What are you playing right now?

[Bartimaeus]

Some of these chalice dungeons in Bloodborne are pretty brutal. Super Abhorrent Beast in the Loran Chalice dungeon is quite possibly the most brutal boss I've ever played against in a Souls game. I learned him well enough (read: died to him a couple dozen times), though, that when I faced him AGAIN in the LOWER Loran Chalice dungeon (because screw me, I guess), I was able to actually beat him on my first try. What a jerk of a game.

More Grim Dawn, went Battlemage and have been pulvervizing **** with two-handers while using that Calidor ability. Again wish there were more difficulty options at the beginning but the game is tons of fun.

What combination produces a Battlemage? I dual classed a Demolitionist with an Occultist and that produces a Sorcerer.

Not to be picking nits but Sorcerer is what you get when you combine Demolitionist with Arcanist. Demo/Witch Hunter is Pyromancer.

[Gfted1]

Yep, you right.

[mkreku]

I accidentally made a Saboteur by combining.. uh.. the rogue class with the.. demolitionist?

 

God I suck at this. I love my Saboteur though.

I never seem to have a chance to play my second character in Destiny.  Every day there's bounties to complete, so I keep doing them for my main character in hopes of getting better gear.  So my secondary character has pretty weak gear.

that dlc boss of ds2 is so hard. im a level 100 sorcerer, i summon 2 phantoms to help, they both die, i run out of spells and he still has about 1/4 hp left

My Grim Dawn character at the moment is the Shadowblade, single-classed. I don't seem to get the hang of the synergies and I like the skill tree too much.

 

Level 31 and still in the desert / wild west part of the game exploring gulches and passes... and I've only scratched the surface.

 

* sigh *

 

Thank you, Crate, for kinda getting it. So many companies don't nowadays.

you can always put the gear you don't need in stasth and then use it to infuse gear for the other character ...

Go Soldier or Demolitionist and use the default attack skill. Won't change the playstyle and will net a big damage boost.

I find the myself with a bit of "paralysis by analysis" in the Devotion constellations. So many choices!

I generally think the best approach to the Devotion system is to simply use what makes sense for your character at the time as you'll be swimming in Aether Crystals before long.

 

If you're looking for a more permanent setup try to balance a few defensive constellations - Dryad, Scales of Ulcama, Targo the Builder or The Behemoth are quite good regardless of your class and equipment - with some offensive ones that make sense for your playstyle, e.g. there's no reason to go for Solael's Witchblade for instance if you don't deal fire and chaos damage.

 

There's another nifty thing that you need to keep in mind, constellations can be self-sustaining, which means you can remove prior constellations you needed to unlock or the crossroads points as long as you do not fall below the requirement for any constellations you spent points on. E.g. if you unlock the Jackal via the Crossroads point and complete it you will gain 3 Chaos Affinity. Now you have 4, so you can remove the crossroads point if you wanted. The Jackal constellation will then be considered self-sufficient.

Purple Toe finally managed to find a replacement for their second Magister. He was only leading expeditions when the main bossman was training or recovering from injuries, what with his skull fracture having left him a bit soft in the head, but now that internal injuries reduced his battle effectiveness even further, the cult decided to get rid of him.

As fortune (or Tzeentch) would have it, there even was a promising replacement available. I wonder if the new guy knows he's expendable...

Though compared to other warbands, mine are very slow to fire members.

I am hearing more and more about the The Division. Any PS4 users I can co-op with? My Playstation Network ID is Astiaks.

Weapons, but does it work for armor?  I figured it had to be the same armor type since each class can't cross-use armor.

Which boss? Also, always try to get human help. It's a lot more useful than the stupid ai who will let itself get killed easily.

I'm talking about infusing so yes, you can only infuse a helmet into a helmet and so on.

Psh, even the AI help - nevermind other players - can be abused so badly in Souls games if you work the boss right to change its targeting between you and the AI constantly - basically renders a boss useless. Only time I ever used summoning was in DS1 when it was necessary to unlock some particular items. In Bloodborne, you actually have to *pay* to summon others, whether AI or players, which I can't help but pompously approve of. :D Although I still think the price is too low...

There was a new patch out for Grim Dawn last night. I didn't really care, just assumed it was a bunch of bug fixes and what not.

 

Went in with my two-handed melee specced life-steal, life-regen character and promptly got my ass handed to me multiple times. From enemies I used to beat with (relative) ease. For some reason they now hit so hard that I don't have time to get back my hitpoints before I'm dead. I can see my hp bar fluctuating from almost dead to full within milliseconds in normal combat and when I go up against bosses it goes down too fast for my life-steal to trigger.

 

This is what I hate about action RPG's. The developers keep on tweaking **** over and over and over for no reason at all. It played just fine before! Level 66 and suddenly my character is useless because of the whim of the developers. Very annoying.

[melkathi]

Sounds just like most MMOs. At some point way back, in Champions Online the devs decided to have particle damage ignore armor to make things more interesting. But they forgot that every low level goon uses a particle rifle. So as a max level tank, simple cannon fodder would turn you into swiss cheese.

I've fired two or three so far I think, at least in my sisters warband though I'm sure I have *much* less hours put into Mordheim than you...

 

I think two of them were low ranks with Skull Fracture (can't be bothered dealing with that) and the other one was supposed to be a gatherer but lost a leg, so yeah...

 

 

Seems I'm playing a "Warlock" in Grim Dawn, though I'm not sure if the order in which your classes come matter (if they do then I'm playing something without a name, which likely is bad since I have kinda no idea what I'm doing currently but so far it seems to work )
