I saved a bunch for when I maxed out veteran boxes and it jumped me from 200 to 250, so that seems like a smart way to do it since champ boxes will be scarce and anything higher then 200 will make champion easier. I just wish that doing higher difficulties increased the hero power on items faster, doesn't seem much point to open champion boxes if your not past 200 on vet boxes.

I spent some time last night on Merc Kruber trying to get from level 10 to 12 and I learned some things. I learned the trick to using the halberd, which is that you don't really need the charged attack??? It's pretty good with spamming light swings and it's just the second light swing that doesn't pierce armor unless you're aiming. I also learned that Kruber's handgun is piercing, and that you can kill a plague monk with a headshot, and that you can kill three plague monks with one shot. I also learned that you can go through a level as Ironbreaker with the drake pistols and get 240 ranged kills and one melee kill.

Had a game last night where the elf (lvl 30) ran ahead and got stabbed, then started calling us out in chat when the witch hunter got grabbed and we took more than 1 second to kill the hookrat. When the dorf and me began answering back he ragequitted and dumped us to the start of the level. Then I get a steam message from the dwarf and we chase the guy across servers, laughing at him for being a big baby. The community is great, as long as they don’t play elf.

What's the preferred woodelf ranged weapon setup, swiftbow or longbow, and ammo on crits, headshots or career resource the better orange trait?

IMO the heavy swing is great for proccing Paced Strikes on an incoming wave, but using it regularly definitely needs you to be in the optimal position for a halberdier, ie. right behind a tank.

In non-whining-about elves stuff, what's your melee weapon of choice for Sienna? I'm enjoying the Apprentice Sword's charged strikes for CC and covering my teammate's backs so far. The Flaming Sword seems thematic as gently caress, but I hate the hand grab. Can't seem to hit things with it.

Vargs posted:People absolutely go for the tomes/grimoires in veteran, and it is irritating to no end. Higher rarity gear doesn't really matter until you open enough boxes to reach power 300 stuff since you replace your junk so often. If you all die because some idiot took the second grim in a group that was struggling (and probably ran off all by himself to do it), you get no loot and have made no progress towards max power equipment where rarity is actually a worthwhile goal. Even in the short term, your next box will have lower power loot than it would have had if you succeeded originally, which probably would have been more valuable than that extra +2.8% damage vs berserkers you could've gotten on a blue instead of a green. gonna disagree a little bit here, you'll want to get a decent sized stash of green/blue/orange powders for rerolling stats and traits and every 100 item power level or so craft a desirable orange weapon imo - makes the road to power level 300 items from chests smoother and more fun getting a heat sink staff on pyro sienna or a 20% attack speed for 5 seconds on crit for a crit focused melee class makes a world of difference

i've seen a lot of stressing out over the boss monsters over the last few days so i wrote a steam guide for it: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1330509363 it opens up with the boss monster video that lune and i did but if you are anti-video guide there's 3190 actual factual words directly after it so don't stress

I like tanky dwarf, any tips on playing him so I'm useful? I got a bunch of stamina so I'm mostly knocking down groups of enemies and using my active ability when we're getting overwhelmed. I also try shielding and rezing when I can.

I really hate how when you level and get all the grims and tomes you don't get to the see the drat stat screen. poo poo takes so long the timer is already over and it just kicks you back to the dumb keep. I'd rather just see the stat screen and skip the boring lootbox crap.

Yeah I would rather there be a "leave lobby" option next to "return to keep", but it's just kind of annoying waiting for your lot box to upgrade

Usually I have to switch off from my LASER STICK when I'm beginning to get surrounded, which is often just some horde chaff, so I roll with the dagger for a faster attack.

the dagger is the way to go for me. the first charged strike is an aoe knockback you can fire off -> block -> fire off again to lock down crowds, and the second charged strike's stab actually does a pretty impressive chunk of damage against heads, and both come out a lot faster than the flaming sword's equivalent crowd control swings or getting to the third strike of the arming sword's combo for headshotting an armored dude. i think some people in this thread swear by the mace but i absolutely loathe how the starter to both combos is an overhead, not having any sort of get out of my personal space attack available as a first swing is a deal breaker to me

So here's something real dumb. For the fastest exp in the game by far, just die as quickly as possible on recruit. 1) Pick a class with a dash (Slayer, Foot Knight, Handmaiden, Zealot, Battle Wizard) 2) Choose Hunger in the Dark on Recruit 3) Wait for your ult to charge 4) Dash off the cliff right at the start 5) Collect 100xp It takes me 1:20 to do this from keep to keep, factoring in the loading screens. A full tome + grim completion on recruit is 660 exp, and takes on average 20 minutes. Just jumping off the cliff for 20 minutes will net you about 1500 exp. Even though Champ has a 150% exp modifier, you get less for dying. PRO E-SPORTS STRATS

I was going to post about how I had no real problems with the community, then I just had a game where I died against a troll right before the end and one of the players stood outside the gate and started a kick vote so I wouldn't get my rewards.Tom Gorman posted:So here's something real dumb. 100% speedrun when?

How do you assist teammates? I got some equipment which activates on assists. Is it just saving them from specials?

I found the hand attack to have a pretty decent range, and the knockback on it is very good. Maybe I was just comparing it to the beta, and I don't actually understand ranges anymore. I'm having fun with my deliberate avoidance of cheese fireball/fire sword.

hemale in pain posted:How do you assist teammates? I got some equipment which activates on assists. Is it just saving them from specials? Right now its only from saving them from specials, but back in V1 you used to get assists for killing enemies about to hit your teammates. I only hope they add that back in because any trait or talent that requires you to assist someone is wasted with the current setup.

I want more numbers in the passives. More explanations. Does the WHC passive work if another party member tags it? What if they tag it, then you tag it? How much even is it?

pmchem posted:This is amusing. How fast would the XP be if you haven’t unlocked a dash ability and had to just die normally? You won't be able to die fast enough to make it efficient. You can't just jump off the cliff (you'll hang off the edge and your bots will pull you up). You need the dash to achieve optimal DPM (Deaths per Minute). Unfortunately if you don't have a dash the fastest way to get exp is to play the game normally.

AggressivelyStupid posted:dual daggers are terrible so don't use them Daggers are cool and good but once you learn to love the long shafts you never go back. The spear's block + attack + stam regen on shieldmaiden means you can just hold block and then spam push+attack for days. I have a bunch of +stam gear and block/push % + talent. It feels like I'm blocking/pushing things at a wider angle than my FOV right now. Anyone know what the base push/block angles are?

In terms of getting loot, I've been hearing that it is more productive to actually just complete missions quickly, rather than worry about tomes+grims. So far most higher level Vet games and all the Champion games I've been in have skipped the books (which means Salty's abjure temptation would probably be more than a bit useless).Stanley Pain posted:Anyone know what the base push/block angles are? I've been wondering that too. I've gotten a number of items that boost push/block angles and I'm not sure I really notice the effect. Perhaps it would be more noticeable on a weapon like a shield? And, sort of unrelated, but the falchion seems to have ap which doesn't quite make sense but does make the weapon even easier to use than in VT1. I still think the rapier may be more versatile for crowds and the axe getting shield breaking capabilities is nice, but the falchion seems to be a bit brainless to use. Just slide a little bit here and there and whack away at stuff.

To everyone complaining about Sienna thinning the hordes a little while you jump in front of her (and obviously NOT her roasting you all while you're actually fighting the hordes because THAT would never happen) every time one of you trigger happy simpletons wings her with errant ranged attacks the likelihood of her going into an overdrive-based-meltdown and destroying half the Reikland increases starkly.

I just tried it too and yeah fire walk doesn't seem to work, so scratch that one. I didn't try it with Sienna since I have her leveled already, I just assumed it would work the same. It definitely works for the other 4 though.
