    Diablo, the drunk champ?
  • PT_99PT_99 Member Posts: 5,760 ★★★★★
    I do have r2 diablo
    But damn never thought that he can beat Onslaught that much on that kind of node, that heavy into heavy is cool.

    But I mostly believe in sp1 spam to stop the poisons then big fat sp2 burst to finish off fights.

    So, there's a whole end game thing where you can pause (with sp1/interrupt the drink) and/or refresh (with sp2) your sp3 Poison in heavy buff matches, but honestly not much on the war map is making it past sp3 really so far

    But.. aside from crazy DOT (Passive with KP/RS Synergy) and insane damage mitigation/sustainability.. the coolest thing about him is how many different matches he can take in AW:
    Korg, Onslaught, Serpent (depends on node set), Attuma, Red Skull, Domino, Thing, Terrax, Gorr, Adam.. the list goes on

    I will stop sleeping on Diablo when I start running recoil, so, probably never.

    Hey, sincerely.. I respect your opinion, but serious question - why don't you like Recoil?
    Do you play BG competitively? But honestly, even if so you can use Recoils for other games modes?

    Edit: I do actually turn them off for long form stuff (most recent was Epoch), but that's about it honestly.. everything else I have them on

    diablord is a beast he was a r4 candidate for a while literally can not die
  • hungryhungrybbqhungryhungrybbq Member Posts: 2,380 ★★★★★
    Technically.. this is not off topic because it's from the same War and also falls under underrated AW attackers?

    He is a better champion without recoils.
    It's super forceful to run MD with recoils. And he wants that MD. (A very long time recoil player)

    Umm, with all respect.. no
    Haha I would be so bold to say that I don't think anyone agrees he is better without Recoil lol.. he may actually receive the most benefit in the game of any character

    - 60% more damage on basics and Poison
    - 90% more damage on specials and I believe special related Poison
    - literally heals constantly from them
    - takes 30% less damage from ALL sources with them 😂

    Also, I run Recoil plus MD 5

    Two reasons. I have historically run a lot of mystics and I feel there are so many elements of the game that ask you to throw a lot of specials, whether it’s the matchup, nodes or the need to access a certain champ’s utility.

    And second, I just don’t want to pay units to flip recoil on and off. I agree that it’s great for certain champs and content but the range of applications is just too narrow for me — if I have to pay for each change.
  • hungryhungrybbqhungryhungrybbq Member Posts: 2,380 ★★★★★
    DW, MD and Recoil are essentially a pick 2 of 3.. which is fine, as I have 2 load outs titled: Recoil/MD and Recoil/DW to swap from
  • SirGamesBondSirGamesBond Member Posts: 6,593 ★★★★★
    I don't run recoils anymore.
    Switching masteries regularly was never my style and I have enjoyed diablo outside BGs. He will be great in GC. Nobody will use recoils and a lot of players will run him. Including me.
    I don't like running recoils with md.
    I rather run 3 coagulate and always runs 3 inequity + 5 limber.
    Don't need the extra cost of units to cater 1 champ. For most Mystics, md and recoils don't go side by side.

    Yeah, in a Recoil/MD build I don't have Limber maxed or Inequity.. to me Limber is mostly defensive, but I do use it to get the minimum prerequisites for MD tree

    But.. I don't switch masteries regularly either - there are only two reasons to spec out of a recoil build imo.. BGs (but only if you are actively pushing for a competitive placement - otherwise, who cares?) or long content like Epoch.. AQ, AW, Solo content, Arena.. anything else in the game you will be more successful with Recoil active (regardless of champions)

    Hey, as I said I will respect your opinion.. I've been in many Mastery debates over the years and they usually don't go anywhere:)

    There are certain matches that would be unsuccessful with them on.. but it's wayyy less than you think
    I'll give you Spiral vs Serpent.. Wigra vs.. anyone 😂.. but I'm failing to think of much more atm tbh

    Those titles specify which main build it is.. but I have other things happening in each.. for example, if I need Despair.. I have planted in the DW build, etc. so I may swap for a different reason than actual MD or DW.. but I only really swap occasionally for war attack (it's my favorite game mode).. other modes, I really don't spend the units

    You can save a specific mastery build to your BG deck and then change your regular masteries without affecting BG. So you can run recoils regularly and no recoils in BG without swapping back and forth.
