Someone want to list the new level 15 and 16 abilties?? Doooo it

[Elric Galad]

And any other new ability for level 14-.

 

After all, they added level 11 abilities, multiclass talents and a few wizard spells with WM part I.

[Wolken3156]

Like last time, I'll list the new spells. They're some really fun ones here! I used my Watcher for the Priest spells. Symbol of Skaen might be exclusive to Skaenites. I can't be bothered checking Durance at the moment, but if anyone can check the other deities for me, that would be great.

With All Your Strength Slay the Beast

Duration: 6.0 sec

Linger: 6.0 sec

Friendly Aura: +20 Accuracy against Beasts, +30% Daamage against Beast for 18.0 sec

 

The chanter increases allies' Accuracy and Damage against all enemies of the Beast type.

 

If this stacks with survival bonus dragons are getting a lot less scary.

[limaxophobiacq]

Hand of Heal and Woe can be cast out of combat, probably a bug?

[MaxQuest]

What's the duration of Going Between power?

Inb4 wizard in plate with shield, buffed with it + Llengrath's Displaced Image + zealous endurance is tough as wall. And than.. Defensive Mindweb! (if focus permits)

 

 

Major Grimoire Imprint - Steals 3 spells of Level 7 - "Allows the wizard to temporarily "borrow" druid, priest, or wizard spells of 7th level or lower. For a short duration, the wizard can cast the stolen spells freely." Wow! Just when I thought it would be funny to get Minor Avatar on wizard. To add to Citzal's Martial Power and Lance. Although they probably don't quite stack... Still, cast one per-rest spell, get three for free?

It says right there, the base value is 30 seconds! Its really amazing power and it only costs 40 focus!

 

The daggers look like a fun power to cast on a Rogue, though 80 focus is overwhelming.

Oops, got too excited and overlooked

[limaxophobiacq]

Symbol of Wael inflicts freeze and gives friendlies +30 resistance to charmed/confused/dominated.

 

Would have liked if it caused confusion instead but can see how that would be a bit OP, but this OTOH feels kind of situational, and in those situations you'd rather cast Prayer Against Treachery.

 

Also the freeze damage is vs. fortitude which isn't ideal.

Edited February 16, 2016 by limaxophobiacq

[PugPug]

What about new gear?

[limaxophobiacq]

Berath does Corrode and causes Weakened, so it attacks fortitute at the same time as it lowers fortitude, so that each hit makes the next one more likely.

 

His and Magrans are just clearly better than the Wael and Skaens. Wael seems to get the worst deal, though I haven't checked Eothas.

 

Edit: Eothas gives +20 to all defenses. WTF? How is +30 vs charmed/confused/dominated remotely balanced vs +20 to all defenses? That's kind of bull****.

Edited February 16, 2016 by limaxophobiacq

[the_dog_days]

Any changes to Weary Defender?

[Elric Galad]

So the most important question of WM II is :

 

Does form of the helpless beast work on Thaos ?

[limaxophobiacq]

Loaded saves right before the concelhaut fight and then Thaos (PotD) to try out some of the new spells with the help of the console.

 

Wizards: Best level 8 spells feels like Freezing Rake (I don't really get the AoE though) and Wall of Many Colours, very much worth it on the time to cast vs. effect. Wilting WInd just takes to long, Minolettas Piercing Sigil requires letting your wizard get hit, Imprint is a gamble and a waste of time you could be spending CCing or doing damage. Blackbow might be cool for non-boss encounters if you built around it.

 

Druids: Stag takes too long to summon and is too fragile. Also why do I have to select it and then activate it's carnage ability that should just be a passive ability for it? Avenging storm I could see for those that use spiritshift a lot but I don't. Tornado has a good effect with high instant damage and prone but the AoE is to thin and really awkward to use, especially if your druid isn't on the front line.

 

Priests: Since Priest play in a hard fight is to always buff your party and cast any 'Prayer Against' spells that you need before anything else, you're casting 3-4 other spells before you even start to think about casting any of the new level 8 ones since none of them are AoE buffs*. I'd rather cast spells to keep people from going down in the first place than cast Watchful Guardian since IIRC they lose their buffs when they get knocked out and then revive (someone correct me if I'm wrong), but it's a powefull effect. Hand of Weal and Woe is an improved Ectopsychic Echo so of course it's very good, but I didn't get to cast it in either fight because when I was done buffing and throwing down Minor Intercessions for one or two status effects that got through the fights were always over.

 

*unless you are an Eothasian, in which case you essentially get a Circle of Protection spell that is actually good, and you should probably cast it right after Crowns for the Faithful and whatever Prayer Against spell you need

Edited February 17, 2016 by limaxophobiacq

[Boeroer]

Reaping Knives sounds really cool. Giving your mates some nice raw damage daggers which generate focus for you while you can spamcast - nice!

[limaxophobiacq]

Oh and for Ciphers Defensive Mindweb is crazy strong. I used it when one character with Preservation (+50 defenses while prone/stunned) was proned and suddenly everyone had 200+ on all defences. If you use consumables (I don't), you could stack a whole bunch of defensive buffs on a paladin and then your whole party will get those defences and be practically invulnerable.

 

Reaping Knives might be cool, but if you just build one defence stacker and then cast this your party becomes godlike.

Edited February 17, 2016 by limaxophobiacq

[Francis Ironwood]

I knew that Defensive Mindweb would have some wonky insane high potential. Pretty sure Boeroreorer could make a gimmick build focusing on it.

[Wolken3156]

I knew that Defensive Mindweb would have some wonky insane high potential. Pretty sure Boeroreorer could make a gimmick build focusing on it.

You could just lug around a Paladin heavily invested in defensive areas and just cast Defensive Mindweb near him. It does cost 80 Focus though, but you can easily earn that much with gear you would have by the time you learn it anyway. Also the range is pretty small, so a melee Cipher is probably ideal.

 

As for the new non-8th level Wizard spells, the tentacles hit pretty dang hard. Too bad the casting range for them is only a measly 6m, its feels a little restrictive. Enemies also seem to ignore them though, unless they can't attack anyone else. As for the black hole, its kinda cumbersome since it also affects allies. So its heavily favors a ranged heavy playstyle. It does make the fight against everyone's favorite Death Guard a lot easier though. You can easily suck in all the Fampyrs, wall them off with the tentacles and then focus on taking down Raedric.

 

I haven't had any chance to use the pig polymorph. Could've used it in the new Keep army fight, but the enemies barring the enemy commander are like popcorn. Haven't seen any other kith enemies.

Edited February 16, 2016 by Wolken3156

[limaxophobiacq]

You can also combine one character with high deflection and one with high other defenses, since it takes the best of both.

 

Have priest cast Minor Avatar for +32 to Fortitude/Reflex/Willpower and wizard with hatchet and shield use Hardened Veil for +75 deflection,, and then Defensive Mindweb gives everyone the Fort/Ref/WIll of the priest and the deflection of the wizard.

[Doppelschwert]

all the missing love for the martials makes me sad

 

But rejoice, my game will be dowloaded in 30 minutes and i will list the new abilities up to level 14 for them.

[limaxophobiacq]

Of spellcasters I'd say Druids got the worst deal on the 8th level spells/powers, with Ciphers getting the best.

 

Druids also didn't get very good 7th level spells, so it's a bit sad for them. For my druids Relentless Storm + Plague of Insects opens every serious fight from level 9 to the end of the game, and I wish they got something that would motivate me to change that on higher levels.

 

Priests, the AoE buffing class got no new AoE buffs (again unless Eothasian) same as for 7th level spells but I guess AoE buffs stronger than what they already have on levels 4-6 would be crazy. On the other hand Defensive Mindweb is crazy so why not.

Tornado looked awful in the new skill video. Moves randomly, bounces and hits allies?

Its all my fault for only posting the new caster stuff.

 

I'll post the new Rogue and Paladin stuff later. I want to actually play the game =/

[limaxophobiacq]

It's pretty bad. The damage and prone is decent but being Foe only, AoE having a small width, and moving as a projectile instead of instant hitting everything in AoE makes it quite bad. It's not random though it moves in a straight line and bounces on walls or other impassable terrain.

 

Why couldn't they just get a big circle-shaped tornado AoE that repeatedly damages and prones people in the area? Basically like Slicken was at release but with some damage.
