If you're using the alternate Phase Blink, I highly suggest trying out Purity with it. I know, procs are extremely important for DPS and Purity kinda ruins them, but if you go a more Bleed focused build and/or you get capped crit chance (since Purity won't matter for guaranteed effects like capped crit), then with Purity and Phase Blink you get a 0.5s cd on the blink, so you can blink almost indefinitely. Coupled with the fact that you don't lose height with Phase Blink means you can also juggle yourself in the air continuously between the blinks not losing height and you gaining height from the special ability.

Laser glave actually gives a bit of upward momentum. If you have attack speed and mags you notice it will start throwing you up in the air
@notveryartificial4486
Жыл бұрын
Nah, it happens for a bit different reason. It applies "zero gravity" to you for a casting animation duration, and so if you activate it on ground and press jump key, you'll "float" upwards a moderate distance
Wanna add with the tips, spamming glaive late game can be really risky in some scenarios because of how it forces you to effectively stay still for a second or so. Especially with lots of wisps and brass contraptions around, they can sometimes put you down or heavily damage you before you’ve thrown the glaive fully and are back to being mobile

I have different view on the flurry tho. Dps wise, flurry sucks in the early game. But you only need 3 glasses to par with Stafe. Also, if you calculate the proc chance per sec, Flurry is way better since your dps is heavily based on your proc chance, especially in the mid and late game. Unless you are doing a 10 min speed run or something, Flurry is always better than Strafe.

Thank you, I picked huntress as my first character to play, your guide helped me a lot.
hunter's mask is really good for huntress because each bolt fired in a crit flurry can increase the attack speed buff count, meaning crits equal more faster crits. (to specify each of the bolts of crit flurry counts as a individual crit meaning that every bolt increases your attack speed up to the granted buff amount.)
@baumpaladin
3 жыл бұрын
It really bothered me not seeing predatory instincs being mentioned for Flurry. If you were to have 5 instincts and fire 2 crits in a row, your fire rate would have already doubled. Of course you need to get the masks first, but a single crit can procc 3 predatory instincts in a single shot, excluding the first one that gives 3 stacks. Overall that is a fire rate increase of +60% per crit, which is extremly powerful for Flurry. With a such a high fire rate it also synergieses well with proccing items like bleed, stun or stickies... literally anything, eventhough Flurry has a 0.7 procc-coefficient.

Bro youtubers need to stop with asking ppl to sub bc ppl watching aren't subbed. What that statistic means is that the algorithm is pushing your content to new viewers. Asking these new ppl to sub before they even know if they like the content is a waste of time. If people like they'll subscribe.
For flurry, it's 3 arrows at .7 proc chance vs strafe's 2 at 1.0 proc chance. On average you're going to activate more effects from items with flurry, no? Wouldn't this alone make flurry a better choice since that means it scales better overall, especially if you can build up crit?

1:15 so what about mercenary
Captain can also charge his shot while running, you need to start charging before sprinting so you can spaz someone in the face with a fully charged shot.
I prefer flurry just because of the downtime between shots making it easier to maintain sprint and move where you want, cause you can look away from enemies after you shoot. Its so good for quality of life, that I don't really care about the dmg loss.

I don't like to play in default mode because you are very depends on items. But i found how to make this insanely hard even when u able to choose the items. There is a list of artifacts you need: Artifact of Command - (you can make your own builds), Artifact of Evolution (much harder in late game), Artifact of Frailty (you don't want to fall off a cliff), and the hardest one is - Artifact of Honor (all enemies will have MUCH more hp and damage, also some cool stuff like ignite you on hit, or freeze) This makes game much harder than default mode, and you wont depend on items you getting. Only pure skill. Good luck everyone who want try it, this is truly next difficult i called "Thunderstorm"
great vid, but one mistake. The healing of Harvesters is multiplied by proc coefficient, so only 3.5*6 hp per stack per crit for flurry. Still insane item for monsoon tho
11:12 - 11:20 “Sticky keys” I haven’t thought about sticky keys in a long time. I mean fair point, that would be annoying. But just make sure to turn it off. Takes only a few seconds.

Proc coefficient on abilities will add onto the % chance on items. Like len's maker glasses has a 10% chance, and commando has a proc coefficient of 1.0, so a 10% chance. It's why MUL-T's nailgun doesn't proc a lot since it has a lower proc chance of 0.6, so lens maker with 10% chance would because a 6% chance of proc. Hopefully it made a little bit of sense
