I can't believe I'm saying this but after watching some gameplay footage from channels that got early access stuff, I'm actually leaning towards Trickster a bit. Pawn AI seems like it's a lot better now, and with how hectic and big some of the fights can get (especially the outdoor ones) I think it would be kind of interesting to play as like a battlefield controller. Buff my guys, make some strategic walls to funnel them in areas, direct them to do certain things. Curious to see what their actual attacks look like, if they have any, because they seem useless if your pawns are gone. That, or play a sorcerer and instead of all that stuff just spawn a tornado and send everything to space. Choices. Weirdly I'm less inclined to play MA than the rest of you, spearhand also doesn't look like my personal cup of tea. Gonna go with a battlefield controller this time around, I think. Could be fun! Or suck. Who knows? also I was going to do it as a joke but the more I think about it the more I might actually play the old dude and his sad wife as my arisen and pawn, I think it'll be hilarious. Although I feel like if I play trickster I should be a catte

I think it gives me replayability but if it’s anything like the first game you’ll want to play EVERYTHING for augments if nothing else

Zore posted:Do we have a list of what all the specific class actions are? I know Mages get healing but I can't remember/find what the other vocations get except for I think Mystic Spearhands teleporting to melee. Oroboros posted a skill overview that has some skills for every class, including core skills

Did DD1 have accelerated spellcasting? Mage and Sorc both seem to have a way to spend stamina to cast faster in DD2, which rules. Cast sprinting

from what leakers have been saying on the subreddit the pawn AI is absolutely bonkers and you fight a LOT, which rules. I still think there's definite potential in Trickster and I'm excited to try it out

should be fine in DD2, they have WAY more pawn voice lines and will have conversations with each other and stuff. should be varied enough that it won't be nearly as annoying

Draven posted:I'm torn on what vocation I want to try out first now. I was looking at trickster but after watching the introduction video to the mystic spear, they just look fun as hell. i have heard from the leakers that it will be a good amount of time before you find the unlock people for advanced vocations, let alone the two new ones, so you'll have a lot of time to try everything out first

warfarer swap is EXTREMELY quick from what i've seen in showcase footage. watched a guy mage hover into a cyclops head then swap to warrior and grab the head instantly, also saw similar with the mystic spearhand teleport directly into rogue spinny drop

Zore posted:Yeah plus for most classes you got 3 skill slots for each weapon and since you only have a single weapon now you technically get more skill slots for that weapon specifically. They also have a way to (augment spoiler, or core skill, not sure which) store a spell and cast it instantly next time they cast at the cost of stamina which absolutely rules and will be extremely funny if exequy is in this game

K8.0 posted:Mages have quick cast too. I think Sorcerers have stamina recovery in the spot mages have heal. As far as I can tell the way it works for both classes is that if you press the button while not casting you will cast heal or the stamina recovery ability, but if you press it while casting another spell then you get spell haste for a stamina cost. It's possible I'm slightly off on that, though. Sorcerer R2 is recovering stamina extremely fast (mage is anodyne). Sorcerers seem like they cast off of stamina and can use it to do a bunch of poo poo, which is kinda neat. Gonna need stamina augments for sure.

If it helps based on footage it looks like archer will have some sort of auto targeting but you can aim for precision shots if needed, but there’s footage of people just shooting arrows and they hit whatever’s closest

honestly playing through DA with a support pawn made me realize how insanely OP they can be. grapnel and torpor are absolutely nuts. thinking about being the support lockdown mage this time now that pawn AI is apparently goated. imagine warfarer with mage/trickster, buffing your pawns up and then locking everything down so they just annihilate everyone

we finally have info about what dragonsplague is and how it works and it's basically pawn herpes, this is going to devastate the online pawn community if it works the way I think it does also LMAO if this works how i think it does the only two ways to get rid of it are to kill your pawn permanently (or whatever "forfeit" means) or they give it to another pawn, and if that's permanent it means people are going to rent pawns, give them dragon aids, and then release them and whoever rents them will have it and risk giving it to their own pawns Thumbtacks fucked around with this message at 18:25 on Mar 19, 2024 |

Phlegmish posted:Why...why would they do this Well on the plus side it’s 1) probably rare, and 2) makes your pawn way stronger while it has it, so it’s a risk/reward thing. Also there’s plenty of pawns out in the world so you won’t necessarily alter the online pool

the closest i ever came to something like that was attempting a solo mage playthrough and getting to the golem in the canyon, but i just rolled up my extremely long flowing sleeves and beat it to death with my bare hands. and forgot i can't damage the floating ones so i just ran away afterwards

Mr. Baps posted:Trickster looks cool but it seems like it's going to depend really heavily on how competent pawns are, both in general and the particular crew you have. I want to try it out but not as much as I want to try Spearhand, or Warrior, or Sorcerer, or... apparently pawns are really good now and have excellent AI

Guess I can't make my arisen from DD1 but I guess I could just make an adult version. In DD1 it was hilarious to play a child so I can just play the same Arisen but later. No idea what I named it though, gotta download the game again and find out, I don't even remember if I COULD name my arisen in DD1.

not going to engage with ragebait clicks instead i have spent the last hour recreating and aging up my DD1 arisen/pawn. I like what I did with the tattoos, idk if it has the effect I wanted but I think they're neat. As you can guess my Arisen was mostly a magick archer and I wanted to reflect that, also I think it looks sick. Annoyed I can't tattoo hands.
