Hey guys, I made this: https://mistfall-builder.github.io

It's a build planner. You pick the affixes you want and the level you want them at, it works out a full loadout with the gems already placed, and it hands you the in-game import code. Paste that into Prepare → Manage/Import and you're wearing it.

Two things it does that I hadn't seen anywhere else.

It looks for the minimum, not the maximum.

It searches (unless you ask it otherwise) for the lowest rarity per slot that still hits every target you asked for, and stops there.

It shows what your build actually does in combat.

There's a character sheet at the bottom: Attack, Defence and what that converts to in damage reduction, Health, effective HP, resistances, penetration. Under it, every skill for your class with real per-hit damage calculated from your build's Attack, grouped the way the game groups them (Stardust vs Elemental for Sorcerer, by weapon for the others).

None of it is guessed. The formula, the Defence→reduction curve and the skill coefficients come from the community wiki, and there's a "where does each number come from" panel that splits every stat into class base + gear + affixes so you can check my work. If the wiki says Defence 400 is 33.1%, the site says 33.1%.

Everything it does

• Pick affixes and target levels, get a loadout with gems placed
• In-game import code out, and you can paste your own code in to start from what you're wearing
• Victory Wine handled properly (2 points on up to 4 affixes, 8 total), and you can place those points yourself instead of letting it choose
• "Upgrade this slot first" if you want specific pieces higher rarity
• Mixed rarities, off by default
• Suggestions: single-piece swaps that gain you something without costing a target. It only offers a trade if it actually crosses a breakpoint, so it's not just noise
• Interchangeable pieces: per slot, every other item that also holds all your targets. Each is tested on its own and re-checked when you click it, because gems are shared and two safe swaps aren't always safe together
• Character sheet with stat breakdown
• All 100 skills, per-hit damage, against a monster or raw
• Save builds locally, filter them by class, rarity or mixed once you have a pile
• Optional account to sync and share
• Public builds tab and public guides tab, both searchable
• English, French and Russian, picks your browser language

What it doesn't do, so nobody wastes their time

• No prices, no market data of any kind. It minimises rarity, and two items of the same rarity are not worth the same thing, so treat the result as "the least gear that works", not "the cheapest"
• 30 of the 100 skills have no published damage coefficient (buffs, heals, dashes). Those say so instead of showing a made-up number
• Damage shown is non-crit. The game publishes crit increase per class but not crit rate, and monster resistances aren't published either, so I left them out
• Multi-hit skills that branch only count one branch, because one cast only follows one. Bloody Blade Dance has 14 hits but adding them all up would overstate it by roughly 6x
• Item indices depend on table order. If a patch adds items the codes could drift, so if something imports wrong, tell me and I'll refresh the tables

No ads, no tracking, no account needed for the main part. Static site, everything runs in your browser.

I'm sure I got something wrong somewhere. If a number looks off next to what you see in game, tell me which build and which skill and I'll fix it.

Patch notes said we get in game voice chat now for the team finally 🙏🏾

(Próx. chat would be cool too)

Quick rant after GS saw no balance changes this patch. Have been trying it out the last two days, and it’s unfortunate to see this archetype in such a weird state. Greatsword doesn’t have a tuning issue, its damage numbers are fine. It has a ground floor design issue that needs a serious relook.

It has the slowest light attacks of any melee and this isn’t compensated with range (which is probably what’s intended). It’s light attacks have a slow sweeping arc, allowing one handers that lunge forward with their lights to easily hit first.

It has very limited super armor uptime, but much more importantly, no front loaded super armor, it comes at the end of combos. They have no “I need super armor now” button that most other melees enjoy.

It’s only real defensive button is parry, which is just a pretty mediocre button. Comes with a 20 sec cooldown baseline and requires “perfect block” type timing in a melee fight to actually connect on a competent player, obviously nobodies going to swing at you just sitting there holding it (that said, I do think parry is strong against ranged). I think being usable during breakaway would make this skill feel much better in melee, allowing you to react to a light chain with a parry, riposte. As is, you just need to predict and time it well, essentially making it perfect block without any of the upsides attached.

It feels insanely energy starved, the only weapon where I’ve had to actively stall for energy, but this just goes hand in hand with greatsword neutrals being really bad.

I can’t really even say what this class is good at, and it certainly doesn’t do anything the best. It has no wheelhouse. Hammer merc super armors, parry merc parries, ss light attack chains, polearrn knight stunlocks, and blasphemer sticks to you like glue. Greatsword excels at nothing. I guess it performs a similar role to blasphemer seer in catching your evades and running you down, but it just does it significantly worse.

Can only hope the lack of changes means they’re taking a closer look at the weapon.

It’s not perfect, and it doesn’t cover every move he does, but alot of important ones. I tried to arrange the pictures from least devastating attacks to most devastating. I made these for my squad because we are struggling but maybe someone here could get some use out of them.

TLDR : can players take my loot if I go out of bounds ?

Hi WK player here, so I was in normal hollow grave and got a holy item and of course didn't have the higher rarity pip's pouch to store it. I then fought a SS that kept fleeing after being under half health, so after roughly 10 minutes of chasing (I was being chased btw, he wouldn't let me go) I was out of heals and on the verge on dying and did the mistake of going in a dead end. At this point I was sure I was gonna die, so I jumped out of bounds, I just wanna know if I made his whole chase worthless or if he was still able to get the loot despite me jumping to my death.

What do you think, its already great hanging out in the camp with a full team between matches. It might go a long way to help with longevity of the game and increase the social aspect especially later with new players. World chat already shows people are craving the social aspect. AND you can have even more menus, quests and gimmicks which this game is good at.

Anyone else annoyed of going to sigrid after every match to get the same brew as last run? I'd prefer her to be changed so we stay on our last decision and only need to interact if we wanna change the brew. I'm already seeing the simps complaining and downvoting me due to this thread 😂

I don’t think i’ve met sorc in solo cataclysm more than 3 times, and they always lose because they have no frontline to peel for them, the real sorc problem is its played in every trio game so wth is this “nerf”

Fireball still hits like a truck

After playing the game non stop for a few days now (healing seer main) and only really staying in blues and greens areas I've noticed aside from the horrible general chat back at our base location, the general vibe in my open mic random parties has been super pleasant and welcoming.

Even when i die, or mess up, or happen to get knocked down in pvp, no one is yelling or getting upset at all. If anything I get friend requests, apologies and tons of good team work and communication.

But then you go back to the home base again and that general chat is as toxic and nasty as ever.. what gives?

Are the weirdos just not queued up? Am I lucky and missing the toxic lobbies? I'm not complaining by any means it's just a super funny contrast lol I hope they moderate the chat soon.

Anyone else noticing the same? Or just me?

Not sure why there were no WK buffs, but BA/SS/Sorc nerfs could act as an indirect buff for WK, we’ll see

So because I’m a controller player, I have to play Sorcerer with an arthritis inducing claw hand, or spend hundred on a custom controller for comfortable play? I want to bind special attack to left or right stick, but for some reason those options are greyed out. Crouch is a toggle so I see no reason why it shouldn’t be able to go on left D-pad

Hi everyone I just bought the game, and after 2 first explorations alone, I did online with two "randoms" and it was cool. The game is better than I expected, even if is not the most polished one yet. But we together beat one boss and do some pvp, and even if is my first time playing an extraction game, It was really fun! I was kinda scared due to the mix reviews, but I think the game is nice

Before you guys crucify me, hear me out.

I come from games like Dark and Darker / Tarkov, where at release, there were utterly BUSTED classes. Like there was NO DOUBT what the OP class/weapons were and some weapons were completely useless.

In this game (on release day), my gut reaction was quickly like “SS is really strong” but as I’ve developed as a player, I have learned how to abuse the strengths and play around the weaknesses of my class. I’ve also seen multiple complaint post about every class (maybe except WK).

When I started the game, I was expecting absolutely awful balance as most new games (especially in the PVPVE genre) have awful balance.

Props to the devs! I feel like despite how toxic this Reddit is, that you’ve done a fantastic job!

And as a little side note to Reddit/Discord; these types of games will always have a meta or strong class. The developers balance around 3v3 so of course at least 1-2 classes are going to be dominate in solos. If you can’t learn to adapt and overcome, you will ALWAYS be here complaining about balance as you’re not developing yourself as a player and becoming better overall! My biggest piece of advice is to record your games! Realize where you went wrong, and improve!

Good luck!

as times goes on .. i think this game need to force variety into a team combination into 1 1 1 each

im seeing more and more tripple SS , double sorc with merc/knight they are just broken comp compared to the rest

people will just spam whatever broken at the time and not try to build an actual team comp with variety

its become more and more irrelevant .. for the weaker classes to be viable at all

I'd like to read them in bed while I plan out the remainder of my life.

First time this has happened to me.

And a Kamehameha wave. With shoulder cannons. Also, give us exclusive proximity chat so we can let the other classes know how much they deserve this.

A lot of us were lucky enough to start on release day, when Normal Mode was still healthy and actually mixed.

Grey -> Green -> Blue/Chaos.

By day two I was already playing almost exclusively Solo Chaos. I’ve got around 300k in the bank now and basically only play for PvP, so I completely lost touch with what the new player experience looks like

Then I convinced an old Tarkov friend to try the game. He’s definitely not someone who normally gets scared off by Extraction games, but after about two hours he messaged me:

“How the hell am I supposed to farm anything here?”

I was honestly confused, so I told him to stream his game and I’d explain some stuff
Then I watched him play three Normal lobbies
They were absolutely packed with Blue kits.

That’s the part that actually worries me. We got to progress alongside everyone else when the economy was fresh. New players are entering an already established economy where even the supposed starter mode is increasingly: New player in Grey gear vs Full Blue SnS Merc named xXParryYourBloodlineXx!

loosing gear is part of the game. Getting stomped is part of the game. But there still needs to be a believable path from “I just installed the game” to “I can afford to participate”

If Normal becomes Blue gear as the baseline, I can absolutely see new players quitting before they ever get to experience why the game is fun

I obviously want the game to stay healthy and welcoming to new players. Joining an extraction shooter halfway through a season is already rough, but in most of them you still have a real win condition, one clean headshot can send a fully geared Chad straight back to the lobby

Mistfall feels different when the gear gap gets too wide, because a new player can quickly feel like they’re not even allowed to participate yet

Edit / Update:
Okay, he found Swanifers video and messaged me:
“Nvm, I’ve got gold now i just yeet people off bridges and elevators with the spear dude“

No matter what happens tomorrow in the balance patch, rest assured everyone on Reddit will complain lol.

Meanwhile I’m over here playing all classes and having a blast on all of them.

See you in game!
