Sure, why not. Make me a Grave Robber, Occultist or Houndmaster AKA the best classes. EDIT: I agree with Iron Chitlin that you should be Plague Grenading the Cultist constantly. The one you fought at the 12:30 mark was just in range for a kill and would have prevented the Stressful Incantation, for example. EDIT EDIT: You did it with the one at 15:00, though

I'd say go for the Hamlet, get it out of the way. You have way less rotation than I do. I usually don't upgrade anything until my toons are two missions in and haven't picked up any disgusting traits.

Good writeup.Highwang posted:Alongside that, I'm the kind of guy that demands the best out of my soldiers, gently caress that, they are things to be used and discarded when broken. Only those with good traits and not too damaged deserve to be somewhat fixed and given a sharper stick. The rest get shoved into the dungeon for one last supply run and then get the boot.

Highwang posted:You're a cruel man. A dull rod can be a club and a simple stick can pierce hide when sharpened enough. I believe that any character can be good with enough...training... Agreed. I'm bad at this game, and probably break way too many toons. I know I wouldn't be able to win NG+ due to the time limit, for example. I'm genuinely interested in seeing how you work with a somewhat stable roster.

Grave Robbers and Arbalests are awesome. Pick to the Face may be my favorite attack name and animation in the game. I have to say that I understand your approach of savaging people instead of my rotating door policy, because they have made quirks depending on stress instead of the way it was while I played, which was EDIT: About what to talk about, I'd say Preparation first, and then the Ruins.

double nine posted:So if you have a late-game party wipe, is it still possible to do the ruins or similarly low-level areas to train the rookies that replace them or do the various regions level up in difficulty as the game goes on? And if the latter how to compensate for that? There are always low level dungeons and more recruits available, so you can recover from everything. NG+ gives you a time limit and a maximum of dead heroes.

StrangeAeon posted:How do you deal with having healers constantly leveling up out of range of your dungeons? Annoying as this is, I really, really like that the game constantly pushes you out of your comfort zone. You want to 100% the game? gently caress you. Either go with non-traditional (i.e. no pure healer) party or face the bosses with scrubs fresh off the coach.

To be fair, a party that can deal more damage to the back ranks than to the front is rare (basically, anything that includes a Crusader, Hellion or Leper doesn't) or deals less damage in general and has to rely on other tricks. Plus enemies that start in the back ranks are usually neutered by moving them to the front, so removing corpses makes the game easier 95% of the time.

Halser posted:How do you say that while mentioning two of the classes with the most devastating back row moves in the game? Holy Lance has a higher crit mod than Smite and does the same damage, so oddly enough the Crusader is better at killing the back rank than the front rank. Because the skills you mention are way more situational than Wicked Hack and Smite. Iron Swan is not a Wicked Hack clone: it hits exactly one position from exactly one position, compared to 2-2 for Wicked Hack. You kill the first guy and are back to punching the front row or dealing -35% or -55% damage to that third spot you're theoretically focusing on. Meanwhile, Holy Lance requires positioning shenanigans and more mobility that the Crusader can provide on his own, because you have to use someone's turn to move the Crusader back. Parties that focus on dealing with the back rows first and foremost and that include those classes are going to jump though more hoops than, say, an Arbalest, Occultist, Grave Robber and Highwayman, or a Meatgrinder party where melee classes hit the dudes on the front. If you have to go out of your way to target the people you're supposedly focusing on with half of your party, your composition is uncommon. It's possible, but not the "usual" way to use those characters. The 8 people on Twitch (I know, I know...) I have just checked are using those classes as pure meatsticks to beat the front row guys and take hits from the front row. Every party I've seen that has a Hellion or a Crusader can deal more damage to the front lines. Hence, "Basically, anything that includes a Crusader, Hellion or Leper can deal more damage to the front rows than the back", which is what I said. Add Abomination to that list, BTW. Genocyber posted:Ayup. A party kitted out to take out the backrow is not hard to make. Agreed. It's good I didn't say that, then. I said that removing corpses makes the game easier except in very weird situations, because teams that can deal more damage to the front rows are more common that the ones that can deal more damage to the back rows. Especially when a teams includes a close combat specialist. Fat Samurai fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Sep 8, 2016 |

Halser posted:or you could just use the Graverobber's devastating Lunge move or Duelist's Advance to reset everything. The Crusader is slow as hell so it's pretty easy to sync these moves. As Wayne said, Lunge doesn't work beyond a one-two combo. And if you're using Duelist's Advance you're relying on speed rolls, which will usually go your way, but not always. In any case, you need more characters to make a back row Crusader work, which is entirely my point. It's viable, but front row classes are front row classes for a reason. Holy Lance is there mostly to reposition a Crusader if needed, focusing him on back row attacks first and foremost requires building a party around him and it is way more fiddly than jut mowing front row enemies. Mort posted:Even with a front row crusader I'll almost always bring holy lance. It's a godsend if you get surprised and shuffled.

Spoilers because this is the first post after the video: Yay Collector!  I love the design of this guy and its mooks, the trigger for his appearance and its loot, because giving Dismas' head to him will never not be funny.I usually priority target the Highwaymen, though. The Vestal cannot keep up with high damage teams and I usually run stun heavy teams, so I can cancel Guard. Plus I take Bleed status as a personal insult.
