To all the toxic people who flamed me for saying that I was 100% sure that there is gear based matchmaking
Nothing to add here.

Nothing to add here.
I hope that atleast this year they will stop lying about not having DDA/Scripting!
I think the FC Pro Finals proved it more than enough xD
I don't like this Vejrgang guy at all, he's max toxic but even he didn't deserve to lose like that!
My heartrate was around 200 at the end, what a finish! Still shaking haha
What do I mean with "Forced?"
Both very very clear in the video:
I was just FORCED to fight him untill one of us f***** up or we both die to gyldenmist. He just gets infinite attempts to kill me, no matter how bad he is, he would most likely kill me in the end because he brought 40+ pots to abuse the infinite reset meta and I didn't.
Disclaimer: Not my best fight, many mistakes, if you think I need to git gud, check my last post about me having to git gud xD Also first match of the day so bit rusty :D
More things before people get toxic again for no reason: I already used my 3 keys and 2 shadow dust in a fight with another Shadowstrix... Trying to chase him down by closing doors but he just opened them again with his own keys xD
Hammer skills DO NOT GAIN DISTANCE ADVANTAGE. Only short burst of movement speed then a long attack animation. Tested this by running next to a friend. I never got any distance advantage on him. At 3:40 my E jump wasnt enough to catch him in time, let alone a slow hammer skill. The whirling dash skill merc gets also only give like 0.5 meter distance advantage and is not worth mentioning as it's not even close to enough.
Just fought the rank #3 black arrow... 8 times... he just knockback granade + freeze and run away to heal and reset untill he finally killed me ( still 30 out of 50 pots left in inventory )
Any tips because I really have no clue what to do... Mercenary btw
Today: 5 games, unable to hit any parries with 60ms, npcs teleporting:
Yesterday: 5ms
and
Fight duration = 14 minutes
Fought him about 20 times in those 14 minutes
Slapped him hard 19 of the 20 times, to about 10-20% hp while I had 70%+ left
EVERY SINGLE TIME HE JUST SHAPESHIFT TO OTHER SIDE OF MAP AND HEAL WITHOUT ANY POSSIBLE WAY TO CATCH UP TO HIM TO STOP THE HEALING
When he finally killed me on the 20th attempt I spectated him.
30 green pots left in inventory.
I am done, good luck.
First around 50 games in all blues with purple weapon. Kept fighting all blues, sometimes purples, sometimes greens.
After that I switched to full epic and legendary weapon, mostly fighting all purples and sometimes legendaries sometimes blues and almost never greens
Now I am running full legendary. LAST 10 GAMES TODAY WHOLE LOBBY IS FULL LEGENDARY.
Nobody can change my mind anymore.
EDIT: Switched back to epic because all those full legendary guys are top 100 sweatlords. Guess what? EVERYONE IN LOBBY IS FULL EPIC AS WELL!!!
EDIT2: Switched back to full legendary, seeing atleast 10 times more legendary geared people.
EDIT3: It might have to do with timezones/playercount. 1AM EU and I match pretty long and see people many tiers below mine, difference is huge.
All those hits and no staggers or damage ( 10ms, still can't hit this guy ) but I get absolutely CC'd the the max and then just die in 3 fireballs xD
I have legendary gear with Resilience Set and still 50% dmg from 2 fireball hits. MAX BROKEN
Last time I am bringing legendary gear till patch, I just end up running from every sorc and rev seer and still die to them because they always catch up
Probably best player I've fought so far. One parry was all I needed after getting torn a new hole for over a minute!
I think this is the best footage I've seen so far showing how stupidly broken Sorceress is right now. 95% hp gone in a few casts with no counterplay because frozen or staggered. Just casting in my face because why not?
Enough Mistfall untill my palms are less sweaty and the adrenaline drops a bit xD
EDIT: Why no stagger from my first E cast?
Zenith in 66 battles? 90 points per game * 66 = NOT 12331
1.3 mil value with 365k extracted?! RMT?
Guy headshotted everything, instantly dodged everything and knew exactly where I was
AND ITS GONE
That Mercenary was the worst player I've met so far in 120+ hours
Also look at hit reg difference between the Mercenary and the Knight. The Mercenary must've had a very high ping.
I am a Knight main but I am going to enjoy this some more untill they nerf parry the 12th xD
He oneshot the Black Arrow I was fighting, in return I absolutely destroyed this 15000 Gyldenblod goop piñata after he was running for his life for 5 minutes.
Stardust sorceress camping the last exit with high ground. 60% hp gone in 2 hits.
Last time I am fighting a sorc untill the balance patch
EDIT:
Secondary expensive set gone to a BA dealing 40% bleeds
Everything thats wrong with the game in just 40 seconds!
Then...
4TH. PARTY.
It's the same Sorcerer I ran into earlier, the one who casually removed 30% of my HP with a single burn proc, so I just accepted my fate and left.
He overkilled me atleast 30% with a single hit. The burn only took my last 2% life.
10/10 gameplay. Looking forward to getting 5th-partied next match.
( Seriously though, Sorcs feel absurd right now. Freeze-when-hit + the insane ranged dps makes fighting them as a melee feel almost impossible. )
I made atleast 100 mistakes from the start, normally I am pretty good xD
I should've died atleast 6 times throughout the fight LOL
My 2 cents after playing all day like an addict
Bots always have random loot with them, mostly whites and greens but up to legendary
Bots often jump for some reason, even in combat
Bots dont stop pveing in time like players would
Bots mainly spam left mouse button but can use skills
Bots have like max 1 blue piece on. Only if they found one i guess?
Bots cant respawn after pve Death
Bots already have loot with them from the start. I looted one that fell to his death 20 seconds ingame and he had 10 items in his bag
Bots can be mixed with players in the same lobby
Bots often have names ending in 2 digits
Bots can be in chaos difficulty
Still unsure:
Can bots be in human parties? As filler after pressing start with 2 button?
Are there sorcerer, mercenary or ranger bots in solos? Only seen the other 3 classes i believe?
More chance to fight bots after you failed to extract previous game? I noticed that I fight only bots after 2 death streak. Not the first game to implement something like this.
Short video showcasing Beach + The Searing Exarch. Will record more if people want to see more.
What makes it my best build?: One handed Walking Sim with insane clear speed but what makes it special is that it ALSO has the single target dps of an S-Tier Boss killer
100K+ EHP
220%+ Movement speed
60M+ DPS single target
9M+ DPS while clearing with insane aoe and covarage

EDIT: Realised I am at 70%/75%/63% resists in the video HAHA will try to fix this

Great starter build but also great build to min-max! I recommend everyone to try this staff! The crabs are AWESOME!
PS: Check my old video for giggles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNySmU027bw
It's almost time and I still see no crab builds!
Important things:
* Crabs only hit the front monster of a pack, making skills like ethereal knives useless
* You can weapon swap to 6 link single target totems for bosses
* You can 6 link a self casting skill in your body armour. Like lightning conduit or cyclone cwc volatile dead, both have a huge synergy
* You can use crabs to apply shock so you can lightning conduit yourself, same goes for a few other skills that work in two parts.
Personally:
Arc + Lightning Conduit
Which Arc depends on the targeting of the buffed Arc of Surging. Storm burst or ice spear are my backup plan.
Leveling:
Freezing Pulse + holy flame totem into shockwave totems or self casting arc Edit: Wintertide brand with vortex and vaal cold snap?
