>somehow read commando as blademaster

I dunno, they might be only to melee.

is there any way to tell how damage reduction works on mobs?
for instance, it says x% reduced enemy damage but we know that they can use items with +y% to damage and shit, therefore making it 100+y-x% total
unless I am mistaken and crate just made it a multiplier
IF ONLY THERE WAS A RESOURCE IN GAME TO TELL US HOW THINGS WORK HOLY SHIT

>>127991690
nameless soldier devotion or whatever it's called on the lower right is better

>>127991779
it works with all weapons
zolhan's AoE only works on melee, kinda like cadence

Is there a way to change my attributes and class?
I remember TQ having something like this, but I guess it still takes time for GD mods?

>>127991690

Does nightblade even have any +% pet abilities?

>>127992384
It says right there it scales with player damage bonuses.

>>127992693

Ohhh

There are a lot of cool abilities from items some are even better than standard abilities, kinda wish there was a database ingame so you can build your character accordingly to item abilities

>>127992976
No, it was a video I saw my friend post. I thought it was a Nightblade + Shaman because the Nemesis summon even had the same icon as the Shaman Conjure Primal Spirit did, but the character was a Blademaster iirc. I can try digging up the video if I can find it.

>>127992931

Is there anything actually thiefy a character can do or are you basically just a ninja (like most "thieves" in ARPGs)?

If anyone is retarded, it's you for not being able to read.

It clearly states that reduces enemies Resistance for a single second, on top of the eight second duration of the chaos damage.

THE DEBUFF IS SEPARATE FROM THE EIGHT SECOND DURATION.

>>127993490
Well you can do things like how FFX-2 did thieves, with stealing items from enemies that they won't normally drop as well as stealing abstract things such as their mind (makes them berserk) or their time (slows or stops them) for example.

>>127995626
here's your reply
your theorycrafting doesn't apply to anything though because I've been using SF for months and know how it works

>>127995226
How can you not understand, is this bait?
Look at your picture, every single modifier has +45% when you activate your skill, that's total damage.

>>127995725
If you knew how it'd work then you wouldn't be here making an ass out of yourself

>Get to level 10
>Dual class

I'm running through at nightblade for my first run. I want to go with Soldier or Demolitionist for my 2nd class, is there any reason why I shouldn't choose one or the other (or both and go with something else?)

If there's any guides that'll help me that would be great.

>>127995626
Not the same guy but i'd agree with you unless the skill would be on the floor, I see that it has a radius so if the skill is not a debuff but is instead a real skill on the floor that enemies need to walk away from then the 8 seconds duration is separate from the rest and every other line is what happens when a monster stays on the skill for a tick.

>>127996701
Nightblade is incredibly strong as a solo class, I waited to like level 30 before I finally choose something. You can keep playing and make your choice when you really know what playstyle you want to aim for.

>>127996829
Sounds like a good plan to me.

Thanks anon.

>>127996178
Because the numbers are fucked, thats why.
I activate it to get another 45% to 90%, but only get 8 phys min damage more.
How do the first 45% work on the 25 min damage?

>>127996619
>still no proof
why are you trying so hard?
if I was wrong you'd have proven me so long ago
instead you keep going for ad hom which makes you look like an attention whore clown

Anyone got searing light maxed out on demo? Is it worth it on higher difficulties?

And in Markovian's Advantage and other skills that give bonus damage. Is that a general increase or do you only get that bonus damage from when the passive procs and only for that shot?

I want to play a Battlemage that uses both magic and melee but so many of the Arcanist skills are lackluster. Callidor's seems to be doing garbo damage

>>127996928
You forgot about your bonus physical damage from cunning, which is not a modifier but does affect your base 25.

>>127997648

>>127998605
No, it's you. You came here and said that it does this thing. Everyone said that you are wrong but then you just go "oh but you need to prove that it doesn't do thing". So, yeah, the burden of proof is on you. You said you're an expert on it anyway so it shouldn't be a big deal for a hot shot like you.

Just filter them.

Currently level 12 with the following build thus far:
http://grimcalc.com/build/Kz3OH2

Thinking of going Occultist/Nightblade and focusing on mainly poison and bleed damage.

I'm sort of considering a melee focused build where I curse/ bleed everything, set down a sigil and some other shit and brute force it with the help of DoTs and debuffs.

I also have some nice gear that caters to blood and poison damage.

On the other hand, DoT damage is fucking worthless against bosses and monsters that can heal themselves so until I can afford Doom Bolt or something I may just be fucked and need to completely respec.

It's not. It's called max bloody pox tree.

>>128008521
>DoT damage is fucking worthless against bosses

You're so wrong m8. If anything that's who they're best against since normal enemies tend to die from the Acid/Vitality damage before the Poison gets to even do anything.

>>128009339
Seems that way in my current position when it comes to bosses. Then again the debuff and DoT I have aren't exactly super high level right now.

>>128010476
>>128010525
I'm clearly doing something wrong then since anything that can heal itself is currently a nightmare to deal with.
I'll revisit the tree and come back with another more complete build based on what I'm thinking on.

Is anyone here playing on ultimate with a poison build? How is it?

>>128010752
Dude listen, take my advice (I literally only play Occultist), one point into curse of frailty, and max the first ability in bloody pox. After that, level until you can get the trait that also HAPPENS to buff enemies. After that, lrn2kite and let ebola plague do the work. I recommend ranged with this kind of build, helps you kite.

What build(s) offer the fastest progression? I suppose this would mean which builds are the strongest but in terms of killing mobs the quickest and progressing through maps and that sort of stuff. I full-clear every area on every character; can't stop.

>>128011052
Wind devil/totem druid fucks shit up pretty quickly, can get some good gear pretty early from rep.

>>128011397
Ah yeah are you the Druid anon? I'm staying away from additional lightning-based builds for now as my main does that and my Shaman alt has some lightning shit too.

Curious question though: Do you need the rep to actually WEAR the gear? For example: buying gear on my 'main' then giving it to an alt.

>>128011567

>>128011642

Haven't found any good ranged weapons yet though.

>>127992931
>it takes manticore eyes to make it.

Well the final update is going to be polish anyways who knows whats gonna happen with all that.

Are tomes even worth it for Occultist? I mean is it worth doing Sword and Tome versus Musket/Shotgun/Rifle, etc.

A pet Conjurer build has the fastest clear time, and it's not really gear dependent. Just use every pet damage/attack speed/ offensive ability item you find.
It is a less active then other builds though, you're more of a support character, debuffing the occasional enemy. Build is amazing for farming.

If you want a more "active" builds, a Dreeg's Evil Eye Warlock or dual wielding handgun Sorcerer will reach some insane damage levels. But they are both kind of gear dependent.

>>128019661
Let's be honest, the skill is shit :
- There is no way to enlarge the beam
- It costs a hell lot of mana
- Two damage types 50/50 mean harder to scale
- You can't even use it as a boss killer since you will be interrupted and then need to wait 3 fucking seconds to be able to cast it again

>>128032180
NO. The worst part is that you have to grind rep for Rhowari to get that one fucking quest to repair Mogdrogens shrine. Running after all the other shrines isn't as bad as getting this one (3 across all difficulties) shrine.

>>128038148

>>128040260
>do you get kicked out of the dungeon and lose your key if your game closes for any reason?

Yes.

>>128039589

I'm neither a warder or spellbreaker. I'm sorry your characters are dying. I do have some lifesteal with my Crimson Spike and reasonable CC resist. In fact, there isn't really anything that my character doesn't have a respectable amount of. I've seen those lifesteal builds you speak of and when the going gets tough, they have to resort to bottlenecking mobs in some choke point so they don't get analbasted because even if you do life steal all your life back in a cleave or what not, you're still susceptible to going from 100 to 0 when multiple enemies punch you in the dick.

>>128038148
>>128038518
Luckily mods will fix it. It's the one mod I'm looking forward the most to see, the one that will make the Mogdrogen shrine quest available even without rep shit. I like the rep stuff for gear, but gating important quests behind it is really fucked up on Crates end.

Outside of DW pistol builds soldier is probably the best proccer in the game, and is certainly the best for melee.

Put points in cadence, then get points in zolhans, markovians and fighting spirit. That's 3 proc abilities right there, not including shit that procs on hit or procs when you block.

Is it just me or are the miniscule debuffs in DA and OA that some spells and skills do, like -45 DA with maxed out Vulnerability, incredibly useless? What is -45 DA going to serve? Maybe in Act 1 if you max it out you might see a difference, but beyond that it's nothing. In Elite and Ultimate it'll probably give you something like a 0.03% better chance to hit. This shit is useless. It should be a percentage that they reduce, not a flat number, and certainly not such a low flat number at that.

It's weird as hell senpai. What do you want to focus on? Arcanist/Shaman sounds like a good combination for lightning damage.
I play a warder myself, so I can't really tell you anything about arcanist tree, but my shaman one looks like this. Also Mogdroden's is worthless by itself, you only take it for the 10% extra health on the heart of the wild. Just level spirit focus in your arcanist tree and chug a spirit potion if you run out of mana.

>>128060420
Well it's mainly supposed to be a tanky 2h build. Sphere and primal bond give roughly 40% damage absorption. Savagery line for damage, primal strike line for aoe trash clear, everything else is mainly for survibility. I don't recall anything in soldier that gives percentage based damage absorb without requiring a shield.

>>128061884
Primal strike isn't worth it for AOE, just stick a tsunami or a tempest onto your savagery and you'll be fine. Also wind devils and storm totems are pretty great, since they scale with your damage. Defence is nice, but I really don't see how you'll be able to kill tanky enemies. Maybe that won't matter since you'll play with friends.
Soldier tree is mainly for the +15% physique and +25% hp and increases to offensive and defensive ability. On higher difficulties it becomes a problem to even hit an enemy, since going for tankiness leaves your offensive ability in the dumpster.

Well, start farming bastion of chaos\steps of torment, maybe the merchants there will have it.
You can also farm nemesis bosses, that is, if you can. They see to drop this relic non stop on veteran.

>>128082505

Unless you hunt Nemesis mobs, recipes are such a fucking crap shoot. For weapons, you can find stuff that could be decent placeholders until you get BiS or what not but for relics, there are HUGE differences between what is optimal for you and what isn't. Many times players will have to use level 25 relics well into the end of elite or as in the case of my friend, into Ult because the recipe/loot needed to make a good one just never dropped.

>>128083264

>Many times players will have to use level 25 relics well into the end of elite or as in the case of my friend, into Ult because the recipe/loot needed to make a good one just never dropped.

sounds like me

>>128083546
Yep, but always shitty useless ones. I never found anything I didn't already have.

how common do legendaries become in the end of elite/ultimate? Because I'm looking and there's only like 1-2 of each type of armor I would even consider wearing for my guy..and out of 10+ legendaries for each slot the percentage I'd get one I could use seems awfully awfully low

I know grinding is typical in these types of games but I dont know, especially with the whole ambiguity of legendary drop rates once you outlevel stuff

>>128085978

Not very common at all. You can't outlevel things in Ult though so if you can farm that fairly well it is the best option for you with Nemesis and Heroes. Games like this promote trading though since you can't realistically find EVERYTHING you want for a character yourself without ridiculous grind time.

Are me.

Pic related is handgear giving me +~30% casting speed. Removing it and only it makes the DPS of Aether Ray drop significantly.

>>128097668
(Still samefagging)

Which makes perfect fucking sense given the fact that Aether Ray has NO COOLDOWN TO REDUCE WITH COOLDOWN REDUCTION.

Christ, how is this even a question?

Is there a good/up-to-date trainer I can use to add an item to my stash? I'm missing one item for a complete set and farming for a specific thing just doesn't work (RNG) Getting suicidal. The build will probably be shit anyway but I'm still maddening.

>>128098000
Nice trips.

Stash editoring got borked now that pre-B25 stashes are no longer accepted by the game (meaning only encrypted stashes are recognized).

What item do you need anon?

>>128098065
Mask of the Harbinger

Ever since I've hit high level (got 72 and 78) and finding set lego items, I've become a little fixated on making new characters that specifically uses a set. Like one of my characters uses mostly Ulzuin's (all but the pistols) and it looks nice. Then I go to my other high level and it's all messy (non-set) shit. Rustles my autism.

I haven't even planned the character tree build at all yet I'm all fixated on set gear now.

So trainers are a no go? Probably a good thing. Feeling I might add more and more shit and be a filthy jew.

>>128098236
> So trainers are a no go?

Trainers work, stash editors not so much. Although in theory you could inject items into the game through memory manipulation, but I don't think anyone's accomplished that yet.

I do not have a Mask of the Harbinger, sorry mate. :/ I've found about 70% of the Legendaries and that's still on my list.

Mask of the Harbinger is actually a blueprint drop, though: http://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/items/8312-Blueprint%3a-Mask-of-the-Harbinger

>>128098371
I meant the BP, but yeah. My mistake. My BP luck is awful. I mostly get dupes. Most of Elite isn't even good for my 78 anymore. I need to suck it up on Ultimate but damn frequently get anally-raped in Ultimate--still in Act 1. Imbalanced resists too.

>>128098000
Just use GDSidekick.

COULD YOU PLEASE MOUVEOVER YOUR MAIN SKILL MAYBE AND READ THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION

>>128098609
Whoa that's crazy. Even a blank 75 character? Temptation is insane. I'll give it a further looking and test my patience. Thanks, anons.

I find out that this game is now complete just as I'm halfway through a BG playthrough. Such bad timing.

>>128098661
> He thinks the 0.3 seconds skill recharge is referring to the damage rate of the skill.

Hahahaha, holy shit, you're either a troll or one of the most hilariously stupid people I've ever met.

That is the tick rate at which the game checks how much damage you should have done and is hard-coded in. Scaling cast speed makes you do more damage/second regardless of the tick check. Basically at 100% cast speed, you'll hit every 0.5 seconds, meaning that the tick check will actually apply the damage you've done at 0.6 seconds. At 200% cast speed, you'll hit every 0.25 seconds, meaning you'll have hit by the first tick-check at 0.3 seconds.

Even if that wasn't obvious, which it isn't, you're still hilariously stupid because getting more or less cooldown does not affect your damage output on the ray in any capacity.

>>128098950
(Samefagging)

Another way of looking at it is thus: that 0.3 seconds is actually the incremental duration of the skill, meaning that if you use the skill beyond 0.3 seconds, you cannot cancel it until you reach the next 0.3 second mark - 0.6 seconds (upon which time the game checks the damage you've done).

In the gamefiles, it's actually 0.25 seconds and not 0.3, but the text just rounds up.

I'd say just start from lvl 60 and elite since normal is too easy anyway

Although, you don't really get a sense for what works and doesn't this way, it's different when you go through different zones and realize what your character lacks.

>>128098950
>>128099149
how do you deal with hero and bosses when everything they do interrupt your beam and it takes long as fuck to restart it?

>>128099734
Oh, hell if I know.

I hate playing Aether Ray characters. I just know it scales with cast speed.

For reference (not a reply to you but a general thing to note), the following skills scale with Cast Speed:

Tremor
Callidor's Tempest
Dreeg's Evil Eye
Fevered Rage
Albrecht's Aether Ray
Quick Jacks
Phantasmal Blades
Devouring Swarm
Shadow Strike (windup animation)

>>128081190
3 tiers of crit dmg or something like that

>>128099998
nice info. what about Replicating missiles, no influence of cast speed? that's surprising.

>>128093575
>he thinks it's good

It's just another lazy spell in Crate's repertoire of copy pasting shit from other masteries so that they don't need to do any actual work. Not only is it lazy, it fucking sucks compared to DEE.

>>128100171
Oh, sorry, yeah, PRM does scale with cast speed.

All of the non-melee component skills also do too.

>>128100213
PRM vastly outclasses DEE in Ultimate difficulty. Learn to play.

>>128100289
>PRM vastly outclasses DEE in Ultimate difficulty. Learn to play.
Not him and not sure what you are refering to, but I've got a PRM Arcanist in Elite lvl60, with all his skills / devotion / equipment devoted to it, and the problem is not the clear speed but the HUGE energy cost (amplified by all the +cast speed% you get), high skill points investment required and the lacking single target damage (you'll need another skill, let's be honest because replicating missiles don't replicate anymore when all the adds are dead).
What is the secret to make this skill good then?

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAWHAWHWJKHAWJW???

How am I suppose to kill it, I almost died like 5 times on the miniboss before him too

>>128101365
He does what dmg though

>>128101297
He's a pure gearcheck, gives you a taste of Elite.

>>128101395
Chaos and vitality are the most important for him
