Are UVs combat/tactic based?
Fri, 11/01/2013 - 03:12
As you all know, I love FSC. I gotta make a living somehow (that and I like making Batabii mad by saying that). Recently, I spent a triple UV ticket from a radiant forge box on my Leviathan blade. It got: ASI Very High, Vs Undeads Very High, and Vs Beasts low (which sadly took away the CTR low it had since it was a 2* calibur)
Those 3 UVs gave me the idea that UVs are based on how you use the weapon or what you encounter.
And to extend that story, I got another radiant forge box from my Dread Skelly Armor and got a double UV ticket. I lock the ASI in (That's the FIRST thing I made sure of. And you won't be seeing me using it in LD anytime soon. Not that I do that anyway), and I got Vs Constructs low. That would make sense as I have been going to the Ironclaw Factory for Elite orbs (and sometimes Jelly King to counteract boredom).
TL;DR: I did some stuff and the UVs make me think the UVs are encounter-use based.
Thoughts?

HOW DARE YOU NINJA THIS THREAD WITHOUT DOING WHAT YOU DO BEST!?!? D:<
In FSC I don't need that much dmg Undead, I always have my Maskeraith use the Dmg Undead perk in there. 3 swings still takes them out in 3-5 hits and makes them flinch. All I want is my CTR back. I kinda though the Triple UV ticket would upgrade that. Which kind of backfired. Yet if I locked it, I might not have gotten the ASI. I'm no UV expert but it's best to be careful.

Oh lawd wat.
Kid, you had a CTR LOW. LOW.
"Thoughts?" -Xtweeterx
What on Cradle is wrong with you? Are you seriously feeling emotionally attached to a data value that minimally increased your swords charge time?

@Weedalot
If I was emotionally attached to CTR low on my Levi or ANYTHING, I would have stated that on many UV-related threads a long time ago. Plus, if I wanted CTR on my Levi, I wouldn't want it anything but low. I would want all the CTR on everything to be low.
Must I repeat what I said?
"I kinda though the Triple UV ticket would upgrade that. Which kind of backfired."
upgrade
upgrade
UPGRADE

Backfired.
Backfired.
BACKFIRED.
You're saying that if the last UV had been a CTR low, you would have been happy.
You don't seem care that you got a ASI very high, or undead very high (which you rolled away). In all its simplicity, you're saying that an ASI very high and an undead very high isn't an upgrade...

"You don't seem care that you got a ASI very high"
Let's get one thing clear. You don't know what I think behind my monitor and I don't know what you think behind yours. When I noticed my ASI You have no idea how happy I was (very). I didn't need that Dmg Undead VH because in FSC I always have my Maskeraith use the Vs Undead High perk which still makes them die in 3-5 hits and causes them to flinch
" you're saying that an ASI very high and an undead very high isn't an upgrade..." If i said ASI or anything VH wasn't an upgrade, I would have been dead on the forums a long time ago.
@Everyone:
STOP.... USING... MY... WAYS OF USING HTML TAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Food for thought: With Undead VH, you could replace your Maskeraith's undead perk with a CTR perk.

@Traevelliath
Not sure if sarcasm or seerus.
If seerus, It seems of though people get outraged over how others treat their UV'd weapons or other things and feel SO COMPELLED to tell me how I must play the game when I never in my life did the exact same thing to them.
Same goes when people ask a question that requires the Scientific Method to be executed which Zeddy seems to do... A lot.

- "You don't know what I think behind my monitor and I don't know what you think behind yours." -Xtweeter
Which is why I said that is seems like you don't seem to care. 'Cause it doesn't, from here.
- "When I noticed my ASI You have no idea how happy I was (very)."
So happy you decided to go write about how you didn't get your CTR and say that it was a backfire because you lost your CTR low.
- "I didn't need that Dmg Undead VH because in FSC I always have my Maskeraith use the Vs Undead High perk which still makes them die in 3-5 hits and causes them to flinch"
So instead of having health increase, more resistance to any kind of damage or status, movement speed increase, attack speed or damage for gun, charge time or damage for bomb, charge time for sword as your sprite perk - instead of any of that, even a medium charge time reduction for your sword - you decided to deliberately remove your undead very high damage on your sword (in hopes of a CTR UV) and stick with your undead high perk.
- "STOP.... USING... MY... WAYS OF USING HTML TAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
- "I'm confused... why are we bashing Xtweeterx? His choices are logical enough to me." -Traevelliath
Trying not to bash, just... Voicing my opinion on what he did in a disagreeing and, I'll admit, maybe condescending way.
Also, feel free to explain. 'Cause I just don't understand his train of thought at all.

If you're so afraid of reactions/opinions I think you might not want to write things on the Internet.

Ah.
"So happy you decided to go write about how you didn't get your CTR and say that it was a backfire because you lost your CTR low."
Again, you don't know what I think nor do I know what you think. That was just part of the story. If I had been THAT happy it would be the first if not second thing within the OP
"So instead of having health increase, more resistance to any kind of damage or status, movement speed increase, attack speed or damage for gun, charge time or damage for bomb, charge time for sword as your sprite perk - instead of any of that, even a medium charge time reduction for your sword - you decided to deliberately remove your undead very high damage on your sword (in hopes of a CTR UV) and stick with your undead high perk."
...Yeah pretty much. Like I said, don't tell me how to play my game and I won't tell you how to play yours. Plus the damage carries to all my weapons and I've always had 2 penta-heart trinkets providing 12 extra units, so... And the ASI is still a good cover.
"Trying not to bash, just... Voicing my opinion on what he did in a disagreeing and, I'll admit, maybe condescending way.
Also, feel free to explain. 'Cause I just don't understand his train of thought at all."
Ah, sorry for taking that way.
I'll say it one more time, Thoughts. Neither of us don't know them.
If you're so afraid of reactions/opinions I think you might not want to write things on the Internet.
Oh really? And it's my fault for trying to figure out how the community thinks (maybe that's not relevant).
I voice opinions of experiences and other things and see what others have to say. Heck, even constructive criticism is worthy (if the latter is what you intended, sorry for taking it as bashing).

What you should have done is
What you should have done is not use a public forum as your personal blog. Then you wouldn't have to deal with other members of the public commenting on your personal activities.

@Captain-Hindsight
If I was using a public forum as a personal blog, you would see a LOOOOOOOOT more threads from me. This here was (keyword "was") just a simple question I thought I could have answered. Go forum-diving if you don't believe many others have done the same.

"Like I said, don't tell me how to play my game and I won't tell you how to play yours." -Xtweeter
I wouldn't mind that, actually. If someone has a way of doing things that they believe is superior to my ways, then I wouldn't mind hearing about it. Of course, the tone of how this is put forth can vary.
"Ah, sorry for taking that way." -Xtweeterx
Naw, I could definitely have said what I said in a more friendly manner. Sorry about that.
"Heck, even constructive criticism is worthy." -Xtweeterx
I'll try to stick to that more...
"What you should have done is not use a public forum as your personal blog." -Captain Hindsight
I'll have to both agree and disagree here.
Yes, Xtweeter could have written it differently, but it was however a part of the theory that was presented and requested thoughts upon.

Now if you don't mind Xtweeterx go read Zeddy's latest comment on the thread and reply.
...I'm very curious about that :o
Then again that's probably not what the main purpose of your thread was.
I really don't know. Of all the things that I could have gotten on my Mercurial Demo Suit I got things like Freeze med (twice), normal med, curse med, pierce low, freeze low, when all I wanted was nothing more than a shock low.
And of all things I get curse med when I double UVed rolled my freeze high skolver cap. Perhaps I'll get a freeze med chaos cloak some day. Does this count as "encounter-use" based?
Then I get ctr low on my Gran Faust back when I said I loved charge spamming Gran Faust. Does that count too?
And yet I never get the asi I want for my 3* hammer (yes screw T3 LD I play T2)
Also, you got TWO radiant boxes? We're never friends ever.

I agree with that completely, heck, I might even try their way of thinking if I like it (excluding swiftstrike bucklers), but it really does matter on the tone in which it's said. And I can think of a perfect example of that too.
@Qwao/Zeddy:
"Food for thought: With Undead VH, you could replace your Maskeraith's undead perk with a CTR perk."
I WOULD have done that if I had thought of it by the time, but just realized my Blitz, Shiv, and AP wouldn't make quick work of slags. It still would, but not very quick work.
What I mean is that, My UVs made me think they were based on what monsters you fought, what status debuffs you were dealing with, how you used that weapon, etc.
Yes. I got TWO radiant boxes. One from forging my Callahan in Unknown Passage in my very first Shadow Lair back in August of this year (Rabid Snarby), and the other like 2-3 weeks ago from forging my Dread Skelly suit (That's probably the last 5* think I forge until the radiants are fixed).
No.
Also why would you roll away undead VH.
