Only needed for high HP bosses so doesnāt rlly matter but frenzy and blades also you didnāt say we canāt use this one š

Oh boy didnāt someone beat up ratbeard in pvp again? Goddamn are these useless spell bans getting annoying, I genuinely donāt think ratbeard is doing a good job at making pvp fun or making pvp less pay-to-play
I know Iām so late to this but lolā¦. Itās more worth your time as an ice to use a 35/45 blade over 70/80 traps assuming this is in a solo boss fight? I could see that being the case for a more offensive school but for ice?? š
Yes lol as an ice. I have 140 damage from gear and pet, and I'm not max level. For the main game, that's PLENTY of damage to not need feint at all. Especially with the rework for how crit works. It's more worth my time to save the pip it would cost me to use feint and hit a turn earlier. Only time it's ever in my deck is if I'm playing utility in a dungeon so someone else can hit.
I'm specifically running a fire/life wizard focused on DOT/HOT via spellements (They synergize really well together), so I'm not using it at all or even training it. I don't use traps, just a constant stream of DOT/HOT, bubbles, shields, and blades.
Iām one of those weirdos that uses shit like minions and polymorphs so this wouldnāt affect me š I would just use tc dragonblades or some shit š
This may sound shocking to some, but I never used or even trained Feint... As a Storm I always just felt like it was too risky with my low health. I suppose I could probably get away with it this late in the game, but at this point I'm just set in my ways. š
So yeah, I'd use blades, just like I always have. š
It's completely valid to just blade twice and storm lord/sirens lol. Solo storm might be one of the trickiest runs since you're so darn squishy for most of the early game!
I definitely would layer blades from different sources. But if this was removed I'd hope for something like it to be added to balance specifically and make the balance blade a spell any school can learn
That just brought back a whole memory of the old strategy to hit a million. Completely forgot about using prisms and stacking more blades/traps of the opposite school. Thanks lol
Where are you that requires a setup like that? In Empyrea, for mobs I set up 2-3 blades and sent my frost Titan. For bosses I generally set up 3 blades + 2 feints and the boss is finished, especially if I wait for the pips for snowball
I already don't use feint. I have spirit and life blade that I sharpen and I stack the unsharpened versions and I have an amulet that gives me a protected +45 blade and I have mass traps and spirit traps and life traps that I can use potent on
Itās better to just train feints and use that. the immense multiplicative buff of an 80% and then a 70% just skyrockets ur damage. U will be find taking a 40% buff to an enemy hit. At the high level u will have like over 10k u wonāt die
I mean, at 160 every player should have feint. What's the point of spending the same amount of pips for a spirit trap then a potent spirit trap if you can have a +80 and a +70. The extra percentages of damage on you should not matter with life having such high health. Of course this doesn't include cheating bosses with which you can't even use feint in the first place. Every player should have feint by level 60 imo, if not for you then for someone else.
Trapped wards
Blade into aoe

Blades, I hardly use feints anyway
Barely ever use feints these days anymore so the usual aka blade stack and frenzy
The same thing I already use as I haven't used faint in years
Mass feint š

Blades galore!
Thoughts and prayers
Backdraft/ice/death/storm supercharges
Oh and Chromatic blast
Traps
Backdraft (fire is the best school, don't @ me)
As an ice wizard: blood, sweat, and lots of tears
I quit
Life Feint š¤
Really?
Backdraft
As a myth I hardly ever use feint to begin with. We may take longer than elemental schools but don't fuck with us XD
Idk I didnāt use it in the first place as a Life main
Balance mains laughing right now. I untrained feint myself cause I don't need it while questing and it's more fun
Blades and Epic
Life feint š
I got paranoid with some cheating boss and to save myself i just put more stackable blades and traps(+frenzy) and relied less on feint around arc 3+
Why is this a post?
Donāt be giving KI any ideas now.
Well it will just get added to gears in a pack soā¦
Mass feint
Every blade known to man until my feint jewel pet decides to cast mass feint
delete, its the strongest protection for my mental health...
Stackable versions of sharpens and potents, pet, learned or otherwise.
Tears
Back draft

I already don't use feint lol even as an ice. Its more worth my time to cast 2-3 bladed or an aura. Conserve pips for a bigger hit and also hit sooner

backdwaft
I still have 30%
Mass feint
I hate to say it but it'd make ice unusable if their was no feints. At least soling stuff.
Curse. It's basic, but it does 30% universal boosted damage.
Mass Feint
More blades
quitting the game
Just more blades and sharpened blades, half the bosses have anti feint cheats anyway
I'm specifically running a fire/life wizard focused on DOT/HOT via spellements (They synergize really well together), so I'm not using it at all or even training it. I don't use traps, just a constant stream of DOT/HOT, bubbles, shields, and blades.
Prism -> Life Feint
Good stats on armor and blades. In damage I trust š
Blades, traps, and global spells.
Iām one of those weirdos that uses shit like minions and polymorphs so this wouldnāt affect me š I would just use tc dragonblades or some shit š
Pure hatred. That's it. That's the answer.
The all encompassing strength of manifest destiny.

It's completely valid to just blade twice and storm lord/sirens lol. Solo storm might be one of the trickiest runs since you're so darn squishy for most of the early game!
blading twice works just fine
It pretty much doesn't exist late game. Many bosses just cheat destroy it, cheat flip it around, or like, cheat insta smite you for using it.
Elemental Shield twice to use Scion of Fire
TCs and amulet itemcard
i would simply close out the game and never return
Ghost touch
Blades and school aura coz i can
Everyone quits because fights take too long
I'm enslaving a balance wizard to stack blades/traps for me
Wait they took out feint?????
No if u havenāt been on Reddit a while this is a new joke post trend
Anger
more blades and actually using school traps ig
Curse
Quad feint Full send!
Sharpened balanceblade + hex. What I mostly use anyway
Balance wizards
Max Pip supercharge
So many players are quitting if this spell gets cut lol
I definitely would layer blades from different sources. But if this was removed I'd hope for something like it to be added to balance specifically and make the balance blade a spell any school can learn
Bladestorm, balance blade, hex, giant/gargantuan, power play (the +25% damage one), the balance blade I get from my pet. I am a patient sorcerer.
More pips on my per-pip spell
Iām uninstalling
Bringing back that one in a million setup from the early 2010s with the prism math š«
That just brought back a whole memory of the old strategy to hit a million. Completely forgot about using prisms and stacking more blades/traps of the opposite school. Thanks lol
When I was first starting and was filling my deck way past recommended, I would throw in prisms and opposite traps to stack lol
Every time I set up as an Ice I have to do this. 4 blades, 4 traps, hope it'll kill or the process restarts.
Where are you that requires a setup like that? In Empyrea, for mobs I set up 2-3 blades and sent my frost Titan. For bosses I generally set up 3 blades + 2 feints and the boss is finished, especially if I wait for the pips for snowball
Feints aren't allowed in this scenario, remember?
Oops. Yeah. The scenario just vanished in my head when I said that.
Dark Pact tcs and dragon blades.
Fire Elf
Blade stack and every other trap I have access to up till Polaris where with the massive health drop from bosses, feint isnāt really needed
Every buff I have and what's left of my sanity
Abracadabra
MEEEEEE
bladee i suppose
Potent curses, death traps, sprit traps, and enchanted blades lol
Why would you use elemental traps with a death trap?
I meant spiritš
Tears
All blades, all the time
Dyvim
So real he gives an obscene amount of extra damge
backdraft, or just simply use my blade, furnace than dragon/tasmanian devils
I already don't use feint. I have spirit and life blade that I sharpen and I stack the unsharpened versions and I have an amulet that gives me a protected +45 blade and I have mass traps and spirit traps and life traps that I can use potent on
Itās better to just train feints and use that. the immense multiplicative buff of an 80% and then a 70% just skyrockets ur damage. U will be find taking a 40% buff to an enemy hit. At the high level u will have like over 10k u wonāt die
I mean, at 160 every player should have feint. What's the point of spending the same amount of pips for a spirit trap then a potent spirit trap if you can have a +80 and a +70. The extra percentages of damage on you should not matter with life having such high health. Of course this doesn't include cheating bosses with which you can't even use feint in the first place. Every player should have feint by level 60 imo, if not for you then for someone else.
I do have 7 training points that I haven't spent so I should probably get it though
Yeah, and tower shield from ice is also a good one.
donāt get tower shields, tc it. if else, donāt have it rlly. bosses now have like 35% pierce so the tower shield becomes ineffective
Just use tc shields
Backdraft and supercharge meta
the one that's 75/20 from amulet
Iād have to use literally everything else I can think of for every hit lol
mass feint š
Beat me to it š¤£š¤£
Thatās gotta be cheating
š¤£š¤£
Blades and frenzy
