gkathellar Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 With the Perception change, you can't really dump it anymore, and investing might be worth it. So, maybe something like this? Might 16 Dexterity/Constitution 16 Constitution/Dexterity 10 Perception 12 Intellect 16 Resolve 8 If I'm typing in red, it means I'm being sarcastic. But not this time. Dark green, on the other hand, is for jokes and irony in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexis13 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Tbh, I never dumped it cause I like deflection, but we all did without the extra accuracy before so I think we'll be fine to have it at 10. My cloak of Lillith is gonna be great though, only losing 3 deflection for a lot of accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoopleDoople Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) I would think that Barbarians now have an even greater incentive to build around CC on crit weaponry, particularly the Tall Grass pike. This was already reasonably effective and +10 accuracy should help a lot. For your build you'd take a Hearth Orlan with a standard DPS build similar to what any ranged character would use. Max PER and INT, dump CON and RES. The rest can be split as you see fit between MIG and DEX, though I'd personally prioritize DEX. You'll definitely be extremely squishy, particularly early on. A reach weapon and frequently incapacitating nearby enemies should mitigate this to some extent. If anyone cares to test this let me know how it goes. I've been warning for a while now that bonus accuracy may boost CC to (even more) game-breaking levels of effectiveness.

limaxophobiacq Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) I think I'm going to try something like: Might 18 Con 10 Dex 12 Perception 20 Int 13 Resolve 5 with Weapon Focus: Peasant and the +20% attack speed staff now that +speed enchant works. Speed, +10 accuracy, and +30 interrupt from perception with carnage should to a decent amount of interrupts as well as good damage. Also might try dual-wielding hatchets (+10 accuracy from perception and +10 deflection from hatchets) and spears (total +15 accuracy) while I'm at it.

Boeroer Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Nice combination on a CC-Barb: dual wielding spears. Right hand: "Vile Loner's Lance" which is interfering and causes -5 defenses an hit - left hand:Cladhalíath with stun-on-crit and extra-damage-on-stunned-enemies. First you hit with the Loner's lance and lower defl. around you. Then you hit with Cladh. and stun them if you crit. Then again -5 def. and stun plus extra damage and so on... haven't tried this out though, but it sounds nice to me. Only thing is the weird look of wielding two spears.

Boeroer Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Also: you can get both weapons quite early and there are some other nice spears in the game. Even one with speed mod if I remember it correctly. "Danyula" or something like that. You get that in Lvl 11 of the Endless Paths I think.

lameover Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) You'll be interrupted all the time, if you dump RES. Remember, now all those bad guys has +PER with higher accuracy.

limaxophobiacq Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Well that's why I was going to focus on a reach weapon and not getting hit, that's what tanks are for. Might just drop it to 7 or 8 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
