Besides Monte Carlo as it takes up an exotic slot, what are the best weapons to utilize the 4 piece CODA set for prismatic consecration Titan??
Right now, I have Perfect Paradox with one-two punch and pugilist as well as an arc auto rifle from Vesper’s Host. My heavy weapon takes up the exotic slot. Anyways, I’d like to hear your thoughts.
Edit: I forgot to add that this is for more of a solo endgame build.
Hello, I’m currently in the process of building a prismatic thundercrash build utilizing Cuirass of the Fallen Star. Here are the details so far:
Aspects: Knockout and Consecration
Melee: Frenzied blade (strand)
Grenade: Glacier grenade (stasis)
Fragments: Facet of Courage, Facet of Protection, Facet of Ruin, Facet of Justice
The idea I have in mind is to regenerate my super using consecration solar melee ability and alternate between my grenade and strand abilities to build transcendence. It’s a super heavy, elementalist build, so there’s a bit of roleplay aspect going on 😅
Right now, I’m torn between two sets: Luminopotent and CODA. The former grants ionic traces, which reduces cooldown, and I heard it is a good fit for thundercrash builds due to Arc element?? I’m also using an arc auto rifle to apply Jolt and help get me amplified. CODA, on the other hand reduces ability cooldowns whilst granting some damage resistance.
Which set do you think would pair well with what I’m going for?? Which set is more effective at reducing ability—specifically melee—cooldowns?
I’m also open to suggestions on other sets!
Thank you! 😊
Personally, I hope ZOS starts to focus more on grounded stories. Narratives that really flesh out the cultures, histories, and traditions of certain peoples and groups. I’m very interested in their way of life and philosophy. This for me, makes the world of Tamriel more vast and nuanced. That said, I don’t mind world-ending stories at all (loved Daedric War), I just feel they shouldn’t happen every year.
But what about you?? 🤔
EDIT: This is a suggestion I just thought about recently. If a world-ending story were to happen, I’d say it should occur every… 4-5 years. This I feel would better suit the narrative and world-building of Tamriel. Let’s also say one complete saga would be those 4-5 years.
Hypothetically, ZOS would spend the first 3-4 years developing zones with grounded stories that really add nuance and depth to the lore. Lore that establishes not only the religions, histories, cultures, politics, and traditions, but also the diverse characters, their relationship to them, and what they mean to those characters. All while a looming, world-ending threat encroaches, which is hinted at but doesn’t reach its climax until year 4 or 5. This allows more room for players to bond with characters and really get to know who they are and the societal structure that holds everything in place, or attempting to.
And when the final year happens for the saga, we as the player, will have a much better and holistic understanding of the impact this world-ending event would have. The characters that we journey with during those 3-4 years, the societies that we get to learn about, the various philosophical outlooks on life and beyond… all threatened by this climactic event. Each character and kingdom would have their own philosophical view on how this affects their histories and way of life. Which in turn, would highlight what the world means to them as individuals. Because saving the world is too broad, what does the “world” mean to certain characters??
Ultimately, the world-ending stories are such huge moments that I feel demands more respect; as such, I would love to experience not only the big event itself, but the significance and nuance of how it affects everyone, from kings and queens, to priests and non-believers, to a humble gardener who’s just trying to feed his family. How does this change an individual’s view on… well, anything?? And what does that say about that person/kingdom?
Holistically, how would the threat of “divine” order change or alter societal order on a micro (and thus macro) scale??
And I feel that can only be explored when you establish dense, grounded world-building, lore, and stories for the first few years and then have everything payoff in the final year, and that would be the end of a saga. Elder Scrolls universe still has tons of potential for expansion and I want to see it realized with depth and weight.
Anyways, I had to get that out lol, I’m just passionate about the Elder Scrolls universe. That said, if you have any suggestions, comment them below! 😃
If you were magically teleported into this party, what would you do?? Me personally, I would be on the upper floor having a conversation with Vanus Galerion and Divayth Fyr. What about you?? 😃
Unfortunately, I’m limited to 6 options so I decided to omit the most recent, Seasons of the Worm Cult.
But I’m curious: What’s your favorite major story arc in ESO thus far in terms of writing, storytelling and lore??
EDIT: I totally forgot to add West Weald for Secrets of Apocrypha! 🙄 That said, West Weald goes with the last option! 😃
