Revealing the Secrets - LA

Even with 1 frost wall he was hitting for 4-5k life, which is easy to replicate in any duel.

just wait until 13x spectrum EA shows up and one shots every other build in meta

Rup bro I do have to say 1 shotting you from 2 screens away earlier was very liberating, but the whole reason I can is such bs lol

I think ea will be nerfed later because of pve/spectrums

im glad you have some catharsis by using my weapons against me as well.

but then again, you know me, i make fun of my build too and i dont seek ways to protect the way that LA works.

(ill separate why wall shots are useless to 4 parts)

casting time

putting a wall with spell echo which takes 2 spell casting time(with spell echo lets say 1.5) and shotting once means total 2.5 attack time. thats how much time one fw + la shot takes it to work and thats a very long time in this meta. wall shots are not the strongest part of LA and it may seem like they work good to you guys who has other builds as main, thats very understandable but in fact they dont. as i said, i dont even remember in high skill ranked game that i got a kill with a wall shot. the kills i got are mostly, direct initial hits or LA explosion hits when their travel is over.

casters

vs casters wall shots are impossible to use cause using cwdt + frost wall is a bad idea(procs tempest shield twice) and since they have whirling blades they get away from self cast walls easily. they chase very fast and they deal very lethal damage, there is no time to put walls and attack 90% of the time. rumi flask makes them impenetrable big time and you wouldnt like to hit them whilethey have 75% block chance with 4L GG tempest damage. you cant kill them with close LA shots, tempest + their spell might 1-2 shot you. if you try get tanky with giving up from BA traps and use leg kaoms they can simply swap to BV + use blind flasks and toy with you easily.

also they mostly one shot me too from 6k life so it's like whose gonna one shot faster and better fight.

utilities

cwdt flame dash just triggers before secondary damage happens, after i shot to wall it just makes me opponent fly next to me healthy and deadly like nothing happened, so it totally makes my efforts to get a nice one snhotting wall shot useless most of the time. also cwdt + deto mine + smoke mine counters secondary damage from walls big time and 75% block with rumi is most of the time impenetrable with walls or without walls, it doesnt matter. mostly because of these reasons, wall shots are not a good reliable aspect of my build.

pathfinders - fast builds

shin and lapiz' new build, i cant deal wall shots to those guys cause they either block or evade my attacks and they use blind flasks really well which when they pop up that totally outplays me. people with high movespeed (hi pathfinder) can walk around me and my freshly made frost walls. they can kite every shot until my micro control totally gets lost and at that point they get close easily enough to deal final lethal struck. walls have a limited time and these fast guys run around me until the walls i put are over and when i try to cast new ones they initiate from the point that i dont have any defenses on and this occurs a situation that most of the time i can hardly pull off. even though i somehow be able trap them to a wall, thanks to rumi flasks they block my attack and thanks to cwdt flame dash its most of the time too late until i can land my second shot to the position they are, since harbingers have low attack speed my namelocking isnt good enough to lock on target which uses cwdt + flame dash teleporting. until harbinger deals another attack they get long gone from that location. theefore i have to kill them with smoke mine tricks offscreen or mostly with initial hits from mid range before they get close. thats why im having 470k dps LA nowadays. wall shots just doesnt work anymore

i dont know how, shin says he has 6k life, but he blocks 9 out of my 10 attacks easily. and all the wall shots i deal he gets away of damage by cwdt flame dash + blind flasks... whatever.

vs other bow builds, i deal better with them cause i have better gear and im very used to micro around smoke mines and offscreen shots.

seriously, i dont know only vs you and EA wall shots is something that works wonders probably.

im glad people find new ways to deal with shitty skills in pvp. its a slow but steady process, people studied this LA build very good and have better know-how which actually works. i feel like my build got countered with try hard efforts of everyone in this meta.

Hahaha, I know you won't defend it man, but those guys all fuckyea.jpg are out there, and FW/FW+LA needs to be addressed, regardless if it's a preferred playstyle vs 1% of the playerbase. And I'm more remarking at how crazy the damage is rather than sitting back laughing. It's just plain to see how OP it is, and that's what I find so crazy. And the range omg.

Everyone has problems with Shin. He's a life-based L21 CWDT Scold's caster with strong TC (and other curses), leg kaoms, infinite legacy rumi's to have capped block in a bottle, infinite Zephyr flask to keep him alive as long as he doesn't fill up on mana, and infinite warding flasks. You gotta be like 200% overcapped on fire vs him also. Pathfinder is some next level crazy shit in PVP, but that's for another thread haha. IMO because of pathfinder, we'd have to say no unique flasks in PVP tourneys (like we'll have any of those soon lol).

Everyone has problems vs tempest/rumi blockers unless you run bcr in a 15% block pen weapon, or you scale DOT. That's just the way it is.

I'm glad you guys are so technical. Stop. Drink a beer. Refill.

Cheers,

Snazzy

blast rain dps:



LA Dps, wallshot mode(with ppad):



LA Dps, far shotter mode(with LMP):



blast rain is really good vs EA and aegis targets.

tests have been made while blood rage is on, im using blood range to lock down opponent in the first seconds of rounds in pvp, yeah.

i have 4%+ regen so blood rage doesnt do degen damage on me.

one might ask why do you require to get 500k+ dps, or 350k+ dps with LMP, thats how shin dies to wall one shot/ or pb + blast rain only. : (
