That's why I am playing a max block build. One second? I get four- or five-second freezes (potato laptop) from Perandus mobs, ground effects, bearers, Necromancers, whatever. But I live.

" Exact same issue as you! Toaster tends to freeze up every now and then, especially in big groups of enemies. I run reckoning+riposte+vengeance+LGOH and for added insurance, though if I happen to be next to a corrupting blood rare or corrupting bloodline pack when the freeze happens there can be RIP. You people only alch t9s and above? That's kinda crazy in my opinion. I alch t6s and up, and tend to get more maps than I can use. Only chisel T9 gorge and T10 plats, chisel everything T11 and above. Usually only chaos T11s and up with terrible IQ, otherwise no real point chaosing for pack size in my opinion unless you're desperate to sustain red maps. |

" That's not entirely correct. My leveling is based largely on T9 and T10. Some T11 and T12 and also some T8. But even I use Strand (T6), Mountain Ledge and Channel (T2) from time to time to avoid boredom. That, together with my occasional build changes, keep me entertained. I can not imagine ever using a single build and repeating ad infinitum the same 3 or 4 maps... Bethesda is known for having good ideas and terrible realization of them. GGG is a Bethesda subsidiary or what?

Had two deaths today while playing for a short while, 2 hours :/. One was classic noob - stood in the remains of the boss while the other boss was alive and well in a double boss, extra projectiles and damage springs map. The other was encountering loathe with a pack of blue righteous fire demons in a -max, vulnerability overgrown ruin map.
Both cases deadly for a max block anvil-aegis build. Both cases should have switched to my alt, an ST toon, in hindsight for the boss fights. Was feeling a tad too invincible prior I guess lol. Last edited by Quixote77#2013 on May 3, 2016, 7:14:48 PM

Just hit 50% to 95...getting there. Checking my stats I hit level 94 a week ago...so all in all I'm cruising along pretty well. That makes 14% gained today after just 2.5 hours of play...not bad at all. I might play a bit more later after dinner...although I'm kind of afraid to jinx it, lol. :D
I used to alt out chars and fight harder bosses with my Lv 94 Scion in hopes of getting high tier maps...but that is proving to be a huge time suck. So now I'm avoiding those bosses and just charging through blue maps like a madman...having 115% movement speed on constant uptime with crazy flask mods definitely helps. I had to break down and buy some alcs last night...but Zana is offering good stuff for sale to keep my map pool well stocked. We should all do a Dried Lake run one of these days...would be cool to see everyone's builds. Although I may be banned due to my crazy COC madness...it definitely likes to cause lags...even on my beefy computer. :-) |

" Not good idea. I'm now a Mjolner Discharger. Not good idea play together XD Bethesda is known for having good ideas and terrible realization of them. GGG is a Bethesda subsidiary or what?

" Yeah you gotta get that lvl8 Zana, she has the sweet brodeals. Also, maybe I'm projecting my latent noobness, but the springs boss does corpse explosion. I literally only realized this a few days ago. I recommend kiting her to an open area with no corpses if you want maximum safety. Exploding blue blobs are the devil's work, no help there other than to be careful. Honestly just treat every nemesis as a potential volatile blood and every bloodline as a potential bearer until you can read the mods, or they do something that shows you they're not.

" Oh shit...lol...yeah...that wouldn't be a good idea. For some reason when I use Arctic Breath in my COC setup it causes my machine to lag pretty bad in big fights/shrines...and it's a freakin powerhouse with high ram, CPU and SSD. Well how about this...I need to update my character build page (last update 1.3, ha) and wanted to record some vids. I'll post one of me doing some grinding...and if anyone else wants to do the same that would be fun to watch. :) Yeah the Springs boss used to wreck me bad with my other characters. Since I'm doing HoI plus Double COC Cold Spells (why does that sound like a rapper name?) most enemies get shattered on death so I rarely leave corpses for her to explode...but I still have to watch her close...she nailed me with one the other day which hurt pretty bad... Alright...I hit 55% to 95...that makes almost 20% in one day. Time to hit the hay. GL to everyone grinding away. :-D Last edited by SasoriOtoko#1218 on May 4, 2016, 2:00:56 AM

" @ Quixote77Sorry for your double-rip Double rips can be really tough - deep breath, coffee, put map in device. I'm at 41% after chaining plats yesterday. Gonna chain plats - gorges till hit 96, and shouldn't take too long if I don't rip. Turnip. Thanks for the heads up on the springs boss. |
