I have - it’s only bearable when I play as a nightstalker. It’s still easily the worst strike! Read more

I wanted to rank classes, but I just... couldn’t. It was the one bridge I just couldn’t cross! As silly as some of these lists are, I can back up my rankings on all of them. But if I tried to say that, say, Hunters are better than Titans, I just can’t back that up. They’re all good. Read more

Yeah, the waiting alone pushed it all the way back. Which is saying something, given how bad the ability kills/material farming step of the sword quests is... Read more

I dunno, I like it! It’s not Red Death or anything, but it’s pretty fun to use. Read more

I dunno - I’ve seen Dark-Drinker do some absurd things to high-level mobs. But yeah, they’re neck-and-neck, at the very least. Read more

Tlaloc is a lot of fun - you’re probably gonna dig it. The Titan auto rifle... not so much. Read more

Most disappointing exotic in the game? Probably. Then again I don’t have The First Curse yet... Read more

I will tell you that, because it’s true: Last place was a toss-up between Mars and Venus. Read more

It’s weird, but I do too. The first nightfall I ever soloed! Read more

I almost did, but decided not to for reasons of like, decorum or something? I don’t know. It was a questionable call, in retrospect. Read more

Happy to help! May all your harrowed drops be 315+, and all your exotic engrams be primaries. Read more

If you (as gaze-grabber) shadestep immediately after he releases a group of orbs, they’ll all go wonky and off-target. Go straight backwards and he won’t rotate, so everyone in the pit can still hit him easily. It works hilariously well. Read more

It was a mess. I’m only just now about to finish it, not because it was hard but because I kept losing progress when my team (of randos) would lose. I eventually just stopped trying. I’ve played 200 hours of TTK or something ridiculous like that, and the fact that I’m still not done with the basic onboarding crucible Read more

Ugh, so it is. I’d checked the character entry and everything! Oh well, wouldn’t be a Witcher article if I didn’t misspell someone’s name. Read more
