You say there to be four categories, but then you list five. Is this a typo or am I missing something?

IGN: jumperhand3 Category: Build Artwork: The home of Glenda the Vile, a witch whose power can enlarge any organic material. She originally intended to use her powers for good, but it started to corrupt her when she realized she could work with the deceased....

Because combos are harder, getting crits is very important in Surge PvP. I’ve heard some folks complain about the huge importance of crits in the tech discord. You can’t really win any 1v1 without being able to crit better than your opponent (unless you’re a god at strafing I guess). While certain great weapons don’t do more crit damage than others, it’s still best to crit with every attack. I think a good solution would be to add in a good way to punish a player going in with a crit and making a mistake, a sort of counter play against it of sorts. In normal 1.9 PvP more people carry low-ish cooldown swords so they can easily exploit a failed crit, but the Surge weapon cap makes people less inclined to carry the lower cooldowns weapons you could use to exploit a failed crit before your opponent prepares another one. I guess you can kinda counter it with a half-timed swing just for the KB, but a lot of the time inexperienced PvPers are too focused on having good timing to try such a thing. Yeah I do agree with this. People who can time great weapon attacks, crit with them, and do decent strafing all at once are pretty untouchable in a 1v1, especially if you’re like me and have a cruddy mouse, low FPS, and high ping. Not only can they do the big burst damage, you can swing with the cooldown not at maximum to combo with the great weapon. You won’t get any special surge effects this way, but it still does good DPS and is great at doing combos still. Basically, great weapons are also good at non full timed attacks which IMO is an equally large reason that great weapons can feel so meta sometimes when used by the right people. Not only can you get shredded by burst damage, you can also get combo’d by ‘em too. Maybe a way to balance this is to increase the chance of great weapons applying surge PvP effects, but also reduce their damage slightly to compensate? This would make great weapons not as viable for combining as lower cooldown weapons if more of their utility comes from applying surge effects instead of through having all the damage it does, since surge effects only apply on full cooldown hits. IDK I haven’t done surge PvP in a bit since I’ve been busy building, I might be completely wrong and some of the newer changes to surge might’ve totally changed the overall experience. If you think I’m wrong just tell me, ok?

Will you keep on doing this for Almaris when it comes out? This looks pretty darned sweet. It’s a shame I’ve never stumbled across these places before.

Does anybody else remember Johannesburg being swarmed with a bunch of random chickens? Those little buggers seemed to be everywhere in the city, hiding in the random spots nobody had bothered to exterminate them from yet.

Next time I’ll use recording software that isn’t bandicam so there isn’t a big ol’ logo on the top.

I’m not very good at this

Real shame I didn’t take any shaders videos of the 8.0 halfling build before the build server ended... Anyways, this is a good build. I like the use of vertical space.

It’s absolutely not enough. Not only is there the issue of muffins still being an admin despite not being all that fit for the job, there’s the issue of Telanir assuming her responsibilities with the Community Team, as Telanir is well known for not understanding the community. Folks have a good reason to be mad at this.
