90% of the kills in that video were assisted, so I’d hardly call it a “one-shot” build. Seems mostly like him dumping on bad players in light armor running 5 con. Like when I brought my Corrupted Ward PvE bow build into an OPR on accident one time.
When I think of “one-shot builds”, I’m thinking of combo’s where the weapons synergize, like the LS->SB->Feral Rush->whatever perma stun. He was basically just hitting people with gravity well when it was bugged and triple proc’ing and throwing in a heavy attack or maelstrom to kill them. That’s not a realistic portrayal of combat now because that bug was patched. And because ISG doesn’t proc if you switch weapons, it doesn’t lend itself to any combos with other weapons. And you have people just walking out of grav well now.
Most of his kills were done with one weapon against other players. In the few 1v1s I saw, he was basically just going against bad players. Like the hammer user who kept trying to hit him with heavy attacks.
There’s nothing in that video that shows any sort of synergy between GA and Hatchet to make it a “one-shot build”.
Yes I know. I watch his videos all the time. He is very good. Just like this guy is very good. Any more excuses? GA is a great weapon. If you dont think so then maybe you should try something else and see if you can wipe them out consistently.
DeityVengy is at least a really good player. Probably top dex on El Dorado (for sure top 3), even before bow got the huge buff. The dude in that video is above average, but he didn’t show anything particularly impressive, and a lot of those kills were with Grav Well when it was bugged and triple-proc’ing.
All they have to do it make it so that the player that triggered the riposte is the only one that can’t CC the player with the rapier. If you are surrounded in a clump and you hit a riposte you should not be able to easily escape without taking heavy damage
That’s a single hit of Grav Well on one player. I left the time stamp in the screesnshot. The 4079 crit is a heavy attack that he landed before the GW explosion. So you can see the GW hit for 1702, 1702 and 2804. It won’t do that anymore. And honestly it’s so easy to get our of GW now, and you can iframe in it, that he probably wouldn’t have been able to hit that heavy attack, either.
GA is fine- it has it’s purposes. But for 1v1 or 3v3, it’s D-Tier. As a medium/heavy bruiser for most of the 2000 hours I’ve played in-game, I feel confident saying that. It’s mandatory for Wars, because it can do big damage in clumps, but it’s not going to kill most players by itself.
Yeah just like bow is mostly a stat padder 1v1 weapon (this is just one example.) Not every weapon does it all. I would love for bow to be valuable to large group stuff but it isnt because it doesnt offer any utility and barely any significant damage. A mage is way more valuable to wars then a bow. A mage is way more valuable to even OPR if people actually play to win then bow is.
Its just the way the game is man. Not one weapon can do it all. If you want to do it all then you need to be flexible in builds and not just rely on GA/WH (which I still think is just fine in just about any content except for maybe duels). Its one of the most well rounded combos out there.
Ok cool. I have old eyes and cant follow all the quick damage numbers. As I posted above there really arent any weapons that are good at everything. GA/WH are probably the most well rounded combos for just about everything though.
i guess, the old build i ran was shit for large scale(reap/charge/grav) but was useable for small scale. then they nerfed grav well and make it not proc when other weapons were out. it basically destroyed that play style as it didn’t have enough lock down. now there is just (reap or charge/mealstrom/grav) and with the change it made it rely on being with a team.
I guess mages are the class that can do it call FS/IG can do wars to 1v1
Honestly, I had to slow it down to prove it to myself. It’s just that I’ve been playing with GA so long that I know Grav Well + Heavy does NOT one-shot people, but he was doing it consistently, so there had to be something off. So first thing to check was the triple-proc Grav Well. Looks like some people in his comments section noted it as well.
just remove this wep from the game bro. this is a game that gives you iframes, and a weapon that gives you an evade skill, a deflect + invul skill + a skill that lets you GO THROUGH PEOPLE!!!
