Paladins: Corvus revisited

-

There has been a few changes to the build I'm using since I first blogged about Corvus. 

The first change was my agreement with someone's opinion that it's not effective putting many points into The Price of Salvation (I had 5 points in it) because the amount of heals won't save Corvus from being burst by damage dealers (best just to escape, rather than outheal). Its use is mainly for out-of-danger situation to quickly recover some health or to heal up bit by bit any poke damage received so as to negate the need to escape.

So I experimented and settled on, for sometime, the following build:

Grand Design - 5

Shadow Tribunal - 5

Priority Targets - 2

The Price of Salvation - 2

Magistrate's Might - 1

I stuck to this build, for a while, despite the following changes:

  • Grand Design: Reduced Lifesteal scaling {5|5}% ⭢ {3|3}%
  • The Price of Salvation: Increased healing {60|60} ⭢ {75|75}, Reduced healing time 2s ⭢ 1s
  • (I read this in forum/reddit) Bug fix: No longer gets heal from marked target's Lifesteal item when Grand Design card is used

Maxed Grand Design so that allies get highest Lifesteal that will also heal me. Maxed Shadow Tribunal for highest amount of heals for them.

Here are some gameplays:


The card Crushing Expectations is a popular card that tournament players use. In fact, if i'm not mistaken, it's often maxed out at the expense of Shadow Tribunal. I can appreciate how useful the extra movement speed is, especially for flankers. That should increase their chance of either hunting down enemies or escaping, shouldn't it? So I tried to incorporate that card and the current build is:

Grand Design - 4

Shadow Tribunal - 4

The Price of Salvation - 2

Crushing Expectaions - 4

Magistrate's Might - 1

Yes, there's a little less survivability due to absence of Priority Targets. I have to be better at escaping.

Here are some gameplays:


I broke my personal best in terms of healing, across all supports that I played, in this match (248k healing!):

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba

Sudden lower body pain

-
About two weeks ago, my mum developed pain in her pelvic bone, much more on the right side, and squeezing pain in her legs, with occassional spike in pain. She was managing it with paracetamols, 2 tabs three times daily.  Since we didn't know any particular orthopedist in private hospitals (it was only recently that I remember Dr Prashant ), I targeted one at KPJ Penang Specialist Hospital since it's in mainland Penang (instead of on the island). I made appointment for my mum with Dr Joehaimey since he has the earliest suitable date. The moment she walked through his door, he immediately asked her whether the pain from her right side. We were both quite impressed. He was in turn impressed with mum's prepared list of medication that she presented to him on a piece of paper. The key information seems to be the surgery she had back in 2011 to insert titanium plate and screws in her lower spine. He guessed that there's accumalated wear and tear due to aging. So to confirm i
