Hey Jules. I don’t know if you’ll end up seeing this or not, but I want to say thank you for all the positivity in your videos the last few years. I struggle with anxiety/depression and more, but whenever I see you’ve put something up, I watch it straight away. It’s been comforting to me. Again, thank you for doing what you.
Pro tip: In Deus Ex there's another implant slot with two options that can make other implants suck a lot less. 1: You install a mod that reduces the power usage of other ones. Meaning you can make it more viable to explore for longer than the hazmat suit lasts for by using the environmental resistance. 2: Instead you install one that massively increases the EFFECT of other mods. Meaning that for a crazy high power draw you can make the environmental resistance mode highly effective while only having it on the basic upgrade level.
You could have made this video only about Cyberpunk and had too many items for a list. To date there are some perks that either aren't working as advertised or just don't actually do anything. Also Jules, just wanted to say thank you. I'm having a rough day and your little messages at the end of your videos are always nice to hear. Keep kicking ass, my man. You're awesome.
Or items you can only get once, that you destroyed or sold. Cyberpunk letting you dismantle iconic weapons without telling you the base level item is required for crafting.
@@GabePuratekuta they are required but you don't know it and destroy it. Example: Metal Gear Rising Revengance, you can destroy the stairs in the second level but you can't progress if you do
Hi-Fi rush, the one chip that removes the skill dash item grab effect. It does nothing else and was "Just to make sure you are reading the descriptions"
That Scrapper perk from Cyberpunk 2077 was the first thing that came to mind. Junk items are basically how you make money in the early game, so denying yourself that income source is really unhelpful. Plus, the Scrapper perk is available early on, so (pre-1.5) it was really easy to unknowingly sabotage your build.
Worse, there was a quest reward worth 10k - that was 'Junk'. The best item to sell in the entire game, and Scrapper just took it from you. (Oh, there's a swimming perk in that skill tree too - just as useless. There is exactly one place on the entire map would where it even could in *theory* make a difference.)
Just to clarify, not sleeping with head trauma is a myth. While you should seek medical attention, doctors will encourage you to rest and sleep. -paramedic
@@chrisschack9716 Not really. Unless you have a rare brain bleed, the likely scenario is that you have a concussion. A concussion won't worsen itself without further head trauma, so sleep and rest is the best way to go.
The wallrun ability in Dying light 2 got me killed so many times bc the method of grabbing a ledge was the precise same as wallrunning, and the only difference that decided which you performed was the precise angle that you approached the jump. If you had limited space and had to jump to the side, there was a good chance you were wallrunning to your death.
Not sure if it's been done or not but how about a video on the top gameplay mechanics/skills (in-game) you could exploit to make the game too easy. A few of these could come from Skyrim like the sneaky archer build that can have you with such high sneaking and archery that you become a god of death with your bow. But probably the best mechanic/s to exploit are the alchemy/blacksmithing/enchanting ones. Where you can do a loop of potion making, blacksmithing, and enchanting until you create armor so overpowered that you become a god: to where you can dish out soo much damage that you can one-punch any enemy in the game, could fall from any height but your crazy regen stats more or less negates any damage you take, have such high sneak buffs that you could suplex an old man in the middle of town and no one will see you. It more or less breaks the game and removes any challenge from it at all as enemies can no longer hurt you due to how quickly your health recovers nor can they defend themselves as you instantly cut down even the strongest of enemies even if they are blocking to defend themselves. In the console Fallout titles, especially in Fallout 4, you can exploit the sneaking and long range perks to become an unstoppable sniper that can pick off multiple enemies before they even have a chance to know where you are. Combined with the weapon crafting, you could build yourself one hell of a long rifle that lets you dome enemies without having to get anywhere near them. This becomes even more useful in gamemodes like Survival where damage is overall increased for everyone and everything meaning most enemies you encounter in the game aside from some of the biggest and most armored ones can all be taken out with a single well placed bullet to their brain-pan. Hell, with high enough sneaking, even enemies in Power Armor are no match for you as you can sneak up to them and pickpocket the Fusion Core right out of their suits of armor and force them out of it, leaving them vulnerable to a quick shot to the head. If there is anything I leaned from playing Bethesda titles (Fallout/Elder Scrolls) is that usually going the sneaky/long ranged build will surely make the game laughably easy for you once you've sunk a little time into making the right build.
I’m reminded of this one after that phase ability in Ratchet and Clank but essentially game mechanics that didn’t show up again until the end of the game
Games you believe never got better after a certain iteration! Symphony of the Night was the last Castlevania game I liked, and it defined so much about Castlevania in decades to comes. I haven't liked another Castlevania game since, really, even the ones that ape SOTN. Good games objectively, but they never really got anywhere for me.
I just have to say that sleeping after a head injury is actually a GOOD idea as long as the person does not have other symptoms from the injury such as dilated pupils, slurred speech, confusion, or instability while walking. Best practice after a head injury is seeing a doctor but as long as they do not show any of those signs its actually beneficial for the person to get rest. The only reason they said to not fall asleep is the whole passing out into a coma or dying is hard to notice when someone is asleep. So seek medical aid and, if cleared, sleeping is a great thing to do.
Not the version you were talking about but the animated Hobbit movie by Rankin-Bass is great. Way better than the live-action version and more faithful to the book. It doesn't add anything, like a pointless romance, and the only things it takes away don't really effect the story that much. While it might not count as a skill: the Daemon Prince upgrade for Eliphas in the Chaos campaign of Dawn of War: Dark crusade actually make him weaker than he was before you take it. Mostly because it gets rid of the nine upgrades you need in order to have it available to pick in the first place.
Ooof! Relatable! I love games like Horizon Forbidden West that let you reset and re-allocate your skill points as you play to adjust to your play style and get a better stronger build.
Night vision with crouching in fallout 4 It makes sneaking indoors and outdoors nearly impossible since you cannot see anything around light sources and it cannot be disabled
Question... Do Graugs show up in Middle-Earth:SoM for the Steam? Just checking if the game was ported from the two systems mentioned, or is one that doesn't have the problem.
Am I the only one who remembers Graugs? I owned the PS3, 360, and PS4 version of the game and I saw graugs in all 3 versions...... they weren't as abundant in the PS3 and 360 as in the PS4 version but they were still there and you could ride them
The way that these skills are represented within a videogame is usually the reason why most people end up buying them, they sound cool, until you go to use them and find out that they only sound cool but are really worthless. Yeah, been there, done that.
Cyberpunk actually did not have an issue on Ps4 it was people with 4k Tvs trying to make it work in 4K when the devs said 4k was not ready because they were forced to rush it out the door. And Daggerfall actually had alot of things that were timed. They were just all elements that happened in the background or were things that most of the time you didn't relize your time expired untill you became a werewolf or a vampire.
I’d say dauntless is a good perk(depending on MMR 3-4 star it works a lot) as compared to Dewclaw in hunt since all dewclaw does is change the bow melee from a smack with the bow to a stab with an arrow which is what the bow should just have by default
I've got one that you missed, presuming you stretch the definition of skill a little. In the game Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2 for anyone non-British) you had the option of buying a voicebox for your faithful steed Steve the Ridepod. I have one word to say about this decision, DON'T. This is absolutely the worst decision you can possibly make as with this equipped he simply WILL NOT STFU and calling his mechanical voice grating is like saying shoving your face into a belt sander set on high is a little rough, oh and no, you can't mute him. As Steve will be one of your easiest ways of clearing 99% of the levels in this game (especially if you're medal hunting for speed clears) this quickly becomes pure sonic torture leading to you questioning your sanity for buying this flaming pile of dog sh*t.
Um, your Graug thing is totally wrong too. Hell, my youtube channel has video footage of me doing lots of graug related stuff on PS3 both in scripted missions & in random play. Hell, half the main missions feature a graug or white graug. There's a full DLC largely about them too. Perhaps people were confused because the places that spawn graugs are NOT guranteed spawns.
Daggerfall had lots of timed missions with limited number of days to complete. The medical skill was still useless, though. A few hours would almost never make a difference.
A skill pissing me off right now is the wall jump in Dying Light. I have never once used it constructively and yet it has killed me more times than any enemy in the game.
Actually no. There's no risk that come with sleeping with a concussion and it's actually beneficial as they patient is less likely to move or stress the head exacerbating the injury.
One Piece game is really good and i had no problem with it, you know lock picking skills need to be improved to have better at lock picking Magical world with much stronger body's yes sleeping helps Why would grenades not have less time before blowing up how would you increase its time
Krieg's light the fuse skill was a particularly annoyingly useless skill as the idea of replacing your fight for your life stage with one where you run around throwing dynamite at enemies does sound cool, until you release the already feeble explosion damage it does do doesn't stack with your multipliers making killing a single enemy in this mode near impossible
Items that were useless till they weren't. That one item that did nothing at all until somehow it nuked the one secret boss in the game and you don't know why
Just about every faction quest in Daggerfall was timed. If you did anything outside the main quest, there would probably be a time limit. The Medical skill also made it easier to determine that you had a disease. Diseases in Daggerfall could kill you with no warning while you were fast traveling.
I was initially very confused by the inclusion of Graug Hunter. I only played Shadow of Mordor on PC, and had an absolute blast riding those guys and just wrecking face! My sympathies to those earlier console players
i just remembered one that sort of fits: in Skyrim, the "lockpick" perk called "wax key". all it does is give you a copy of the key for any door you have ALREADY picked the lock of! since 90% of the locks in the game DON'T RE-LOCK, it's utterly pointless. in fact, it actually makes it HARDER to improve your lockpick SKILL to higher levels, because repeatedly picking the lock of a store is the BEST way to improve it!
And even so, you'll always want to unlock doors that do lock again for more skill since there's just not enough locks to get to 100 easily if you're any good at lockpicking.
TBH, Skyrim's whole lockpicking tree in general. _Some_ of the perks are OK, but they require you to invest perk points into prerequisite perks to unlock them, making them more expensive than they're worth. It's the 'whoop-de-doodle-do' tree for pissing away perk points pointlessly. I'd only gently suggest it as an option if one has some sort of co-ordination issue that makes it difficult to pick locks, or for RP purposes and on the other hand, leaving lockpicking and the like harder would be better for immersion in any case, it gets easier to pick locks the higher your skill level so that's sufficient for role play class progression purposes I think. The better option for RP purposes would be to get a perk overhaul mod if possible, like Ordinator. I've not done a lockpicking playthrough (I really should, now that I've re-checked the perks). Much more interesting that way. It gets you perks that can mess with automatons, set traps, etc.
@@ThatSoddingGamer a nifty "exploit" i learned about: if you join the Thieves Guild and do the quest line, you will eventually get a quest to take "the Skeleton Key" back to where it belongs. if you simply don't take it back, you can keep using it indefinitely. it CANNOT BREAK. so you can pick every lock easily, regardless of your skill level!
@@ericb3157 Yeah, there is that option, might be worth it if one is really bad at lockpicking, so it's a good tip in that sense. Otherwise it's a fairly superfluous item, given how easy lockpicking is generally, and how common lockpicks actually are. In most of my playthroughs that last a god while I usually end up with over 99 picks without ever buying any.
Most of the thief skills end up useless or redundant. Take base sneak skill - just one point for 25%(20% unofficial patch) improvement then enchant/use equipment with improved sneak plus natural/trainer/skill book sneak leveling. Even the perk that prevents the activation of traps becomes useless once your HP and armor gets high. Only perks I find actually worth it are stronger potions in alchemy and better damage in sneak attacks. Then there is enchant which makes a lot of thief perks useless. Do we max three skill trees to get the base benefits of sneak, lockpick, and pickpocket or do we max a single tree that will do the same plus the perk of double enchant? In fact enchant very much breaks the game's whole perk system. It's the one tree that should be maxed ASAP which is easy to do with or without exploits or mods. Doesn't matter if it's a petty or black/grand gem because the amount of skill xp gained when enchanting is always the same unlike smithing and alchemy which is based on item worth. Even if you fill a grand gem with a wolf soul it will level up enchant the same as a proper grand gem.
Almost all the etiquettes on Shadowrun: Returns, Dragonfall, and Hong Kong. If you go and spend points on Charisma with the hope of unlocking dialogue options, what you find out is that those options are only unlocked by acquiring the "etiquettes", and among them there are "Shadowrunner" and "Gang", which you would think that as a Shadowrunner that has to live in a world of gangs, they would be super useful for you, but not, not at freaking all! Because at best they can be used twice through the whole game! And then you are there looking at all the other times you could have used something else, or feeling like a fool for trying to use any of them because there's always a way around to get what you want without having to use a darn etiquette!
While I agree that it would be better if the single etiquettes had more use cases I wouldn't call them useless skills, because you get them for free as a side effect of upgrading your charisma stat (which is also used for some flat numbers charisma checks and as a prerequisite to level up spirit control and conjuring magic). Also, whenever an effect-based dialogue option appears, it actually is the best solution for the dialogue. Sometimes you can still convince the person without those options, but either the outcome is less helpful or you have to pay a bribe and sometimes you have to find an entirely different solution (like fighting someone or hacking a computer to get the information). I agree though that the etiquette system makes the charisma stat a little underpowered in the game if you pick it solely for being persuasive without intending to also use charisma-based magic.
I really regretted getting the XP boost perks when I played Fallout 3 for the first time. You might level up a bit quicker, but that just means you're wasting more XP when you're max level, while you miss out on perks that are actually useful throughout the game.
I wonder how many learned real quick to NEVER EVER EVER get the Lead Belly perk or similar variation of rad removal in food and water because radaway is so much easier to find and buy. Another useless perk is the improved gun bash perk in FO 4. If you need to bash a lot then make an unarmed/melee build or find/improve your weapons.
So many games have these types of perks “earn more xp per kill” etc. i always have to google whether or not they’re worth it because as soon as I hit max level I lose interest in the game. No more progression = no more play
I hate seeing these in games. Even if the game doesn't have a level cap and/or it's unreasonably high, it's always a pain to figure out if the benefit pays for its cost since experience requirements tend to multiply a certain amount each level. IMO they should always tell you teh math right on the skill. How many levels it will take for it to pay itself off, etc.
@@dak5027 That was one of the reasons I didn't finish Fallout New Vegas: playing just didn't feel rewarding. And the game was a total bugfest and I wasn't gripped by the story no matter if everyone says it's so great.
@@Ghalion666 True. A XP perk may say 25% more XP but how much of that 25% is literal because of things like the effect of being level 30 but not getting the regular XP gain against level 30 enemies as one does at level 1. More times than not players will hit a wall on regular XP gain long before nearing max level and no amount of XP boosts will help.
The Phoenix perk from the first Borderlands. It's the end of the Siren's Elemental tree, and surrounds you in an Elemental damage aura every time you make a kill. The thing is, it's invisible to YOU, and there's no indicator of whether it's on or not at the moment. And it has a tendency to kill you because you move too close to an explosive barrel while it's up, most frequently when trying to loot corpses after a fight.
@@Alloveck yeah, it wasn't obvious what was happening for a while, I thought there was some super hidden sniper or something. I got through the rest of the game, but damn I wish I'd specced her differently
@@patriciasmiley9131 And it's not just that skill or character or game. I couldn't count the amount of times I've died across the entire series without knowing what exactly went wrong. Borderlands is the undisputed king of "wait, what killed me?"
There are two indicators for the Phoenix skill. The first being the pheonix symbol that shows above the grenades and the second being that enemies will be lit on fire when you're close to them
@@drfake1110 there was no symbol on my HUD, it might have been patched in later, which is definitely a plus. My issues mostly came after all the enemies were dead, so sadly the ignition wasn't happening to the corpses, that would have been a nice touch, though.
Dauntless in Hunt Showdown is actually used quite often in high mmr lobbies. Being able to immediately get rid of a thrown consumable, especially choke bombs when youre burning a hunter, is insanely valuable if you have the game sense for how long it was cooked for. If you wanted a truly unusable trait, try Adrenaline

Fallout 4. Cannibalism. It makes you an addict to that tasty, tasty human flesh.
Um, your Graug thing is totally wrong too. Hell, my youtube channel has video footage of me doing lots of graug related stuff on PS3 both in scripted missions & in random play. Hell, half the main missions feature a graug or white graug. There's a full DLC largely about them too.
Perhaps people were confused because the places that spawn graugs are NOT guranteed spawns.

The idiot savant perk in fallout 4. The noise it made literally got so old I began to get just angry when i heard it.
Daggerfall had lots of timed missions with limited number of days to complete. The medical skill was still useless, though. A few hours would almost never make a difference.
The animated Hobbit movie is glorious

A skill pissing me off right now is the wall jump in Dying Light. I have never once used it constructively and yet it has killed me more times than any enemy in the game.

Actually no. There's no risk that come with sleeping with a concussion and it's actually beneficial as they patient is less likely to move or stress the head exacerbating the injury.
i was pissed when i got the groug hunter perk and couldntvride onei sent so many angry leters to the devolpers about that
One Piece game is really good and i had no problem with it, you know lock picking skills need to be improved to have better at lock picking
Magical world with much stronger body's yes sleeping helps
Why would grenades not have less time before blowing up how would you increase its time

8 bosses that took away your ability to fight back!
Times you lost your partner in the campaign and i have one... dom from gears of war
Krieg's light the fuse skill was a particularly annoyingly useless skill as the idea of replacing your fight for your life stage with one where you run around throwing dynamite at enemies does sound cool, until you release the already feeble explosion damage it does do doesn't stack with your multipliers making killing a single enemy in this mode near impossible
My suggestion is sexiest video game characters! Think Lara Croft, yuffie and tifa
How about skills you wished you could've got earlier?
Items that were useless till they weren't. That one item that did nothing at all until somehow it nuked the one secret boss in the game and you don't know why
Pretty sure the golden egg from RE4 counts there.
That's a good one actually
Worth mentioning that you don’t actually have to earn the Graug Hunter skill. You get it through a required story mission
An it's before getting the drake skill, which I enjoyed... just as a change of pace from hunting/turning Orcs..
@@connersalmon9167that drake skill was a life saver when you had yo get around
@@connersalmon9167 Drakes are only in the sequel Shadow of War, not the original Shadow of Mordor.
Just about every faction quest in Daggerfall was timed. If you did anything outside the main quest, there would probably be a time limit. The Medical skill also made it easier to determine that you had a disease. Diseases in Daggerfall could kill you with no warning while you were fast traveling.
I was initially very confused by the inclusion of Graug Hunter. I only played Shadow of Mordor on PC, and had an absolute blast riding those guys and just wrecking face! My sympathies to those earlier console players
I only played on the ps4 version and I was confused too
i just remembered one that sort of fits:
in Skyrim, the "lockpick" perk called "wax key".
all it does is give you a copy of the key for any door you have ALREADY picked the lock of!
since 90% of the locks in the game DON'T RE-LOCK, it's utterly pointless.
in fact, it actually makes it HARDER to improve your lockpick SKILL to higher levels, because repeatedly picking the lock of a store is the BEST way to improve it!
And even so, you'll always want to unlock doors that do lock again for more skill since there's just not enough locks to get to 100 easily if you're any good at lockpicking.
TBH, Skyrim's whole lockpicking tree in general. _Some_ of the perks are OK, but they require you to invest perk points into prerequisite perks to unlock them, making them more expensive than they're worth.
It's the 'whoop-de-doodle-do' tree for pissing away perk points pointlessly. I'd only gently suggest it as an option if one has some sort of co-ordination issue that makes it difficult to pick locks, or for RP purposes and on the other hand, leaving lockpicking and the like harder would be better for immersion in any case, it gets easier to pick locks the higher your skill level so that's sufficient for role play class progression purposes I think.
The better option for RP purposes would be to get a perk overhaul mod if possible, like Ordinator. I've not done a lockpicking playthrough (I really should, now that I've re-checked the perks). Much more interesting that way. It gets you perks that can mess with automatons, set traps, etc.
@@ThatSoddingGamer a nifty "exploit" i learned about:
if you join the Thieves Guild and do the quest line, you will eventually get a quest to take "the Skeleton Key" back to where it belongs.
if you simply don't take it back, you can keep using it indefinitely.
it CANNOT BREAK.
so you can pick every lock easily, regardless of your skill level!
@@ericb3157 Yeah, there is that option, might be worth it if one is really bad at lockpicking, so it's a good tip in that sense. Otherwise it's a fairly superfluous item, given how easy lockpicking is generally, and how common lockpicks actually are. In most of my playthroughs that last a god while I usually end up with over 99 picks without ever buying any.
Most of the thief skills end up useless or redundant. Take base sneak skill - just one point for 25%(20% unofficial patch) improvement then enchant/use equipment with improved sneak plus natural/trainer/skill book sneak leveling. Even the perk that prevents the activation of traps becomes useless once your HP and armor gets high. Only perks I find actually worth it are stronger potions in alchemy and better damage in sneak attacks.
Then there is enchant which makes a lot of thief perks useless. Do we max three skill trees to get the base benefits of sneak, lockpick, and pickpocket or do we max a single tree that will do the same plus the perk of double enchant?
In fact enchant very much breaks the game's whole perk system. It's the one tree that should be maxed ASAP which is easy to do with or without exploits or mods. Doesn't matter if it's a petty or black/grand gem because the amount of skill xp gained when enchanting is always the same unlike smithing and alchemy which is based on item worth. Even if you fill a grand gem with a wolf soul it will level up enchant the same as a proper grand gem.
The top 10 ladders in video games that seem to go on forever.
Pretty sure the mgs3 ladder after bee boss (iirc) is the longest haha
What a thrill...
Almost all the etiquettes on Shadowrun: Returns, Dragonfall, and Hong Kong. If you go and spend points on Charisma with the hope of unlocking dialogue options, what you find out is that those options are only unlocked by acquiring the "etiquettes", and among them there are "Shadowrunner" and "Gang", which you would think that as a Shadowrunner that has to live in a world of gangs, they would be super useful for you, but not, not at freaking all! Because at best they can be used twice through the whole game! And then you are there looking at all the other times you could have used something else, or feeling like a fool for trying to use any of them because there's always a way around to get what you want without having to use a darn etiquette!
While I agree that it would be better if the single etiquettes had more use cases I wouldn't call them useless skills, because you get them for free as a side effect of upgrading your charisma stat (which is also used for some flat numbers charisma checks and as a prerequisite to level up spirit control and conjuring magic). Also, whenever an effect-based dialogue option appears, it actually is the best solution for the dialogue. Sometimes you can still convince the person without those options, but either the outcome is less helpful or you have to pay a bribe and sometimes you have to find an entirely different solution (like fighting someone or hacking a computer to get the information). I agree though that the etiquette system makes the charisma stat a little underpowered in the game if you pick it solely for being persuasive without intending to also use charisma-based magic.
@@chrisrudolf9839 once or twice, dude. Just once or twice.
I really regretted getting the XP boost perks when I played Fallout 3 for the first time. You might level up a bit quicker, but that just means you're wasting more XP when you're max level, while you miss out on perks that are actually useful throughout the game.
I wonder how many learned real quick to NEVER EVER EVER get the Lead Belly perk or similar variation of rad removal in food and water because radaway is so much easier to find and buy. Another useless perk is the improved gun bash perk in FO 4. If you need to bash a lot then make an unarmed/melee build or find/improve your weapons.
So many games have these types of perks “earn more xp per kill” etc. i always have to google whether or not they’re worth it because as soon as I hit max level I lose interest in the game. No more progression = no more play
I hate seeing these in games. Even if the game doesn't have a level cap and/or it's unreasonably high, it's always a pain to figure out if the benefit pays for its cost since experience requirements tend to multiply a certain amount each level.
IMO they should always tell you teh math right on the skill. How many levels it will take for it to pay itself off, etc.
@@dak5027 That was one of the reasons I didn't finish Fallout New Vegas: playing just didn't feel rewarding. And the game was a total bugfest and I wasn't gripped by the story no matter if everyone says it's so great.
@@Ghalion666 True. A XP perk may say 25% more XP but how much of that 25% is literal because of things like the effect of being level 30 but not getting the regular XP gain against level 30 enemies as one does at level 1. More times than not players will hit a wall on regular XP gain long before nearing max level and no amount of XP boosts will help.
The Phoenix perk from the first Borderlands. It's the end of the Siren's Elemental tree, and surrounds you in an Elemental damage aura every time you make a kill.
The thing is, it's invisible to YOU, and there's no indicator of whether it's on or not at the moment.
And it has a tendency to kill you because you move too close to an explosive barrel while it's up, most frequently when trying to loot corpses after a fight.
The first in a long line of Borderlands skills that can be as much of a liability as an asset.
@@Alloveck yeah, it wasn't obvious what was happening for a while, I thought there was some super hidden sniper or something.
I got through the rest of the game, but damn I wish I'd specced her differently
@@patriciasmiley9131 And it's not just that skill or character or game. I couldn't count the amount of times I've died across the entire series without knowing what exactly went wrong. Borderlands is the undisputed king of "wait, what killed me?"
There are two indicators for the Phoenix skill. The first being the pheonix symbol that shows above the grenades and the second being that enemies will be lit on fire when you're close to them
@@drfake1110 there was no symbol on my HUD, it might have been patched in later, which is definitely a plus.
My issues mostly came after all the enemies were dead, so sadly the ignition wasn't happening to the corpses, that would have been a nice touch, though.
Dauntless in Hunt Showdown is actually used quite often in high mmr lobbies. Being able to immediately get rid of a thrown consumable, especially choke bombs when youre burning a hunter, is insanely valuable if you have the game sense for how long it was cooked for.
If you wanted a truly unusable trait, try Adrenaline
