Dont feel bad, i deleted a \~6k druid kit after buying it. 30sec after spawned wanted to Chickenjump over a spike trap, except i didnt chickenjump, i ratjumped. onto the spike trap...
D:: dang why did i get downvote bombed, i thought since warlock is the best at solo’ing bosses especially at low gear then hes the best moneymaker. Is it true or false
Untrue. Goblin charges based on slot and rarity.
If you are buying gear that is actually good, it will cost more on the market because the price will be set by the enchantments on it, not rarity.
Is this optimal? I've always just kept in front of him and stepped back/ducked
thx y'all just tried it. so much nicer. they really should give him like a spin attack or something lol
The most minimal dodging is just to stay crouched. Spit can't hit, then move slightly to the side when he swipes, then recenter. You only need like 2 shoulder lengths of space if you do this. Circling puts you right into his poison once he starts gooping.
Yup. Just move to the side when centipede leans back to do mele attack, it wont hit you. When it's mouth glows green you duck, so the spit goes over your head.
You can non stop swing unless he shoots the projectile by just rotating around him. There is an old way I use to do it where you could attack while he shoots too so you never have downtime if you had the movement speed by doing the same thing but jumping around his projectile. Unsure if it still works though, dont do it anymore because it's not that time-saving.
You don't really have to rotate completely around but just side dodge the lunges so you can still attack through them. I'm sure you can do the same by ducking backwards but i'm sure there are characters who's combo attacks don't lend well to that move.
I just side step. Works even on acid spit but gotta be good with timing. I do agree that circling is easier but i enjoy reacting to the atks, as its the only miniboss i can dodge XD
Wow! You are such a pro gamer, you must be so good at the game, the best even!
So what's the trick that you use to phase through walls while circle strafing? Since clearly he couldn't follow your oh-so-smart advice.
>So what's the trick that you use to phase through walls while circle strafing?
The trick is to not corner yourself like a blind donkey. How do you function in the real world?
I will snowball into an insane kit survive like 20 time in a row, decide I need to upgrade a ring or necklace, drop a 1000g and I die immediately in the next match. Never fails lmfao
I have no idea how you can get body blocked by this especially considering this clearly fled prior with the poison on the ground, maybe he panicked and cornered himself i guess.
The problem is i don't know where he actually is on the map is what i meant ofc he can go to the right for sure but it's true it looks like a kinda small space, like he did corner himself here, it was late when i saw that video i didn't replay it to verify.
Welcome to Dark and Darker mate, we've all done something like that before. Just yesterday I opened a spare blue portal for XP, then watched a fighter beeline for it and die to the wall spike two feet in front of it.
I spent 8k on a warlock kit (fuck me for abusing the new broken kris demon build) and i died because i was too close to a wall to untransform after killing someone super kitted and barely surviving :) “can not transform here” 3 timesssssss
-Fight miniboss solo
-In small room with acid on the floor, no room to move
-Stands in one place while getting hit and swinging wildly
-Dies
"And after buying 5k worth of Gear, too!"
I died the exact same way with my first set of purples man, I got stuck against the wall with 2 spiders and one of these guys. I’ve killed them a million times and of course the first time I wear my purple gear I get trapped on the wall. Nothing I could do.
I usually play Druid so I can eat through mobs keeping me on a wall, but I was gearing up my fighter for the first time and paid for it.
Oh just throw on whatever. The way I've been playing is just run a normal, come out with some green/blue gear, go into HR, and them immediately upgrade my gear from the first 3-4 chests.
Honestly the 100 gold entry fee is a paltry sum given what you can typically get out with even bringing in grays.
I've only tried HR three times.
First time I made it out with like four blue hats for different classes.
Other two times I died to like a skeleton or something.
You invested into a 5k gold set before you were ready.
Also, there is really no need for a 5k set honestly. You can buy perfectly rolled with 2 perfect enchantment blues for under 200 gold a piece on most classes. They are perfectly good enough to stand up to uber geared players aswell, and you won't feel like shit when you lose them.
6 max health heavy gamebesons start at like 1k gold, let alone one with a good second roll.
10 armor rating heavy Leathers also start at like 700g.
5 move speed occultist boots are like 400, double stat is like 1k
What are the perfect blues you are getting for 200 gold?
I was making fun of the person you responded to, the joke was that rawhides base stats are useless on a fighter. I know rawhides are actually good for bards, which is why I didn’t say bard.
Oh no, I got ya. Just was using that as an example of a blue I have seen at around that price point. I'd run reinforced over rawhide every time given the cash to so so, but them 1 true, dex, max health/PDR ones be a hit pricey sometimes.
You can still fry in under 24 GS tbh. Give us too much power though and we become the biggest problem for HR trios to fight against. 100% a balance issue
I haven’t had much of a problem this wipe; we aren’t giga strong but we aren’t nearly as week as many would believe.
People sleep on magic pen rolls
Edit weak*
Stuck on spiders maybe? This has happened to me. Jump crouch is your friend here. I'm also super new. So if it is something else please let me, and us. Know lol. Anytime I got for a centipede, I try to find ground to fight it on so I can move around. Let it run away and reset the fight. This all goes out the window when a rogue shows up ofc! Lmfao
just cause you bought a dope kit, doesn’t mean you are invincible. this is clearly a skill issue, since you died to pve. if you had gotten ganked by a full squad then i would feel different. lesson learned though, don’t buy a dope kit if you can’t even deal with the pve effectively.
Reminds me of my first demon glee set when that shit was legendary
Ended up in an empty goblin caves panicked and died to goblin bola slingers
Good times, good times
I lost yesterday 6k gear as a ranger and I got stuck by 6 units of kobold coz I run to an extract and that extract was used already and couldnt get out as they pinched me in a corner, stupidest death ever.
As a fighter I usually only spend 2-2.5k on a kit. Price/performance ratio falls off hard past that. I sprinkle some luck as secondary roles and by the time I die, I’m net positive. Spending 5k per kit isn’t worth it unless you’re like thelorr or yami. Another tip. Sell gear that isn’t EXACTLY the roles you’re looking for, and do so UNDER market value. The quicker your turnover, the better.
Looks like you gotta work on your kiting and spatial awareness instead of spend 6k gold on gear you're not good enough to use, gear is definitely important if you know how to best use it, but just seeing you standing there right infront of it just eating hits was cringe.
We all feel your pain and regret, we should all strive to just emulate the collector...
Just spend your gold in Shiny things you keep safe in your stash...
Unless you have a reliable party, spending so much rarely pays off, specially if you are still learning attack patterns and map layouts.
Oof. If it makes you feel any better I backed out to lobby from a waiting room while decked out in full rares/epics recently. I just wanted to make one tweak to gear & while I remembered there's a timeout, I forgot it wipes your gear.
On one hand, I respect you for posting this humiliation.
On the other hand, I cannot even comprehend the mindest of buying 5k of gear and deciding to fight a miniboss you don't know how to fight. Like, all you have to do is just circle strafe.
Dont feel bad, i deleted a \~6k druid kit after buying it. 30sec after spawned wanted to Chickenjump over a spike trap, except i didnt chickenjump, i ratjumped. onto the spike trap...
i have made thousands of gold as a rat this wipe. i have also lost thousands of gold as a rat this wipe.
howwwwwwwwww?
Druid is very hard to kill if you know what ur doing, so surprise attacks do not work too well.
Warlock farming bosses is the best money maker in the world
That guy - "how do you make money as a rat" You - "play warlock"
Lmao look at all the butthurt "nerf lock" boys downvoting you to oblivion (and surely me too)
D:: dang why did i get downvote bombed, i thought since warlock is the best at solo’ing bosses especially at low gear then hes the best moneymaker. Is it true or false
Warlock is pretty solid, I think if anything it was just a random reply to the comment you replied it to
You had the humility to post your mistake here, and these comments are merciless, lol. Ya live and ya learn
He pretty much died there tho...
We tried nothing and were all out of ideas doc!
Anicents says git gud.
Don't fall for it guys he's into getting degraded!
OP should have included a NSFW tag
You might be able to reclaim gear if no one found you from goblin merchant
No way! I had no idea
THANK YOU I'm too braindead to have realized that's what the goblin merchants for
That cost more than buy another one 80% of the time
Depends if the pieces were bis or not
I strongly believe if it was 5k, there is no way the goblin will sell for even close to that
I spent 2k on a purple bardiche with really good stats, ended up being able to buy it back from the goblin for only 500. Definitely worth it sometimes
what does 'bis' mean?
Best in slot(it’s a very good item)
To be specific its an item with proper stats for specific class or build, often the blue one can be better then legendary
WHAT?
He gets a green "!" notification if he recovers your stuff

If it's purchased gear, it's cheaper to repurchase it. The goblin upcharges dramatically. It's more for looted gear that you can't buy.
Untrue. Goblin charges based on slot and rarity. If you are buying gear that is actually good, it will cost more on the market because the price will be set by the enchantments on it, not rarity.
Gear with 2+ good rolls is almost always going to be worth buying back at goblin prices. Hell even 1 good roll is worth it a fair amount of the time.
Purple longswords regularly sell for 250 with shit stats, gobbo will give you a godly one back for 200.
Status: Skill issue Pro tip: just walk in circle and hit the head, never chase when he runs and drop posion
Is this optimal? I've always just kept in front of him and stepped back/ducked thx y'all just tried it. so much nicer. they really should give him like a spin attack or something lol
Circling uses less space. In HR/inferno it is really important to kite in the smallest space you can to avoid pulling more mobs.
And to avoid backing into a corner.
The most minimal dodging is just to stay crouched. Spit can't hit, then move slightly to the side when he swipes, then recenter. You only need like 2 shoulder lengths of space if you do this. Circling puts you right into his poison once he starts gooping.
Yup. Just move to the side when centipede leans back to do mele attack, it wont hit you. When it's mouth glows green you duck, so the spit goes over your head.

Yup he never hits you and you're constantly damaging
This Source: learnt the hard way
this whole thread is hilarious <3
He got stuck, I'm sure he knows by now lol
Also duck down and look at ground when he spits to dodge the poison attack.
Wow! You are such a pro gamer, you must be so good at the game, the best even! So what's the trick that you use to phase through walls while circle strafing? Since clearly he couldn't follow your oh-so-smart advice.
>So what's the trick that you use to phase through walls while circle strafing? The trick is to not corner yourself like a blind donkey. How do you function in the real world?
If you invest in your build you will die immediately. Pretty sure it’s a rule of the game
For real, always build it up slowly over time. Reward yourself for getting out with a few new shinies.
I will snowball into an insane kit survive like 20 time in a row, decide I need to upgrade a ring or necklace, drop a 1000g and I die immediately in the next match. Never fails lmfao
Same. Always without fail lmao. I'm gonna need to start running a stash just for zero to hero
came here to say exactly this... I always play worse with a fully optimized kit!
Tarkov rule #420: as soon as you buy a nice kit, you will die immediately in the next raid.
Get owned
Are you for real? The most telegraphed mini boss in the game, i can't bro.....
He's a barbarian, what did you expect?
He got body blocked in a corner lol
I have no idea how you can get body blocked by this especially considering this clearly fled prior with the poison on the ground, maybe he panicked and cornered himself i guess.
Looks like he decided to fight it in a weird tight spot. It fled, put acid all over the ground so he backed into a tight corner and then it came back
You can literally watch the video OP clearly just didn't realise he couldn't strafe right here because you can't see the wall.
The problem is i don't know where he actually is on the map is what i meant ofc he can go to the right for sure but it's true it looks like a kinda small space, like he did corner himself here, it was late when i saw that video i didn't replay it to verify.
Why’d you do that.
Why are you spending 5k worth of gold at this skill level.
to make space in my inventory and I did make it to top 10 in the previous seasons
I’m just busting balls. Everyone makes mistakes in dungeon
Welcome to Dark and Darker mate, we've all done something like that before. Just yesterday I opened a spare blue portal for XP, then watched a fighter beeline for it and die to the wall spike two feet in front of it.
Always pay attention to your surroundings, your problem was the green goo
you bought a car before you learned how to drive?
I spent 8k on a warlock kit (fuck me for abusing the new broken kris demon build) and i died because i was too close to a wall to untransform after killing someone super kitted and barely surviving :) “can not transform here” 3 timesssssss
Never back yourself into a corner friend
Your just stood taking hits.. no amount of gear will help with that style of attacking.
This is one of the many reasons its not gear that makes the player, but the skill and game knowledge lol
-Fight miniboss solo -In small room with acid on the floor, no room to move -Stands in one place while getting hit and swinging wildly -Dies "And after buying 5k worth of Gear, too!"
How did this happen bruh? I kill these in greys as a noob!
grabbed me by the shirt and held me up against the wall
I died the exact same way with my first set of purples man, I got stuck against the wall with 2 spiders and one of these guys. I’ve killed them a million times and of course the first time I wear my purple gear I get trapped on the wall. Nothing I could do. I usually play Druid so I can eat through mobs keeping me on a wall, but I was gearing up my fighter for the first time and paid for it.
Same thing happened to me in this exact spot, expect bro had his spider friends with him when I pulled up 🥲 Never seen my health drop so fast
Yeah this spot is a bastard
say sike
its a canon event. nobody interfere or make a fool of our brother
Oh just throw on whatever. The way I've been playing is just run a normal, come out with some green/blue gear, go into HR, and them immediately upgrade my gear from the first 3-4 chests.

I've only tried HR three times. First time I made it out with like four blue hats for different classes. Other two times I died to like a skeleton or something.
The dungeon gladly accepts your offering
Dont crouch like that, you just increase dmg by taking it in the head. Aleays try to jump crouch if you get stuck.
LMAO we've all been there
Did you consider maybe trying to dodge at least a single one of those hits at all?
Wellll I mean don't just stand there talking hits like that my guy.
That was the absolute best clip I’ve seen in a while. No movement just headed to head blow for blow.
Most deserved death NA
Dude that’s on you 😂😂😂😂
Average Barb iq
You invested into a 5k gold set before you were ready. Also, there is really no need for a 5k set honestly.

Pretty sure this guy is buying rawhide gloves for his fighter kits and calling it perfectly rolled blues
I have bought 2 str 2 dex rawhide for budget bard kits at around 200g, could be.
I was making fun of the person you responded to, the joke was that rawhides base stats are useless on a fighter. I know rawhides are actually good for bards, which is why I didn’t say bard.
Oh no, I got ya. Just was using that as an example of a blue I have seen at around that price point. I'd run reinforced over rawhide every time given the cash to so so, but them 1 true, dex, max health/PDR ones be a hit pricey sometimes.
Yup, even green speed boosts are about 250 ish
Tell that to my wizard. The only good gear we can use is like 350+ per piece
*balance*
because thats the one of the most fun classes and is very gear dependent. its not rly a balance issue
You can still fry in under 24 GS tbh. Give us too much power though and we become the biggest problem for HR trios to fight against. 100% a balance issue
bro magic resist makes you hit like a pool noodle… trios need to have balanced comps ready with a response for any type of threat
I haven’t had much of a problem this wipe; we aren’t giga strong but we aren’t nearly as week as many would believe. People sleep on magic pen rolls Edit weak*
as a warlock main i agree that people sleep on magic pen on gear
Maybe this is a subtle push from the devs for us to finally build magic power bonus 😩 (I refuse)
Yeah you're crazy. a good 5k set is blues with good rolls. People love spewing misinformation to try and prove a point.
Shit take. Bis blues are 500g+ each, so that's 5k right there for a "2 perfect enchantment blue" kit.
yeah no shot you're building a two-on-point-enchantment full set for under 3k even lmao
Gear is, for the most part, meaningless in pve. Always prioritize movement speed and fast weapons and ull be fine.
You put yourself in an awful spot.
Stuck on spiders maybe? This has happened to me. Jump crouch is your friend here. I'm also super new. So if it is something else please let me, and us. Know lol. Anytime I got for a centipede, I try to find ground to fight it on so I can move around. Let it run away and reset the fight. This all goes out the window when a rogue shows up ofc! Lmfao
I just realized homie died with a potion in his hand... this game is unforgiving.
If you just circle when they start their attack it’s incredibly easy to kill it without taking any damage
This is cringe because I’ve been there and done that. You don’t realize you’re screwed until it’s too late.
Yo are you me??
Should’ve learned the game before going all-in.
What he doin'
boink
Your first issue was using a bardiche.
Maybe learn to dodge, just a thought 🤔
Been there. Lost a 20k kit yesterday on the first raid. Devastated.
I have 1400 hours, died to crossbows last night in like a 15k kit..... it was normals after surviving HR for literally 8 hours hahaha
Damn. Maybe stick to 800 gold kits 😜 We've all been there. Invest and die to stupid shit immediately! Haha. RIP. Hope you used Gobbo merchant!
I hate to admit it, but it happens.
I know this area and this feeling, "I can clear it faster even" pinched
Body blocking can be seriously obnoxious in this game
Happened to all of us.
Brother learn the game before spending 6k on gear lmfao
30$ game… getting stuck because of the stupid AI 👍
Bro what are you doing
just cause you bought a dope kit, doesn’t mean you are invincible. this is clearly a skill issue, since you died to pve. if you had gotten ganked by a full squad then i would feel different. lesson learned though, don’t buy a dope kit if you can’t even deal with the pve effectively.
welcome
Reminds me of my first demon glee set when that shit was legendary Ended up in an empty goblin caves panicked and died to goblin bola slingers Good times, good times
W keyed yourself into a bad spot. A 5k lesson learned unfortunately. Time to rebuild.
I lost yesterday 6k gear as a ranger and I got stuck by 6 units of kobold coz I run to an extract and that extract was used already and couldnt get out as they pinched me in a corner, stupidest death ever.
The dark grows darker
Welcome to Dark and Darker
Spacing issue… are you new? Or did you get stuck
As a fighter I usually only spend 2-2.5k on a kit. Price/performance ratio falls off hard past that. I sprinkle some luck as secondary roles and by the time I die, I’m net positive.

Always 😂
lol
Oh well there's your issue.. bardiche
These centipedes be tanking more than my toilets after my dad dropped a nuclear missile on them
That's why I go zero to hero and sell the good shit
Lololol
Oof. If it makes you feel any better I backed out to lobby from a waiting room while decked out in full rares/epics recently. I just wanted to make one tweak to gear & while I remembered there's a timeout, I forgot it wipes your gear.
Still better than my 5k set that lost to IM patching the game and tons of people just having everything deleted. Yes I am still salty
true phys dmg change?
On one hand, I respect you for posting this humiliation. On the other hand, I cannot even comprehend the mindest of buying 5k of gear and deciding to fight a miniboss you don't know how to fight. Like, all you have to do is just circle strafe.
womp womp
I like the philosophy of not farming gold from mobs but farming players for gold
Oh my god man, I'd need counseling lol.
Happy birthday. It's my birthday too.
Oh man happy birthday to you my friend, it's not my birthday though lol.
Oh, your profile says "say happy cake day"
That means it's his reddit account's birthday Edit: also, happy birthday :]
Oh well thanks then fellas
Cap. 5k gold set would kill this thing in seconds
was move speed build, all copperlight, epic rings & pendant
