No, you fucked up. Why did you do force the Guard state on the occultist instead of doing Nervous Stab to finish off the skeleton? It was a move that made no sense.

>>386270464

>expecting the antiquarian to not hit a 0 dodge enemy

Are you dumb? I'll grant that it could have resulted in a regular miss, but the chances of that happening are lower than your occultist getting attacked again. Why assume the stab will miss, but not assume that he'll do a ground pound, or attack the occultist or antiquarian?

You made the what was probably the worst move you could have in that situation, and paid for it.

>>386268709
desu frontline Occultist is very viable since you can use Wyrd in all ranks now and it allows you to use his stun ability. It's best used in Cove though because of his regular attack bonus against Eldritcth monsters.

The game is designed around the RNG. YOUR job is to minimise the impact a bad roll can do and keep a backup plan on hand.

Yeah for some reason it reads 0 dodge at the beginning of the webm. I thought it was debuffed.

The enemy clearly targeted the Antiquarian if you look at their health bar brackets but because you told the occultist to protect her he was struck for deathblow instead. It's entirely your fault for such shitty party composition.

That's why you always take a secondary healer with an occcultist just to bring people out of death's door when he fails you. You even had an antiquarian for that, except you had her in position two for who the hell knows what reason.

>>386271649

>>386271904
You can beat the game just fine on the hardest difficulty without losing a single hero bar the final dungeon.
unless you're a brainlet of course

>>386271649
You could have just shuffled your party back to what I assume was their original positions (because your current arrangement is borderline retarded so they MUST have been shuffled earlier, right?) instead of trying to use desperation moves they can still use in those slots and leaving your occultist vulnerable. Hell I see you have the antiquarian's shitty heal equipped, she could have put him off death's door if you had fucking moved a certain grave robber forward instead of attacking, idiot.

In this game, once you're hurting like from an inopportune crit (sound familiar) it really doesn't matter HOW much you heal as long as you DO heal (and prevent DoTs). Antiquarian could have saved Occultist's life for CERTAIN because he had no DoT on him and she hadn't had her turn yet but YOU chose the UNCERTAIN method of hoping your grave robber would roll high enough on the RNG to kill the enemy before it could finish the Occultist and when that failed and you realized your mistake all you could do was bet AGAIN on the shitty odds that your Occultist would dodge. And you have the gall to blame the RNG when you could have avoided the RNG entirely?

this game sure has some shitty rng moments where your party member eats a full hp crit that gets him to deaths door with a bleed and right after that it's his turn and the bleed finishes him off straight away. but that is rare and can still be avoided if you plan accordingly. I used to white about "muh rng" when I sucked at this game but after I played more I never have a problem in this game unless I take unncessary risks but then it's still on me because it was my decision to take the risk. if you think rng is always being shitty to you, you just simply need more experience, that's all there is to it

Bleeds don't work in the ruins so you'd be bringing him for stress healing and buffs.
Buffs aren't very good to begin with and for stress heals you're better off bringing a crusader with a speed trinket with the added benefits of him sponging damage and 1shotting skellies

>>386272456
>Getting people killed by the heart of darkness
Also, you're an absolute pussy for throwing the game at your third dead character. With the kind of gameplay you showed I get the impression RNG bailed you out each and every time until now. I bet if you lost half your champion team geared out to take down a boss to a collector for example, you'd get triggered enough to post a scathing review.

>>386273250

>>386273250
>>386273386
You don't need his mediocre attacks after Finale nerf anyway, retards.
He's the best stress healer and you need that in every dungeon.

While there is an element of RNG, if you makeup a good team and send them to the right location, you'll probably be ok

>>386273929
jester is the best stress healer, sure, but he's one of the worst classes in the game after the nerf, along with leper and grave robber. anyone else is better to bring for the recovery portion of combat

>>386273929
Slice Off is pretty good, and since he has a high crit rate you have a better chance to have the bleed last for five turns which is nice on bosses.

>>386271025
>generic classes

>>386273929

>>386273929
You don't need stress heals if you have the DPS to prevent stress in the first place. Take a crusader or a houndmaster if you need stress heals.

It's an RNG prediction game

It's not about avoiding the hits but adjusting to the damage

>>386274687
I've beat the game several times along with the DLC and I haven't brought jester to ruins once on my later playthroughs. Crusader can stress heal when needed and camping is more than enough if you have him.

While OP is fore sure either an Idiot or baiting, I feel like Xcom has more of an: "Have a good tactic and you can go largely unfucked"
I think the main difference is:
>In Xcom (the reboot) I feel like I'm doing what makes sense for my war against the aliums and the battle I'm in.
>in DD I feel like I'm trying to game the mechanics more than anything.
And I feel like that's the biggest issue with it for me. In Xcom I go: "If I go in with this guy I'll better make sure to have a plan B or even C in case he misses or he'll die for sure" in DD I just feel like I'm constantly meta-gaming against the game mechanic instead of finding a fun combo to fuck up monsters.

>>386271025
Enjoyment of the game depends on the player finding the combat satisfying, which not everyone does. The difficulty is another thing that DD fans appreciate: Rather, figuring out ways to cheese the game after the game cheeses you feels rewarding to some. The art and narration are review-bait icing on the food analogy, but some people just find the battle system satisfying.

Even without the antiquarian you end up with more loot than you can reasonably carry in all long runs and most medium runs. The slight bonus for gold stacks and the 2 extra types of valuable loot don't do enough to offset the extra hassle of the antiquarian's lack of meaningful damage or utility. If you're strong enough to carry an antiquarian through an easier difficulty dungeon, you're strong enough to do a more difficult dungeon with a proper team and end up with the same amount of loot, better resolve xp, and less risk.

Now with the Bank district upgrade so easily obtainable there's literally no reason to ever have an antiquarian. At a certain point you get more gold per week from interest than you could ever spend per week no matter how many red trinkets you feel like buying.

Depends what you prioritize. If you only prioritize getting money and leave heirlooms behind the Antiquarian can still really help due to her finding her unique antiques along with finding gems more often. The fact that gold can stack up even more allows you to throw less gold on the ground and can prioritize gold over the other lesser gems since gold is more plentiful and a full stack will be more than either a jade or citrine.

Just started playing and beat the ruins boss a couple times. Am I supposed to keep farming this area until I get upgrades and can move on, or was I supposed to move on a while ago? It feels like level 0 people aren't necessarily ready for the other areas. Whenever they get to 1 or even 2 they have a handful of bad traits and I heard upgrading those buildings are a meme.

>>386277779
you can go to other areas.

the level of the mission determines what people you can use.

Level 1 - you can use level 0 and 1 heroes
Level 3 - you can use level 4 and below heroes
level 5 - you can use level 6 and below heroes

>>386277646
That's what I mean. There's only a very small window of time where you would feel the urge to discard heirlooms and focus on money, and that's when you have basically upgraded everything. At that point you've probably already gotten the Bank district upgrade if you're smart and you're trying to get like 500,000+ gold so the interest starts snowballing. It's really not worth going through the trouble of leveling an antiquarian just for that window unless you get lucky and manage to pull a level 5 or 4 out of the wagon.

That is if you have the DLC with districts. Some people haven't been playing with those and upgrading heroes from rank 4 everything to rank 5 costs a lot. Not only that you should be doing tons of quirk treatments every week with locking and removing quirks which gets pricey.

Everyone seems to say rush the stage coach upgrades and the requirements for getting the recruitment bonus. That you'll be throwing away so many heroes that it's not worth investing in any of them so the heirlooms are better spent on other things until mid-game or so.

it's pretty decent, especially if everyone misses when you're focusing the backline

>>386278976
Any character of resolve level 2 or below is expendable, but you should only really throw them away in the early game when you're tight for money and can't afford to fix them up. Quirks don't matter much, just treat the ones that are dealbreakers before they lock in.

Terrible team comp. Terrible guard me, Antiquarian could've killed the bone guy with nervous stab.

I'm sorry anon you're just kinda bad. I completed the game and the first 3 hours I thought ''wow it's all just RNG'' but then you strategise for a second and bam suddenly it's not RNG based anymore.

My mate, there is a dude that can win the game at the hardest difficulty at 16 weeks. And he also had other records.

The moment people can pull off shit like this it is time to admit that you suck. I also thought FTL was a RNG rollet but then I learned that there are people that can beat it 8/10 on hard and then I shut my mouth.

This is bait, right?

>>386280490
Leper hits like a brick shit house though. He can also render protection nearly useless which is phenomenal in the more difficult cove dungeons. He pairs well with occultists.

>>386280531
It's a stupid unexpected interaction
any sane person would think GUARD actually prevents damage on the target. Like the guardian standing in front of the character and taking the blow instead of him
Instead what happens is the target takes the hit and then transfers the result to the guardian, including deaths door.
I think it's some kind of lazy coding at work

>>386269101
you literally told the game to focus on hitting the occultist with that skill you used from the antiquarian

I'm pretty sure that enemy only attacks the frontlines

>>386279815
PD - Vestal - GR - MaA

>>386280679
really doesn't matter how hard he hits when you don't want to kill the frontline right away, that's time used for recovery with stress healing and regular healing when the high damage/stress nuking backline is down

Stop spouting this meme outside of the vg general you cunt

>>386280490
>can't do anything HWM can't do better
The only thing the HWM can do over the GR is riposte.

>>386280868
Like I said, he pairs well with the occultist.

>>386280774
It has another skill called ground pound which hits everyone. Though you are right, by using protect me it was a 100% chance for the Occultist to get hit because no matter what attack that enemy would use it would hit the Occultist.

>>386280914
and the riposte is incredibly strong compared to what the grave robber can do. she's certainly not bad, but the HWM can execute a lot of high damage actions per round

How many one off lethals have you gotten during your last run?

>Play like a retard

Fucking lmao.

>>386268203
there are some rare instances in which the RNG fucks you over and there's nothing you can do, but generally good preparation and not doing utterly retarded decisions (what THE FUCK is that party composition and why THE FUCK would you make a hero at death's door protect someone) will save you

>>386281103
That requires a lot of set up. GR doesn't need any set up to be effective.

HWM is not low HP trash like GR which is vital especially on torchless runs and NG+

you don't need point blank shot at all if that's what you're saying

I dunno man, I get fucked over WAY more often in XCOM than I do in Darkest Dungeon. I only lose heroes due to not being properly prepared for bosses and overconfidence. Both of which are 100% my fault, XCOM more often than not ignores my hunkered down soldier in full cover and crit kills him in one shot anyway, or have flanked or out in the open aliens be impervious to being hit anyway, killing my best soldiers and sending my campaign into a spiral of defeats that's literally impossible to recover from.

>>386281474
>>386281492
HWM requires to be attacked in order to dish out damage. In order to do that he basically needs an Antiquarian to force Guard. And since he's being attacked he's taking damage that he's not built to actually take.

>>386271272
>This wouldn't happen if RNGcultist didn't heal himself for 1 hp to begin with

You're right. You could have attacked instead of healing and the worst case scenario was the Occultist ends the battle at Death's Door rather than walking through it.

he's not wrong about antiquarian guard possibly being very dangerous with hwm riposte and doing too much damage to him, but that's only something that matters on boss fights, like shambler

he's still pretty likely to be attacked, either way, especially if you get him into position 2, which is where he'll normally be unless you're running something like a position 2 occultist

Everybody on steam hates the DLC, is it really that bad?

Also best qt coming through.

I know what you mean OP, sometimes I feel like this game is too hard for me too.

>>386282314
It's stupid grindy shit.

>>386282314
>is it really that bad?
No. It was fucking annoying on the first day because the Vintner district building was bugged. Since the fix it's tolerable at worst.

OP webm is a shitty player. Darkest Dungeon is pretty hard at first, but eventually you figure out how to cheese it and its becomes boring. Little variety in the game, and no real rewards make it lose its appeal quickly. DD is a "proof of concept" if ever I saw one, if it was put into practice as a full RPG with a decent narrative it might be good, but as it is, its a snoozefest

>>386282598
>ruined unique designs and monsters in every dungeon with high infestation and bloodsuckers replacing 2/3 enemies of each dungeon

>fanatic is additional forced fight like pitch black corridor shambler
>crimson court set trinkets are absolute garbage and feces, how could those cretins design those useless trinkets is a mystery
>CC maps are gigantic and boring, same fights over and over and over again

Yeah it's pretty bad.

>>386282675
Yeah, as much as I enjoyed DD I feel the same after the initial bump. The style is perfect though, great visuals, interesting setting, a very cool idea. But once you figure out who goes where it becomes simple save for a few outrageous RNG hits.

I really hope they work on a sequel and expand on it, because it's such a unique setup for an RPG and has lots of potential.

I recently beat this game. Goddamn the 3rd darkest dungeon mission is the single stupidest thing I've ever played in a video game. I'm not the type of person who gets angry at games but that one dungeon made me triggered enough to ragequit the game for more than a week. I'm not even going to tell you what the gimmick is because I want everyone else to suffer as well.

do i buy just the base game or the crimson court dlc too

>>386283612
Base game. If you like the game THEN consider getting the DLC considering the price isn't exactly reasonable.

Crimson Court is pretty fun

Have you played the original X-Com? Your characters can get merced like right out the door, literally. As in your luck can be shit enough that one of your soldiers takes one step off the dropship and pew, instantly killed by a reaction shot from an enemy, especially on a night mission where the enemy is probably shooting from somewhere you can't even see them until you throw down some flares. In Darkest Dungeon you have the the leeway of death's door. In X-Com getting shot is more often than not an instant kill.

>>386287447
healing in dungeons is much cheaper and you saves you from random afflictions and heart attack.

>>386288604
It plays like a traditional turn based rpg with classes and stats, but the layout of each level, and the things placed in it are generally randomized.
