Personally I love being a Sorcerer. It gives you a great view of all the stuff you're fighting and lets you see pawns get hilariously thrown around like ragdolls, and casting things like Bolide and Gicel makes you feel powerful like nothing any other class can do. MK, MA are okay too but I wasn't really feeling them as much when I tried them out. Also my dude was so magic focused going for a physical class seemed like a terrible idea.

Electric Lady posted:Been wanting to play this game since it came out but didn't have the console. Thanks for the heads up on Page 1 about the GMG coupon. You only get your main Pawn. You can buy (expensive) items with RC to recustomize them once during the main game and a permanent version in the post-game (also works for the main Character). That's if you want to change Height/Weight/gender. You can change hairstyles and some minor cosmetic stuff at the barber shop at any point.

Vargs posted:Spellcasting in this game is mostly about tucking yourself away at the edge of a battle, starting a cast when you feel comfortable, and tensing up when something gets close enough to interrupt you. When you do get a big spell off though, it can end the fight right there. Also you can make a whip out of lightning and kill the poo poo out of small enemies/stunlock big dudes. Its my favorite spell

CJacobs posted:The game automatically puts the eternal ferrystone in your inn storage once you reach Gran Soren. You also get two port crystals fairly easily. One is from the story quest to explore to the bottom of the Everfall, the Portcrystal is right in the middle of the bottom level so make sure to grab it. There's another roughly due north of Gran Soren, on a Hill your pawns will comment on. Once you get pulled into the cutscene, explore the house to find it. Port crystals can be placed anywhere in the world to teleport you. And you can carry one around and drop it to warp back to Gran Soren to sell/store/level up poo poo then warp back.

Moldy (not rotten) Apples/Grapes plus water makes wine which is an amazing healing item and that stuff is super common. Also can let you make some items you need for weapon/armor enhancement. Pretty meh otherwise until postgame when you get some crazy things opened up.

Anyone got any advice for what/how much Everfall to do immediately in the postgame? I've taken out the not-Beholder and run around picking up absurd amounts of Wakestones. Anything exciting or unique to do down there or am I safe just heading off to BBI. My dudes are both level 47, and I've been tearing through most of the BBI rooms though the overworld Hellhounds and Succubus' tore me a new one on the way to Gran Soren.

Elderbean posted:Fighter is fun as gently caress, what other classes pair with it? Assassin is great, mostly because you can sword or dagger plus shoot a bow which is fun. Also has great stat growths and makes you a melee monster. Warrior has must-have augments, especially the one that boosts your strength 20%. Strider has some climbing augments if you're into stabbing the poo poo out of dudes while climbing on them. Mystic Knight also has a lot of overlap, it shares a bunch of skills and lets you still be a sword and shield (or mace). Ranger/Mage/Sorc are nothing like them really, they all focus hard on range.

Broken Cog posted:Yeah, it doesn't seem that bad at paper, but once you reach the latter parts of BBI and first notice that you need to reach a damage threshold to even punch through the defenses of certain enemies, those extra points into strength sure feels useful (Not sure if it works the same for magic, haven't played much of the magic classes). Yeah, that graph is actively misleading for 99% of the game. If you have access to the literal best equipment in the game, sure, you can pretty much get away with being anything you want. If you don't, or when you're leveling, missing 100 strength is loving huge when that's what you need to punch through the next tier of monster defenses and your best gear caps out at 400 strength or so. It makes leveling or using other classes to dragonforge their gear a pain in the dick too. Zore fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Jan 22, 2016 |

Tae posted:So I finally got my mystic knight setup because Grand Cannon looked cool. No, its one of the most potent damage sources in the game. The trick is that it takes on whatever element you're buffed with, any damage triggers it, and you can have multiple out at the same time. put down a ruinous sigil and two cannons and lure a boss over. it'll die basically instantly. Or summon two and be a literal artillery turret. Also make sure to use good use of your Magick Shield buffs! Fire in the main game, Lighting in Bitterblack and Holy for select fights (ie. Cursed Dragons, Bitterblack bosses) will make mincemeat of basically everything.

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.

Go to the Everfall for a bit. You'll get wakestones like crazy and iys a good bit easier. Even ignoring the Ur-Dragon's 20 almost every big monster drops 2 and little ones drop shards frequently.

Martout posted:Post-game world is loving ugly, jesus. Is there much of a point to doing post-game everfall except for the "real" final quest bit and Ur-dragon? I went to check Ur-dragon out and couldn't dent him so just kinda gave up on that for now. Going to save that stuff for NG+ and when I get some BBI gear for both me and my pawn. Everfall is great to farm up Arch-hydra, Gorechimera, Golem, Lich and various small enemy parts (Snow Harpies, Gargoyles, Hellhounds and Succubi most notably). Also it shits out wakestones like crazy, which are hella useful for BBI. You can get like 2 per large enemy and with any BBI weapon you should be cutting through them like butter. They're much, much rarer in BBI and feel a lot more necessary easpecially if you're squish (Elder Ogres one-shot me when enraged as a level 70 Sorc with all Everfall Dragonforged gear  )

Night10194 posted:Why do idiots keep making their pawns Guardians? I have no idea why there are so goddamn many of those out in the Rift. Because when they're picking the personality having a pawn who 'stays close and protects you' sounds good, like they wont run off like an idiot and kill things you're trying to avoid. And you can raise the inclination super easily by trying ti corral your pawns in battle. Most people do not read forums or analysis, or even know what inclinations are or what they do.

2 SPOOKY posted:This is... Confusing to me. Is the list on the wiki under Bitterblack Weapons #1 shown in the order you'll get them, then? (The one grouped into 3 columns, 1 for each color). Basically when you generate your game it generates a BBI item list So Yellow 1 Weapon (Noble Limbs) Yellow 2 Weapon (Noble Limbs) Yellow 3 Weapon (Not Noble Limbs) etc for everything. If you're purifying BBI cursed weapon level 1, and you have 2 yellow classes, you will always get the two Noble Limbs before you get anything else. Even if you switch it up and purify for the Red or Blue result, the next yellow result will always be that Noble Limbs. Basically you've got a number of lists. You can never skip ahead on the list, but you can force it to pull from a different one instead. If you're set on Yellow items, you're going to have to grab that Noble Limbs before other Yellow poo poo will start showing up in the Level 1 BBI weapon pool though.

sicDaniel posted:Yes, limiting your class choices because "numbers" is just greatly reducing your enjoyment for completely negligible benefits. I'm pulling these numbers from memory but the difference between going Assassin only and just switching every once in a while is about 200-300 points in base attack strength for your character. The weapons that you'll find in the endgame give you 1000-2000 points on top of that, and in practice such a tiny difference means killing an Elder Ogre in 20 seconds vs killing it in 23 seconds. This is only true once you have the best gear though. Before then playing an Assassin who switched to Sorcerer after 90 levels loving sucks. Trying to switch my level 70 Sorc to a Warrior ended horribly with me being unable to scratch anything in BBI Zore fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Dec 28, 2016 |

Pierson posted:I'm coming back to this game after an extremely long time and all I remember of leveling is what vocation you are on level-up controls your stat growth. How important is that on a scale of "you can gimp yourself significantly so pick a playstyle and stick with it" down to "you'll never notice and it's for minmaxing tryhards, max every vocation any order you want"? You'll probably notice. Most of the people saying you won't are right... once your dude is level 100+ and you have a ton of BBI gear. Until then your stats make up an extremely large part of your damage output and you won't be able to scratch hard enemies/bosses without chugging periapts which I find incredibly tedious and boring. Like leveling 1-10 as mage and then 10-76 as a Sorcerer with tier 1 BBI stuff I still have times where my magic feels anemic or is only barely good enough to kill BBI stuff. I turned into a warrior for a bit, stole my pawn's gear, and I couldn't even scratch most poo poo.

Shear Modulus posted:Yeah, the three ways to kill the gorecylops are 1. Use sixfold bolt a zillion times, 2. stand behind his left (i think) foot where his stomping animation is easy to dodge and hack at his ankles for ten minutes, or 3. get extremely lucky to get off several sorcerer spells You don't need to be lucky to get spells off, every Gorecyclops in the game has some spot you can stand to avoid literally all their attacks. Then you just spam things like Glical until dead. Their def is way too loving high though, its hard to pierce without really good Bitterblack gear which you almost certainly won't have the first few times you run into them. It makes them a fairly boring fight because either they murder you or you plink them to death from complete safety.
