thank you so much!!! hey ever try using the amulet "whispering marble" (grants 3 stacks of bulwark increaes damage 3% per stack of bulwark) then dried clay ring (grants 1 stack of bulwark, increases all damage by 60% of total DR granted by bulwark stacks) I've been able to reach 5 stacks of Bulwark but why cant it go any higher?!? but right now my damage increase is stable at 30% and my DR is stable at 35% and i still have room for 2 more rings!!!! any thoughts on how to improve this build anymore? i was thinking about adding probability chord and something else that improves my damage crit something to heal myself
I have a doubt. What would be more efficient to prioritize to keep myself alive but to also deal good amounts of dmg? Damage reduction is good enough? Consumable, traits, challenger class, etc. I have a melee build with high dps (high melee sttack speed, high melee dmg and crit chance), I dont use summons but seems like I should get some for Blood bond
As someone who’s just been wandering about in this game and not understanding why I was getting rag dolled on the higher difficulties, I’d like to say thank you. This makes much more sense than anything I have seen before
For those who may ask when you open the sheet you need to click file -> make a copy -> choose where you want it saved to, then you can edit your copy of the sheet for yourself.
I can feel the amount of frustration in your voice from people who spit out nonsense without knowing what they're talking about. You've done an amazing job correcting the misinformation in this video. It's not the best explanation as you said, but it helped a ton. Thank you so much for the spreadsheet.
These are the kinds of videos i need. Explaining the inner workings of how the game calculates this stuff...gives us context when we are trying to put together a build. Thanks dude.
I was not understanding exactly *how* flat DR was multiplicative with armor DR until now. But seeing a 10% barkskin taking off ~4% from the ~40 damage *remaining* after armour (and not adding ~6 on top of the 60 DR already present) it all finally clicked. Nice sheet by the way, very clean.
Hats off to you sir! im new to the game and i am tired of build guides that doesnt explain correctly wtf they put on and why. This opens up the possibility of me trying out my own unique buiilt.
Once again, another video that's actually 10 minutes of useful information. Also keep in mind that both builds compared were aiming for similar but different goals in mind. I have watched both videos and Vash's build was built for sheer tankiness while the latter was made more for co op. That's why it has more health because it increases healing. Thanks for the spreadsheet, it allows us to be more creative with our builds instead of just copying whatever's best.
Man, thanks soooo much for this info, I had been trying to do a tank build for the longest time and really fell short, you're explanation is on point, man!
I watched this video about 4 to 5 times now. Finally understand DR and how to apply it to builds and how to calculate it on my own. Wanted to make a build that applied what I’ve learned to a light armor build and it worked very well. Thank you!
The video was very information. I've seen plenty of RUclips videos of people recommend tank builds, and they kind of worked. But I followed your video and I was able to improve my own build and basically run maps in apoc without breaking a sweat lol much appreciated 🙏
Watching you work in excel clicked a lightbulb for me. I learned about armor DR, ehp, and how to better my excel books. You get a subscribe for your knowledge!
Best explanation I've heard, I've seen tanks builds that just say put on all dr, hp and armor u can find without knowing the values behind. Great video!
EXCELLENT WORK in creating the spreadsheet and explaining it. I've copied, saved it to my hard drive and ready to use it going forward. Also, you did an amazing job with the advanced formulas since that takes a lot of time and effort. I am more familiar with Excel and after I opened it from my hard drive, the Song of Eafir + Blood Bond checkboxes were missing so I had to add them (just an FYI for anyone that uses Excel). However, since you already had the formula setup in I14, it was a simple thing to do. Again, thank you for creating this and also explaining how DR works. 👍👍👍👍
I mean I really don't have beef with these guys, but I'm not gonna act like I'm perfectly ok with all the copies that pop up every time a video does well. If a copy actually improves a build in a meaningful way, I think that's free game, but when they don't improve it, and they pretty much never ever do, that's just stupid lmfao.
Super informative! Wish you had gone over some of your favorite items you use to hit the DR cap (and why you like them). But otherwise, it definitely gets the point across.
One is hardcore metal band mentioned in his earlier videos as that one ring allows you to maintain 5 stacks of bulwark in combat easily. Crystal heart relic for 25% on demand DR.
1. I'm done with the game so I basically just watch these videos to listen to you dunk on people in a very chill voice. 2. You called it a meme build, but that video was really helpful. I didn't know half of those build options existed and they certainly hadn't popped up on my playthrough. Thanks to you, I realised that a hilarious infinite heals medic/summoner build was possible. 3. Listening to you point out the importance of stacking multipliers is giving me flashbacks to screeching about multiplicative damage mods on r/Warframe.
i just wanna say, as someone who hates to math, thank you for all the work you put into your explanations, and putting together a great sheet. new sub for sure. keep up the good work my man.
“Without dodging or using a single relic “ 😢 whoa 🤯 Somebody took their Add meds!! Lol dude you are the friggen man. Love the breakdown, love the spreadsheets, love how absolute your formulas are. Seriously, thanks for your effort. Hope you enjoy your adventures ❤✌🏻♾🤑💯🙏🏻
This is exactly the methodology I used to push my effective HP to 1,924 with my own tank build that I based on yours (I credited you of course). 184 HP + 80% DR + Blood Bond + Song + 60% of my HP worth of shields since Rerouting Cable gives 50% and the fragment gives 20% more shields than normal. Glad to see I'm on the same page as you, since I feel like you're one of the only remnant 2 creators who know what you're doing.
If your clever explanation and wit against the trolls wasn't enough it's that you've now used the labyrinth sentinel boss music in at least 2 of your videos (easily the best boss OST in the game imo) and that for me is a huge W. Great video!
Nice video, and a very useful sheet. Thank you. I have to say tho, the random call out in the middle feels very weird to me. There are only so many options, and only many ways to arrange them. That is especially true for niche builds like these. Hell, I am only here because of your Melee Only Reddit clip. I followed that thread to your YT video because of how similar our builds were. Even if this unnamed creator did take inspiration from your video they still made their own changes, for better or worse. Callouts like these, even anonymized, just makes you look petty. Just my 2c. 🤷♂
Glad you like the vid and the sheet! In regards to the other bit on your comment, I already typed up a hefty response to a similar complaint so I recommend looking for a comment posted by a yologaming8113 to see a similar discussion as while you have different ways of bringing up the complaint, your complaint is [kind of] similar and my response, bar a few sections specifically catered to that guy, can applicable here as well.
as someone who's already done their apoc clear, this shit blew my fuckin mind. I played warframe and still struggle with the numerous multipliers involved when it comes to damage calcs, but you going in depth about how much a small increase can overdrive your EHP is something I'm gonna need to dwell on to fully understand lol. Fantastic content that doesn't give an ign surface level knowledge dump I can figure out in 5m of gameplay. This shit has depth and will actually improve how the community reacts to these concepts. Good on you man, and thanks.
As someone who accidentally started with a build similar to what this discusses and moved into a much more popular regenerative build for apocalypse, only to ask "why am I getting bodied so hard I thought I was supposed to be tankier" THIS IS SO VINDICATING. I finally understand what I did wrong when I changed my build, and I feel oddly proud I walked face first into a semi-meta build when I started the game. Thanks for the help!
Yes, as others have stated great video. Love the data backing up ur recommendations. Are u planning any videos making a build w/ the best of both worlds i.e. good survivability w/ some decent damage?
Possibly in the future. Right now I have covered all the builds I wanted to cover, basically everything I wanted to test. I was actually done with videos until a new update changes things, with the last video on the melee build. But, as I said in the video, I was really surprised by the comments I was getting, so I was like well maybe I make one more video while waiting for an update.
Your video, kind of helped me idk if its just me and not being great and understanding more complex mechanics likes these, but i cant seem to get any thing above 50% except with one of my rings wich skyrockets my DR to 148% its so frustrating to me
7:16 Rusted nav pendent also drops your armor encumbrance allowing you to go full letos and still roll which might be able to save a point or so on barkskin i guess
I actually wasn't going to do another build video, but funnily enough I will have another one out in the next day or so. I was making another video to criticize some very popular build choices that doesn't make sense, and I inadvertently made another build just to show why those builds I'm criticizing don't make sense... so... yeah lmfao
@@VashCowaii dude it's so tiresome seeing all the content dump from ppl that don't understand the game, your type of content is very rare, we need that man
I see comments like these and just say to my monitor: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. lmfao. Super stoked you were able to take away the info you needed to improve.
I'm seeing some different DR and armor numbers with the same build, I'm guessing patches have changed how the UI calculates those two? Idk but either way thank you so much for this and the other two videos u put out after this one. SUPER informative and helpful. I was so frustrated after using these builds from other videos and still getting smoked in 1 to 2 hits even from regular enemies on apocalypse. Your video has made QUITE a difference.
Please can you make some DPS builds in this style, I now no longer trust any other videos to do with R2 that aren’t yours! What a breath of fresh air. I cannot stand the homogenous click bait content that surrounds games, especially souls likes or games like this. Or those thumb nails where people just look surprised, it makes me want to punch them… Good video and a true analytical approach to build making, any one can just throw together a build in a game without much thought but this has given me a new perspective for what is actually quality content, as numbers don’t lie ☺️
Hi, thanks for sharing the sheet and explaining how things worked. I used your previous built to help others in thier game, was a lot of fun taking boss hits and still surviving. Now with you sharing the sheet, can customize it a bit for my play style as well. Thanks again. Best of luck with your channel. (PS. Hope you play Amored Core as well so we can get some helpful guides on that too 😅)
Dude thank you so much! I was getting destroyed in full Leto and I thought the game was unbalanced/broken. Now I'm taking on apocalypse and it's really not that bad with the right gear. This video is fantastic, good job!
The moment I realize I like the game about shooting robots with a bow and wood bugs with space guns so much that I spend 10 minutes looking at a data sheet while listening to a math guy crunching numbers. Thanks for the info, btw.
I use your builds buddy , by chance is crystal heart better than resonating heart because I've seen a few builds recently saying that's better ? , I stuck to your build for the minions only build I find apocalypse easy but seems to take forever to get bosses down , any chance you could do a tanky build but using guns this time to maximise damage aswell as defence?
If you can get to the max (80%) DR without crystal heart then often times Resonating Heart is going to be better since it heals up to the same amount per second for twice as long. Crystal Heart's 25% DR is really nice if you're not at the cap, so it comes down to how your built overall
I'm honestly useless at math 😅, so I need to switch to a ring that has that amount of Dr then I can switch to resonating heart, I always play co op so looking for a build that will sustain my friend with high DPS but gets 1 shot , would really like to change relic to resonating heart because of a longer healing up pariod if that makes sense lol
Hi, I'm new at his game and dumb as hell, but I want to know if your using a computer to play the game or PS5? Does it make a difference which platform your using?
I think the surprise comes more from not knowing that these are keywords to use in games like this and not necessarily that they didn't know what do you are specifically was if that makes sense. At the end of the day Dr isn't going to magically make you die less. Understanding other mechanics in the game like s and attack patterns proper item utilization etc. Are ultimately what you need to know to survive with even a meta build in this game
Love the info. Would you mind making a video about survivability trough dodging? Maxing I-frames and evade distance while still being able to tank one hit one apocalypse mode. It works a bit differently than facetanking since you dont need to survive more than one hit so i think it's worth the discussion. Im not talking about a no-hit run kind of thing, but a dodge setup really just needs to be able to tank a single hit for when you screw up so the gear and rings are totally different. It's my preferred way to play in any souls-likes, but i mostly just see videos about how to tank everything.
Great video! Thanks for explaining! Through your videos I was able to find the optimal way for me to have enough dr and dmg and the mods and weapons I wanted to use to get apocalypse done. I kinda dont wanna use minions or turret tough, they are strong in many encounters, but often they are bugged or useless, so I went with medic and archon because its fcking cool and archon is kinda bugged too in many situations but I am not so much reliant on it as I would be on my minions or turret.
Lol I love how I know the build you were talking about I think I sae that person's video and the build was ok but yours just take it to where it needs to go . I can't reach 80% DR for the life of me with the items I currently have but I'll get there
10:30 Fantastic. Love everything about this video. All that said, I have a question regarding developer statements about damage reduction and the intent of play for higher difficulties, particularly Apocalypse: So, Tragic (sure you know who he is, but just in case, he's the principal developer behind Remnant 2) said that they did not intend for everyone to be tanking through Apocalypse. He said that due in part to a need to respond to community complaints about damage reduction after the Fortify bug fix. He conceded that it was possible that certain armor sets needed to be tuned up, but that, first and foremost, stacking a bunch of DR and general survivability was never meant to be 'necessary' or even the best way to get through Apocalypse, but merely one way of many, and that the primary intent behind the Apocalypse difficulty is that experienced players would find ways to play around or even ignore certain mechanics entirely. In light of that, and the brilliant argument you've put together here, I feel compelled to ask you, are Tragic's response and argument reasonable? I know I _might_ have been able to beat Apocalypse, given time, _not_ using a build that stacked a high degree of survivability and a lot of relic charge regeneration (I went Medic primary, Archon secondary, with moderately high damage reduction (somewhere around 65%) and around 180 HP for the purpose of replenishing relic charges, which wasn't just for healing, but to rapidly refresh mod power so I could spam high-damage mods (not _that_ high damage, but damage that was reasonable for Apocalypse and that let me play with the playstyle I wanted to play), and doing that plus using Enigma to clear the orbs on Annihilation was what enabled me to beat that boss, but without doing that, I think it might have taken me weeks, at least, of consistent, frequent attempts in order to learn the boss so well that he just never touched me again. I've played a ton of Souls-likes, and beaten all of them several times, some of them on their highest possible difficulties, with builds that weren't particularly min-maxed, and the only time I felt as pressed by Annihilation on Apocalypse was when I fought Slave Knight Gael on NG+2 in Dark Souls 3. Not even Malenia in Elden Ring gave me that much trouble. I've done things like kill Orphan of Kos at level 43 with a threaded cane on an arcane build (I needed his parasite for a low-level invasion build, don't judge me). Point is, I'm not _bad_ at these games. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what Tragic meant, but I don't think I beat that boss in a way that the developers intended, at least not for someone who has well-learned the boss's patterns and practiced the execution. What's more, with the way I have always understood Souls games to be, and the games that take inspiration from them, the value and the challenge isn't necessarily all in the high tuning of the bosses, but the creative ways in which people solve the puzzles that the bosses represent. If that's the case, then I'm really not sure how to as effectively solve the puzzle that is Apocalypse boss content as, well, capping DR and raising effective health by a lot, and then finding places to fit damage in here and there. You are certainly going to face a rougher challenge stacking damage to the moon than doing something like this; I don't see damage has the same slot-for-slot value that survivability does, and if it doesn't, or if it doesn't at least come close or have its own niche, then that makes Tragic's argument totally incoherent, unless they're planning on buffing damage so high that you nuke a boss down in a few seconds, or buffing medium and light armor to such a degree that they allow for much higher up-time on a boss than normal. Am I missing something? Was Tragic leaving out significant details or context that might clarify what he meant? If so, could that missing information perhaps be deduced from looking at the design and tuning of the different options available to players? Was Tragic being reasonable when he said what he did, or is he clueless about how his own game works?
I think they've shifted the goalpost several times and continue to do so. Whenever these discussion happen with tragic, they're usually incredibly vague and unhelpful(even from the player end of it) but I don't necessarily blame them for that. At first it sounded like they wanted you to die in a few hits even with high EHP in apoc. Now, after a recent discussion on discord I saw(not in relation to this video or any builds but just tanking in a broad sense) tragic said tank builds are strong and you can manage to be unkillable and DR is meant to be training wheels that allow you to earn/learn how to forgo DR and play more skillfully. If we go off of this most recent discussion, it makes it SOUND like they're ok with big tank builds, however I kind of don't believe that. They killed turret clipping and while I understand that was a wildly effective way to subvert sections of the game, it was literally just speedrunning tech. They killed it bc it allowed players to bypass "intended" parts of their game, and they didn't like that and I can get that. But if that is any indicator, I'm certain that they are not ok with full on facetank, and we will probably see some kind of very small change that makes a very huge difference when it comes to things like Medic healing tank builds, can't say for certain about something like my melee build though. On the other hand though, they did bolster DR values from various sources making it easier to reach the DR cap. So really, lmfao, who tf actually knows. I don't think tragic is clueless by any means, but I'm just not sure he's the greatest at articulating things consistently, which is why we have this dilemma on our hands of how tf to interpret various instances of what he said vs various design choices.
Thank you! This was unbelievably helpful. Now I actually feel like I understand a bit more about the potential for build crafting. I was going way to hard on DR.

Hell, I am only here because of your Melee Only Reddit clip. I followed that thread to your YT video because of how similar our builds were. Even if this unnamed creator did take inspiration from your video they still made their own changes, for better or worse. Callouts like these, even anonymized, just makes you look petty. Just my 2c. 🤷♂
Glad you like the vid and the sheet!
In regards to the other bit on your comment, I already typed up a hefty response to a similar complaint so I recommend looking for a comment posted by a yologaming8113 to see a similar discussion as while you have different ways of bringing up the complaint, your complaint is [kind of] similar and my response, bar a few sections specifically catered to that guy, can applicable here as well.
You deserve WAY more subscribers and views on your content than what you get. Thank you for doing the maths.
Thanks for Das sheet! Hugely helpful with buildcrafting.
as someone who's already done their apoc clear, this shit blew my fuckin mind. I played warframe and still struggle with the numerous multipliers involved when it comes to damage calcs, but you going in depth about how much a small increase can overdrive your EHP is something I'm gonna need to dwell on to fully understand lol.
Fantastic content that doesn't give an ign surface level knowledge dump I can figure out in 5m of gameplay. This shit has depth and will actually improve how the community reacts to these concepts. Good on you man, and thanks.
This was huge for me to understand this topic. Was gonna say damage but kinda feel like that its own topic now
Thanks for posting the doc sheet makes things sooooo much easier for me
Thank you SO much for this! this is what I was trying to figure out with your build vids.
I'm so glad that I found this channel, this was very informative and helpful 👏
As someone who accidentally started with a build similar to what this discusses and moved into a much more popular regenerative build for apocalypse, only to ask "why am I getting bodied so hard I thought I was supposed to be tankier" THIS IS SO VINDICATING. I finally understand what I did wrong when I changed my build, and I feel oddly proud I walked face first into a semi-meta build when I started the game. Thanks for the help!
loving the remnant 2 content lately, keep it up
Thanks for explaining in depth.
Can wait for future build videos.
Never met a cc so deserving of praises. U are legend good sir.
Yes, as others have stated great video. Love the data backing up ur recommendations. Are u planning any videos making a build w/ the best of both worlds i.e. good survivability w/ some decent damage?
Possibly in the future. Right now I have covered all the builds I wanted to cover, basically everything I wanted to test. I was actually done with videos until a new update changes things, with the last video on the melee build. But, as I said in the video, I was really surprised by the comments I was getting, so I was like well maybe I make one more video while waiting for an update.
You're awesome Brother.. you deserve a lot more subs than what you have with the quality of content you're producing. Keep it up.
Yo, great video, love me a easy to use spreadsheet and a banger of an explanation to go with it, keep up the good work.
Best thumbnails on the remnant comunity by Miles! Also the Best data chanel on the Game. Keeo up the good work.
Love your build help so much and the way you explained and showed made since. Showing your work always helps to explain.
Your video, kind of helped me idk if its just me and not being great and understanding more complex mechanics likes these, but i cant seem to get any thing above 50% except with one of my rings wich skyrockets my DR to 148% its so frustrating to me
Nice work. Because of your videos, I made a build using your sheet for hardcore.
Thank you for all of this in depth explanation.

Rusted nav pendent also drops your armor encumbrance allowing you to go full letos and still roll which might be able to save a point or so on barkskin i guess
It's useful to put max barkskin and fortify points in your build so you can add DMG output vs taking 3 years to plink away at a boss
@@seangallagher4519 your ass did not observe the video
Good stuff. Thanks for breaking it apart and making it easy.
really appreciate the video really has helped clear up how exactly things get calculated your earned my sub today :D
The doc is a huge help! Thanks man
Bro we need more content. Keep making builds please
I actually wasn't going to do another build video, but funnily enough I will have another one out in the next day or so. I was making another video to criticize some very popular build choices that doesn't make sense, and I inadvertently made another build just to show why those builds I'm criticizing don't make sense... so... yeah lmfao
@@VashCowaii dude it's so tiresome seeing all the content dump from ppl that don't understand the game, your type of content is very rare, we need that man
@@VashCowaii I'm glad to see you're going to keep doing it
I can I just say how much I appreciate that you cuss? It’s a small gesture, but it means a lot to me.
Thanks for the info, was able to rework my current build to hit the cap effectively.
I see comments like these and just say to my monitor: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. lmfao. Super stoked you were able to take away the info you needed to improve.
Really appreciate you sharing the sheet!
Thabk you I was struggling with the harder difficulties
I'm seeing some different DR and armor numbers with the same build, I'm guessing patches have changed how the UI calculates those two? Idk but either way thank you so much for this and the other two videos u put out after this one. SUPER informative and helpful.
I was so frustrated after using these builds from other videos and still getting smoked in 1 to 2 hits even from regular enemies on apocalypse.
Your video has made QUITE a difference.
How it is calculated is actually the same, armor values have just changed, that's all
Wow thank you so much. I don’t understand why we can’t learn this stuff in game. Where do you find out how each games mechanics work?
Personal and community testing
Very resourceful. Especially the excel sheet. Need me some of that.
Pretty damn good explanation and informative as hell!
Thanks
Please can you make some DPS builds in this style, I now no longer trust any other videos to do with R2 that aren’t yours! What a breath of fresh air. I cannot stand the homogenous click bait content that surrounds games, especially souls likes or games like this. Or those thumb nails where people just look surprised, it makes me want to punch them…
Good video and a true analytical approach to build making, any one can just throw together a build in a game without much thought but this has given me a new perspective for what is actually quality content, as numbers don’t lie ☺️
Great Video, Keep up the good work
Big brained. You are going to be my go-to for Remnant 2 mechanics.
Hi, thanks for sharing the sheet and explaining how things worked.
I used your previous built to help others in thier game, was a lot of fun taking boss hits and still surviving. Now with you sharing the sheet, can customize it a bit for my play style as well. Thanks again. Best of luck with your channel. (PS. Hope you play Amored Core as well so we can get some helpful guides on that too 😅)
Cheers mate, fully explained and real. Gonna try losom later for exp. Great video
If I have full set of radiant armor, my relic, amulet and ring have no defensive stat. Which defensive traits should I prioritise?
So useful. Thank you!
Incredibly useful information that I undoubtedly will never use since I wear 4 damage rings and equip the fae armour because it looks cool.
Very detailed, been loving your vids. New sub for sure.
I fw ur commentary too dawg
Dude thank you so much! I was getting destroyed in full Leto and I thought the game was unbalanced/broken. Now I'm taking on apocalypse and it's really not that bad with the right gear. This video is fantastic, good job!
The moment I realize I like the game about shooting robots with a bow and wood bugs with space guns so much that I spend 10 minutes looking at a data sheet while listening to a math guy crunching numbers.
Thanks for the info, btw.
Great Video! How does shield factor into EHP? Does it also benefit from damage reduction or does DR not kick in until after the shields are depleted?
Great video, makes perfect sense how it all works now 👍
I use your builds buddy , by chance is crystal heart better than resonating heart because I've seen a few builds recently saying that's better ? , I stuck to your build for the minions only build I find apocalypse easy but seems to take forever to get bosses down , any chance you could do a tanky build but using guns this time to maximise damage aswell as defence?
If you can get to the max (80%) DR without crystal heart then often times Resonating Heart is going to be better since it heals up to the same amount per second for twice as long. Crystal Heart's 25% DR is really nice if you're not at the cap, so it comes down to how your built overall
I'm honestly useless at math 😅, so I need to switch to a ring that has that amount of Dr then I can switch to resonating heart, I always play co op so looking for a build that will sustain my friend with high DPS but gets 1 shot , would really like to change relic to resonating heart because of a longer healing up pariod if that makes sense lol
Love intelligent creators. Thumbs up!
Even though I already knew about this information, it is concise enough for me to chuck at my friends who I keep having to pick up lmao
Thanks for sharing knowledge, love your remnant videos👍
Hi, I'm new at his game and dumb as hell, but I want to know if your using a computer to play the game or PS5? Does it make a difference which platform your using?
Thanks your video helped me understand why I was getting nuked. Keep it up man, you know your craft
As much as you shit talk your own summoner build, it did carry me on apocalypse up until venom.
So props to you regardless
I think the surprise comes more from not knowing that these are keywords to use in games like this and not necessarily that they didn't know what do you are specifically was if that makes sense. At the end of the day Dr isn't going to magically make you die less. Understanding other mechanics in the game like s and attack patterns proper item utilization etc. Are ultimately what you need to know to survive with even a meta build in this game
Yes, this is greatly appreciated.
Love the info. Would you mind making a video about survivability trough dodging? Maxing I-frames and evade distance while still being able to tank one hit one apocalypse mode. It works a bit differently than facetanking since you dont need to survive more than one hit so i think it's worth the discussion. Im not talking about a no-hit run kind of thing, but a dodge setup really just needs to be able to tank a single hit for when you screw up so the gear and rings are totally different. It's my preferred way to play in any souls-likes, but i mostly just see videos about how to tank everything.
Use leto armor for apocalypse runs and fun builds for everything else, got it.
You've missed the entire point of this video if that's your takeaway here, bc you're wrong.
Love these videos of yours.
Thanks for the video it has helped me out a lot.
Great video! Thanks for explaining! Through your videos I was able to find the optimal way for me to have enough dr and dmg and the mods and weapons I wanted to use to get apocalypse done. I kinda dont wanna use minions or turret tough, they are strong in many encounters, but often they are bugged or useless, so I went with medic and archon because its fcking cool and archon is kinda bugged too in many situations but I am not so much reliant on it as I would be on my minions or turret.
Lol I love how I know the build you were talking about I think I sae that person's video and the build was ok but yours just take it to where it needs to go .
I can't reach 80% DR for the life of me with the items I currently have but I'll get there
10:30 Fantastic. Love everything about this video. All that said, I have a question regarding developer statements about damage reduction and the intent of play for higher difficulties, particularly Apocalypse:
So, Tragic (sure you know who he is, but just in case, he's the principal developer behind Remnant 2) said that they did not intend for everyone to be tanking through Apocalypse. He said that due in part to a need to respond to community complaints about damage reduction after the Fortify bug fix. He conceded that it was possible that certain armor sets needed to be tuned up, but that, first and foremost, stacking a bunch of DR and general survivability was never meant to be 'necessary' or even the best way to get through Apocalypse, but merely one way of many, and that the primary intent behind the Apocalypse difficulty is that experienced players would find ways to play around or even ignore certain mechanics entirely.
In light of that, and the brilliant argument you've put together here, I feel compelled to ask you, are Tragic's response and argument reasonable? I know I _might_ have been able to beat Apocalypse, given time, _not_ using a build that stacked a high degree of survivability and a lot of relic charge regeneration (I went Medic primary, Archon secondary, with moderately high damage reduction (somewhere around 65%) and around 180 HP for the purpose of replenishing relic charges, which wasn't just for healing, but to rapidly refresh mod power so I could spam high-damage mods (not _that_ high damage, but damage that was reasonable for Apocalypse and that let me play with the playstyle I wanted to play), and doing that plus using Enigma to clear the orbs on Annihilation was what enabled me to beat that boss, but without doing that, I think it might have taken me weeks, at least, of consistent, frequent attempts in order to learn the boss so well that he just never touched me again. I've played a ton of Souls-likes, and beaten all of them several times, some of them on their highest possible difficulties, with builds that weren't particularly min-maxed, and the only time I felt as pressed by Annihilation on Apocalypse was when I fought Slave Knight Gael on NG+2 in Dark Souls 3. Not even Malenia in Elden Ring gave me that much trouble. I've done things like kill Orphan of Kos at level 43 with a threaded cane on an arcane build (I needed his parasite for a low-level invasion build, don't judge me). Point is, I'm not _bad_ at these games.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what Tragic meant, but I don't think I beat that boss in a way that the developers intended, at least not for someone who has well-learned the boss's patterns and practiced the execution. What's more, with the way I have always understood Souls games to be, and the games that take inspiration from them, the value and the challenge isn't necessarily all in the high tuning of the bosses, but the creative ways in which people solve the puzzles that the bosses represent. If that's the case, then I'm really not sure how to as effectively solve the puzzle that is Apocalypse boss content as, well, capping DR and raising effective health by a lot, and then finding places to fit damage in here and there. You are certainly going to face a rougher challenge stacking damage to the moon than doing something like this; I don't see damage has the same slot-for-slot value that survivability does, and if it doesn't, or if it doesn't at least come close or have its own niche, then that makes Tragic's argument totally incoherent, unless they're planning on buffing damage so high that you nuke a boss down in a few seconds, or buffing medium and light armor to such a degree that they allow for much higher up-time on a boss than normal.
Am I missing something? Was Tragic leaving out significant details or context that might clarify what he meant? If so, could that missing information perhaps be deduced from looking at the design and tuning of the different options available to players? Was Tragic being reasonable when he said what he did, or is he clueless about how his own game works?
I think they've shifted the goalpost several times and continue to do so. Whenever these discussion happen with tragic, they're usually incredibly vague and unhelpful(even from the player end of it) but I don't necessarily blame them for that. At first it sounded like they wanted you to die in a few hits even with high EHP in apoc. Now, after a recent discussion on discord I saw(not in relation to this video or any builds but just tanking in a broad sense) tragic said tank builds are strong and you can manage to be unkillable and DR is meant to be training wheels that allow you to earn/learn how to forgo DR and play more skillfully.
If we go off of this most recent discussion, it makes it SOUND like they're ok with big tank builds, however I kind of don't believe that. They killed turret clipping and while I understand that was a wildly effective way to subvert sections of the game, it was literally just speedrunning tech. They killed it bc it allowed players to bypass "intended" parts of their game, and they didn't like that and I can get that. But if that is any indicator, I'm certain that they are not ok with full on facetank, and we will probably see some kind of very small change that makes a very huge difference when it comes to things like Medic healing tank builds, can't say for certain about something like my melee build though.
On the other hand though, they did bolster DR values from various sources making it easier to reach the DR cap. So really, lmfao, who tf actually knows.
I don't think tragic is clueless by any means, but I'm just not sure he's the greatest at articulating things consistently, which is why we have this dilemma on our hands of how tf to interpret various instances of what he said vs various design choices.
@@VashCowaii Okay. That makes sense. Thanks for the thoughtful response.
this is insane
congratulations.
Thank you! This was unbelievably helpful. Now I actually feel like I understand a bit more about the potential for build crafting. I was going way to hard on DR.
