of the millennium kids so dumb and homosexual

>>16510728

I'm not that other faggot.

really all I want them to add are the relics and more survivors. I'm waiting on june with baited breath

>>16510827

woops, the faggotry made me see red and I didn't check IDs

Huntress can move and shoot, very babby friendly. Drone spam is such a crutch that you'll probably stop buying more than a couple when you git gud to preserve the challenge. Engi is another noob-friendly pick.

Once you've gotten late game with them a couple of times you should do fine with harder characters. HAN-D, sniper and merc are quite fun.

>>16504841

Still waiting on an MLGPRO compilation of Merc set to Rules of Nature.

More Huntress butt please

Has anyone got any use out of Effigy of Grief? This thing just looks useless as fuck.

>>16510802

Bandit is okay. His 'R' is booty ass though.

>>16510887

I just really want them to finish the game.

We gotta buckle up for a slow ride because its gonna take us all a year to get there.

>>16527334

It's hard to use effectively since it also affects you, making it worthless on merc since I think it also lowers damage done

it's june

when's patch

>>16527334

Effigy of Grief reduces armor by 20, giving roughly 16% damage amp. If there's a shortage of equipment in your run (very common when playing with 4 players) then it's worth picking up and tossing at a boss at the very least.

The only unfortunate thing is that the majority of the bosses don't sit still close to the ground, so it wont have any effect.

You also don't want to throw it at the Clay Dunestrider either, because the -50% speed it applies also applies to attack speed. And you wouldn't want his succ that gives him 200 armor to last twice as long, do you?

I haven't run into a scenario where I've used it yet, as I mostly play Mercenary. I don't want to toss it at a boss I want to kill, and by the time multiple bosses spawn, I usually have a better equipment to replace it.

That said, I wouldn't deem it the worst equipment. Crowdfunder firmly holds that title. Effigy of Grief falls into the "situationally useful" category together with some other equipment like Milky Chrysalis.

Don't forget that you can also grief your fellow teammates with it, which is one of the most valuable traits Lunar items have. The more teammates you kill, the more loot you can claim. I am honestly convinced that Glowing Meteorite exists solely for that purpose, since it does worthless damage to enemies.

>>16527862

>crowfunder is the worst

Surely you jest.

Crowfunder can proc items and for someone like Mercenary it can be incredibly useful, especially if you have something like the Ukulele or the Meat Hook and after the 4th stage money isn't even an issue anyway, meaning you basically have free attacks that proc all your items.

Crowfunder is basically an Engineer's turret you rent.

I want it to be done already with more characters

>>16548504

Perhaps after E3? I have a terrible feeling that Gearboxs influence may corrupt them heavily though, so if it even gets finished it will surprise me

The eternal wait for the update is suffering anons.

Worst bit is it'll probably come a while after E3 as so not to conflict with attention for games dropped right after E3 as devs are want to do nowadays.

So there's been an announcement that IGN will show off the new content later today.

I'll grab some screenshots and post em in thread I guess.

>>16558133

I remember a couple streamers who were in with the devs saying that they wanted to release it on july 8th, but I'm willing to bet that gearbox got involved and they had to push it back or something

>>16591363

>M1 fires 3 darts if you hit the 3rd one it heals you

>M2 fires a mortar costing health to use

>Shift fires a force cannons pushing enemies back, if flying enemies hit a wall they take damage

>R drops a seed that pulls in enemies towards it centre

In other news

>New starting map area is a construction site like area

>New elite enemy for the new area

>New boss to go with it

>Artificer got a hover passive

>On hit got recalculated so that big hits like Artificers M2 triggers on hit way more often, but R triggers a little less

>Hinted at Skills 2.0 to be new skillsets for each character

>No release date for the patch as of yet

>RoR2 Twitter says release date coming soon

>>16591363

Where is the stream showing it?

I demand sauce now you asshole.

>>16591482

The segment is already over, but if you wanna catch the vod later it was around 1:40:00-2:00:00 into the stream I think.

IGN's twitch channel, it was suffering sitting through IGN's corporate shilling.

>>16591482

https://www.please use archive.ism/videos/2019/06/12/risk-of-rain-2-new-survivor-gameplay-reveal-rex-ign-live-at-e3

>>16591505

I saw some gameplay for like 5 seconds.

I'd rather just wait until the new update comes out and then we can play it together anon.

>>16591549

Yeah I think that's for the best in retrospect. I'm just mad at having sat through IGN's bullshit now.

>>16591452

>just a release date

>which means its gonna take even longer

Fuck this shit man

>>16619548

Counter-intuitively, you just have to break line of sight. If you're behind cover, the vagrant's AoE won't hit you. It doesn't make sense visually, but it's how it works.

>>16619561

I've been playing around with several characters to try and see which one I like best, but I never thought to try any of their dodges since I've been unsure whether the AoE is like a big wave you can dodge through or a big 'if you're in this area at all, you're fucked' attack (like the Imp Overlord seems to do, unless I need glasses). I should try it, though.

>>16619576

I mean it makes sense to hide behind cover, but I'll admit I never thought to hide behind anything because the attack just makes me think you need to get out of the big circle, not behind something.

>>16619589

> I'll admit I never thought to hide behind anything because the attack just makes me think you need to get out of the big circle, not behind something.

Yeah, that's why it's so confusing. Plenty were in the same boat.

>>16619594

I wonder where you got the inspiration, but

good shit regardless, drawfag. Thanks!

>>16619236

>horizontal eyes

Waiting for updates on a game with a small dev team truly is suffering.

A FUCKING PLANT

I wanted to try this out but I had no one to it with and after playing RoR1 purely in solo I didn't want to go solo only again. What changed from RoR1 to 2, besides the obvious jump to 3d?

Topaz brooch is way too good. That one other item that requires one-beaconing the aurelionite is something I'll probably end up cheating in unless they made the fucker infinitely less of a pain in the ass to kill.

Also anyone has any idea how to unlock the new character?

>>16635367

Ironically enough, quite a lot. The game is very solo-friendly now and is generally a bit easier to get shit done in.

>>16635521

But is it fun in Solo? I didn't particularly enjoy playing Enforcer in solo.

>>16635533

Yeah, it's much more fun.

>>16504606

>next big patch will be completely new.

>1 character and 8 items, 1 of them dogshit so far.

>>16510632

Probably leveling up your skills like in ASSFAGGOTS

>>16635521

>>16635670

You get the new character by going to the back of your drop pod and interacting with it. It gives you an item in your equipment slot that does nothing on its own (except explode and insta-kill you when you take a lot of damage). You need to take this item to stage 4, the abyss or whatever it's called. There, you need to interact with the robot that spawns on the platform just below and to the side of the highest platform.

OOGA BOOGA WERE DA BANDIT @?

Sniper too.

whats the new boss? did a few cycles and didnt fight it only got some of the new temporary barrier items which seem pretty good

we back in business boys?

109775241059817411

Yuroppe host.

I didn't unlock any of the new shit.

>>16635877

pls respond

Okay, so, the plant.

>LMB

Kinda weird, the spread is odd but otherwise lifesteal and slow make it real neat. Also works well with procs.

>RMB

Good damage, really bad response and feel. It works, I guess.

>Shift

It makes it easy to launch shit off of a cliff and applies slowdown, but that's roughly all it does. Fills a slot, that's it.

>R

Really, really fucking good. It's a crowd control plus heal plus damage that has fuckall cooldown and pays back the 25% HP cost instantly. Synergizes well with RMB.

>speed

Garbage. But the sprint animation is neat, landshark mode plant robot, I like it.

tl;dr very slow, very survivable, needs crowds to accumulate before damage can be dished out effectively, works well with procs

Fuck gold altars though

All my runs with Rex have ended badly. I just don't feel he's very strong. His M2 does a lot and its cost could be negated with Trascendence but that just makes his lifesteal mechanic completely useless unles you've got an Aegis or an N'Kuhana's opinion

>>16638093

I actually am getting to like him. He's like a tanky sniper. He works really well with a hopoo feather, ukelele, and wisp. That way you just suck everyone in and dance around them while they're rooted.

>>16638093

Transcendence doesn't work with him. If anything it fucks up any builds.

>>16638093

really? he seems insanely good

>have 10 medkits

>m2

>gain health

>>16638093

REX needs items to complement his M2. When he does, he's very strong. When he doesn't, he's pretty shit.

I just had a run where I had 3 backup magazines and a ton of medkits / brooches. I could substitute my main attack with M2, as well as burst M2 on tankier targets.

Then I got to the new zone (stage 7), spammed M2 on a clay dunestrider, and got taken down by a chaingun nigga that spawned behind me.

>>16638044

I immediately thought of this fucker with the new addition to the roster

could be worse, it could be a blazing or malachite clay templar :^)

>>16635973

>It makes it easy to launch shit off of a cliff and applies slowdown, but that's roughly all it does. Fills a slot, that's it.

If you think that's all it can do, you haven't been experimenting enough with it. And I'm not talking about throwing shit into walls.

THE NEW SURVIVOR

IS A FUCKING LEAF

memes aside how you're supposed to build rex? this nigger lacks iframe abilities to survive and his speed sucks dick. are you supposed to facetank shit with your heals and defensive build?

>>16636052

DO NOT INSULT MY NEW MAIN

>>16638803

Really? I'd put him above artificer, he needs items to come online, but once he comes online he basically can't be stopped.

>>16638821

I like Artificer and was really hoping this update was going to give her something other than a fucking hover button. You're still a sitting duck against most bosses because there is no dodge ability and the ice wall can't block projectiles.

>>16638829

That engi nerf hit him pretty hard though, he's incredibly reliant on items more so than before now. The Merc buffs are fantastic though

>>16638831

Engineer needed a nerf because he basically played himself most of the time.

>The Merc buffs are fantastic though

I especially like that missing with Blinding Assault doesn't automatically use up the skill, it just lowers the number of uses by one. It's a welcome change considering how reliant the Merc is with that skill to deal with airborne enemies.

Now if only drones got better pathfinding and buffs to be worth the price, it would be really help some classe.s

>>16638833

Do Malachites need to hit you in order to block healing?

>>16638835

Yes. But they shit urchin mines all over the place which sit in the environment literally forever and do massive damage in addition to blocking healing.

Sticky Bombs got NERFED hard.

>>16638866

in addition to the fucking homing turrets they also make. I got a malchite mob boss that shredded my anus last gaem

>>16639254

Have you tried abusing Rex's infinite range?

Rex doesn't actually need to use his escape, just sprint away and bombard shit from a distance.

It's red.

The item is Aegis. It makes overheal generate barriers, up to 20% (+20% per stack) MaxHP.

>>16639759

between the rejuv rack and the knurl I think it's the Aegis, it's a red item.

That makes me feel like shit, by all logical accounts I should have had it by now. Then again I should have seen the boss items too, but they're still greyed out.

>>16639299

That's quite a lot easier said when you're getting swarmed by 40 niggers a second air dropping on your ass while you wait for the portal to charge. Trying to outrange things from outside the portal zone will slow progression to a crawl and the rain meter will quickly outpace you.

>>16639953

If you can get a hopoo feather he becomes real easy to kite with, so just run laps around enemies and then nail them down with you root, if things get too hairy just use your disperse and fly away.

Anyone up for a game? Gonna be playing for a few hours trying to finish my log: 109775241061531390

>>16640366

I can play around 6PM Est

>>16638803

>The range is poor, the knockback is mediocre

the knockback is pathetic and 95% of the time it fails to knock someone standing 5 meters away from a cliff, the 5% it glitches out and just makes the enemy do a team rocket blast away.

>>16638821

> You can use it to damage flying enemies

If you can even get them in range>but once he comes online he basically can't be stopped.

Splendid, that's literally every character in the game, except nobody else is so fucking trash that "getting items to come online" is so tedious and antifun.

>>16638752

Hope it was worth waiting 3 months while bandit is still not released, but the shield generator got a new model!

>>16638777

I'll still be on around then, I'm just running until someone joins and then I'll reset and pull them in.

>>16640366

I'm trying to join but it just goes to a black screen with no audio. The game isn't frozen. It's just like.. waiting.

>>16638829

Artificers main defense against bosses has always been taking cover and nuking the shit out of them before they can kill you. She's a glass cannon that can damage race as long as you know how to read tells and dodge.

Might have had something with the laggy host stuff. Turns out I forgot I had some torrents running. Whoops.

>>16641544

Dont think too much and be a good dog.

2030 would be more accurate

Only just unlocked Rex. It seems to be more of a dedicated support. Weaken reduces the enemy damage and increases their damage taken (reduce armor), which benefits everyone. the R immobilizes enemies, does it heal allies too?

>>16642537

But reverse image search gives nothing, what else am i suppose to do?

>>16642514

> It seems to be more of a dedicated support

>dedicated support

Yeah, when you abandon the game immediately so someone playing a survivor that isn't trash gets double items.

>>16643448

So final boss confirmed?

>>16643493

and the whole time I was joking it was gonna be his big tiddy sister.

Any lobbies?

does the pirated version still require a steam installation?

WHEN AND WHERE ARE ARTIFACTS POOPOO

Rex is fucking cool looking but absolutely BORING to play.

Nobody fucking cares about debuffing enemies Hopoo, it's boring, it's a boring mechanics, it gives me no feedback, it's the same reason the chronobauble is a boring item.

It would be better if Rex could poison the enemies or have an inherent on death effect like MUL-T had.

>>16644148

>Rex is fucking cool looking

if you have no sense of aesthetics, it looks like overdesigned cancer covered with a tumor and most of the items don't even show up on his model

>>16644148

>chronobauble is bad because it's boring

>not because it's the worst green in the game with an effect that does basically fuck all

>>16644209

they doubled it's effect, it's good now, t. poopoo games. :^(

2*0 is still 0

Room?

>>16644551

Rex for me feels like the only survivor that gets weaker as the game goes on not stronger

>>16644557

REX does scale a lot worse due to attack speed being worthless on him. All his abilities are instant cast, and his M1 just isn't worth using. Backup magazines only alleviate the issue, for a DPS increase you require Alien Heads.

Going for a piss and a cup of tea and then we start: 109775241063092877

Did they fixed artificer already? Love the character but It's shit on so many levels that it isn't fun.

>>16510606

It's literally haydee with a smaller ass a no tits.

>>16644633

AKA 2b

I feel like streaming this game so you fucks can understand how to play Rex, holy shit.

>>16644716

>>Merc is pretty much unkillable

I noticed this too. I think it's a new thing, as well, considering that I did extremely well with him in a run until I killed myself on purpose.

That said, an elder lemurian flamethrower to the face will kill anyone, I don't care how many teddy bears you've got.

>>16644716

>artificer sucks ass

<AOE, DOT, best burst damage

>huntress sucks ass

<minimal amount of spare mags makes you able to win game just by pressing m2 into crowds

>>16644722

Check the changelog. They added true i-frames to Blinding Assault and Eviscerate.

>>16644738

Her burst is great, but she scales really poorly without alien heads or something to reduce her CD

>>16644780

She scales fine with backup mags and bandoliers what are you on about? That shit's easy to get.

>>16644780

Backup mags and bandoliers?

Also more stackable DoT never hurts as well as on-damage-tick procs like the rockets, especially the rockets since your m1 sets shit on fire.

>>16644787

Her right click has to charge, your main damage once you get some items is either going to be on your flamethrower, or once you get shaped glass because why not, back on your right click. Backup mags are meh on her, because you're not really going to have an issue killing most shit that isn't a boss. They're good on her don't get me wrong, but her damage just always feels lacking with the same items compared to even commando once they get going.

>>16644810

You know charge speed scales with attackspeed right? and that even halfcharged or nocharge it still does a mountain of damage? Have you actually played artificer more than one loop before?

>>16644810

No, you don't need to charge the M2. At all. Click damage is more than enough plus charging delays the recharge start. Hell, you can spam it with enough backup mags.

Flamethrower on its own doesn't realistically need anything to be viable outside of crit glasses or a tri-tip dagger. Or really anything else that can stack on itself, both bands work really well and if you're lucky and got a behemoth or somehow get your hands on the overloading aspect you'll basically nuke everything.

You're just cooking it wrong.

>>16644829

No charge it does like 200% that's pretty abysmal

>>16644831

Except you're melee range at that point with no real get out of jail cards against freeze immune enemies. She's just not that good

>>16644838

Your damage is enough to kill nearly anything sans an elite golem with a single flamethrower if you have at least the most basic of items, you don't need a get out of jail free card.

>>16644848

No it isn't the hell are you on about, do you play on drizzle or some shit?

>>16644838

Try 400% which is about as much as REX's mortar only with about twice the radius AoE.

And flamethrower gets it's power from it's absurdly high proc rate for such a rapid fire attack. It's excessive on most things that aren't bosses.

>>16644851

Nigga are you?

>>16644858

Except Rex can at least spam that shit and it doesn't have that weird front loaded animation. I'd honestly put either him or artifcer as worst character. Commando is bad, but at least he has an escape rather than "pray I get damage items or play like an absolute pussy for 3 minutes trying to kill a single titan". I like artificer she's probably the person I have the most runs on, she's got a ton of flaws though. Merc with buffs though easily is the top over engineer with the new turret nerfs

>>16644859

>if you have items

Oh right did you know that with 10 shaped glass you can one shot anything that's not a boss with commando's left click!

>>16644871

Don't be a facetous piece of shit.

Within first 10 minutes you don't need anything at all whatsoever.

After that you probably have at least one tri-tip dagger or something akin to it, which solves your falloff instantly and gets even more ridiculous as you stack things on top.

The "items" in question are quite literally anything.

>>16644886

Except you know 50% of the items in the game. I've had some runs where I haven't gotten an actual on hit until stage 4, it was all first aid kits and chronobaubles.

>>16644892

I'm severely doubting that as a possiblity since both tri-tip and crit glasses are white rarity items. And tri-tip is exceedingly, annoyingly common.

Whether I want it or not I end up with at least one by 3rd.

Though if you're somehow picking levels clean and by 4th stage all you have still is utility and health you probably shouldn't have issues surviving anything or dealing damage anyway. Not with artificer.

>>16644915

All I'm saying is that anyone is good with items, the issue is that she needs certain items to even be good in her niche. Like huntress even if you don't get back up mags, she can at least still kite fairly well and her glaive still does alright damage. Engineer is in a far worse spot than he was though because of that turret nerf, but at least he can make do. Artificer is the only one who just feels shitty to play without items, her damage is alright, she doesn't have an escape, the wall does basically nothing against bosses which are where most of your difficulty even comes from especially in later loops once you get overloading worms and shit. Hovering helps a lot but it doesn't really address her core reliance on items, which is fine, it just means I will never say she's good, even if she is fun if you can actually get items

>>16644937

>core reliance on items

<whole point of the game is core reliance on items

<for every fucking character who happens to have a core flaw

The more you talk the more I realize you have no fucking clue what you're doing.

Especially once you're talking about overloading worms, which is a point where you can't get to on any character without having an absolute assload of good items to begin with.

If you can't figure out how to apply the absolutely excessive burst damage that artificer has - just say that and be done with it, don't paint the character shit because you don't know what the fuck you specifically are doing.

>>16644959

No flaw is quite as massive as artificers there drizzle lord.

>>16644892

Ever since the update, I've been getting ridiculous stacks of only a few items at a time, which was also a problem before the hotfix released a week or so after initial launch. It's like playing with a minor artifact that causes Sequencing on its own, and it's really obnoxious.

>>16644970

Artificer's only true downside is a lack of a damage diminishing ability which is, well, not a problem once you figure out that keeping everything dead is a much better damage diminisher.

And if you can't realize that damage then that's entirely your issue and yours only, not the character's.

Makes me think of those faggots that play warframe and complain that sorties are too hard unless they play something like an inaros that can't die.

>>16644977

yeah, I think they somehow messed with the RNG or something again. There's also the… bug (?) where blood shrines proc on hit effects, but I think that got patched out or I just am getting lucky.

>>16644995

>he plays warframe

oh that explains it, sorry did I not frame it in platinum farming or jerking off DE to not get banned enough for you?

Why the fuck won't Hopoo remove spread from Commando's M1? I get he's not supposed to be some pistol sniper but fuck if it isn't the biggest thing holding him back from at LEAST being useful. As it stands there is almost no reason to play as him once you've unlocked another character unless you're a masochist.

>>16645005

Hey, I know it's hard to accept, but once you realize frame everything you said as "retard who thinks warframe isn't a p2w disaster of a game" it all checks out.

Can't wait to wait 3 more months for maybe bandit, 6 items and a bad map,

>>16645043

>highest damage imaginable

>locked behind getting specific items

<she's great look, you only need 4 missiles, a ocular HUD, 10 lenses, an afterburner, 4 sacrificial daggers, 5 backup mags, and 2 harvester's scythes before stage 6!

Fucking combo deck mentality right there.

>>16645057

>locked behind items

<literally doesn't need anything besides a spare mag for convenience or maybe a tri-tip

>>16645043

Artificer has the same issue than the merc, you are overly reliant on items way more so than other classes, also if you don't get spare mags or syringes monsters will easily overrun you.

>>16645009

>not utilizing M2 and R weaving as spread resets

Damage falloff associated with range is a far more important thing to manage than spread anyway

Now that I'm thinking about it commando plays a lot like Ryze did when LoL first came out.

>>16645059

<two specific items to even make her decent

<out of a pool of 40+

>it's her flaw is that she's not even decent until you get these items!

>>16645065

Merc got a lot better about that with the buff, he's way less vulnerable now which gives him a ton of leeway with that

>>16645065

Merc is much more reliant on items to do damage since he's just a middle ground in terms of speed/alpha damage and has nothing attached to that.Thankfully he just kinda works well with everything due to being basically the wonderbread of the game so eventually you're just going to accumulate enough items to carry yourself.

>>16645073

"Convenience" and "maybe" don't mean "definitely deadass needs". Stop acting like a retard.

>>16645084

>without items

<two of the best damage items in the game

>>16645073

I usually don't mind certain characters being shit at first since they usually make up later but the biggest flaw with artificer is her lack of speed and how slow her balls are. She reminds me of acrid, shit early with an stupid reliance on certain items that made him unplayable if you couldn't get those items during the first few levels. I keep thinking how hoppo could give abilities upgrades in the bazar that changed how characters work completely. Like making the commandos burst to use both guns or making huntress rain apply dots and on-hits

>>16645084

Thanks for proving my point, though it seems he's too fucking retarded to admit it.

>>16645103

>relies on someone else to make his point and still fucks it up

>>16645106

>ATG

>Bad

>>16645084

The problem with Artificer is the scaling of the enemies, what you just did is rush the game and not let them scale. That is not proving your point.

I do believe that Artificer is right now in a much better state as before, the hover is doing wonders for her survival which she lacked. She's no longer trash but she's not top tier either.

>>16643493

my guess is that Transcendence is just a 4th wall break that has nothing to do with either of them.

…or it implies the existence of another party in this conflict, higher and deeper than either.

>>16645114

>The problem with Artificer is the scaling of the enemies, what you just did is rush the game and not let them scale. That is not proving your point.

ROR calculates difficulty based on time in a run, and stages completed. If you're not outscaling the enemies you're losing. Balancing rushing stages with looting and killing is the very gameloop that it's constructed around. It absolutely proves his point.

>>16645112

I never said it was bad retard but it's far from being the best.

>>16645114

I was trying to scale it as quickly as I could with near minimum items to show that you can progress even without them because your raw damage is high enough it doesn't matter. And it doesn't matter because your raw damage is still high enough that you can drop bosses faster than it takes the portal to charge even without support. The retard claimed without items you'd be running around like a bitch and taking an obnoxiously long time to drop basic bosses and I wanted to show how much of a giganigger he is for assuming everyone is as bad as he is.

Wheres my chef hoppo, how will I sear niggers while throwing 12 knifes in all directions 10 times at once if you don't release him

>>16645139

>sees an exaggeration

>takes it literally

I would make a joke about autism, but I think in this case you actually have it

Artificer doesn't even need any specific items except some movement speed and whatever generic damage items you find. Her damage output is more than high enough to kill most enemies before they have a chance to attack, so long as you're not a retard that just stands there and facetanks the few hits that do get through or against bosses. Just change her flamethrower to be usable while sprinting and/or have longer range or something and for ice wall to be changed into something you'd actually use bast stage 1.

>>16645148

Pretty much this, the issue isn't her damage but how she delivers it and how slow she is, her flamethrower does have a bit of a short range though

>>16645072

Damage falloff (and dodging attacks obviously) is all Commando should have to worry about imo. Adding spread into the equation makes him borderline useless past 50 feet, which is a death sentence past the second loop. At least give him a guaranteed damage at long range if you put the crosshair on target. Even 1 damage is better than 0 from an almost guaranteed miss on a normal-sized enemy, especially at mid-late game where proc on hit damage is the difference between being almost unkillable and dying less than a minute into the stage.

>>16645106

>>16645139

It is one of the best damage items though. Not only does it effectively increase your damage by 30% (10% chance to deal 300% damage, averaging to 30%), far more than most damage increasing items, but the missile itself also the only on-hit damaging effect other than the Ukulele that has a chance to proc even more on-hits, and in fact has a coefficient of 1, compared to the uke's 0.2. The Uke is generally a better item for on-hits because it hits multiple times, stacks better, and has a higher chance to go off, but you can't ignore that AtGs are still really, really good, especially in the early game.

BTW the reason Artificer is trash is not because she's item dependent (even though, to be frank, she is), it's because her M1 is on a fucking cooldown, and in a game where, with every other character, you'll be holding M1 for long periods of time to pump out lots of damage, her DPS is awful. She would be good in a different type of game where health bars are smaller or enemies are more defensive, but in the game we have now she's clearly the worst possible choice, especially considering that other than the hover, she has no mobility or utility to make up for this.

In a word, not only is she item dependent, but her skills make less use of the items she has than other characters can, with the obvious exception of the Crowbar. And even the Crowbar doesn't work properly for her because her M2's little zap ruins the crowbar damage for the explosion part.

>>16645158

>her DPS is awful

>kill literallly everything by using all your cooldowns

>a few seconds pass while things respawn

>suddenly everything is off cooldown

>oh no you might need to take cover behind a rock for a second or two

So she's shit because you can't hold down a button and kill everything instantly?

Anyone got a magnet link for the latest version?

>>16645158

Except the AtG Missile has to contend with the Ukulele, Will-o'-the-Wisp, Berzerker's Pauldron, and Kjaro's Band all on the same green tier. Attackspeed doesn't do as much for artificer as for other characters, but I'd still rate the uke, wisp, and kjaro's higher since they're all AoE, more consistent, or just straight better damage. And that leaves Runald's Band, Predatory Instincts, and the War Horn as the only other largely offensive oriented greens, some of which, circumstances depending, are about on par with the AtG so it's at best middle of the road for its tier.

>>16645232

>Attackspeed doesn't do as much for artificer as for other characters

It does once you get a few backup mags.

>evaluating runalds and kjaros seperately

Do you not know about the interaction between them?

>>16645196

There's a reason the character that locks on with her M1 is the most popular, after all.

>>16645240

Because she takes the least skill to play?

>>16645234

That interaction is extra bonus but I'm comparing apples to apples so yes I'm evaluating them separately.

>>16645240

Is she really the most popular? If you have a source I'd like to know.

Because the devs are lazy fucking faggots. Risk of Rain 2 is making them who knows how much more than they ever grossed with Risk of Rain 1 and they've practically got money flowing through their ears as well as praise from even the most cynical and contrarian places on the internet, and yet they can't be bothered to fucking up the pace of a game that should have been released finished.

This is going the exact way that Killing Floor 2 did so I'd almost expect cosmetic items to be added at some point except for the fact that items pretty much serve that same purpose

>>16648188

so apparently corpseblooms stacks reduce the max hp you can heal per second as well, so rip my Rex run

>>16655303

Yes indeed. It starts at 10% per second and reduces by 50% per stack. Or to put it bluntly it starts out shit and becomes so much worse that it kills you. The only way out is to switch to Transcendence, which is bad on Rex but you might not have another choice

>>16660915

You got a lot of D items that are good for many characters or specific characters that match the description of C ranked items… like a lot. A whole bunch.

>>16660915

Tier lists don't really fit the game well anyway as the usefulness of an item largely depends on how late into the game you are, which items you already have, which character you're playing, what kind of "build" you're trying to accomplish, whether you want to kill your friends with glass meteors, etc.

>>16660915

>>16661613

I actually managed to get the fuel arry to text but it didn't work, probably because I have it modded. This does nothing anyways since all it does is make you more dead if it explodes? What's the difference if you still die in both outcomes.

>>16661634

Cause before you could survive if you had enough healing/barrier taking 300% of your health in damage up from 100% is a bit of an impossibility.

Sorry I left without saying anything, but I gotta go.

>>16661861

No problem

>>16661682

If you hit 0 you instantly die though. So even if you heal 500% ever sec, in that one hit you go 0 you're insta dead.

>>16661927

Yeah but with shield generators and the new barrier items like brooch and aegis it's not hard to sit on 200% hp.

>>16661930

Oh, I see now. Doubt you can get that many items before stage 4 though unless it's a blessed run.

So, anyone had any interesting runs lately? just decided to take hellfire tincture with gesture of the drowned, needless to say i fucking died

>>16662260

Hellfire Tincture, Frost Relic, and a couple of Fuel Cells and Bandoliers on Merc was pretty fun. Activate the Tincture and spam Eviscerate while an ever-growing circle of death kills everything around you during your invincibility frames, causing more ammo pickups to drop so you can keep spamming invincibility.

Hellfire Tincture is one of the strongest use items early game (first loop). It has a 0 proc coefficient so once you have a decent selection of item procs it becomes useless, but by itself if you have a high base HP like Merc or MUL-T it can do a LOT of damage quickly. The big problem however is that it doesn't work with the two best Lunar items, Transcendence and GOTD.

>>16662514

>pauldron

By the time you can reliably kill multiple enemies at once, you don't need any more speed and probably aren't using attack speed based attacks at all. Also permanent bonuses are better anyway

>Cube

I guess you are trying to combo with Berserker's? You'd be better off with something that does actual damage anyway.

>Glass

Helps a bit very early, but then GREATLY increases your chances of dying suddenly later in the game. If you want a run to go long you should avoid glass at all costs.

>leeching seed in the same tier as war horn and catalyst

Leeching Seed is mostly shit, but Rex specifically needs all the healing he can get. Could put it in D tier instead.

>AP rounds rated higher than headstompers or sticky bombs

Sticky bombs got nerfed so hard they are absolutely worthless. The damage no longer goes up with stacks, only the activation chance. AP rounds are a little under 3x as powerful as sticky bombs now (at 15+15%), and sticky bombs are unlikely to explode before non-boss enemies are dead, so you can't even say they work on more targets.

>>16660915

>Predatory Instincts in D-tier

Eggs blaine

How the fuck do I Artificier?

>>16662580

2x Soldier's Syringe, a white item, is strictly better than Predatory Instincts (a green) even if you were able to keep the proc up 100% of the time. The fact that you need multiple other items (crit) in order to do that and even then you have to build up your proc stacks means that Predatory Instincts is pretty much trash. It's also worthless later in the game when you no longer rely on direct attacks anyway, so that creates a very narrow window between having enough crit to use it and no longer needing it where it does anything useful, and it's still not very much.

Also the graphic is extremely annoying late game, but I didn't factor that in.

>>16662713

I can accept sticky bomb going up to C. Warbanner is still something to avoid or feed to printers. It's nice in the rare case you manage to place one where you need it, which as the game progresses will get much rarer as you level up less frequently. But it's NEVER something you want to choose out of a multishop unless all the other choices are rusty keys and medkits.

Assuming you can find the box, and it's definitely not worth the time to search for it specifically. You know the adage "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"? A useful item right now is always worth more than the possibility of getting one later, especially when you are neither guaranteed to get a useful item, nor even find it at all.

Also, you really only have a few stages before the usefulness drops off significantly. I don't really care about getting an extra white on stage 5+, if the key hasn't payed off within the first 4 stages it's not going to.

lrn2 sprint n00b

no really sometimes you need to know when to backup and when to get in close for the kill. sprint is great for dodging, breaking line of sight, circle strafing, getting close to burn many targets with aoes. I would suggest rebinding sprint since I did a lot better since I did so

also leaving a chest for after the teleporter is okay just to get it started faster

>>16661682

doesn't it only trigger when you are already at half health anyways? you must be having a hell of a run to be able to heal 50% of your health in the short span that it takes for it to explode, and chances are you arnt going to be getting the slug or the shrooms to trigger if its that dangerous to take you down so low

How the fuck do I deal with golems as MUL-T, or REX for that matter, just got two golem hordes as a first boss in REX runs and they ended exactly the same way: not near cover because I just hit the teleporter, they all laser first and I'm too slow to dodge lasers from five different directions even while sprinting, get one-shot.

So the laser flashes right before they fire, it's somewhat subtle, so try looking out for that and hitting your utility ability to dodge the laser, or break line of sight.

Also Mul-T's right click can stun and so can his utility, so use those to stunlock the golems & stop them from firing

Cry "gearbox" all you want, nobody still has any idea just how much or how little they touched the game, but apparently it was just PR and paperwork so far. The game and it's IP as well as all development still belongs to Hoppoo fortunately.

Now, maybe if enough people buy this shit, maybe he'll go back and actually do that necromancer game he had a few gifs about.

I'm pretty sure I remember there being some difficulties with that so I doubt it unless you know something new, fag.

I mean it's been rumored by several streamers who are pretty close to hoppo that the update was originally set for the 7/8th but then gearbox said "we can get you an exclusive with IGN that'll massively boost visibility the week after E3" so the update got "pushed back" because marketing thought it'd be a better deal
