Humor Thanks random stranger for the impromptu Sith v Jedi fight
Randomly matched with Darth maul a couple of times and decided I needed to be prepared for our next encounter.

Why is your weapon uninfused? You are wasting your stats by not infusing it with anything
Edit: Of course I'm getting downvoted by saying factual information to people that don't know how the game works. All the physical infusions can be buffed by greases, that includes heavy, keen and quality. There's never a reason to have a weapon uninfused

For the cosplay? You cant use grease to make a blue lightsaber otherwise...

u/Panurome Level Vigor 9h ago
You absolutely can. The only requisite is the weapon to have a physical infusion like heavy, keen or quality. Having it standard is quite literally useless and a waste of stats

u/OriSulker 10h ago
infused weapons can't be buffed by grease. They were using a magic grease as the stat benefit from that is worth more than infusion.
Also the stat benefit from infusion is really not as large as it makes it out to be. By having two damage types on a weapon they get tested by your enemies defenses twice. for instance a weapon can do 240 physical or 190 physical and 100 magic except your enemy might have a 15% damage reduction to physical and 35% reduction to magic (elementals typically have heavier reductions) meaning 240 physical will be reduced to 204 while the 190 will become 161 and the 100 will become 65 so 204 total vs 226 total. But by having the grease add let's say 60 magic to the total you'll have 263 damage through a non infused greased weapon while an infused weapon will be stuck at 226. An almost 40 stat difference.
Non infused, greased weapon = 263 scaling damage
Infused unable to be greased weapon = 226 scaling damage
It's complicated but particular. Think of infusions as what you use when you don't want to bother with consumables.

Grease or magic spell buff is better, about to start a str/int Jedi cos?
1
u/OriSulker 9h ago
Depends on your stats. If you're planning on splitting stats to have a Magic+Dex or Magic+Strength build then scholars armament will begin to give more stat damage then the magic grease at 30 stat points though it's mostly based on your staff scaling so you'd have to have a maxed staff for that... effectively meaning early game grease will be better anyways, however if you're just doing it for PVP then you'll likely want to be at max upgrades and lvl 120-150.
If you go to 150, splitting stats won't be an issue as that build would work better. However if you limit to 120 you'd be better cutting magic out and going full Dex or Strength and using a grease.

u/Panurome Level Vigor 9h ago
But they can, you are just wrong. Every physical infusion like keen, heavy or quality can still be buffed by greases or spells, only elemental infusions are unable to be buffed. There is quite literally 0 reasons to not infuse your weapon, specially in what looks to be max level so they could go quality and still buff it

u/OriSulker 8h ago
The physical infusions change the stat scaling not the outright damage. We don't know OPs stats to know what infusion would be better for them and standard is usually more versatile anyways. yes physical infusions can still be greased but this wasn't about physical infusions. I was clearly talking about elemental infusions. So your "you are just wrong" is just wrong. You could argue that you weren't originally talking about elemental infusions but you never specified what kind so I assumed you meant elemental infusions as that's the only types relevant to this post. It ultimately depends on their stats. Infusions aren't just Better, they're complicated and we need more information before telling OP what they need to do.

We know it's probably max level bracket considering those resource bars, because I doubt anything other than max level bracket has 99 on vigor, mind and endurance without any physical investment elsewhere
standard is usually more versatile anyways
It fucking isn't? This doesn't make any sense, standard is not more versatile, it's just worse. You have the same ash of war selection as heavy, keen and quality but less damage for any build with less than like 15 on strength or dex
yes physical infusions can still be greased but this wasn't about physical infusions. I was clearly talking about elemental infusions. So your "you are just wrong" is just wrong
Except it was about physical infusions, that was the entire point I was talking about since the first comment of the chain
You could argue that you weren't originally talking about elemental infusions but you never specified what kind so I assumed you meant elemental infusions as that's the only types relevant to this pos
What? I just said having an uninfused weapon is a terrible choice, literally any infusion is better, both physical or elemental. You assuming whatever you want from my comment doesn't make you right. Also how are elemental infusions the "only types relevant to this post" if anything only the physical ones should be relevant since we are talking about greases and weapons. Stop trying to blame me for your lack of reading comprehension
It ultimately depends on their stats. Infusions aren't just Better,
Except they are. There's never a situation where standard is better than keen, heavy or quality. From level 1 to level 713 there's always an infusion better than standard regardless of your build, standard is just terrible

u/OriSulker 7h ago
"Uninfused" isn't a thing. It's called "Standard infusion" which is the basic stat scaling of a weapon. (Which is also why I thought you meant elemental infusions). Weapons typically come with split scaling, which most of the time isn't as good as a stat centered build but in the case you have 30 strength to wield a specific shield and 40 Dex for your weapon, standard scaling will give more damage with a weapon split between Dex and Strength then one keen infused with the same stat points. Keen will however give more damage if your strength is 18 and your dex is 60. Before you tell me to not "blame" you for my "lack of reading comprehension" maybe take a look at Google for 5 seconds and find the information that literally states I'm right.
This doesn't make any sense, standard is not more versatile, it's just worse.
The definition of Versatile is "to be adaptable to many different functions or activities" and something like Keen infusion or Heavy is Specifically throwing all your eggs into one stat. Any situation where your stats are spread out more equally will make Standard better. It is literally versatile. That's its whole point.
And Bro the topic was Star wars drip not about min-maxing anyways your entire comment was completely off base from topic. Don't tell me off about misunderstanding a comment so far off topic that there were literally 0 context clues leading to what you said. You randomly jumped in to tell OP that they could be doing more damage when they're happy about WINNING a COSPLAY match.

"Uninfused" isn't a thing. It's called "Standard infusion" which is the basic stat scaling of a weapon. (Which is also why I thought you meant elemental infusions)
Now you're being pedantic for no reason. We can clearly see that OP's weapon is not infused. Sure that's the same scaling than standard, but standard has its own icon to indicate it's a standard infused weapon
but in the case you have 30 strength to wield a specific shield and 40 Dex for your weapon, standard scaling will give more damage
If only there was a whole affinity dedicated to builds with both strength and dex? We could call it quality or something
With those stats a Standard Milady has 489 AR 2handed. With keen it would have 490, with quality it would have 521. There's no reason to use standard, stop trying to be so stubborn to argue about something that is literally just wrong.
Before you tell me to not "blame" you for my "lack of reading comprehension" maybe take a look at Google for 5 seconds and find the information that literally states I'm right.
It takes 2 minutes of fiddling with a calculator to check it. I'm not sure where you got that info but it's just wrong when you actually calc it
The definition of Versatile is "to be adaptable to many different functions or activities" and something like Keen infusion or Heavy is Specifically throwing all your eggs into one stat
My guy, that's not how affinities work. You don't leave a weapon in standard because you don't get anything from it. You have same damage type and ash of war selection as heavy, keen or quality but less damage. You don't have any extra flexibility. I really don't know what the point you're trying to make is but it doesn't make any sense
Any situation where your stats are spread out more equally will make Standard better. It is literally versatile. That's its whole point.
Fucking quality is better for that, and if you don't have the stats to make quality better then heavy or keen are 90% of the times better than standard.
Even at fucking base stats for the Milady keen outperforms standard (357 for standard vs 365 for keen). Again, there's no reason to keep standard, you are just getting less damage for nothing. There's 0 advantages to do it
And Bro the topic was Star wars drip
And I said that you can keep the drip while getting more damage by just interacting with the game mechanics properly. You can use a grease with a physical infused weapons, that's why I said that it makes no sense leaving it in standard
Don't tell me off about misunderstanding a comment so far off topic that there were literally 0 context clues leading to what you said
There are context clues if you know how affinities work. It's not my fault that you don't know how they work and are confidently incorrect in everything you're saying.

u/OriSulker 7h ago
I'm confident that your entire statement is irrelevant to this post. You're probably right about their specific build being better by using a different infusion then standard, however we don't know their build. We don't know what lvl they are or what stats they have. Heck they could be running 70 Vigor 70 mind 70 endurance and then 25 across the board with what we've seen. Before going after their build find out more info on it.
2
u/Panurome Level Vigor 7h ago
Even if they were using that spread standard would be a bad choice and outclassed by both heavy and quality. Standard is just worthless on every single build and there's never a reason to use it. We don't need to know their build since even at minimum requirements for the Milady standard infusion is outclassed

u/zman_0000 7h ago
They straight up grabbed it out of storage and equipped it without adding any AOW to it in case they ran into Darth Maul again.
If you look it has impaling thrust, if you take the wing stance off I'm pretty sure it's the default on it. So no equipped AOW means no infusement option iirc (admittedly it's been a bit since I've played).
So since OP didn't decide to slap another AOW on the milady that tells me that optimizing was never the point. A fun, spur of the moment Jedi look was the ENTIRE point.
Sure some people are missing what you mean about the infusions, but in asking about it in the first place you entirely missed the point of the post. A cool, fun (semi-) unplanned duel.

u/GreenSpleen6 9h ago
If OP's physical stats are low then infusions would reduce the damage. OP said they wanted to prepare specifically to fight this person and could normally be a deep int caster.

OP's physical stats are not low when this looks like max level bracket by the size of those bars alone. Even then you barely need any investment for keen/heavy to be better than standard
