TipsyMcStagger posted:anyone here dodged a rat ogre attack yet? Maybe i just suck at doing it but i was trying to get the timing right. Basically you want to dodge once he gets to you and begins his wind up. Let him get right to you then dodge.

dogstile posted:And then your brightwizard uses whatever staff gives them the bolts to throw instantly kills the gunner and the gutter runner right? I like every staff but the bolt one. I will admit that I haven't tried one since getting blue melee weapons that reduce overcharge though. So a long rear end time ago. I just prefer aoe burn everything staffs which is why im deep in love with the conflagration staff.

Any segment or level in this game that requires you to move stuff is at least 3x more difficult than any kinda scenario the rest of the game will throw at you. Especially in the case of it being the entire level they're whole strat of difficuly is spike seems to be "never let them catch their breath." Finish a wave? Here's 3 specials and smallish horde. Did that and throw a barrell/sack down a platform? Rat ogre time plus a horde! Whew you barely got those 2 things in the boat/coach how about 4 stormvermin and a horde! I know you just dealt with that and lost your witch hunter but you're ready for 2 gasrats and a gutterrunner plus a horde right? Yeah you are! Wipe? No thats sad how about a rat ogre during the cutscene so two of your bros start at half health love you <3

Kanos posted:Kerillian is an outcast of some sort and probably cursed, since the Bright Wizard mentions that Kerillian soaks up magic every time she kills a skaven for some reason. She's really bitter and pissy for a reason. her bg says her senses were always sharper than most as kid and one night she made the dumb mistake of following a spellsinger deep into the woods. Definitely cursed.

dogstile posted:Its great if you're spamming dodge while swinging. You'll dodge 90% of attacks and i've used it to avoid swarms. Almost solo'd the horn's survival part doing that. Yeah I think thats sort of the idea with it and the daggers on waywatcher. Just totally maxed mobility never stop moving and swinging. I won't really intiate with a horde unless im feeling very safe/confident, but I will wade in after a tank/s push and take heads.

Dvsilverwing posted:Do you think it's easier/faster to do a full tome/grim run on that map than on horn? Idk about that, it's just the map i like to look at the most right now. Horn is just really effecient right now but I've been playing for a handful of beta arounds before launch so I'm kinda over it. I won't complain though, I just like lighting skaven on fire in my heart.

Kaldaris posted:I love me the Waywatcher, and I do love me the bow. But the bow is BEST at killing special vermin. Head Shot, Trueflight, best Special Vermin killer, period. For everything else, use the swords! Mainly play BW but waywatcher is my second pick (especially with goons) and this is what I've kinda leaned into.

Vargs posted:Bright Wizard seems lacking on nightmare. She's fantastic on hard where the fireball staff can spam piercing projectiles with large hitboxes that one-shot rats, and she can really clear some space with right click spam. But then you get to nightmare and the left click no longer one-shots trash, making it kinda poo poo. You're the most ranged-focused class on a difficulty where ranged attacks deal friendly fire. The fireball itself is a fantastic way to repeatedly damage to your teammates, in particular. Higher enemy health also means that you need to spend significantly more heat to kill anything, which is a mechanic that other classes don't have to deal with. Part of why I'm branching out to more characters right now is because BW definitely feels handicapped on these higher difficulties. I'm just assuming higher tier staves etc will come with more heat reduction stuff.

DreamShipWrecked posted:Sewers was the go-to farm level on the beta, but something like Wheat and Chaff or Black Powder, who you could theoretically beat in like five minutes, offset their shortness by being blisteringly difficult. I would rather run Horn of Magnus six times than do Black Powder to completion once Yeah black powder and w&c are just exhausting.

So does the conflag staff secondary (the aoe) hurt teammates on nightmare?

Chomp8645 posted:The funny thing about Wheat and Chaff is how out of skew the balance solely because of one tiny detail, which was "on a scale of 1-10, let's set Stormvermin spawns to 11". Without that nothing about the level would be unusual or difficult. Everything else is pretty standard, but the unending Stormvermin clowncar storm makes getting anything done almost impossible if your group isn't on top of their poo poo. Yeah and what makes it so different compared to even black powder is the lack of verticality. On BP you can atleast break up the waves a bit by going up and down forcing the rats to funnel/jump etc. W&C everything is pretty much a straight dash away from you and from all angles.

Galaga Galaxian posted:I've run Garden of Morr a few times now and I like it. Its a nice change of pace from Horn of Magnus and it feels easier IMO. Plus it has more wide open areas for fighting the Rat Ogre, more interesting scenery, and it isn't Horn of Magnus, which I'm a bit sick of. Yea Garden of Morr absolutely my favorite map right now and no one wants to run it because oh no i need loot and this is too loong baaaawww

Tiler Kiwi posted:My favourite dude has to be kruber. He's a nice combination of an ideal soldier gentlemen, combined with being sort of an emotional mess and hiding it behind a stiff upper lip. The latter is kind of subtle until you look at his room and see the combination of little handcrafted crude dolls and copious amounts of alcohol. I love these little touches. Soldier is an emotional wreck but gets along with everyone, BW is effectively a drug addict but doesn't really need to hide it anymore, saltzpyre has to pretend like he still has things under control etc.

Night10194 posted:Also, if you pay attention, Saltzpyre was trying to help both Sienna and Kruber. They mention he had nothing to do with her investigation and is basically just trying to get her to the colleges for a fair trial, and with Kruber, Kruber had just been denied leave to go home and visit Ubersreik after a disastrous battle. Along comes a Witch Hunter with pressing business and a dangerous captive who needs escort, and look, they'll be passing through Ubersreik and he could really use a veteran soldier like Kruber. Basically our crew are broken rear end ppl given a second chance to kill everything and prosper *cue Arrested Development style intro*

Not a lot of goons on when I hop on sometimes so I have to resort to pubbies and I swear they're worse now than even a week ago. Total panic when an ogre hits, they will just sit in gas etc etc. I even went back down to normal to play as elf and get some loot on her. Still awful.

Chomp8645 posted:A pubbie in my group last night honest to goodness got lost on the map. Like he could not find us and didn't know where to go. It was Garden of Moor right before you jump down into the little maze-garden place. We had jumped over and he could not locate us and wandered around until a horde showed up and killed him. He must not have had outlines on. Even if I get mad I never take it out on pubbies. Just frustrating sometimes when you take the time to even explain events before they happen and they still gently caress off to do dumb poo poo. BanhMi posted:Has there been any lore / backstory updates on Kerillian ? She really doesn't seem as fleshed out as some of the other characters and I'd like to know a little bit about her. It's like she's built up this defensive wall and I just want it to be torn down already. Her tendency to be a prick and smack-talk the others, usually my good friends although sometimes pubs, just takes me right out of the game. All we know is she saw some magic thing she wasn't supposed to and now is cursed. Something to that effect.

Mendrian posted:I play Saltz and have noticed I get way fewer kills and damage than I did in V1 (I used to top the chart pretty regularly) but I've also noticed that in V2 I'm still the least likely to die. I've decided to lean into the role and stack as much Reduce Time to Pickup Downed Teammates as possible. Part of why I eased up on my sienna doesn't feel as great is I'm still having amazing games. They feel great as I'm killing rats then I get to the win screen and the elf has 200 more kills than me. *I have not played with goons yet, I'm in the discord though. I'm half waiting on the retail to hit.
