What is the most overpowered UT in the game?

#241

Adding to what TomTheSnek said, there are also a bunch of weapons which armor pierce

#242

look at that shot pattern tho

#243

There were far fewer of such items present in the game when that post was written.

#244

For end game co-op play, hands down, puri and mseal take it. The items are so busted in large groups. They are like the number one contributing factor to the steam roll meta we’re currently experiencing. Mseal alone has also made it so many warriors are opting for tiered helms or bee helm now because jugg (which many used to consider the best item in the game) is pointless in a group with mseal.

However, Oryx 3 should be really interesting, mostly because he has many moves that are designed to directly counter puri and mseal. Specifically, the status effects that cannot be purified as well as his armor piercing shotguns. I can’t wait to see how the meta develops for an end game dungeon where puri and mseal are going to essentially be useless.

Its going to be a ranged meta again, which is great because it gives a fresh change to the long melee-dominated gamescape that we are experiencing right now, from the nest’s tiny boss room to the lost halls’ very damaging shots and predictable shotguns that put melees leagues above ranged dps in every way basically invalidating them especially considering the huge dps output of melees. Oryx 3 on testing did seem to be more forgiving to ranged classes such as wizards than classical dominant classes such as the knight and the warrior

I’m still not sure if they are trying to make o3 > void or o3 = void tbh

I think the most OP UT in the game is probrably (brace the unpopular opinion!)

(DISREGARDING Mseal and Puri)

  1. Fungal Shield
    you just cant die. Up to 30 seconds of invincibility if you pot and use mp set? What a joke.
  2. The Sword of the Colossus
    What’s the drawback? Cause i dont see any (Shot patterns? Good luck missing… its like an anti evader with its wack shot pattern, try predicting in void you will 100% him)
  3. The Forgotten crown
    It is still the best ring in my opinion, perfectly balanced huge raw hp to the most offensive tied stats in the game for rings.
  4. Breastplate of new life
    Come on. It’s like a UBHP slapped onto a t10 armor. how insane is that? It’s so underrated imo, best armor in the entire game (No drawbacks, pure benefit)
  5. Cloak of the Planewalker
    This thing is way too good for how common it is. A half decent pet will make it basically perma clock and the split seconds of sight wont kill you anywhere except for golem rooms. The biggest thing tho is how ridiculously common it is for being the best cloak in the game.
#246

Mseal and maybe some other stuff may be more gamebreaking, but I think this bad boy grafik does waaaaay to much damage. Where normal spells usually miss half the shots and do ~1000 damage, this one does 4000 damage with shots that can’t lag through. Since it does area damage it also hits much more targets, so even if only a single explosion hits, its already better than most other spells. You can also hit enemies that spawn invulnerable or leave a mushroom and move on the next target, which is extremly good in e.g. the alien dungeons. I’m pretty sure that with a divine and this spell, wizard outdamages any other class by quite a bit in almost every situation.

#247

Doesn’t fungal shield disable any MP recovery?

#248

the weird nature of the forums where than can be a “trending topic” from 4 years ago is not good design IMO

#249

Usually that doesn’t happen; most threads created recently have an auto-lock feature that closes them after two months without a reply. There are a few (like this one) that were created before then, or for other reasons don’t have such a feature. They’re usually only brought back when someone deliberately searches for them to add a reply, as happened here. Just check the dates of posts to make sure you know when they’re from!

#250

yes, which is why its max use time with key chain, resu and UBMP and 22 mp pots only sit at around 30 seconds. With pet i imagine it could go up past a minute. Besides, i did not take scholars seal into account, which realmeye says affects it also

#251

The Parrot Lute (Wavecrest Concertina) probably warrants a mention for doing more damage than poisons with 1400 per spacebar, easier to aim than spells, no cooldown so spammable, and has the reactproc thing too, oh and also does Inspire so you can throw parrots from 9 tiles. And +4ATT/+4DEX just as another bonus because who really cares about giving UTs a downside.

Plus the lag it causes for all the other players, yeah GG on this one!

#252

Good ability does not justify bad class

#253

It no longer has particles.
It therefore no lonoger causes lag for other players.

#254

Honestly, I really like bard, gonna go put this in the Unpopular Opinions Thread

#255

I don’t really like bard either, believe it or not. Bow classes in general are bad but bard just seems kinda lame to me.

#256

Snake Eye Ring seems like an easy choice here. We’re talking about how powerful items are. Now consider the context of where we get these items. Let’s just have a universal (sans two classes - Warrior and Ninja, though you may even then use it while using swapout abilities) ring from the first Godlands dungeon being used alongside the very most endgame items.

Also Zen, niiiiiice necro. Didn’t even realize until I was reading
