    Marketplace (aka the AH).

    edit- Though to be fair the generic low level ones tend not to sell for much and it is worth it to salvage, but for the level 30+ ones probably not so much.
    edit 2- Certainly don't salvage any level 40+ Soul Shields. Even the generic white ones sell for around 1 silver.

    Favorite thing about the destroyer is the pile driver, don't even care if its not my best move off grab.

    Yeah, Piledriver is, unfortunately, kind of useless 90% of the time.

    Man I'm loving pvp in this game. Destro is pretty damn fun, free styling combos and stuns, And I don't even have my good shit yet (only 30). I don't quite get the "spin to win" shade people seem to throw at the class, as I only spin for movement/random reflect chances.

    @Polaritie Teach me, Master.

    But seriously finding a guide for builds is like pulling my hair out. I'm basically set up for the frontal AoE for #2, to have the standard #4 have no cooldown etc. Otherwise I have no idea what I'm doing, though I've not had many issues in PvE. (A summoner took me out back and did bad things to me in a 1vs1 Arena match however. Mind this was before I had my SHORYUKEN and the resulting get-fucked air combo.

    Shoryuken is pretty big, since it combos off of lots of defense options and into grabs.

    Also, it's fucking shoryuken.

    I'm not using a guide, I've literally just been looking at the skills I use a lot and adding any self-healing I can. The one key thing is turning Swift Strike into Tiger Strike, because then it primes Hellfire Kick on hit, which is free and crazy damaging.

    3RF. Learn it and love it.

    I forget the exact names of skills at this point, but you can skill 3 to be usable on someone who is stunned I believe, and F becomes a follow up and does high damage in one of its skill paths. R is an alternate input for left mouse. Its an animation cancel.

    If you can do that, you destroy anyone who is stunned, then it is just a matter of keeping them stunned.

    You get really fast at it and you can still fit in a launch too.

    I should not be given access to a character creator. Because it always ends with me making some sort of abomination.

    I'mm assuming there are guilds and such, so which is the PA one?

    Are there damage meters in this game for pve? I hear people talking about who does more damage and whatnot but I'm not sure how they would even know.

    Also, any tips on how to look up korean vids on youtube, for Destro specifically?

  • Kai_SanKai_San Commonly known as Klineshrike! Registered User regular
    No damage meters, basically people find out their damage by how long it takes too kill a thing. Like if you solo a boss or something. It becomes especially obvious in tower of mushin, with the speed kills and all.

    Finally got onto Poharan, I play a Force Master named Pei Xawei. Added myself to the Google doc and Discord, but I don't know how to contact Kai.

    Edit: About how long is the queue wait time if you have Premium? Might get a month for the moment since FE Fates is out about when it'd expire if it's vastly better than a four hour wait in peak times.

    For Poh by the time prime times getting going even premium members don't have their queue shift.

    Honestly if you're looking to buy premium I'd just wait a few weeks and then get in on the game unless you're playing a less populated server.

    But what about that other ability you can get which has a damage mod of fucking 40

    It is over time, but has no cast time (but also has a 1 minute CD).

    Those are some silly things they get access to at 50.

    Not to mention FM gets a full on counter option for their free spammable 1 skill.

    Since I hit 30 last night I am finally going to go back into the arena. Is there anyone who loves them pvps that would like to spar with me?

    According to bnstree the spirit bomb is [35] ice. The instant fire alternative is b]85[/b fire over 5 seconds.

    So far for PvP I have been really enjoying the 3v3 option.

    Definitely want to try and play around with both versions. That fire version looks so mean for 3v3:

    Yes hello tell me more.

  • Kai_SanKai_San Commonly known as Klineshrike! Registered User regular
    Well I was wrong about the damage number, its actually 80. But its a follow up to the skill you can turn phantom grip into (its like some black hole shit, a huge aoe slow on a long CD).

    The counter is the bottom of the first collumn of the 1 skill. The path that already gives it a projectile resist. The hongmoon skill at the bottom we cant get yet. It counters for 0.5 sec and on successful counter moves them away and you backstep away as well (basically huge amount of space).

    FM benefit heavily when the 50 patch hits.

    So seriously, anyone who is into PVP we should do some stuff tonight.

    So after messing with my build a bit, and being higher level, I've found Kung-Fu Master is actually really strong in PvP.

    I may have mentioned getting all my good KFM info from Shiro. They just uploaded a video finally from launch play. Completely destroying all the people without any experience.

    What they do to the summoner around the 8-9 minute mark is nothing short of painful.

    Asking here too: How do you reassign your... skill points? Them things you go into the K menu with. I did the auto-assign thing during the mission but wondered how to change that (and if there are any restrictions on doing so).

  • Kai_SanKai_San Commonly known as Klineshrike! Registered User regular
    Hit the circle arrow next to the total points in the upper right. You can choose from just that skill, or all.

    You can also just right click individual assignments and then hit the apply button at the bottom.

    Will check it out- thanks!

    Would you recommend a particular build for leveling/PvE?

    The character creator is stupid insane.

    You can create super tall or super short people by messing with the 'calf length' setting.

    I have made...probably the most ridiculous character of all. Da Xiao. Basically boobs McKinzy. Shortest options all around, biggest chest option, tiniest head.

    She looks ridiculous as hell. IT MAKES NO SENSE.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    I dunno what level you are now, but if you want something fairly universal for hard grinding, something like this.

    https://bnstree.com/KF?build=2000002110321112110822

    Basically I tried to give a good single target option and aoe. This is for really low level before you have options but that is why its a good base.

    Two into the left path of your 2 skill (I dunno names because the site uses different ones than the US translation). Makes it use only 2 focus and do more damage. This is basically your spamtastic skill. Practice animation canceling it with left mouse, between the two of them you should be able to push you really solid single target damage quickly. Eventually you will put a third point into that path so crits give all focus back, and thus when you crit you gain one focus (from the left mouse). If you still have some focus issues somehow, then you can put 3 points into the left most left mouse skill to get extra focus back on crit (and it gets a crit chance bonus until it crits, helping that occur more).

    Then that is your single target. In aoe situation I put 2 points into the F skill on counter (its called Iron Mountain on the site) so that you can use roundhouse kick after using it (which is the 4 skill that comes up after certain moves). That is a huge chunk of AOE damage. You simply need to counter something to do the F but in aoe situations, that should be easy. I also put points into the base 4 skill. This is also AOE and spammable, though with a 2 second cast time. When you get more points you put 1 more into that middle path, so it can be instant when you evade with Q or E, or just plain evade period.

    After all that, look into getting 3 points into Q/E so it continues to evade for 1 second after use. Makes it much easier to get full agility (which makes you evade all for 6 seconds). Makes those skills incredible. That will allow more use of that instant 4 skill as well.

    Some other ideas for points after that would be flying slam (the tab that jumps at people) 1 point just for the free move speed. Also putting 1 point into your backstep for a large movespeed boost that can even help you while getting around and out of sprint bar (or in combat)

    hope that helps.

    I actually ended up figuring out a nice build making use of the attacks I've mainly been using already. Just can't let go of the rightmost Tiger Palm.

  • Kai_SanKai_San Commonly known as Klineshrike! Registered User regular
    For the most part you should be changing what you use based on the situation. There is always a better way to specialize. I was just going with something generic to get through leveling.

    Like the right most skill there is great for survival as well. In large aoe situations you will refill your health like crazy, especially because damage seems to go up much faster than health while leveling.

    You want to see Da Xiao? Also, put those words into a chinese translator.

    She's level 12 on Gunma.

    You can meet up with her if you want. Somehow I found an outfit that is more revealing than just wearing nothing D:
