Last night I managed to push through to Masterwork Colossus. It might not be the most optimal build but I was just mostly going for being able to experience what having a heavily armored Chonky Boi feels like. It is pretty good but all in all I still feel like it is really sluggish to play as. I need to spend a night running a bunch of strongholds in an attempt to get better abilities, because the currently batch I am using doesn’t really make sense even in the simplest of terms. However they are both orange and as a result I am using them… because based on my experience with the Ranger… it generally makes enough of a difference to make it worthwhile. I am deeply looking forward to the March 12th patch and seeing how the game feels after that because it sounds as though they are giving the weapons a little loving. My next goal in the queue is to start branching out and trying other weapon combinations, seeing as I have mostly just used a handful of weapons the entire time I have been playing and I have a vault full of interesting sounding Masterworks.
The truth is I did not have a terribly productive night seeing as I spent most of it trying to fight falling asleep. I am still coming down off being used to consuming three or more Energy Drinks a day… and as a result everything feels way harder than it should. I could have probably gone to sleep around 7 pm last night but my wife was not ready until around 9:30 so I managed to hold out until that point. I spent a lot of the night doing more passive things like watching YouTube than I actually did running content in Anthem. My hope is as we clear the weekend I will have distanced myself from the influence far enough that I will once again begin to feel like myself. The further into this I get… the more I realize how much it was actually needed. I am going through some of the basic signs of withdrawal… constant headaches, dizziness, muscle aches, alternating between feeling like I am freezing and feeling like I am burning up. I realize it is nothing like ACTUAL withdrawal but man it still sucks.
My hope is as we make it to the other end of the weekend that a lot of these symptoms will lessen. Yesterday however was pure hell to make it through, and there were several times that I contemplating going to the vending machine and just saying fuck it. So yeah that is my world right now and until I get on the other side of this I am probably not going to be doing a lot of thought provoking content. I hope you have an excellent Friday and an even better weekend. Tomorrow I get donuts… so there is at least that to look forward to.
They are quite slow to move, but that comes with some weight. Since you have all the MW components, that should give you enough armor to withstand pretty much any attack. Combined with the shield rush, it makes for some interesting combat. With the right skills (lightning coil is pretty neat), you can face melt targets.
Though, if you prefer to sit back and shoot guns, the colossus is not the javelin for you. It excels in the thick of the things.
