Are damaging 2 and accurate 2 the highest of those enchantment types, or will there be more in the actual game?

I think Riposte needs to be buffed in general, with maybe a higher base proc rate, increased proc rate with fast weapons (to compensate for their lower damage), half proc rate on grazes, and automatically qualifying for sneak attacks.

I played through the beta on normal with an unarmed monk, but I used a variety of armors, first in heavy armor, then leather armor, and finally (when I found the ring of +10 deflection) I went with unarmored (enchanted fine cloth with slash/pierce/crush proofing). I felt it went well in general, but it's definitely risky going unarmored all the time, better to switch armor according to the situation I think. I also never felt any need to switch away from fists, two weapon style + vulnerable attack made my monk effective against most opponents.

Ravenfood posted:I equipped BB Rogue's starting Fine gear on a level 4 monk since (iirc) hatchets, stilettos, and fists all attack at the same rate. The fists did +1 damage compared to the weapons, but didn't have the secondary effects like the hatchet's +5 deflection or the stiletto's DR pierce. I also had +4 accuracy for using Fine gear, so, yeah, in honesty, I can't see why you'd have an unarmed monk unless fists are faster than "fast" weapons or there is some other benefit I'm just not seeing. Transcendent Suffering only activates during combat (Transcendent Suffering 2, which you would have at lv4, gives you +4 to unarmed damage)

I'm going to totally make a party of 6 rogues. It will own. Why can't scrolls be used outside of combat anyway? Rolling flame is much less useful if I can't start the fight with it!

Greenplastic posted:Right now I'm kind of feelin' a ranger, shootin guns and arrows. I'd generally recommend focusing on either bows or guns/crossbows, as the former can benefit well from the Penetrating Shot talent, while the latter two can benefit from the Gunner talent. There are also no weapon focus talents that include both bows and guns., but Soldier Weapon Focus includes both the Arbalest and Arquebus, so those weapons might be the best overall choice for a specialist marksman.

Captain Oblivious posted:Currently my plan is to use the bear form because, even when it stops being particularly useful for damage, it still has built in CC. I just messed around with it, and I don't think the damage is that much of a problem, it's more that druids have really low accuracy/endurance/health, and that the spirit shift seems to last for a very short period of time. The damage for spirit shift is like dual wielding a pair of two-handed (fine) weapons.

omeg posted:Do monks need a lot of health/endurance to stay alive? Any general build advice? It's all good, don't sweat it. You can switch armor as needed, and monk unarmed damage is pretty good (high MIG or the Vulnerable Attack talent can make their fists more effective against heavy armor though). You probably don't want to dump CON, but it's not necessary to pump it either since a monk with just 8 or 10 CON has almost twice as much Endurance/Health as, let's say, a priest with 20 CON.

Gharbad the Weak posted:So, a big thing about this game is that you can't accidentally make a really bad build. They talk a lot about the High Intelligence Barbarian using an area attack to do lots of area damage. Intellect isn't that great for rogues. You can pickup Blinding Strike early on, which is nice, but the base duration is only 10 seconds, there's also Crippling Strike with the same duration, but the effect isn't as impressive. Later on you can pick up Deep Wounds (passive rogue ability, doesn't stack with itself) or Envenomed Strike (general talent, 3/rest), which cause damage over time, but the damage is affected by Might so you can't dump that stat. I think there's at least one more rogue ability at high levels that has an effect with a duration. Finally, if you invest in Lore, a lot of scrolls have AoE and duration-based effects that would be boosted by high Intellect. tl;dr sure, but make sure you also have some decent Might/Dexterity.

Hand Row posted:I think Rogues invis duration is affected by int too. Yeah, but if you're turning invisible as a rogue, then you're either going for a backstab or getting away from immediate danger, so I don't think increasing the duration a bit would be that useful.

StashAugustine posted:So from brief testing, it appears that Intellect makes DoTs happen longer but not stronger, and they are refreshed on hit anyway. Unless I'm misunderstanding that means that low Intellect makes DoTs flat-out better? I think Intellect can also increase the total damage you can do with DoT effects, but if you're (for example) using the rogue's Deep Wounds, and attacking the same target repeatedly, then Intellect won't do much for you.

Reckless Assault is kinda messed up right now and can't be turned off, so once it's patched, I can't tell if it's going to be usable outside of combat (and thus, for backstabbing) or if it's going to be like the beta and only activate after combat has started. Help me please Ropekid, I need to know this before I make bad choices

Section Z posted:Also seriously, somebody help me out here in why Rods (crush) exist in a world that has Scepters (crush/slash)? Everything I can look up indicates this is the only difference and I have not been able to google up any talents that work with Rods but not Scepters, except for one specific preist deity talent. Rods deal pierce/slash, have higher base damage, but also lower speed than wands & scepters.

DatonKallandor posted:Unfortunately Combusting Wounds isn't nearly as good as it seems. The fire damage they inflict is a DoT, which means every time it's triggered it overwrites the previous DoT instead of stacking. And since it's a DoT it also suffers the DoT/HoT negative intellect interaction where longer duration doesn't increase the damage - it stretches the same damage out over a longer timeframe. If you wanted to max out your Combusting Wounds use, you'd have to make a moronic Wizard to maximize your duration penalty from low intellect (which would also screw up the CW initial AoE) - unless the DoT duration is influenced by who triggered the wounds, not who cast the spell, in which case you need a lot of dumb Barbarians or other people-hitters. High intellect doesn't negatively impact DoT despite what ability descriptions imply, although usually high might will have a better effect.

Bhodi posted:Speaking of rogue I don't see them addressing the backstab issue in this patch. Hopefully that's on the list. What backstab issue in particular are you referring to? Backstab and stealth could use a few buffs I think. At the very least, backstab damage should be x3, if not more, and the talent should probably give a decent bonus to stealth as well.

Tabletops posted:Needs higher range, like 4-6 meters I think. A teleport mechanic would,do wonders for melee rogues as well(like npc rogues use escape or shadows use their teleport attack thing). No, an arquebus with just sneak attack already deals better damage than a two-handed weapon with backstab. Making ranged weapons better for backstabbing than melee weapons would be silly.

Batham posted:From my experiences that might be the theory, but in practice DR is such a determining factor that strengths or weaknesses of armor will hardly ever come into play. Take brigandine armor; 10 DR with a DR of 13 vs crushing. Compared to plate armor, that's only 1 DR more than plate's base 12DR overall reduction. For everything but crushing damage, brigandine is going to be quite a bit worse. Maybe I'm understanding the armor system wrong, but at the moment it kinda feels "meh" and I wish the DR specialities of armor would be the only DR that it would give. Keep in mind that plate is supposed to be better, but less common than brigandine, which is why you can find fine brigandine much earlier/more often than fine plate.

If i turn it off and back on again, I seem to get all the bonuses and negatives stacked, down to -37 deflection and 110 accuracy. Try activating Reckless Assault, then save & reload, then deactivate it, and save & reload again. That seems to have fixed it for me.

Activate Reckless Assault > save > reload > deactivate Reckless Assault > save > reload That should fix it.

Are you supposed to be able to stack both Reckless Assault and Savage Attack? Because you totally can! What determines which modal abilities you can have active at the same time? Savage Attack can be used with Reckless Assault and Vulnerable Attack, but not with Defender or Guardian stance.
