Nobody seems to have answered this question? Edit: Never mind!
-
Thanks; perhaps I shouldn't just go crazy all-in on Deflection then. Also, can these mega-bosses be "tanked" by one guy primarily - or do they essentially need all of your characters to have high survivability?
-
Wow, and you'd be leveling Athletics anyways on a melee. Now, the question is: What is the number necessary to beat DLC content and mega-bosses?
-
OMFG, that is precisely what I wanted - thank you!
-
Can someone list all the reasonably achievable Deflection buffs? Something like this similar thread for Penetration: In particular, I am trying to see if I can get extremely high level of Deflection WITHOUT Mirror Image. Mirror Image absolutely destroys my eyes and my sanity, and I'd rather not use it unless I absolutely have to do so. Using my save from 2 years ago, I see that my tank can achieve about 165 without Mirror Image. I am not sure if that is enough for the absolute end game content in PoTD - including the ones I haven't really experienced (e.g. the four mega-bosses and the last 2 DLC content).
-
Holy sheet, the eye sore. Any ideas?
-
Ah, awesome; thanks! Now I have to decide if the other changes from the Community Patch are worth accepting
-
Does the Community Patch affect turn-based?
-
Hmm, but I thought the boost to grazes makes ripostes very unlikely. But then I should have very high Deflection with a Trickster Swashbuckler...
-
So what would you suggest as a fast killing melee character in turn-based? Would it have to be something like Barbarian multi-class with an AoE-centric build then?
-
Yeah, I think I might do that now since Saint Omaku's is 14 Penetration already when upgraded to Legendary and Decisive Shots.
-
How strong is Brute these days? I thought the build was severely nerfed from release, but if I play "Gimli," Fighter/Barbarian is the route I'd take. Edit: Also, is the "Gore" feature from Amra friendly-fire capable or enemy only?
-
Hmm, I am so senile I don't even recall where a particular location fits in your leveling. So I just figured the area was a high level area. In that case, I might run a dual 2H front-line with a greatsword Fighter/Rogue (Aragorn) and a 2H axe character (Gimli).
-
They look so ugly and awkward though. (And yes, aesthetics matter for me.) I also do not understand why there are no greataxes and mauls in this game. (I know there are 2 2H unique axes, but I'd like to have that option from the get-go.)
-
Regarding Escape: I don't get it. Wouldn't a Fighter - whether pure or multi-class - want to keep Engagements active? And OP: What do you think about replacing Streetfighter with Trickster? I like more balanced characters; and the Streetfighter's Recovery bonus won't mean as much, because I play turn-based. Moreover, how about replacing estocs with greatswords? Again, I am lazy and prefer weapon versatility than frenetically switch weapons every encounter!
-
I am always turn-based PotD with a full party
-
I put the conditions above. PoTD Turn-based, using warbows, and a full party run.
-
Thanks. Turn-based and using warbows, if that clarifies! But now I just discovered that Saint Omaku's warbow gives extra +2 Penetration as an enchantment. So I might not be forced to go the Devoted route for extra Penetration. So I might even go for Rogue/Ranger.
-
Very useful! I just noticed that Saint Omaku's warbow gives you +2 as a part of its enchantment. It is slower than other warbows, but that shouldn't matter in turn-based.
-
Oops; I created a thread before noticing this answer! What do you mean by "certain setups"? For me, I will use this guy as the main ranged DPS. So warbow likely but arquebus or arbalest is possible since turn-based.
-
Since I don't use the pet, I am wondering if Devoted/Rogue is preferable to Devoted/Ghost Heart I'd been using as my primary range. Or would the latter's Driving Flight ultimately out-strip the Rogue ranged damage?
-
Thanks; I don't think this was listed on the build thread!
-
I agree; I wish there were mods that did this. And yes, I like games to retain some level of realism/verisimilitude as long as it doesn't interfere too much with game-play.
-
Just a coincidence - or is the multi-class deemed ineffective?
-
Hmm, I haven't started my turn-based game yet, but I've never summoned the pet as a Ghost Heart before! You can tell how much I hate to micro-manage. So, if you don't use the pet at all, would you be better off with something like Fighter/Rogue as an archer? Or would Driving Flight still make the Ranger/Rogue worth it?
