They're real bad if your team doesnt have a stagger ult or realize you can use bombs to stop his eating attack. DONT WASTE YOUR BOMBSAAAAAAAAAAAA Stormfiend feels like a joke and we always seem to beat it with minimal damage.

I'm still convinced that stormfiends are easier than vanilla ogres and it's still weird to me.

Anyways I tool Coolguy's advice and started playing Unchained. It's p fun and feels way more tanky which is good, but I think I'm still stuck in "ranged" mindset and don't get up and dagger people enough yet opting to sit and beam but its nice not instantly dying if something gets behind me still. Also it's hard to judge how much getting hit will generate overcharge/also remember that getting hit by a boss spawn will pop me into overcharge death and stupidly died a few times. still would recommend it over pyro just from a fun-factor and a little easier to carry people since you can tank and block more. the only thing I wish is you could use your ult to clear out overcharge if you have it up when you get put into deathmode. but that's mostly because Im a loving idiot.

Zhulik posted:I'm still convinced that stormfiends are easier than vanilla ogres and it's still weird to me. You can animation trap Stormfiends by having people take turns slapping the Krang rat and backstepping the instant retaliation swipe. Even without that their weak point is a hell of a lot easier for the majority of the team to hit any given moment than a rat ogre's head, and their flamethrower attacks involve planting themselves in one spot and effectively holding up a neon sign saying THIS IS WHEN YOU KICK MY rear end. They're a lot less psychotically aggressive than rat ogres, which is basically the only thing rat ogres have going for them now. I honestly feel relief when the rat bosses show up, because trolls are just a loving pain in the neck and chaos spawn can either be a slightly trickier rat ogre or an instant run ender depending on how delicious you/your pubbies are feeling.

I was playing a righteous stand as a new lvl1 dwarf with bots just dicking around seeing if i could, and a chaos spawns at the very start and I'm like eh no and just ran for the elevator in the circular room thinking it'd just despawn. I felt safe for like a few minutes then boom, it jumped into the barracks so I ran and let the bots die again and nope, kept coming. It will climb every place imaginable and keep coming even even to the end. I guess that makes sense since otherwise people would just ignore them.

Boss fights suck a lot yes. What also sucks is these stupid fields of wheat so I can't see where the loving acid is. The whole party wiped to that. I've only won like twice in eight games because of bosses or this wheat.

There's multiple characters that each need seperate leveling, and your hero power is mostly determined by items. So if you wanted to, you can just pick another character and/or equip low-tier stuff to play with them.

Chaos spawn is pretty much the same.

Chaos spawn is pretty much the same. Chaos spawn seems to love doing that about 2/3rds thru his multiple groundpound if he's grabbed a hold of someone. He'll do most of the attack and then flip 180° and hit you with the last few. It's really goddamn annoying. Here are some other gifs about annoying things: Shotgun blasts missing front targets Cleave / phantom hits

stormfiends would be a lot harder if they moved around and sprayed fire everywhere so everything got set on fire and maneuvering around/behind them became trickier, also if the fire they set lasted longer as it is now they're basically punching bags who sit in one spot spraying fire in exactly one direction so the whole "control area and make navigating the battlefield harder" idea doesn't ever happen e: put another way, every other boss is unpredictable and mobile, whereas the stormfiend is predictable and stationary President Ark fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Mar 21, 2018 |

I'm liking the spooky elf way more than I thought I would. I thought I'd try it once and then leave it. and then I took off close to a third of a boss' health bar with one glaive downswing. the repeater crossbow is fun too. I'm not really sure how to use its specialty other than assassinating chaos warriors and ruining bosses who dare to turn their back to you, since I have basically the same issue with it as I do with backstabbery, which is that this is just about the last game where you ever want to put enemies in between you and your teammates and turn your back to the direction the enemies are coming from. But even if assassinating is all you use the career for, it seems drat useful since bosses are the worst. I never tried it, does the power actually let you pass right through enemies? because if so it could do a hell of a clutch revive too.
