[Newbie needs chanter help]

I guess it is just weird for me to have buffs that are so transitory as apposed to always-on effects that are predictable.

For example, "Lo, Their Endless Host", "Thick Grew Their Tongues", "The Dragon Thrashed", followed by a repeat of "Thick Grew Their Tongues" will drop enemy Deflection and Concentration, then hit them with fairly significant Burn and Slash DoT, then allow you freeze everyone with a Paralyze Invocation. Then Kana just kinda casually finishes stuff off with his Estoc.

But dont only one of those effects linger at a time or does the linger time rapidly increase at higher levels? Right now it seems that the linger is less then half the chant of the next phrase.

 

 

Is there any reason to not just use the same phrase over and over again to keep the buff up 100% of the time? What are some good combinations of phrases to use at different levels? Like just doing "Come, Come Soft Winds of Death" constantly to keep the DoT up.

 

Well, for one thing, you lose out on the ability to have to two buffs active due to the ability of phrases to linger. If it's a high-level, long-lasting buff, it's also going to slow down your phrase counter, making it harder to get those ogre summons and whatnot.

 

So is it best to start with a phrase with a large linger and follow it up with a shorter one?

[Does Two-Handed Style Apply to Ranged Weapons?]

Ya, it looks like it only works with melee weapons.

 

However I did notice that the talent does not update the tool tip. You only see the bonus damage in the character sheet after you equip it.

 

For example, the Pollaxe tool tip says it does 17-24 (base 14-20) but when I equip it my character's damage says 19-27.

[Why is the PC unlock so late in the day?]

It sounds like Valve used to charge extra for midnight releases. I'm assuming not that many companies wish to bite anymore, or Valve has just stopped doing them all together.

 

If they can't get an offline mode right, chances are adding a time to an automatic release date is beyond their capabilities as well.

 

EDIT: It is now set to midnight EST for NA customers.

Great news. Guess someone realized releasing a game in the late afternoon was a terrible idea.

[Why is the PC unlock so late in the day?]

I believe it is because of Valve's working schedules. Games on Steam are without exception(?) unlocked at the same time (10AM PST / 1PM EST / 6PM UTC etc.)

I'v had several games unlock at midnight or 3AM or even 10AM eastern. There does not appear to be a rhyme or reason to it. I assume it is up the the publisher or developer.

[Why is the PC unlock so late in the day?]

According to the Steam store page the game does not unlock until 1PM Eastern. Has there been any post as to why this is? Most game stores open at 10AM and because this is a SteamWorks game even if you buy a hard copy you still cant play it until 1PM.
