Omg thnx plzplzplz

Very short, skinny, tries to be against the "norm"... sounds like me. Yep. Such a hipster.

As someone who wears mercurial mail+helm or skolver+kat eye mask (the 4* one), wielding Sudaruska, Flamberge, Iron Slug and Virulent Catalyser in lockdown while sporting a Volcanic Pepperbox, Plague needle and Volcanic plate mail for PvE-

am I doing it right?

Another obvious requirement is to trick the GMs into giving you shadow expresso... but you have to be quick, because it only counts if you get it before it is cool.

A Knight does not get more hip than a full set of Plate Mail along with a Wingmillion, Heavy Decon, and maybe a Big Angry Bomb. Also, the Heater Shield or Scarlet Shield are the best options for PvE. Swift Strike and Owlite is too mainstream.

Heading into PvP with the Guardian class and a Sudaruska is sure to get you all that hipster attention. It will also make people laugh at you, until you kill them while they rage about lag.

In five years, the whole world with turn into hipsters, in which people will use every armor and weapon except brandishes, pulsars, and skolver because they still think it's too mainstream, then some random person will put on skolver armor and spam brandishes and pulsars saying "Yo, I'm so hipster that I put on different armor that nobody uses," in which everyone will follow them as they realise that nobody does use them and they aren't mainstream anymore and soon everything will be back to how it was before there were hipsters, and then the cycle repeats

With most of the population of sk trying to be cool with like they special snowflake they think they are, mainstream stuff would then become hipster and vice-versa. A never ending cycle, really.

Yes.

@Sir-Crazee-Pi

Your cycle assumes that people are using the optimal alternatives that supposedly have equal effectiveness.

For example, if people switch between chaos clone, bkc clone, or skolver clone (Snarby looks too BA to be clone material), all of them are using damage optimized gear.

However, if someone uses dread skelly, everyone won't flock to it, because it sucks. The extra shadow defense is barely useful, and you lose normal defense. Freeze is kind of helpful, but poison not so much (except for fighting Contri, who occasionally uses a poison bomb).

In this sense, being hipster would involve using gear that is not and most likely won't be in the cycle of powerful gear, not just using what other people don't use.

Now someone go get 30k damage in a dread skelly set and prove me wrong

^Precisely!

Actually, hipsters would take Royal Jelly over Ice Queen. And that includes the shield.

I don't know about you, but the very thought of a Spiral Hipster sends shivers down my spine.
