What's a good secondary for Blade? Probably only have one AOE ability left over for the secondary, was thinking about Chaos since its gimmick is low maintenance

Yeah I've been playing chaos and there's no part of its gimmick that really seems to hurt you, it just won't be as optimal if you aren't paying attention. It's nice as I have to keep an eye on the stupid elemental meter.

Rookersh posted:Hammer/Shotgun was not tested at all. OTOH, Hammer rage is not lost, so while it doesn't proc the full rage abilities as often, using hammer off-hand will still build rage. e: though for tanking, I'd say that off-hand hammer with shotgun specials is an excellent way to go. You can hold a rotation of the 2 shotgun tank specials and the 2 good hammer tank specials and never be off of one of those buffs.

Odds and Evens with Raging Shot+ is the fastest mob killing rotation I've seen so far. RS, Basic, RS, Basic will take out a lot of mobs. Shell use matters too... I would rank it Incendiary > Uranium+ > Armor Piercing > Uranium > Healing, although the latter can still save your rear end in certain situations.

I'm curious how it goes later in the game, but I've found an RS/Demolish cycle to kill most mobs in 4 hits and tougher (or overleveled) mobs in 6. Only a few times have I resorted to having to pump action while I waited for energy. Also, I have a theory that shotgun is the best OH for healing because reconstituting shells' 25% heal is almost guaranteed to be the highest no-resource, no-cast raw heal in the game.

I agree except I'm not a big fan of incendiary on shorter fights. It's good on dungeon bosses but Uranium or AP seems to work out better for random mooks. BabyFur Denny posted:What's a good secondary for Blade? Probably only have one AOE ability left over for the secondary, was thinking about Chaos since its gimmick is low maintenance Probably Fist so you can get Savagery or Shotgun for Opening Shot. You really only have one open slot with the blade builds (unless you do AoE on your secondary but that's not really necessary). Even if you do AoE on your secondary, Fist or Shotgun is probably better so you can transition to the buffs late game. Several People posted:Words about Hammer/Shotgun Hammer/Shotgun seems extremely strong right now. Chaos probably has better damage reduction late game but you have a incredible amount of damage and defense with Hammer/Shotgun.

I'm really liking blood but getting bored of the shotgun. Pistols sounds like a blast, would blood and pistols work for mainly soloing? How about blood and AR?

There were a lot of autistic angry fits back in the day by people who maintained the mission wikis. I'm assuming they're the kind of people who can instantly memorize every postcode that exists but freak out when their ice cream cone is vanilla instead of vanilla malt. Or when its the wrong density of chocolate. DancingShade fucked around with this message at 10:15 on Jul 4, 2017 |

Investigations missions are really uneven sometimes. I fully believe that the reason funcom didn't touch them is because some people would get REAL angry and accusations of dumbing down would be everywhere, even if I guarantee that 90% + of TSW players had to Google the answers. There's some really good ones. In still early on my replay but the kingsmouth ones with the priest are the kind that's well done. They require knowledge of the map and some thinking outside of the box. Those are also the kind where you are supposed to Google, just not the outright answer. Doing those with a group of friends are some of my fondest memories with the game because we would cover each other's weaknesses. But then there's the Ellis one where you're supposed to download the Morse code to be able to slow it down so you can translate it and it's just. Who is even going to do that?

I think the best part was when the investigation missions were broken and you had to figure out if you made a mistake or if it was just 'Funcom'. That one with the loving lights on the ground in Egypt where you'd stumble over other players making an attempt was the worst by far.

I've bumped into the space limit now, where I don't have enough anima to upgrade items, hence I don't have the space in my bags to collect rewards, so I can't get more anima from quests. Got to trek back to Agartha every time it gets filled up. Let this be a cautionary tale: don't spend cash at the museum of the occult, because the cost for upgrading items skyrockets with each tier.

You know you can just sell some of your extra poo poo for more anima shards when you're running low. I'm on purple and I sell everything not a sword because it's too expensive for very little progress. Although I am also trying to pump up my museum for the costumes and kick rear end gadgets.

Gawain The Blind posted:I was having an okay time with this game until I realized contacts were level limited. I dunno, maybe it opens up later, but being shuttled around to each contact in kingsmouth one at a time infuriates me, and I'm not sure why. I guess it's another loss of choice on top of the rest. Now who's being hyperbolic? You think it was really just as simple as mashing a button? What about the hundreds of different skills and interactions (thousands?)? How does a non-sperglord get anywhere in that system? Anyhow, I like the new system. It's fun.

Thanks for the guild invite.  Is there any recommended strategy for the third part of "scrapyard defence"? It's kicking my rear end, and it really doesn't seem like the barricades should be as badly damaged as they always are.

You can drop the special ability bar and just blast poo poo with your normal attacks if you have strong AOEs.
