resourceful combatant stacks with the natural concentration gain from dealing damage so it doesn't really change anything.

toasterwarrior posted:On a related note: apparently the reload talent doesn't work for Kruber's longbow? At least according to reddit? Apparently it's attack speed that affects the rate at which he nocks a new arrow... yeah, you need to think of the bows in this game as having a "magazine" of their total ammo count. you're not technically "reloading", you're just firing the next shot

SuperKlaus posted:edit: the trouble with Brace versus Volley, at least regarding BH, is it really offers nothing. You refer to shooting down Maulers when Blessed isn't up, but that's exactly what Volley triple bursts do. Much more expeditiously than Brace. Man I did say the volley crossbow looks lame

Ironically, I think the best illusion for the pistols are the default ones, because the alternatives either have the wooden furniture extending all the way to the barrel and making the entire gun look like it's a floating stock, or have these giant knobs on the grip for bashing but mostly for looking ridiculous.

Yeah but if you're attacking faster you're putting out more damage and getting more gain from that. Resourceful likely still generates more meter but I would expect Swift Slaying closes the meter gap enough to make it the better choice, given its other features.

Well, for the bow, the ammunition is the arrows, and the bow only holds the one arrow. For the brace, the ammo is pistols. They're fired and discarded. I would be amused if it said 1/24, then you hold right click and it switches to 2/23. Anyway, I guess the main difference between the bow and other weapons that have a "current ammo" count is that you can't put it away and pull it back out unloaded.

This especially doesn't make sense to me, with bows. You have to reload it anyway when you pull it out, why do you have to load it before you put it away? This has got me walloped so many times as Huntsman...

Arghy posted:Honestly scrounger should be available on melee weapons because first, it will encourage good game play by making people melee more and second, it will allow more flexibility for ranged weapon traits. At the moment its either swift slaying or nothing because of the way damage regens your ult. Scrounger on melee would also allow way more ranged weapons to be viable on different careers..

I have the game running on max settings and it runs just fine except for when Sienna does her beam staff shotgun blast that hits 50 rats, that makes it dip considerably for a couple seconds. Does anyone know what video setting that is? I figured it was particle effects, but lowering that didn't change it.

Two things I noticed playing Sienna. 1. Her flame sword sizzles when it cuts rats. Like water touching a hot element and drat that is a loving sweet bit of sound design. How can anyone hate this weapon? 2. She has the best dialogue with Saltzpyre of any of the five.

Trying to get Kruber leveled to 20 is the first time I have dead-rear end Not Had Fun playing this game. Of all the cast he has by far the least ability to handle specials. Hey guess what enemy category scrubs the most runs?  i swear to loving christ j_sat is a virus. i don't want to play as anything but kerillian and saltz just because seeing someone trying to ape the j_sat shade and zealot builds without any of j_sat's technical competence is a heavy weight to carry as Just Some Guy with a hammer, a breech loading musket and a mean rugby tackle.

Its aesthetics are superb, I'll admit that 8 days outta the week, but if you're confused why folk hate on it you haven't gotten to know the longsword and/or dagger's attack patterns well enough.

Kruber's handgun is amazing at taking down specials, just so long as they are polite enough to come one at a time and give you time to reload the thing and they don't survive the first shot.

Well you start by using your ammo in the first 60 seconds of the game, and then continue by deciding a five second buff is PROBABLY enough to finish off the horde you charge into, and furthermore--

I'll try those two out. I've just progressed from using Sauron Mace to the fire sword and got hooked on the sounds it makes. The cool fire claw she does every second hard swing is fun even though the weapon it's pretty shoddy against armor overall.

Is there much of a problem with going into Champion games with gear at level 120-ish? Veteran is killing me slowly with poor team work, dudes running half a mile out of their way to kill that rat over there or shooting the guy I'm literally swinging at just to get that sweet sweet scoreboard tally.

The only reason i say above 15 is because people will give you poo poo/kicked for it often if you're below that--mostly by bad teams you dont want to play with anyways. But it happens. No one really questions anything below 20 tho because everyone has alts and poo poo by this point and you have the most important talent in the game which is Temp HP on Kill Xaris fucked around with this message at 05:51 on May 2, 2018 |

I couldn't take it and started leveling my Bardin in Champ the moment I got Ironbreaker unlocked. I'm 18 on him now and I honestly can't remember losing a mission with him. It's obviously all thanks to me and my gleaming dongliz. The only character I won't take into Champ now is Sienna because I'm absolutely wretched with her, but I haven't won a single Veteran game yet.

I don't recall that happening, but Saltz himself loves to talk to Bardin or Sienna when they're not even in the game. Best part is when he calls that character out for friendly fire. Is this how you honour the alliance etc. Main two bugs I'm dealing with right now: - Horde music (especially those loving drums) getting stuck in a perpetual loop, usually for the rest of the run. Can happen on any map, but particularly Convocation of Decay. No sound cues would be a good deed modifier, but I'm not a fan of it happening randomly in normal games. - One of the characters permadies/never respawns somehow and we have to finish the run with three players. Seems to happen especially when there's a difficult boss fight or something and it takes you some time to rescue them. This actually is a deed modifier, but again it's happening in regular games, and quite often since the last few patches. Phlegmish fucked around with this message at 06:30 on May 2, 2018 |

So I finally convinced my regular group to make the bump up from Veteran to Champion last night, and things were going just fine. There are only three of us, so we had to rely on a pubbie to fill the fourth slot. We get a quickplay Skittergate, and since none of us is playing elf we naturally get an elf for that pubbie wildcard. He's not too great, went down the most, but we get by and clear the level to make the post-boss victory run to the elevator. We're all on temp health due to a sloppy boss fight, but hey, we did it, right? Back pats all around! Alas, the elf's natural urge to indiscriminately murder fleeing slave rats powerfully asserts itself at just the wrong time. Three rats are in front of me, posing no threat, and what do I hear but a "FOR KURNOUS!" and a trueflight volley slams into my back, killing me instantly. The salt in the wound is the group didn't wait around for me to respawn. Elf. Elf never changes.
