    When you have Hunting Blades don't use them at long range, especially since you have the Vicious Cycle boon. The longer you are able to get the enemy in the vortex the more damage you do, if half of the cast time is spent trying to reach the enemy you aren't unlocking it's full potential of damage.

  • @AxtonLovesHisTurret
    @AxtonLovesHisTurret 4 года назад +6

    NL, I understand that you were playing safe, but you wasted a lot of damage from your cast this run by firing from so far away. The blade rifts have a set duration, and that duration is ticking down whether it's hitting an enemy or just seeking one. Since you fired them from far away, their duration was probably half gone or worse by the time they started hitting. That's half of the duration that it COULD be doing the "tick damage up by 1 per hit" effect. Optimization, yay!

    @TheNotSoIrishGamer 4 года назад

    around 9:30 NL starts talking about the damage bonus (specifically from the butterfly). As far as I'm aware any percent increase is based off of the base damage. Say, for example, your attack does 100 damage and you get the boon that increases your attack damage by say 50%, if you then got a boon that increase your dash damage by another 50%, that doesn't mean your dash does 50% extra of 150 (your attack damage) it means when you attack you add 50% of the 100 and when you dash attack you add an additional 50% of the 100, so a dash attack would deal 200 damage, as apposed to dealing 225 (50% extra of 150).

    24:15 While "Who's Next" is undoubtedly an underrated and arguably classic rock album, I disagree with it being called "one of the best of 1972". That year was one of the finest, nay, the finest year for albums in that era. The Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt, John Lennon, Aretha Franklin, David Bowie, Paul Simon, and Stevie Wonder were all releasing exceptional albums that year. Due to all this competition even an album as worthy as "Who's Next" is, in my opinion, crowded out of the limelight.
    Also, it was released in 1971.
