Yeah please be sure to post here or ping me on the discord if you apply. I guess we're focusing on prepping for faction versus faction campaigns so get a character levelled and some cool gear. I have no insight into builds or game mechanics so if someone here is good at games feel free to make a post. Also I have no idea how EKs work and wanna set the goon one up.

I made a hammer throwing cleric and it has a bunch of funny CC abilities but doesn't do any damage. My main issue is i'm not sure I understand how damage scales. My weapon says it does like 50 damage but I do like 300 damage per hit. I only have 6.4% damage bonus so ???

Those all go into the sausage machine and then you turn the handle and get your damage roll. Unironically I wondered about this myself, but a cursory google didn't bring me any reddit effortposts or anything about it.

Ok, Dregs is fun enough. Even large fights have been pretty even so far. Lost a keep and gained back control 5 different times. Game is more fun than Swords of Legends online at least, so crowfall it is until new world for me.

For all of the “releasing an unfinished game” stuff I saw, this game is much better than I expected. It feels mostly complete from a mechanics point of view, and really does feel like a modernized shadowbane. The world and animation style are cool, rotations are unique (holy poo poo blight bombs on arch druid are gimmicky but the most fun I’ve had in a video game in a while), nothing really feels incomplete to me. I hope this builds them some steam to do a proper launch rather than the soft launch they did. My only issue is that it seems like you pretty much have to be in a group to do anything at all, especially in the dregs. Maybe it will change since I’ve only been playing two days.

From watching videos on youtube the combat/build variety in this game actually seem great. But when I try to watch someone play on twitch it's 99% running around seemingly doing nothing. It kind of seems like a game with some good core systems that has next to nothing to actually do in it.

Seems like at least ranger can probably sneak around, dehorse some straggler and get out before the rest of the group responds. I'm sure other stealthers are the same. Have I done it yet? Nope - i'm bad!

Right now there is a lot of farming going on. It's pretty much an arms race of crafting better gear and vessels for the top alliances. They really should have started with the three way realm v realm campaign instead of dregs though.

Got some kills last night as an alpha warrior. The fights felt really good. I wasn't convinced healers were that valuable, but I think when you consider how much damage mitigation can be laid down, healers on top of that can have a huge impact even though most of the healing numbers are fairly small.

I hope so, my current highest level character is a guinea pig cleric and the healing output feels like absolute trash. Granted, my personal scale of healing output comparison is WoW where an entire bar of life is just a cool down away so hopefully things are scaled well like you say and it works out well in practice.

The problem with healers is they don't have the sort of damage mitigation that makes healing useful so if you don't have the numbers to stop them, half the classes in the game can just walk up and kill them.

Every role has glaring weaknesses by design from what I can tell, which is very different from other games where you can be somewhat self sufficient. Healers are weak so you need your team to protect you, etc. not sure how well dependencies like that will last as people get more geared.

I'm watching a siege defense on a twitch stream and the attacking alliance used a pack of burrowing guinea's to ambush a flanking force the defenders had in reserve. That's pretty cool, I'm glad to see that tactics like that have a place.

Don't sleep on healing. In solo or maybe the smallest of group fights they struggle but in anything larger they are key and get all the atta-boys. We just defended against a pincer attempt on a fort and defeated over 2:1 opposing numbers (verified by crowbar parser) made possible by our healing core. Healers are critical.

I don't know if I'm going to pick this up, but I have been following this past month from end of beta. Here's a bunch of links I have found reasonably helpful: God Buffs that stack  Character Planner Beginner's Guide to Gathering from official forums. Beginner's Guide to Crafting from official forums. Crafting Spreadsheets More Crafting Spreadsheets Crowcraft an incomplete site that should help with what items are needed to craft. Healing Cleric Meta in 6.540 (Updated 2021-07-02) from official forums. Confessor Inquisitor Healer from official forums. Alpha Warrior Champion build from official forums. Titan Myrmidon build from official forums. Warden Ranger build Edit: also with the talk of healers and it not feeling as meaningful as you'd hope, the meta seems to be that in 5 man (or 6 in dregs) groups you want 2 healers so they can keep each other alive. And the top healing subclasses are Arbiter and Crusader in Cleric and Inquisitor in Confessor. Templar Paladins are for point defense like forts or keeps. Earthkeepers in Druid have problems with the wrong people picking up their healing orbs. And the strong meta classes that aren't healers are Warden Rangers and Alpha Warrior Champions. Barbarian Champion doesn't do as much dmg but has great sustain. Vindicator in Templar is great at deleting people under 30% and have parry for defense. If you can handle the crash mechanic, the Titan in Myrmidon is nigh unkillable (but get stunned at the wrong time or if you don't mind the crash gauge you'll instantly die.) Stormcaller in Druid is a good magic dps I guess. Archer Ranger is another good ranged dps. ccubed fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Jul 12, 2021 |

I've figured out the damage formulas mostly. Its very simple and very not apparent from the UI. Attack power modifies the tooltip damage of most powers (as in: the tooltip damage has the attack power baked in). The scaling varys power to power and this is not documented. Many are base damage + (attack power * .5). Final power damage is always multiplied by your damage bonus. Left click damage is the ( (tooltip damage of your left click + weapon damage) * damage bonus) DPS? Hard you calculate since there doesn't appear to be an animation speed number for attacks. Is it worth investing in dex as a non-primary attribute if you have a high critical damage bonus? For a few characters I have looked at, no. Strength (damage bonus) seems to always edge out critical chance. Please let me know if you find a counter example. Here is some example math: code:Lorem ipsum fucked around with this message at 11:33 on Jul 12, 2021 |

Game is more fun the longer I play which is kind of surprising. The crafting is actually pretty cool and once you unlock the secrets of harvesting its a lot less painful. We have been getting some really fun fights too and its basically been super fun. I hope the population picks up though. I'm considering breaking from the goon guild to form my own guild since most of the people i've been playing with aren't goons. Maybe we could form an alliance?

I am in the guild Corvus Citadel which seems to be quite large. Usually 10 people in groups even at off hours. I’ll stick with it for a bit but I much prefer smaller scrums than huge zerg fights.
