3) Spear is the black sheep of the weapon types because the two finesse-based skillsets, Huntsman and Scoundrel, use Bows/Daggers exclusively. You can use Warfare skills with a spear but those all work off strength.

You were reading warfare skill descriptions while you had a strength weapon equipped....weren't you?

Remove the strength weapon, equip either a spear or dagger and look again.

You'll see it quite clearly changes and says that it now scales off of Finesse.

Spear is actually REALLY good with warfare because stuff like whirlwind has a huge distance increase. In fact, I'd say that spears are potentially BETTER than standard 2handers if only because of the range upgrade.

Main problem with spears is that there seems to be a shortage of them (or my luck just sucks).

Has anyone made a party that does both types of damage actually work? I did that on tactician (going in blind) and got hosed in the first act completely. Almost had to restart. After respeccing to one damage type though, the game became 1000x more manageable.

Yeah.

I recently restarted to mess with some mods, but the party I had up to act 3 was:

2x summoners for armor stripping (physcial and elemental). Blood for physical (later bone widow), fire for elemental (those fireballs are scary).

2x dagger/shield CC'ers. They had shield throw for physical damage and scoundrel has a few pretty good magical armor stripping attacks (and outside of that their damage sucked :downs:). Otherwise there job was to do lockdown/support/healing duty, including stuff like teleporting and whatnot.

Once the summoners maxed out they actually started looking like the CC'ers. Likewise my CC'ers started picking up summoning once I picked up everything I wanted for them.

This was on Tactician.

edit - if I ever go back to that game, I would likely change the dagger/shield guys to a more straight up mage archtype and drop summoner (I love it and all, but 4 summons is kinda a headache). I'd be tempted to drop the daggers and give them wands, but then I'd lose access to the nice knockdowns in warfare.

Maybe I'd keep them with daggers and go magic. One in pyro and one in geo. I'd lose 20% damage (since you need a 14 at max I think to use equipment linked to a particular stat).

grrrr....too much to think about.

You can, but any skills he learns from doing this will be lost if you un-equip the mask.

Not true. They stay.

Everything I find on Wiki says I've completed every step on each of them but nothing. On The Ropes is the worst as it seems fairly major. Also with that, why the gently caress is this major storyline removing Pet Pal? What a piece of poo poo move

You literally just learned to suck the souls out of your animal "pals". Losing Pet Pal seems like a reasonable consequence to me :downs:

stick summoning on sebille because the flesh wound thing lets you start every fight by summoning a blood infused incarnate

My problem with that is that I use summoning spells as "ranged" attacks (i.e. getting them where they need to be as summoned rather than waste ap to get there).
