    From what I can tell by the keystroke diagram, your methods are quite different from tiny dex's. I haven't been able to master either. Obviously, these skills are hard earned. I see far more comments on your channel from impressed players who are able to comprehend and admire your mastery as well as the same in Discords and Reddit. Your time (and mental health) might be better served addressing this part of your audience than the handful of complainers who insist on remaining a couple decades behind the meta.

      yeah, you can jump to cancel melee swings too, as soon as the animation comes out. you can jump cancel a heal kit while standing in place, into a buffered swing, if you time it right. to skip the animation of healing and go straight to attacking when you land

  • @jpotter2591
    @jpotter2591 15 днів тому

    I always wondered what the formula was for shields that makes them so OP. Because its not like just putting on another piece of armor, its way more than that it seems. On another note, when you jump around to slide cast/animation break, how do you not slow down to a crawl? I thought if you jump too much in succession this happens? Are you doing some kind of reset? Turbine patched out rapid jumping/bunny hopping shortly after the game launched to prevent abuse, or so I had thought.

    • @meltbeam
      @meltbeam 15 днів тому

      yeah I think the surprising thing is how effective a shield is without the skill being trained as far as jumping, there's no limit on it in the emulator

    • @JK-hi3ir

  • @meltbeam
    @meltbeam 16 днів тому

    something I didn't get a chance to explain in the vid: the reason you don't see shields often or hear about them being so overpowered dual wielding with a high offhand mod allows you to easily evade almost everything in the game so while shields are insane, these VR gromnies with overpower are one of the only endgame use cases for them however, before 180 / without all the gear to evade or even if you're going no melee D shields will absolutely trivialize any melee encounter thanks for watching

    • @meltbeam
      @meltbeam 16 днів тому

      yeah they are normally somewhat obsolete because of dual wielding's offhand property. having a high melee D offhand allows you to evade nearly everything in the game. viridian rise enemies have a chance to overpower, which means a guaranteed hit through your melee D. VR gromnies are basically the only thing in the game I wouldn't dual wield for

      almost every player on a pve server jumps with a healing kit. the difference? it's easy enough for them to do. there's no difference in what I do. they're also animation breaking. this is just a higher level of skill. so if I'm cheating, every player who cancels a heal kit with a jump (almost everybody) is too

      It's an exploit with the code for the emulators that was supposed to be fixed to match retail but never happened. In retail hoping around a lot would basically Dsync your character planting you in place and preventing any action until you were resync'ed with where the server thought you were supposed to be.

    If PVP Missle D is the strongest.

  • @meltbeam
    @meltbeam 16 днів тому

    in summary: melee D is underrated broken, stronger than summoning on a lot of content. I did 30 legendary quests without any gear whatsoever except for melee D mods there's a ton of content average players could easily do with melee D that they couldn't with no melee D + summons. conventional gameplay without summoning is boring and one dimensional only void has some minor decision making to the combat summoning adds choices to a game where there otherwise are none. aiming them has its own skill ceiling. what debuffs do I apply? how much debuff is needed, or can I take over with weapon damage? after which debuffs do I drop the summons? summoning is a welcome extra dimension to combat in a game where the combat otherwise is just auto-attacking the league designers on levistras, who haven't played at this level, seem to have a personal crusade against summoning for whatever reason. it is generally much harder to play without melee D + shield but with summoning, and is more than enough of a player power tradeoff no melee D + summoning is just a much more skillful setup, less of a boring slog it's the best version of AC combat thanks for watching
