If you mess with it, it really is your own fault

I didn't manage to find that fucker

Anyway, who the hell sells dino bones in ch.5? I swear to God I saw some 100 pieces on someone but I was drunk, somehow decided it was smart to buy when I was sober and forgot where I saw them.

No one sells dino bones period (no one I found at least). Which is extremely aggravating. Thankfully I have a brown fur transmuter who just doles out Frightening aspects which are almost as good (not quite though, stats are the same but legendary increases weapon damage by two factors vs FA's one).

If you really did find someone selling them, I'd like to really know who it was. Shame you were drunk.

 

[Cryomancer]

Azata run and Trickster run done, to the Angel/Golden Dragon run we go.

Go lich next. Lich is amazing.

 

[Rusty Eyes]

OK, several playthroughs for several people have come and gone, so once again I raise my question - which Path has the most unique content/reactivity/depth etc.?

 

[TheEntitledOne]

I thought Playful Darkness was well telegraphed. You find dead demon bodies along the way (you didn't kill them, so something else must did), and then the trail of bodies leads to a alcove where the ground is completely covered with skeletons and there is some loot at the center. I saw that and thought "Yeah something nasty is gonna pop out the moment I go near that place."

Problem is that he aggros even if you don't get close the bonepit itself, whenever any of the cunts of the area attack you. At least he is rather trivial if you bombard him with positive energy.

A tie between Azata and Lich. The Azata

Spoiler

Gets your tag-along flying island, a team of gnome warriors who clear fights for you, a new spin on the final Act III dungeon unique to them, a quest necissitating the elimination of an entire zone in Act IV, a boss who bursts into enough XP for two level ups, and Aivu.

The Lich

Spoiler

Gets five Undead Companions who all may-or-may-not have unique dialogue (Staunton does for certain), extra dialogue from raising corpses and binding spirits, and Master Zacharius and your Pillar of Skulls.

Can't speak for the others yet, but those two have very high storyfag marks on-top of their unique content and reactivity.

 

[Haplo]

Hm, turns out the bug wasn't that Sohei cannot use other mounts then horses.
Apprently the bug is that you cannot pick a 3rd Animal Companion class at all. And its still there.
Damn.

 

[Parabalus]

Oh wow, so it turns out that everyone who was crying about Playful Darkness being impossible to hit was just a little bitch. Who would have thought?

The encounter is absurdly overtuned, but so are your characters by that point. If you throw all your resources at him, you can easily reach the threshold where the only way to miss him is a natural 1. By that point, you have to try really hard not to be capable of stacking a total of +63 to hit (between actual to-hit bonuses and AC penalties).

Such a brutal fight is still unwarranted, though. It should be announced in a clearer way. Not "pop-up that tells you to prepare for the next fight" levels of clearness, but something close to that. In its current state, I don't see how you could ever survive without having failed the encounter at least once. But, again, I can't even see how you could find him impossible to hit after having failed it at least once.

The fight is poorly telegraphed, I agree. But as you said, it is also very possible to beat it. Out of the optional boss fights, I feel like the

Pathetic Quasit

is the best telegraphed. If you mess with it, it really is your own fault :D

What is the Playful Darkness though?

PF lore wise.

I am feeling lucky tonight!!

What is the Playful Darkness though?

PF lore wise.

It's a rare and very dangerous demon known as a Noob-Filterer. Humans worship these majestic creatures to discover whose opinions one should immediately discard.

E.g., the guy who definitely doesn't need Ember's Evil Eye to hit things:

Btw on hard i wasn't able to hit playful darkness even fully buffed (including legendary proportions) + guarded heart + inspiring command + mark of justice,
I solved the issue using a combination of summons, blade barriers, pillars of life (that I take shouldn't be stacking?), fireballs with ascendant fire and cave traps, + seelah taking the pain with last stand.

Now at least we know that his opinions should be taken with a grain of salt.

A bunch of leftist streamers, and only one of them picks Aeon... funny that.

Isn't resistant to Sickened, or Nauseated, or Dazed, or Hideous Laughter, or Confusion or Acid.

Damn.

I did that one on my Sohei/Hunter/Gandarme with the Wolf. You can't choose to proceed current pet progression for the second time, but you can skip to the next tab in leveling window with > without choosing anything, and pet levels will still be calculated correctly.

what class split are you doing on that one? I have been thinking about doing the exact same 3 classes but I am pondering whether or not to go to sohei 11 for an extra attack and where to stop with the hunter.

"Why you can't be pro like me guys, it's just 110 AC PFFFF just use that -4 with Ember"

Wow, posting a screenshot taken on unspecified difficulty settings. Very useful.

On hard that thing has AC 78. How in the world you couldn't hit him while fully buffed with Guarded Heart, Inspiring Command, AND Mark of Justice is beyond me. But it kinda makes sense if you actually think that a -4 to AC doesn't matter.

Noob filtered by the Noob-Filterer demon:"Boohoo, I can't hit the bad scary monster"
Noob not filtered by the Noob-Filterer Demon:"Maybe debuff his AC?"
Noob filtered by the Noob-Filterer demon:"lol what a retard fuck you"

Hmm let me check the difficulty in your screenshot, or your level. Anyway I am sure everyone who can't hit PD is retarded, exept you ofcourse.

It was 3 Divine Hound/11 Gandarme/6 Sohei. But this build was meant to go Trickster for the crazy crits with Fauchard, so I only took 6 Sohei levels early to avoid Scroll of Atonement spam due to the loss of the Lawful Alignment.

Trickster can take his Super Crit line (Perception 2) with Gandarme bonus feats, and this had sealed the deal.

Would be better if you showed how to easily hit 110 AC instead of mocking him. That's a bit high of an AC.

What kind of retarded argument is this? Good God, you're making less sense than rusty. FUCKING RUSTY. Seek help.

Why would anyone need to hit AC 110? Even on Hard, that thing """only""" has 78.

I'm playing on Core with a non-optimal party and I could only miss him on a natural 1. Since the difference between Core and Hard is less than (or exactly? I think it was around 68 on Core) 10 points of AC, I'm fairly confident that the same party with a Skald instead of a Bard (an additional +3 to hit due to Inspire Rage + Lethal Stance) and a Freebooter (at least +4 from Bane + Bond) would still hit him reliably even on Hard.

 

[Cryomancer]

Kingmaker I completed in unfair, but this game, I wound't play above core. Not because I can't kill shit in hard/unfair but because in core the game already has too much bloat.

Would be better if you showed how to easily hit 110 AC instead of mocking him. That's a bit high of an AC.

Simple. Don't play in unfair, so you don't need to deal with 110 AC. Deal attribute damage or damages which doesn't need to hit AC. Also dispel his buffs before attacking him, lich's devour magic works amazingly against him. If you are an Azata, try to knock him down with favorable magic + sirroco. Use your dragon breath attack which is sonic damage.

EDIT : i decided. My second run will gonna be a Azata Cryomancer(elemental specialist)

I'm playing as Demonn and it has a ton of unique and reactions towards it.

Act 4 is a banquet of unique/reactions while Act 3 suffered a little but there's still quite few character that outright dislike you, warn or are worried about your Powers. Hyped for ACT 5.

Act 5 is the best reactivity wise because it's so short. But I did not expect anything else.

110 AC, you say?
