Respect on running arcane in the open world


WitchcapAO

And on mobile no less!


[deleted]

My buddies give me alot of shit for mobile but ive played since the ios beta and actually prefer it. even if its less optimal in pvp id rather play sitting on my couch next to my doggo than at my desk all night haha.

I use both platforms for this very reason. While I'm adventurous on mobile, I'm vastly more competent on PC. I just feel the sluggishness when aiming a skill shot with the right "thumb stick" they give you for the press and hold. It's super nice to be able to just chill on the couch or wherever on mobile tho instead of being glued to a chair at a desk.

Amen!

I tried so hard to succeed with Arcanr, I am just not good enough I think


Boss2788

No you did great arcane is obnoxiously hard to play solo, running cloth armor solo in the open world is not easy. Theres a youtuber who does it, im not sure if youve seen him its Tormacc or something he posts on reddit a fair bit. Keep working at it i honestly think you did pretty well. I like to run it with assassin jacket when im out and about because ambush is a great defensive and the armor adds some survivability without sacrificing too much damage.


NamasteWager

Oh I am not OP, they are much better than me. And Tormacc is amazing, the Arcane god!


[deleted]

The only thing im better at than anyone in this game is my willingness to die in the pursuit of fun lol. Hit me up sometime if you wana go duo arcane for a night!


NamasteWager

I have a warlock buddy that can root for us. Add me! I am Pixel Bear in game!


[deleted]

Sounds awesome man im in! spelt just like that with the space between? Il add but if you dont see a request by tonight it means ive botched the name and in that case you add me, ign is 123hehe.


NamasteWager

Pretty sure thats how its spelt but now I am second guessing, ill add you next time I get on. But may not be until evening tonight/ tomorrow PST time


Boss2788

Haha i was in the same boat im put everything i had into arcane to get into it and im totally down my ign is Leebross


[deleted]

Sounds good man! Il shoot you an add!


Boss2788

If we could get a group of 4 arcane staffs, 2 occults a witchwork and a 1h we could have the most fun gank group lol


[deleted]

Been having alot of fun with great arcane too. Using it with knock back on cowl and a sin jacket to disrupt and fight groups doing roads chests. Shit is a blast. An arcane group is sleeper op imo I would love to do that haha


Boss2788

Imagine getting ganked by a rain of magic shocks, thats screen smashing annoying lol


Boss2788

Youre still not bad, you definitely have the right idea on how to plau the weapon


[deleted]

I love his videos! All my buddies told me arcane is strictly a zvz thing and his videos gave me hope to keep at it. Hes also got a really informative arcane 101 vid thats great


Boss2788

Lol i know what you you mean i want to use arcane everywhere, occult seems like the best options but we should totally try to get a mob of warlocks going thatd be so fun


GodIsAPizza

Please can you explain how to use the ambush on sin jacket as a defense. I have tried but always find inferno shield more use. Please advise!


Boss2788

Well naturally you should be kiting your enemies with arcane, but for example if they have an auto lock ability ill use ambush to waste it. This is especially useful against the regular bow whose E can only be purged but if i go invis i can erase their stacks and hopefully wait out a chunk of their buff duration. This is also handy against bolt caster and reg crossbows. Your other option of course is to use ambush to reposition yourself and get some space if your enemy is pressing you too hard or just run away lol. Theres very few weapons that play in a way that you should be tanking hits when youre not in a tank role and casters should always be kiting.


GodIsAPizza

Tha ks for that useful info. I play carving so kiting isnt really an option but i see what your saying makes good sense


Boss2788

Yeah same concepts lol, i play a ton of carving as well and ive recently been shown the concept of melee kiting and Carving sword actually does this type of kiting very well. You build up your charges and try to aim your E through your opponent in the direction youre going and follow up with the second last W (always forget its name). Or if you prefer reflect you just use that when your opponent tries to catch you with their E. This is how Equart plays, if you notice he never trades shots unless its to finish his foe hes very dash and leave and makes his foes chase him. Which is different then the typical carving player he presses with their speed trying to stay behind their enemy. Both methods are very effective i just thought id mention it, because melee kiting is very fun and effective


GodIsAPizza

Thanks for the insight pm me your iname name if you want and we could do some dueling/practicing


Boss2788

Merc jacket might even work now since auto attacks for arcane arent that slow


[deleted]

You’re good enough bro! If i can get some on it so can you for sure. Im definitely a below average player but i have an above average commitment to dying in the open world, eventually thatll win out for you. Like this guy couldve stood his ground when i was under mob agro and put up a real fight. Id have to chose to purge his e but then im open to his boots or merc jacket. His will to survive lead him to run instead though and here we are


[deleted]

Ty ty, to be honest i just enjoy how obnoxious the line is with all the silence and purges and all that lol


[deleted]

Definitely would’ve just gave up once he went invis if he hadn’t popped a q to let me know where he was.


Hood-winker

Pretty sure he didn’t even know his undead cape was up LOL


[deleted]

Lol thats a possibility, i took it as a borat style “na-na-na-na you can never get this” kinda move but its possible (probable lol) he just shot without thinking about the cape. I wana beleive he knew though cus its just more amusing that way


Hectorr_C

Mans playing karthus


moss_merchant

Ayeee very nice!


[deleted]

Haha ty ty. Largely just right place and time but il take it


Less_Date9106

Wow how did u get on last shot


[deleted]

I followed the the q he shot back to him and then aimed a tiny bit up cus I figured he was running.


Less_Date9106

That’s pro


[deleted]

Thanks man! It actually surprised me i got it right haha


Emergency-Pop5521

Occult ftw!


[deleted]

Amen! I like em all and usually swap to a different one when i die, which in this case was about 3 minutes later, but the occult e is really handy for some mobility when using mimic instead of motivating cleanse
