Ouch man that sucks. What party did you go in with?

>>166925786
I kinda know that feeling, I was fighting the hag witch the other day, the party made it through just fine getting there, but the fight went absolutely terrible, she kept on putting my hellion in the pot who was my main source of damage for that run and kept tasting the damn soup every single time so all the damage she accumulated over time was basically negated. so I was down to my last 3 members after my arbalest died from getting tenderized, and everyone was on death's door at this point, and I got a crit hit against her, leaving her with just one hp. bitch tasted the soup and then tenderized everybody to death without even one death's door check

>>166928405
Holy shit, where were you when anon's will to live was kill?

>>166928952
worst part was that I lost like 3 ancestral trinkets and a crescendo box. the ancestral trinkets respawned again with long veteran dungeons, but I still haven't recovered the box. this is the 3rd time I lost the crescendo box and at this point I feel that it's just a completely cursed item

>>166929519
It's to good to be held for to long.

>>166929519
I've never lost any of these trinkets before, how'd you do it 3 times?

>>166931003
one was by forgetting to unequip it when leaving somebody at the bar, the second was by another unrelated party wipe, and the third is the now mentioned one

does calming crystal really have no negative attributes?

Yep, that's all positive.

I don't really like GR, she never fucking crits with 25% crit.

There's Valkyries party composition though.

>>166935732
The only thing I don't like about the GR is her Thrown Dagger dealing extra damage to marked targets. She excels at not requiring any set up and when they added that to Thrown Dagger is threw the whole feeling off.

If they wanted to buff that skill they should've given it something like reduce the +acc buff and add +thrown dagger damage stacking, like the Abomination's Rake or added a new mechanic to it like Protection/Armor piercing.

>>166935098
>That bent over ass on the crusader's tabard.

>>166948978
Fuck, DD3 is still giving me problems, but I breezed right through DD2. The Templars can be cheesed by simply stunning them every turn (They'll never get enough resist since they have two moves not to be stunned for at least one of them), making them cast revelation every turn instead of a damaging attack. On top of that, dragging them out of position makes them use their weak attacks instead of their blights (IE Push the Impaler backwards and the Warlord forwards, they'll simply use torment when they do get an attack off and have it deal single digit damage).

The Mammoth Cysts hit like a truck though, and that's not even accounting the 8 blight they inflict too. I haven't been back, but when I do go, I think this time I'll focus on killing the white blood cell every turn and stunning the cyst to prevent him from doing anything more than resummoning that stupid thing, at least then I can whittle him down even if it takes forever. It seems like every second or third turn I get teleported away.

>>166955069
what was your team for DD3? I think that could be a factor for your problems there. mine was Hellion as the lead, bh in the second slot, jester on 3rd, and vestal on 4th, stacking bleeds really helps out sometimes

>>166956832
Leper, Crusader, Grave Robber, and Occultist. Some shitty rolls on my occultist's heals is what convinced me to retreat, I couldn't keep pace with the damage dealt and was actually thankful I wound up teleported a couple of times to give me a chance to regroup and heal. I lost a Crusader to blight and decided to call it, lost the GR to retreat.

It didn't help I'd get one or two turns of attacks in every time I found a cyst and then wind up teleported. I thought I could rely on my luck to simply stall long enough to kill a cyst on two or three tries, and while I'd take off maybe about a third of their health with heavy frontline attacks, I couldn't really do anything about the white cell stalk healing, damaging, or teleporting.

I think this next try, I'm going with an actual healer and a plague doctor with stun trinkets. If I can stun the cell stalk and the cyst every turn, I'll greatly reduce the damage the two do and be able to spend more time wailing on the damn thing. I'll probably also drop the Leper for a Houndmaster or Bounty Hunter to reduce prot, or maybe drop the Crusader too and go BH/Hound/Vestal/PD. Also, I think cleansing crystals will probably be great, since hounds always seem to bleed and blight is pretty common too.

Teams straight off the wagon are the best. You can take risks with them without worrying you lose anything significant. I activated every Shambler altar in my latest run with them and most of the time they won. I just ahd to abandon the mission to get the trinket but it was definitely worth it.

I think it's possible since explored tiles sometimes refresh with battles when backtracking.

Basically, I need all accuracy I can get? Weapon and skill upgrades, quirks, trinkets, buffs...? "Oh, there will be a lot of bandits then, I will grab this manslayer ring, this might be a good idea"...

But, WHY DO THEY DODGE SO MUCH? I just got to the second room and everyone was afflicted already because someone keeps shooting with debuff and crits. And the madman is untouchable.

Does anyone else really hope there'll be unique trophy trinkets that come along with the new enemies? I really like the ideas of them and I think they'd be awesome to have.

Shuffle party best party.

>Jester with solo/finale
>GR with pick/lunge/shadow fade/toxic trickery
>HWM with slice/point blank/duelist advance/open vein
>Crusader with smite/zealous/battle heal/holy lance

Shit is instant delete any enemy. What's great about it is if I get shuffled every slot is covered by some form of damage, only real downside is low heals but it's mostly a speed tank at this point with finale crits for 70+ and all the instant kills with GR/Crusader

>>166993604
I actually don't like Finale anymore. I feel like it has too high of chance of missing for my tastes, so I stopped using it after I got a string of four misses in a single fight.

Equipping accuracy trinkets would probably make it more reliable, but considering I only use it once every three turns or so, I figured it was better to concentrate on other items for him.

Blasphemous Vial for the PD is one of the best.
Berserk Charms are really good if you don't mind -ACC (or the crescendo box from the madman).
Class-based +stun% trinkets are invaluable for champion missions.
Some backer trinkets are balanced, but the ones with excessive SPD and CRT are babby mode.
Sun/moon rings are good for damage if you can manage torches, and you get ACC.

>>166953140
White Cell Stalks have a chance to use Teleport, which teleports your party to a random spot on the map, and they accompany every Mammoth Cyst fight. DD3 can either be super short or the longest slog you've every experienced.

Use him with a party who can self heal and have an arby with him. That way there's no worry about HP and you can bolster their self heals if need be.

>>166963820
How bout an Exorcist? bonus damage vs Unholy and Eldritch. But functions mostly for buff and debuff, with some good stuns.

Moves like

>The Light Compels you!
>Pray for Strength
>GET OUT!!

And at least one camping skill called
>Pea soup
That can do a half decent group heal but has a chance to stress them out as well.

>Four designated Damage Dealer (HWM,2 GR, BH) wail on one mushroom tank
>it survives with 1 hp just to crit and blight my HWM

This basically sums up my experience in NG+ so far. The rolls are slightly not in favour for you and the bad luck streaks will fuck you up even harder. Basically if shit goes down it's the crecendo from Hall of the Mountain King.

>>167009059
Why would the camping skill need a downside? Arb has a +35% group heal with no downsides.

>>167010625
Its more a joke reference to the Exorcist movie. Where she throws up pea soup? Occ has some downsides to his skills. Not a big stress hit, maybe 6 points or so. And maybe give him a good destresser as well.

Level 1 Shambler but still messed up this shit team a lot. Always shuffled arbalest on position 1.
Next after Shambler I got 2 corridor fights and a room fight. 3 heroes afflicted, one survived heart attack on arbalest and 1/2 of mission to do.

Use grave robber, jester, maybe crusader with holy lance, highwayman, maybe abomination and occultist for dank DAMAGE, houndmaster, bounty hunter. But keep always in mind to use skills that can be used in varied positions(or any position), and some MOVE skills are a good way to reposition you party.

You should always take achievement stats as a percentage of the easiest, most freebie achievement there is, in this case the one for reaching the estate. Otherwise your stats are distorted by people who dont install the game or whose achievement system doesnt report properly for some reason.
In Darkest Dungeon's case, only 70% of players reach the hamlet.

It's your own damn fault. If your entire party is afflicted, you usually retreat(abandon mission), or camp if you have some "prevent night time ambush" skill and mission is almost done.

How the hell can you guys live with such unclean heroes? I can't stand even having 1 negative quirk on my rosters, let alone 5 on a single hero.

Why haven't you all purified your heroes and exiled your zeroes?

>>167063374
Because it is wasting money on quirks that might just come back anyway.

>>167063105

The only quirks worth using up cash removing are the ones that make your heroes stick their dicks into every curio they see.

>>167035596
God this is actually very difficult. I'm sitting here for hours writing out what I think about each trinket and still I'm having trouble putting down what I think as a whole about each class's selection. I can't seem to bring myself to give any lower than a 3.

why are the bosses in the cove much easier than the cove itself? the siren at least poses an issue if she takes a hero to her side, but they can be easily stunned if they pose a threat, or are completely useless if they get to the other side, I remember my houndmaster got kidnapped one time and the only thing he did was cry havoc. the crew is another relatively easy boss, if you can somehow manage to push the anchor man behind the crew, or pull them forward, he becomes absolutely useless, making this already easy fight easier. even without cheesing the fight, the stress damage he inflicts is minimal, and virtuous heros are straight up immune to the anchorman's assault

>>167068981
Yeah, it is the hardest area with the easiest bosses.

>>167063872
Just use the right item when they're rushing to the curio, it's obviously a bug but it prevents them from sticking their dick in a spider-infested tree

>>167069027
>hardest area
>not using the sexy doctor and her pet monster man

>>167068981
Because the Cove has SNIBIDY SNABs that bleed you for 8 pts a turn, fishfuckers that can hit your entire line from every position and shuffle it to boot, two turn timebombs, healers, octoshields, and those fucking jellyfish/barnacles that you can safely ignore until suddenly you can't. It has the most annoying mobs by far outside the DD.

>>167066502
FUCK YEAH. My man.

>>167069027
I mean I guess so, if their generic foot soldier does about 12-19 a pop with a fully upgraded unit w/o prot of any kind, I suppose that's a nice balance. guess I'm not being grateful that it isn't weald 2.0 with unclean giants every other fight in veteran up

I take about 8 on a short mission, supplemented with certain skills that increase torchlight like the Vestal's Dazzling Light / Illumination, Crusader's Inspiring Cry, or Arbalest's Rallying Flare. Without that I would say 12 max for short but that's already pushing it.

Retreating gives like +50 stress to the entire team. Take that how you will.

Vestal is without a doubt the best healer in the game, as well as the most reliable one. She can heal and still cast Judgement and Dazzling Light in the back two ranks, giving you options for you backrow characters if they prefer rank 3 or 4. Vestal excels at keeping your party topped off so it's generally a good idea to spam Divine Comfort with +healing trinkets on to do just that, using Judgement and Dazzling Light on turns where you're at full health.

>>167081230
I bring 8 for short, 12 for med and 16 for long missions.

Retreat would cause stress damage but it's better than losing your team.

Vestal's heal is consistently weak. Occultists has a rather unreliable heal but when it works, it fucking works. You could try bringing an arbalest for her +healing buff before healing as well.

There's a more detailed guide in the OP.

while we're on the topic
should I make the background the standard dungeon background or should I add the afflicted screen seeing as hans has a party background

>>167081230
Stop relighting torches when you are above 75 light and 8 of them should be just fine unless it's one of those wierd layouts where you have to backtrack a bunch.

This? If so, I guess that.

yeah that, with the red rays and shit

>>167081972
Then yeah, that wold be better in my opinion. It's closer to the original gif as well as being relevant to the game.

Thanks m80s

One more question. I'm at week two, only the bar and the church are open, most of my team is stressed the fuck out, stagecoach only has 2 characters and they're bullshit. Is there any way to progress time? Can I wait while my characters go on stress-reduction, and embark when they're allright? Or am I forced to bring the bullshit characters on a journey and then retreat?

>>167081230

I do 6-8 torches for short 11-14 for medium and 13-16 for long. The variance just depends on how willing I am to fight without them if it comes to it, and most of the time I bring more torches I end up deleting two or three to make room for loot / heirlooms. It's also extremely rare that I don't find a couple of torches in a run.

Are you sure you actually had to retreat or were you just afraid of fighting in low dark? As long as it doesn't completely go out you should probably keep going.

Retreating is fine if you're in a bad spot and want to save your group, just keep in mind your party gets stressed out from the retreat and if you end up doing it too much it will take an insane amount of time to progress due to not making much, if any, money and heirlooms. Personally when I'm using a low level party that I'm not attached to yet I just get insanely aggressive with them, since the worst case scenario is I lose a bunch of nobodies or dismiss them rather than spending a bunch of gold healing their stress. It's also kind of fun playing like that when you can because later on it really sucks losing the ones you've grown attached to.

Healing in this game definitely feels like a struggle until you get healing trinkets. The best way to think about it is that as long as your characters are not on death's door, you're fine. As long as you are able to delay that sufficiently on your healer you don't have to keep them topped off. Vestal is definitely my preferred healer because she heals consistently and can heal from 3/4 positions. Occultist can only heal in 2/4 and his meme heals will give you 0-3 multiple turns in a row even in the end game and you are reduced to praying that he has good luck. I wouldn't ever take an occultist on important runs without an arbalest to backup heal.

>>167083274
The way you advance time is to send nerds in on suicide missions. (with a chance of a permanent position for those that are still at decent stress at the end of it)
Upgrade wagon to 4 people per week and you'll be able to send in whatever rabble you get those weeks your main people are on stress relief.
It's healthy to keep a full roster rather than a single A-team so you can send in whatever team is better for the current quest.

>>167083274
Unstress those that seem worth it, but no, there isn't any way to progress time other than going on quests. You should upgrade the stage coach and do some basic upgrades to church and tavern as quickly as possible. Then do some basic upgrades to hospital, than focus on maxing out guild and blacksmith. Than upgrade everything else.

Fuck, I answered myself, Vestal won't serve with an abomination, I shoved my two best guys into the abbey, so I'm stuck.

It'll of course have to be above 145%(Champion) to push the boss aside. Anchorman has 245% push resist, so don't target him.

>>167087657
The new Ruins enemy should've been a massive goblet, with three courtiers behind it. If you don't kill at least two skelefuckers before the first round then they tip it causing 100+ stress to the whole party.
