My melee attacks feel really underpowered. I cant help but feel like im missing something because I do such piddly damage unless I get the weapon buff from my mage pawn.

Ugh, after doing the hard mode > normal mode restart for a second ring of perseverance mostly because I failed chasing shadows, I missed another quest line! I found out after the fact that exploring the duke's palace as soon as you get there and exiting via the dungeons means you don't see a cutscene, which means you never even meet a quest npc.

So if I fail the Lost and Found quest does that mean I can't access the portcrystal in Witchwood?

So (ending spoilers) if I start a completely new game, will the Seneschal still be my characer from the last save, or is that just for NG+?

The online Ur-Dragon was one of the things that made me super interested in this game back in the day but at that point I was kind of over console gaming, and by the time I thought about getting the game again I had heard it was kind of out of reach. I had hopes for getting involved in killing it on PC but it looks like I'm progressing too slow to partake again. Oh well. I'm glad to hear that it's not as huge of a deal as I thought. I am loving this game in general, and I haven't even really gotten anywhere yet.

I had goon pawns Shaggy and Aricka (sorry I didn't give you a gift - I buttoned past it and couldn't go back Oh man, glad to hear he works pretty well for other people. I think the fact I've played a sorcerer most of the game and never climb enemies makes him actually use his bow a lot of the time because he almost never jumps on anything (except giant skeletons weirdly). Not so great when he was a strider/warrior. Ranger definitely suits him best.

I did a few levels as sorceror and it's the first playstyle that didn't really click with me. All those charge times. Mystic Knight has them too but they're for enchantments or spells that otherwise last a little while. So I'm not gonna worry about min-maxing at all. I'll go back later on to farm it up to rank 9 for the augment, but otherwise I'm just gonna stick with Mystic Knight, maybe switch to assassin when I feel like it. It makes it a little easier knowing that Ur-Dragon isn't a necessity for endgame except for utter completionists. I killed a griffin in front of Gran Soren that flew into a goblin pack I was fighting, was this the one that unlocks the quest for the Bluemoon Tower? I've just been told that the Duke wants to visit me but I haven't accepted the quest yet. I'm just not sure about the timing.

So is it accurate that going into hard mode then cranking it down to normal is just a "reset the world" but you keep everything skill/level/item -wise? I just sorta free-wheeled through the game and missed basically every quest that it is possible to miss.

Traveling around takes forever, and combat is arduous because all the encounters are like 30 tough-rear end bandits or saurians, so the fights go on for ages. Not to mention my pawns can't fight worth a drat so I constantly need to do all the work singlehandedly and help them up every 5 seconds. I am mashing "COME" as hard as I can, please stop running at the chimera we have no chance of even scratching. I just want to go back to town Might want to give out some more info (your level, where are you in the storyline etc.)

Onmi posted:So I was stabbing my way through Bitterblack and just finished off Gazer, I'm wondering if (at level 51) I should keep plunging down or just go stab the Dragon already. I'm running a Magic Knight who spent a significant amount of time in Fighter (About 13-14 levels while I max Ranked it) and Sorcerer. You're about to run into a big difficulty spike in BBI that you may have trouble with. There's also some BBI content that doesn't unlock until the post game, so you might want to keep on trucking with the main quest. It'll certainly make the rest of BBI significantly easier for you. Onmi posted:Right now my build is. My own augments are: Clout (20% strength boost, as opposed to Vehemence's 10%) Sinew Bastion (reduced physical damage for face tanking) Prescience Articulacy (15% reduced cast times, stacks with Wyrmking's Ring for 32%) Acuity (20% magic attack boost, stacks with base and weapon stats) It's also worth pointing out that perfect blocks don't consume stamina. Vigilance also only increases your HP by 100. Bastion is a bit weird in that it seems to reduce the amount of damage taken after the end of a damage calculation. The wiki claims that it reduces damage taken after armor calculation by 50 in the base game, 112.5 in BBI, so every time you would take damage you're taking 50 or 112 less damage from the attack. On hard mode the damage reduction is doubled. So I'd recommend ditching Vigilance for Bastion, and probably eventually ditching Bastion once you get good enough armor. If you want to go more swingy, Clout and Vehemence stack, while Acuity and Attunement stack with each other if you want more magic. Since you have Prescience, I'd recommend ditching one of your shield spells for a shield enchantment. Holy enchantment is good if you can perfect block near one of your Great Canons, as it shoots a ton of lasers which will proc your canons an absurd amount. I'd recommend getting rid of Holy Glare/Furor. It's a neat seeming spell but I haven't found a situation where it's actually feasible to use. A Ruinous Sigil with a Great Canon inside is a lot more practical. If you're running a GK build you may want to substitute Stone Forest for Full Moon Slash, which poops out a ton more GC shots than basic attacks. Like Holy Glare/Furor there aren't a lot of situations where Stone Forest is worth using over the Sigil/GC combination.

If you completely wipe your save the first time it will always be the guy you played as in the tutorial. In NG+ the Seneschal is a random player + main pawn (online) or your previous guy (offline).

Seeing as we're on Mystic Knight augment chat, it's worth mentioning that Inflection, which is meant to halve damage received while casting, is bugged so it actually doubles it.

There's a fenced off area near Greatwall. I figured it'd have bandits, but there was an ogre instead. After killing it and take a look around, I noticed the benches and table there were ogre sized and there was a bunch of food on it. I broke in to this dude's house and murdered him while he was eating dinner

Deadly Ham Sandwich posted:I love that there are so many quests that you can miss or fail without even realizing it. The sidequest progression page on the wiki is basically spoiler free and incredibly helpful. It lists quests by stage and shows which cut off at what point. And the individual quest pages tend to list the more esoteric requirements (like the 2nd stage of the Cassardis well quest requiring you to wait 7 ig days from the first to be able to take) near the top, well above any quest spoilers. It's not the greatest feature of Dragon's Dogma for sure, but really if you miss a quest knowing that it is possible to do so, it's your own fault for not using the resources available.

Using a Rusted Longbow with Tenfold Flurry is pretty much a guaranteed Poison+Torpor on anything that isn't totally immune. warburg posted:My melee attacks feel really underpowered. I cant help but feel like im missing something because I do such piddly damage unless I get the weapon buff from my mage pawn. Keeping your weapon updated and upgraded and taking Vehemence, Clout, and Ferocity will help. Some of the advanced and hybrid classes get stuck in a bit of a rut since their weapons tend to drop later than the basic classes (ask me about using Magian Crutch right up to the end of the game). Keep checking in with vendors after story beats, when their inventory expands. Particularly Caxton and the guy at Granwall, but also Barroch in BBI if you're rolling in gold. im cute fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Jan 22, 2016 |
