  1. The troll: "Nice armor…it's not giving you damage nullification but DAMAGE ABSORPTION, THEN THERE'S A LIMIT TO IT RIGHT? If you can withstand me at 100% then I'll force you to surrender from beyond that! PLLLUUSSSS UULLLTTRRAAAAAA

  2. You are awesome. I see you're still playing the games I'm playing and still sciencing them like a boss. I found your armored schooner and sloop videos for Atlas to be extremely useful. Playing recently, I often see that little armored sloop you designed being built by players on the official servers. I managed to add 2 more cannons to the back whilst still protecting those 2 crewmembers manning those cannons, but it was all so much easier starting from your design. And I finally just now subscribed to you.

  3. We just started playing this game. My friends and I went into a burial chamber and there was a lot of skeletons including a big one that attacked us. I was the only one with a shield and both my friends died pretty quick while I was surviving for literally 10 minutes with enemies that kept hitting me. I backed into a corner and slowly I was able to clear the burial chamber by myself. My stamina was able to grow faster than their hits so after 2-3 times blocking I was able to get 1 or 2 shots off. Shields are OP. I also took no damage with the tower shield. So I cleared it with 100% of my health remaining while both of my friends died in under a minute.

  4. @Firespark81 I discovered your channel when searching for "what is Conan exiles", and stayed ever since. Thank you for all the useful information! It is interesting to watch, as well as helpful both for playing the game and for deciding whether a game is for me.

  5. – The the wood shield block 55% of total dmg
    = 62 dmg total dmg and you take 27.9 you block 34.1 dmg
    – Iron site dmg redaction 77.4% of total dmg
    = 62 dmg is a total dmg and you take just take 14 with iron so 62 – 14 = 48 if 62 = 100% 48 = 77.4%, you redaction 77.4% of total dmg

    – "if wood shield block ( 55% ) total dmg and Iron armor do ( 77.4% ) dmg redaction of total dmg and if you block the dmg with wood shield 1st then the iron do dmg redaction for the rest"
    55% block of 62 = 34 dmg is block from total dmg / 62 – 34 = 28 dmg remain
    if the iron resisted 77.4% of 28 dmg you should take = 6.4 dmg / 28 – 21.6 = 6.4 dmg you should take
    but we see in the video you just take 1.8 dmg not 6.4 dmg, that led to this "if" wrong.

    – "if wood shield block ( 55% ) total dmg and Iron armor do ( 77.4% ) dmg redaction of total dmg and if Iron armor do( 77.4% ) dmg redaction of total dmg 1st then wood shield block (55%) of the rest dmg get redacted from iron armor"
    77.4% of 62 dmg = 48 dmg then 55% of that 48 dm block it = 26.4 dm you should take, that led to this "if" wrong.

    ammm
    if you see the video you can see there is no significant difference in the block value is 55%, no change after or before equip iron armor so the game AI start with shield block value (55%) not the dmg redaction from iron armor.

    if the block value of wood shield is 55% and game AI start with block from shield, The dmg redaction of iron armor is the thing that changeable but the block is not
    Depending on this we can say there is significant difference in iron armor dmg redaction with block and without, but we know without block is 77.4% but with is like this:

    – "if the block value of wood shield is 55% and no significant difference if with iron armor or not and there is significant difference in iron armor redaction with block and game AI start with block the dmg by wood shield then the dmg redaction of iron armor"
    Total dmg = 62
    Wood shield block = 55% of total dmg
    Armor iron redaction after block = we dont know
    Start with wood shield block 55% of 62 dmg = 34.1 dmg
    The iron sit do dmg redaction of that dmg block 1st from the wood shield = 93.5%
    27.9 – X = 1.8 / x = 26.1
    27.9 = 100% the 26.1 = 93.5%
    Armor iron redaction after block =

    if you block the dmg by wood shield ( 55% total dmg block ) and Iron armor ( 93.5% dmg redaction of remaining dmg that block by wood shield ) it will be = 1.8 dmg you should take

    conclusion
    wood shield block 55% of total dmg
    Iron site dmg redaction of total dmg without wood shield block 77.4%
    Iron site dmg redaction of total dmg with wood shield block 93.5%

    this is what i think

  6. For leveling Blocking really fast :
    1) Find a Burial Chamber with Skeletons on it
    2) Kite 3 of them to the entrance and jump on the rock before the exit
    3) Resting on this rock, just manage your stamina with a "go in, go out" of melee range
    4) Enjoy ! 😀

  7. Sir I like your videos and they're very helpful and informative. However I do have one minor suggestion and I hope that you might consider taking it.

    I am not sure what microphone you are using when recording your videos. But your audio is quite intense and to the point that it does make it a little difficult at times to listen to what you have to say. Therefore my suggestion is the following. Take a moment to listen to your videos carefully and try different tones of voice or reducing the volume just a little bit so you don't come off so strong to the point that some people will ignore or not even bother listening to your stuff.

    You're a good content creator providing a lot of helpful information on this game and you can grow a lot further if you just tone down the volume a little bit on your video.

    Also please do understand I am not trying to be harsh about any of your videos I am just trying to help you out because I see great potential in what you can do and how you can help out the community.

    Thank you for these videos and hope to see more of them and take care of yourself sir. Also keep up the good work too.
