    Segment details1:35–1:36 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_21
  23. 1:37

    It's because my DPS is so good.

    Segment details1:37–1:39 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_22
  24. 1:55

    Segment details2:00–2:02 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_26
  28. 2:02

  31. 2:10

    I remember before I got up to 1400 and I

    Segment details2:10–2:13 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_30
  32. 2:13

    was basically 2-shotting everything, but

    Segment details2:13–2:15 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_31
  33. 2:15

    now I can't do that because I accidentally

    Segment details2:15–2:17 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_32
  34. 2:17

    nerfed my crossbow by 50% using the orb.

    Segment details2:17–2:22 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_33
  35. 2:25

    It was a really good crossbow, did nearly

    Segment details2:25–2:27 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_34
  36. 2:27

    250 damage, now only does 140.

    Segment details2:27–2:29 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_35
  37. 2:32

    Really nerfed myself.

    Segment details2:32–2:35 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_36
  38. 2:55

    Okay, so I survived.

    Segment details2:55–2:56 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_37
  39. 2:57

    Pretty good.

    Segment details2:57–2:57 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_38
  40. 3:28

    It's a shame all of the other lightning

    Segment details3:28–3:30 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_39
  41. 3:31

    abilities kind of suck, like Shock Burst,

    Segment details3:31–3:35 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_40
  42. 3:36

    Round, Storm Blast, Bolts.

    Segment details3:36–3:38 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_41
  43. 3:39

    They're really bad compared to Galvanic

    Segment details3:39–3:41 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_42
  44. 3:41

    Shards.

    Segment details3:41–3:41 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_43
  45. 3:42

    They just shoot out a bunch of electric

    Segment details3:42–3:44 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_44
  46. 3:44

    things, but they don't do any damage.

    Segment details3:44–3:46 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_45
  47. 3:48

    What is the point of them?

    Segment details3:48–3:49 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_46
  48. 3:54

    So they put all this stuff in the game,

    Segment details3:54–3:56 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_47
  49. 3:56

    but over half of it's not good, so you end

    Segment details3:56–3:59 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_48
  50. 3:59

    up just using the same skill over and over

    Segment details3:59–4:01 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_49
  51. 4:01

    again because it's the best one.

    Segment details4:01–4:03 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_50
  52. 4:05

    So you end up being forced into playing a

    Segment details4:05–4:07 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_51
  53. 4:07

    certain build because it's the best build.

    Segment details4:07–4:10 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_52
  54. 4:11

    I have tried a cold build, like a frost

    Segment details4:11–4:14 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_53
  55. 4:14

    build, but it's just so bad.

    Segment details4:14–4:15 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_54
  56. 4:23

    The damage is just

    Segment details4:23–4:24 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_55
  57. 4:28

    terrible.

    Segment details4:28–4:31 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_56
  58. 4:33

    Well, I just got one-shot.

    Segment details4:33–4:35 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_57
  59. 4:36

    That's so lame.

    Segment details4:36–4:36 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_58
  60. 4:39

    I thought I was gonna finish that tier 2.

    Segment details4:39–4:41 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_59
  61. 4:49

    So stupid, you get one-shot out of

    Segment details4:49–4:51 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_60
  62. 4:51

    nowhere, not even any warning or anything.

    Segment details4:51–4:53 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_61
  63. 4:55

    No little symbol.

    Segment details4:55–4:56 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_62
  64. 4:56

    I've got another tier 2 here.

    Segment details4:56–4:58 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_63
  65. 5:00

    Try again.

    Segment details5:00–5:00 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_64
  66. 5:05

    I think maybe this crit gem is not very

    Segment details5:05–5:09 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_65
  67. 5:09

    good and I'll replace it with elemental

    Segment details5:09–5:10 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_66
  68. 5:10

    damage.

    Segment details5:10–5:11 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_67
  69. 5:14

    Nice hit.

    Segment details5:14–5:14 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_68
  70. 5:15

    Now we've got a bit more DPS.

    Segment details5:15–5:17 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_69

    That's all you can do.

    Segment details5:20–5:21 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_71
  73. 5:39

    What?

    Segment details5:39–5:39 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_72
  74. 5:39

    Segment details5:39–5:40 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_73
  75. 5:42

    I couldn't move.

    Segment details5:42–5:42 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_74
  76. 5:44

    I just got stuck on like a bit of rock and

    Segment details5:50–5:55 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_77
  79. 5:55

    then they all ganked me.

    Segment details5:55–5:56 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_78
  80. 6:00

    You can't see where you're moving and then

    Segment details6:00–6:02 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_79
  81. 6:02

    you get stuck in like a little corner.

    Segment details6:02–6:04 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_80
  82. 6:06

  83. 6:23

    Sometimes there's just way too many

  90. 6:39

    then you can't reload because you keep

    Segment details6:39–6:40 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_89
  91. 6:40

    dodging.

  101. 7:12

  104. 7:18

    Segment details7:22–7:24 · rev_9c2141dffbdfd4271557888fc21c3201_104
  106. 7:38
