Might and Magic Might & Magic X - Legacy

Mamushi fight is easy, you just gotta fuck with the boss positioning somehow and try to get a wall on your back.
Fighters absolutely need perception or they will miss, which makes them MAD as fuck.

Wait what? Perception increases chance to hit? What bullshit is this?

 

[Excidium]

Yeah it gives ranged damage and attack.

Yep.
Attack Value = accuracy.

 

[Stabwound]

Yes, perception increases accuracy/chance to hit. No "accuracy" like older MMs. Who knows just how much it factors in though.

 

[Lhynn]

Does that mean having only 1 fighter fucks that fighter over, but having 4 may be a good way to do sustained high damage without resting?
Im talking about enemies blocking

It helps. A blade-dancer is especially useful for this as you get very early on 4 attacks a turn, and by the end even without shenanigans you get 7. So attacking with a Blade-dancer first means that either all his attacks go through or the enemy can't block anyone else.

As i have said, though, raising Attack Value seems to help with blocking (maybe people are not raising Armor either and under-estimating the penalty?). Likewise, try to get a 'Relentless' weapon (you get a second strike). My Crusader got one very early on in the Lighthouse, and i am still using it in act III.

 

[Excidium]

I only get shit weapons with +elemental damage and some useless proc chance thing.

Also those weapons that deal some pathetic bonus aoe damage must be the worst, I haven't tested yet but it seems they awaken sleeping enemies.

 

[veryalien]

I'm starting to wonder if a tank character is completely useless and I should just focus on pure deeps.

Crusader's light spells are useful for mitigating damage but ... not sure if worth t.

 

[Lhynn]

Im going to make my crusader full magic and use the light armor, its better than regeneration to mitigate damage. then ill make a free mage full wind/dark/prime and a druid full earth. the 4th slot will probably go to some other caster. all of them half spirit half magic, seems to me its the best way to go.

 

[Excidium]

then ill make a free mage full wind/dark/prime

Oh man you'll regret that if you go that route.

 

[veryalien]

What is stat distribution for melee characters? 2 might, 1 perception, 1 vitality?

I was building my crusader up like he was a tank soaking up damage but it really looks like taunting is crap in this game.

 

[Lhynn]

why? wind lighting seems OP. dark im guessing gonna have good spells later on, prime means teleport + utility

I think Druids have Water too right? and Water is surprisingly good at a number of stuff, so i wouldn't count it out.

My Defender is great against bosses and small groups of strong enemies. Buffed up skills like Shatter or Challenge are a big help. And with buffed up Axe skill and a decent axe he's not bad in a large scale free for all either.

Although as for pure dmg, he starts to lag behind my Bladedancer.

 

[sser]

Ah man. I completely went the 'wrong' way with this game. I just recently got back on the main path after going as far as the Menthil Coastline - so I'm returning to the Act 2 questline where you go to the "Lost City" - except my party is all super leveled and I'm walking through enemies and bosses like they might as well not be there. Oops. (Also got my Bladedancer to Blademaster, but he doesn't have the 50mana to execute his whirlwind, aw.) No wonder everything was so goddam hard a lot of the time, but it certainly made my party a lot better and equipped with all kinds of super relics.

 

[Excidium]

Because with three magic skills your skill points will too spread around. You'll have a lot of spell but low damage and running out of mana really fast. I guess you can focus on wind at stop darkness at expert since you get sleep and purge. But don't you need to master prime to get teleport? Seems like a lot of skill points for something you don't really need.

OK rerolling. I think I just need to tweak my stat distribution:

Crusader:

1 might
2 viality
1 perception

Blade Dancer:

2 might
1 vitality
1 perception

Free Mage/Druid:

2 magic
2 vitality

 

[Zed]

at expert warfare there's an unavoidable, sure-to-hit attack for only 10 mana.

 

[Excidium]

It deals p. pathetic damage in my experience though. I think it's the worst you can do with expert warfare in a turn, between armor pen, taunt and the "silence".

2 magic
2 vitality

Oh man you'll regret this too. Enjoy casting 30 mana spells with 100 mana.

 

[Decado]

Does anyone know which classes eventually get multiple strikes per round? Or is it entirely dependant upon the weapon skill level?

Also, where the hell is the manual?

 

[Excidium]

Weapon skill levels don't give multiple strikes...at least mace and axe don't.

 

[Zed]

Druids can get a ton of mana with GM Mysticism.
It's nice to pump Spirit early but later on you don't really need as much.

 

[Lhynn]

Mercenary seems to be an evasion tank and little else.

And yeah exci, its spread out at first, but you get enough points to master them all eventually.

 

[Excidium]

Yeah, and by then you're already almost finished with the game. Granted with the odd placement of trainers you are kinda forced to spread out anyway.

Oh yeah there's that. I wish I knew how great mysticism is when I started. Would have pumped only that and earth magic on my shaman.

 

[Zeriel]

Ok, how do i beat Ravenous Ghouls?

Use either knockbacks (gust of wind) or stuns/disables (Time Stasis, Freeze, etc) when they are below half health, or if you attacked and missed ever.

This is exactly what I did, though in my case it's intentional, I always like playing M&M games as freeform as possible, just exploring and seeing wherever I can go as soon as possible.
