Do you think there is any value in that though?And he has extra combat feats, so he can be passable archer/melee too.
I just gave up trying to make mine do anything useful, he hits like a wet noodle and there's just no point

Depending on the party you are running, I guess. For Trickster, having extra body fishing for crits with Fauchard and Ever Ready would never hurt, and his AB will be high enough under his own buffs. And Sun Marked spell from Angel heaps a ton of divine damage on any hit, you just need to connect it. I have also went for Heavenly Host sword upgrade for the party I was preparing against DLC 3 secret boss, so my Skald attack stats looked like that:I just gave up trying to make mine do anything useful, he hits like a wet noodle and there's just no point
Could you provide a breakdown of the AB bonus please? I assume a large percentage of it is MoJ?Depending on the party you are running, I guess.

Well, his chances to hit the boss were 5% but he was more than adequate against everything else.
No Moj, but he got his own Song, Sensei song, Angel's Army of Heaven + food, and looks like +1 from Haste on Skald's capstone stacks with normal HasteCould you provide a breakdown of the AB bonus please? I assume a large percentage of it is MoJ?
You’ve got enough buffs available to start with 14/14/19 and do fine in melee/intimidating/casting by midgame. I like Med + Shield + Scimitar (Skald gets Martial, Bard doesn’t) on Skald backed up by Image to offtank after casting/intimidating first round.No Moj, but he got his own Song, Sensei song, Angel's Army of Heaven + food, and looks like +1 from Haste on Skald's capstone stacks with normal HasteCould you provide a breakdown of the AB bonus please?

What I've tried to say is that any body could make some martial input with enough buffs, and mid BAB Skald who can start with 18+ in DEX/STR without too much harm for his main function is not the worst body to build upon.
Is this game even playable now? I booted it after a looong break and in many fights in TB every other enemy seems to freeze for like 20-30 seconds with "???" status icon over their heads after they do what they do, forcing me to T+T all the time and making TB mode p. much a no go. I also get shitload of visual glitches (enemy corpses t-posing, cloaks of killed characters waving) that I never had before. Latest patch and no mods. Screw this shit, seriously.
This is the best description of the current state of the game I have found. Surely, you can clutch to your non-reproducible glitches and go play Animal Crossing; however, the sad truth is that WotR will never be as polished as some console releases. So you either take it or you play something else. There are plenty of other games out there.The main game is stable, fun, and well designed. I'm on something like my eleventh run. I have experienced zero game breaking bugs in the last week. However, numerous minor bugs exist.
Some archetypes do not work at all. Many of them have minor bugs of some kind. Some of those are advantageous, others detrimental. Some items don't work. Most, probably 95%, are fine. The weirdest of each group are most likely to have issues. Generic classes like Cleric are perfectly fine.
Angel, Aeon, Azata, and Lich are all stable. Trickster is completely playable, but (somewhat appropriately) has a couple bugs and odd interactions. Legend is good, Devil is stable but bad, Swarm is stable but clearly unfinished. No comment on Demon or Dragon.
Non-reproducible glitches my ass. Elemental Engine is not weird, it's the default nuker Kinnie. Winter Witch isn't weird, it's the main Prestige Class they added and promoted. The basic ability on one of the three general types doesn't work.Is this game even playable now?

I have to wonder what their pipeline is. In my experience this is sort of thing happens when you either have poor version control or you have a tendency to make a lot of changes without tickets properly recording what was done. It's possible they just have bad QA, but 95% of the game works pretty well so I think it has more to do with keeping track of what changes are actually being made to make sure they are tested.How hard is it to test something that you've just added to the game to make sure it works? I mean have some fucking pride in what you're doing. You deserve that - the ideas in the game are brilliant. The execution is just utterly maddening.
It is boring on the battlefield so they kill time by shitposting.Do any of young male russians even have a day job other than shitposting for $0,01 per post for one "cause" or the other?
Well, I wouldn't usually make my MC a "dedicated" skill monkey... but normally I do invest in at least 3 skills, have decent to good Int. This also allows me to take advantage of the option "only skill user gets experience from skills" for some nice extra xp on the main char.Unless you are playing solo there is zero reason to make you main your skill monkey.There little problem with this - there no divine caster who uses Int as stat for casting (No occultist class or that one Inquisitor sub-class, Holic hasn't made a mod for WOTR). And why I want Int and not Char or Wis? Skills and also there plenty Char casters. And I decided against Wis caster because I have no inspiration to play one as right now. Damn this class level limit, otherwise I would be playing a single class caster.You want to combine two classes that use same casting stat.I plan to start a Mystic Theurge+loremaster walkthrough: Legend Path, wizard/oracle.
Now I am ready to use gestalt leveling if needed (and remove caster level restriction, because fuck this shit with level 20 restriction for classes, I wanted to play wizard 40), but I cannot decide between Seeker and Philosopher subclasses for Oracle. I decided for Wizard to go Spell Master, although I can be wrong.
Now important question is race (thinking about aasimar or human) and how exactly ability scores should be distributed at the start of the game, because character will be MAD (fucking insane, if you ask me).
Any suggestions?
Perhaps it sounds crazy and convoluted, but I just want to play Legend as proper caster.
Reading the next feats, it gets even more op... unrelenting assault in mythic is broken too, completly op, and bugged since it becomes permanent bonus instead of just each combat.
LannTheStupid's not shitposting. If you're just playing the memes what he's saying makes perfect sense, and for all we know it could be the internal Owlcat rationalization for the poor QA. But the replayability is a major selling point and everybody stuck playing the same few "builds" kills that. Marketing understood this because they were the ones who promoted the race-specific archetypes and new classes like Hunter and Winter Witch. They fell flat because they were never properly implemented, not because they were "weird" or "niche."It is boring on the battlefield so they kill time by shitposting.Do any of young male russians even have a day job other than shitposting for $0,01 per post for one "cause" or the other?
I got banned by the retarded Tranzi community manager (he went over and got me banned on Steam too) the week after winning the Owlcat Forum award for generating the highest level of likes on my posts for telling some guy (who wrote a comprehensive and insightful account of the things he liked about the combat etc…) that he could just give a favorable review instead of tacking on a perfunctory panning of the crusade piece (which unlike his account of the combat gave no explanation for what he didn’t like) so it would be “fair and balanced”.Desiderius Well, if your "bug reports" have the form of "this class is missing the feature I deem necessary, so add it ASAP reeeeeee!" then I understand why you have been banned everywhere. However, you're probably one of a kind.
Steam forums are a notorious cesspit of human filth when it comes to mods. I came here from the Dark Souls ones, and I can tell you they have the exact same issues.That’s it. Dude got pissed and reported me evidently, then no warning, no personal message, just permanent ban.
The heart of any game with staying power (and the sales that go with them) is an evolving meta, where people find something that works then everybody chases that
There are no single-player forums. If you wanted to play a single-player game by that definition you wouldn’t be here.The heart of any game with staying power (and the sales that go with them) is an evolving meta, where people find something that works then everybody chases that
Wut.
This is a single player RPG, not an MMO. Why the hell are you talking about metas?
The game has both problems.Desiderius I am not very interested in your personal drama. I have been banned from using statuses on this exactly forum for more than 6 months now. So what?
My point is that bugs and missing features are cardinally different things.
A bug is something that already exists in the game, that is expected to behave one way, but does not.
A missing feature is something that was never added - which means it was never planned, was never coded and the resources for that were never budgeted. If someone reports about missing features in the bug report interface, such a player deserves everything from a ban by IP to a nuclear strike by geolocation.
That is why I am extremely skeptical to all the whining about "mah bugzzz". If one of the most advanced players does not distinguish between asking to fix something and asking to add something - then what can be said about uncouth masses who complain about "bugs".
I remember seeing here a person from the Italian financial IT sphere; he did understand what bugs are and what bugs are not. Probably, he has too much on his plate now.
