how me a frog posted:I think this is really the biggest problem atm. There are quite clearly some classes that are a lot better overall than others. Does anyone even use plague doctors the hell is that dweeb even for. The PD has a good bleed and can stun the back two spots, which is nice but not as useful as the Hellion's skill set, and the PD is much more fragile.

My Hellion and Highwayman stacked 11 bleed tics on a swinataur yesterday. And since the moves that put those bleeds out are really damaging just on their own, the guy basically bled out before he could do anything.

paranoid randroid posted:Some dudes on the DD forums claim that disorienting blast is completely tits, but in the same post they also say that grave robber is useless so I basically have no idea. Early on for me Gravediggers seem really swingy because all their abilities except for the self buff are damage, many with -damage % mods and their weapons are not great damage to begin with. My first two gravediggers were never very good, but after they died I got two more that just seem to lay out all sorts of hurt and burst things down like champs. If they crit, they mess poo poo up. Crits are insanely powerful in this game.

Baronjutter posted:Any tips on apprentice necromancer? It's a very large dungeon and I'm having trouble even getting to the boss (haven't even seen it yet). I try to hold off my camp as long as I can but find I'm having to use it 1/3 of the way through the dungeon, then being forced to retreat a few rooms from the end. I'll have a good thing going, but all it takes is one surprise attack and I'll go into a stress spiral. Now that I'm figuring out the game more health isn't a big concern, it's always stress. Two crusaders with Holy Lance will chump him right quick. Let them Smite while he's in the front two rows, then leap frog when he's in the back.

Put two of those on your leper and use hew, your minimum damage is now higher than your maximum and it breaks the integer value, making the skill hit for 2 billion.  Now go gently caress up the Hag.

I admit I haven't tried him in higher level dungeons, but I love the Bounty Hunter's stun+shuffle Flashbang and basically use him exclusively for flexible control.

So I am puzzled: I have a highwayman who, for some reason, has a -43% Other to damage. So when he uses grapeshot, he's got -93% damage. I've checked his negative traits, and he has a -10% from "light sensitive" and a trinket that has -8%, but I cannot for the life of me figure out where the other -25% is coming from.

Man, Hellions seem to get the best trinkets. I've got two that add great bleed bonuses and resistances, and just picked up a third that increases affliction and deathblow resistance by 12%.

Well I finally built up a team that I trusted with facing the Swine Prince that wasn't so high they'd refuse the job. A leper with the +Acc camp buff, a Hellion with the +crit camp buff, and an occultist with the a +damage camp buff and a bounty hunter to land hits on marks and a +acc camp buff. Had excellent scouting luck and only had to handle two fights on the way to the boss, then camped for all the buffs, stepped inside, and ended the fight by round three because we were making GBS threads out so much damage. With all the buffs on, my Leper's minimum damage from his weakest attack (Initimidate) was more than Wilbur had health. So I went to every fight on the map as a victory lap and completely steamrolled everything. Everyone came out of it with positive quirks, to boot. Glorious.

Has anyone else ended up with a bug where Crusaders count as one resolve level higher than they actually are for purposes of upgrades? I can immediately upgrade the gear and skills of level 0 crusaders I hire, and my best crusaders can have one level better armor and weapons.

I'm not convinced that surprise boosts aren't bugged and actually increase your chance of being surprised, because I always seem to be surprised immediately after using a camp move that reduce surprise chance.

Demicol posted:Yes, I know. Isn't that what I said? That is probably why they put in the restriction so you cant grind to max level with no danger in level 1 dungeons. Only for completing a quest. You can kill everything in a dungeon and if you don't find the thing you're supposed to activate or go into the last room or whatever the terms of your quest are you'll get nothing but the loot, some stress and a greater chance of negative quirks.

Genocyber posted:I don't get how people are saying it's harder early on. It's super easy early on, with the only tough part being the first run since you only got a Plague Doctor and Vestal with possibly poor abilities. Lv.3+ dungeons are super hard. Really? Because at this point I'm making GBS threads out so much damage that unless something has a particular gimmick like the Hag I can crush it in a hurry. I haven't had to destress anyone who's gone into 3+ dungeons because they own anything they meet before it can cause stress or damage. Are you using the camp abilities that buff damage, accuracy and crit? They make things much easier.

While we're talking about things we think would be cool to add to the game, I kind of wish units would kind of invisibly track how many missions they complete with other guys, so if you use a team of guys regularly, they get "attached" to each other and suffer more stress when a good friend gets hurt or benefit more when a good friend gets a crit. And when someone's at Death's Door, if a teammate used the character's name when they shout something like, "You can't die, ________!" it would had a nice personal touch.

I just wish the Hag was a more predictable and controllable fight. Last time I tried to fight her it was like she kept getting action after action without me getting to do anything. Into the Pot--> Taste the Stew --> Tenderize the Meat --> Season to Perfection all one after the other just over and and over, and each time she acts the person in the pot loses more health. I felt like I never had a chance to respond and ended up losing three of my best guys.

No, but I'll keep a lookout. Got screwed by hunger events in a long dungeon, which cheated me out of a rare trinket, but that's okay, because a random encounter dropped an ancestral that doubles my bounty hunter's dodge and speed.

And potentially a way to make an occultist a boon to a grave robber trio of pitch black crit fiends, because they can use a move to make the torch drop even faster.

I did have a bug with a tree/rubble. I used my shovel to remove a pile of rubble, then immediately backed out and camped because I forgot to do so before entering the hallway. I did not pass through where the rubble had been. When I went back, the rubble was still there, but my shovel had of course been used.
