Fun Bug:

If you Vital Strike and trigger Cleaving Finish, it Cleaves the Vital strike instead of a regular attack.

With an enlarged reach weapon you do 1k a pop to everyone around.
This will be fixed immediately.
"Daeran attacks Seelah with Cure Serious Wounds. Miss" Concealment miss chance 20%, roll: 6 - failed. :lol:
6months from now:

Owlcat Coder 1: "Wasn't there a bug with Daeran's healing?"
Owlcat Coder 2: "I've no idea what you're talking about."
Owlcat Coder 1: "Oh hey, another fun bug was found. Wanna get to it?"
Owlcat Coder 2: "Sure, just lemme finish my vodka."

Liberating Drezen atm. A good epic city dungeon, feels like invading Costantinople. Is Blightmaw accessible after you complete the events over there?

The more i play the more i like hellknights. They understand war and what warrior need. Just look at their shop. Helmet - bonus ac, armor - bonus dr, hammer - higher base damage and better crit profile. Simple, good, effective.

Nah, but you can backtrack after you get to choose your Mythic Path, so if the fight is too tough, getting Mythic Rank 3 and choosing one of the main-paths might make the fight a lot easier.

Depends on the console release date, they have no respect for us we beta test their shit for free for the upcoming console version.

And all the while, my PC's fans are adding to the sound of the vescavor cloud.

You really need ascended element to wack them... there is also bug crusher/chaser weapon in the camp...
Yeah, the thing about this "Core" difficulty is that you really have to use foreknowledge - what spells to prepare, what party composition and what equipment to have, and in the end if you do everything right, hope RNG doesn't fuck you.
Nuh not really, or at least partially true. From the get-go it's pretty obvious that demons are for example immune to poison and electricity.

If you have someone who can channel heal they really shouldn’t be an issue. In every other case you can scout and return. Once you kill Queen camp is close by.

Always want access to:

Resist Fire (might as well make some Fireball Scrolls to go along with)
Crusader’s Edge
Death Ward

Preferably a Channeler

The only things I regret so far
1) MC is not bard or Seelah is not made bard, or just any bard in the party really.
2) No dwarf priest.. my party is rather weak in the buffs department.
3) Need extra char with high perception so far my spotters are Wendy and Horsey with 16 and 14 and I'm storming Drezen.
Oh and it kinda sucks that magus can choose an only a horse, I could've go with halfling/dworf on a dog or other smaller mount. Magus arcane pool and enchantments affecting horse = rip demons.

Hard is the Meta difficulty.

Unfair takes specific party comps and tactics.

I do have Daeran and I do heal with him. My will saves on my tanks are rather shit though.

I've done that. Here is the temperature, with prestigeous Arcanum skin:

The game tells you piercing and slashing is halved, but never tells you blunt works normally.
Well, I don't know your experience with software development, but usually exceptions require explicit documentation whereas normal, "default" behaviour does not. Of course, then the question is "what is default", but in your case it seems to be clear: "piercing and slashing is halved, the rest is unaffected".

Aru and Wolj get Perception per lvl/2 and so does Lann Sacred Huntmaster or Urban Hunter. His fav meal is also Perception.

Clerics aren’t the main buffers other than themselves and Edge. Shield of Faith is ok and of course Prayer helps as well.

My experience with software development dates back quite a while, but that's not the point. I just never thought about switching weapons for swarms specifically.

It's worth noting that I haven't encountered the advice to use blunt weapons anywhere I've looked when people have been complaining about swarms :)

BTW, on Core, there is an initial attack by 3 swarms, then at least two more pairs appear, for a total of 7. Because hardcore!
Yeah that's like "the wrong route". They want you to go straight north to the queen as fast as possible. Since looting kills your troop, unless you really want the loot there is little point in exploring the place before you kill the queen.

On that note, any way for 24h Haste without Lich?
If you can get the haste to last more than 5 minutes with extends and whatever else you can think of, you might be able to use the mythic feats to get it to last 24 hours.

I realize now that I should have taken the route straight north, through the "royal guard".

Swarms are different. Spider swarms which made out of "miniscule" creatures cannot be attacked directly at all. While the size of the creatures increases swarms become more vulnerable; swarms of ravens in Varnhold's Lot were perfectly vulnerable to common weapons.
