only 5.6% people beat Korrohmazzara whatever his name is army in Crusader mode? I used Sword of the Inheritor and beat in him in one turn. I actually beat every army on map with Sword of the Inheritor.

I think most people decide not to progress that quest, which is probably the sensible thing to do.

Maybe most people are smarter than us and just turn off the crusading.

Yea the crusader mode was just more bloat. It could have been good but it seemed rushed. The suggestions in Alpha didn't change anything they already had most systems in place. I wasn't impressed at all.

Basically you just keep on making a day pass on till he shows up then you fight all the rest of the armies.

The game had it's moments. The Prison was good, Midnight Islands was great could have been even better though.

Give Ember the ring of pyromania, mallanders insult + ascendant element fire and she becomes Ignus. Basically solod the eternal guardian, everyone else just kept him away from her. At this point the only reason to take Nenio over her is haste and sirocco, though I have been doing fine without haste so far and phantasmal putrification is also a very good mass disable. Her character is a big plus too because she was psychologically engineered by ex-KGB psyop specialists to elicit as much sympathy as humanly possible.

I'm actually scared of Camellia now.
She has an animal companion from her second spirit. A dog named Meatloaf.
Trickster crit feats.
Staggering crit.
Artifact confirming all crits on/from her.
Not to mention all self-buffing shaman spells.



I fear no demon. But this woman... scares me.

Has anyone seen Improved Cleaving Finish killing at least three monsters in a row?

I haven't found anything in the latest patch notes, so it's probably still bugged. What happens is that the second cleaving attack gets directed at the target killed by the original attack that triggered Improved Cleaving Finish. The game registers the attack and the damage, but, since the target is already dead from the previous attack, the chain of cleaving attacks ends there. It's pretty sad.

 

[Lagole Gon]

I guess that's one way to balance out Improved Cleaving Finish + Wide Sweep Scythe combo.

The fact that you aren't adding Overwhelming Flames to the equation gives me reasons to believe that you haven't experienced true madness yet. Basically it's a second separate trigger of Wide Sweep. Unless they fixed it somehow, you have to drop the scythe in crowded encounters or you risk crashing the game.

It's why I just went with just basic cleaving finish for my vital strike trickster.

killing 2 enemies per turn (with emphasis being on the biggest and nastiest ones) was enough.

Maybe they realised that Camellia was a bit too fucked in the head

Thank you anon! You are a good anon! I do hate Camellia not wife anon! I do! I do hate puppy murder nonsense anon! I do! I am cute heterosexual human male puppy friend wife scholar! I am!

I just installed a mod, combat reflief , so i can auto-win all crusader battles. Still got all relics without none of the pain.

Guys, I think communal true sight might be fucked. First, noticed it no working when I first fought Areelu. Single target true sight works tho. Makes Xanthir a complete joke.

Gotta say, Wrathfinder has some great weapon variety. There's tons of times where I found a weapon nobody could use efficiently but I wish they did because the weapon was really good. Definitely gonna go with greatswords on my next playthrough, cause there's tons of good ones.

SO THAT'S WHY MY CLEAVE FOCUSSED GENDARME WAS DOING NO FUCKING DAMAGE FUCK YOU OWLCAT

Fuck Owlcat for this bullshit too, they should do it like the IE games and have skill checks in dialogue be based around primary stats instead of rolls. The worst example is at artisan's tower where you fail just one skill check, some asshole slips and needs to make a 31 athletics check or your whole party lands in front of the fucking dragon fatigued and with no time to pre-buff.

Some enemies have concealment that not even True Sight works against them.

 

[Efe]

I dont mind that part but artisan tower being greybor's mission and him being uselss on checks is just sad.
guy has nothing going for him

maybe its concealment from blink

 

[Nikanuur]

...SO THAT'S WHY MY CLEAVE FOCUSSED GENDARME WAS DOING NO FUCKING DAMAGE...

Yep, I went right away to respec my PC gaining some aditional att bonus, flat-damage, improved critical and then some. ...instead of focusing on that reach-weapon-feat-hungry-non-functional Improved Cleaving Finish. Phew, sweat gathers upon my brow no more.

Edit: A Cleaving Finish still works. Though, it needs two Feats, so it might be considered expensive.
And yet, with quite a few members of my party having the Outflank feat, the said PC having the Cleaving Finish and a nice critical range of 17-20... sometimes one single critical means two monsters are gone in a whif, 9 red damage lines hanging in the air instead of them.

I bet it's arguable if this is a waste of Feats or a useful usage of the rng potential (more monsters, more chars means even larger critical range etc...). But it's quite funny to look at, and it does nice THINGS, so your Gendarme is probably also not a waste.

I don't think Areelu had blink on. I'm certain she had displacement though against which true sight should work.

In hindsight, a cleave build does have a steep opportunity cost compared to some other melee builds. It's also useless in most boss fights.

 

[PrK]

Sometimes the game wants you to know that it hates you and you should feel bad. Just roll with it.

Spoiler

 

[Humbaba]

So uh that Playful Darkness fight? No.

Another bit of very neat reactivity: Before the Darrazand fight you can invoke the Godclaw if you worship them and you get a buff called Godclaw's Blessing. Doesn't say what it does but everyone in my party grew a pair of wings. Didn't get anything similar on my last playthrough when I chose Nethys, so I suppose it's limited to a few specific deities or it might be Godclaw exclusive even. Anyway, it turns out that deity selection is not just cosmetic if you're not a cleric. Incline!

 

[Haplo]

Fought them this Tuesday.

Yea, Playful Darkness was fun on hard - 82 AC buffed. And heavy Fortification. Definitely want to dispel him if you plan to use martials to kill him. After a couple dispels and Evil Eye he was down 20 AC and lost fear immunity and Foresight, opening him for Shatter Defenses.

Definitely Sosiel was helpful. Touch of Good was +7 AB. Ironically a few moments after defeating him I went to Abyss and got Mythic Rank 5 - which allowed Sosiel to also use Madness Domain - could have had another +7 untyped AB.

Of course, summoned meatbags to keep him occupied are lifesavers.

 

[Humbaba]

Found out he drops the DEX tome. Shieet now I have to kill him.

 

[Humbaba]

Ok so I did it. But now I'm going to bed.

 

[Nikanuur]

Is there a way to rest at a Fort with the Shelter built? Without the corruption spreading? I can't seem to find out how. I've two such Forts already, it just doesn't seem to work - and I can't "enter" them neither. Just stay on the icon on the map.

 

[Lagole Gon]

Lmao. Trickster Nocticula fight.
ALL companions spawned in the council room. Too bad it doesn't help much, because everyone gets her unique auro of simping condition. Dogs and Wendu did 95% of the work.
