/dadg/ - Darkest Dungeon General

*snort*

Do you guys think its worth firing my second lvl 5 crusader with on guard and natural swing locked in, max in equipment and spells, for a second lvl 3 MaA with deadly eldritch slayer, weald scrounger, and fast healer with all maxed out too?

I have like 20 something heroes lvl 6, and I dont have a single MaA or Bh higher than 3.

Asking again.

Okay chaps, for those wanting the musketeer, here it is, updated again!


What it is
>Added musketeer as well as her trinkets and crimson court trinkets as a class separate BUT EXACTLY THE SAME AS Arbalest
>Nothing is different between her and the arbalest aside from not getting a free bandage, just as if it were vanilla

https://mega.nz/#!lj42RBwY!TydX7P1o-vo2zz_kcJdghjf4vetqPQVXrbtqkDBDoaQ

What changed since the last version?
>District for the arballest should work for the musketeer now

What's missing?
>Art assets for her crimson court trinkets, which have not been released yet, meanwhile it uses ancestor's musket ball and some unused backer trinket art

How to add it is on the README

Test it out, any mistakes or problems ask here

How fast can the game be beat? The limit Stygian mode places on you made me interested in finding out one can push it thought how it doesn't change enemies other than giving them more hp/damage killed my interest in doing runs on stygian mode.

Speedruns I've seen only go to necromancer. Doing it using only the minimum number of required characters would require some stagecoach luck.

The first two ranks should hit shit and stun the first few ranks. GR and PD should blight and stun everything else.

The Vestal requires the Profane Scroll trinket to be safe in vet level dungeons or higher. Works best in Ruins and Cove.

>>181084032
Technically, with a save state and infinite amount of paitence, you can save scum your way to victory so your lvl1s can win the darkest dungeon.

Pratically, most good players finish the game at 50-75% of the limit

Not possible even savescumming. Heroes that weak wouldn't be able to kill the last enemy before reinforcments arrive.

I guess you could technically do this given infinite tries if you bring the last 2 enemies to 1 health before leaving one, but this is outside the realm of reality.

Possibly a nod to the "Black Hand" which was basically the Mafia. Would make sense for a bunch of thieves and killers.

Wow, that took a whole three turns.

The dungeon itself was ludicrously easy, too. The Jester and both Lepers have quick draw charms, meaning they were able to clear out all the damage dealers before they even had a chance to act.

>>181087617

PORN WHEN

>>181087693
He passed all their turns on the first fight (or just kept retreating the first fight) until they hit 100 stress then had the jester destress them down to 0. Rinse and repeat until they all roll virtuous.

>refuse to follow the numerous "upgrade your town in this order and use these heroes to win ezpz" guides

I wish I could figure out why I keep buying roguelikes. Either I bend over and play exactly the way the community has already figured out is the optimal way to beat the game, or I spend hundreds of hours losing to bullshit until I finally get fed up enough to either quit playing or google builds. Either way I feel like I wasted my money.

>>181088460
You know people had to play the game to beat it right? Take the time to think about your upgrades and stuff or what your doing. For example, instead of picking what's available or just the first thing you think of try to plan out ahead.

>>181088458
But you cant get a virtue if you already got afflicted.

>>181088460

You can remove afflictions if they go to zero stress.

>>181088726
If you go down to 0 stress your affliction is removed. When you get back to 100 it rolls again.

>>181088458
I brought a Hero Ring and Tentacle Idol and switched then around between heroes to speed up the process, too. Ended up getting pretty lucky and landed a virtue on all of them first try, so I never actually needed to bring any of them to 0 stress.

HOW QUICKLY

THE TIDE TURNS

Wait, i've yet to do the darkest dungeon, can you just not take any dmg in the first fight and keep jestering your heroes back to 0 stress?

>>181090260

There can be no hope in this hell, no hope at all.

>>181090320
The first fight has nothing but 2 guys who only heal and guard each other. Think 2 collected vestals/MaA.

I have no fucking idea why.

>>181090320
Yes, DD1 and DD2 have a few fights with two Cultist enemies who only guard and heal things. So if you leave those two enemies alive you can get full heals off of them.

They're placed intentionally, at least as far as getting full heals are concerned. Most people don't have the patience to grind virtues like here.

>>181090320
The enemies in the first fight don't have any attacks, they can only guard and heal. They appear pretty often in the dungeon, so it's a common strategy to abuse encounters with two of them to fully heal and stress-heal your party. Getting everyone virtuous is a couple steps further than most people go, though.

>>181081613
>Nothing is different between her and the arbalest aside from not getting a free bandage, just as if it were vanilla
>As for the lacking bandage. I'll get that rectified. -redhookjohn (some reddit thread)

Seems like they missed out the free bandage initially. Musketeer is kinda neglected by RedHook as backers don't seem to be reporting bugs as much

Man there sure is a lot of glittering gold, trinkets, and baubles. I wonder what I have to pay for them?

>>181090594
I waish it was just a reskin instead of a separate class.

The way it is it only decreases your chance of getting the trinkets/heroes you want as both are taken from a larger poll. If you decide to use both arbalests and musketeers you essentialy need to get each class trinket twice. It's dumb.

riposte with +damage and high crits

So is the Baron quest supposed to be longer than 3 long length dungeons? I've cleared out about thirty to forty rooms and nada so far. Found a key for a red door, thought the boss was back there, but it was just a crocodilian

>>181092237
Yes, you're not supposed to complete the entire dungeon in one run.

First time through here...

First time I got someone to rank three the shrieker showed up and stole 8 of my trinkets. I didn't do it for like 20 weeks cause it's a rank 5 boss, and it showed back up and stole 8 more trinkets. Are those first 8 just gone forever?

Depends. Did you get the Reynauld and Dismas achievement?

What exactly am I missing with stress management? Is it just because my heroes are still low level? Seems like I always come out of dungeons with stupid high stress on everyone even when I always try to focus down the stress dealing enemies, while everyone here constantly keeps their stress at zero.

>>181101285

Every fight should last less than 4 turns max. All stress dealing enemies should die as fast as possible. Wounds can be healed so don't worry to much on health.

Do we know what Flag says when you choose him to die at Heart of Darkness yet?

What happened to the Anon who was making a Crusader ReSkin?

>>181101285

My stress problems went away once I put a jester on my team. Find a jester with +speed quirks, finale and stress heal til the fight ends.

>>181103380
Isn't it kinda dangerous to use Finale early in the fight with the enormous dodge debuff, considering it's the thing making up for him having the second lowest HP in the game?

>>181104001
Just get a MAA to guard him or something.

It could be worse. At least he wasn't fucking shanked by the hero that was supposed to heal him.

>>181104820
This. I'm trying to grind out some money with carriage meat and I keep running into Court enemies, Gatekeeper included.

Is there a spreadsheet or something of (de)buff durations and stacking limitations? S'pretty bothersome that the game doesn't tell you stuff like how HM's guard only lasts half as long as MaA's, or whether or not you can stack blight with more blight.

So what sort of composition works best for the Fanatic? Mark teams to destroy the pyre asap? Bleed since he has relatively low resist?

Additionally, is he a constant threat? Or will he only gank you when he's chilling by the ancestors statue?

>>181105220
Constant Threat but will only guaranteed appear if you get his Loading Screen. Destroy the Pyre ASAP but have one bleed/do riposte so you can still sneak some damages here and there.

>>181105391
Can he appear in the Courtyard too?

>>181104161
I had a PD do that in DD3 and that was the point I decided to abandon at the cost of a selfish hellion

Good morning dadg

Going back to the Courtyard, my current comp is [Vestal][_____][Hellion][Man-at-Arms]. With luck I may reach the baron.

Would you guys put a Highwayman or Jester in the third slot and if the latter what sort of talents? I'm figuring Harvest, Finale, Slice Off, Battle Ballad

>>181108358
jester and take a hm instead of a hellion imo but both can work i guess

This just looks wrong.

So why is the Houndmaster so popular here? His bleeds are incredibly weak relative to the alternatives. I can see his merit in the warrens but not anywhere else unless I'm missing something horribly important.

>>181113734
He's a jack-of-all trades that does everything well, and fits well in any party at any position.

>>181113734
It's the synergy he has in mark parties.

>>181113734
Hes a versatile hero that can work in many roles and teams. Outside of the warrens you can have him up front helping stun people, or serving as a dodge tank, or mark and take advantage of marks, or relieve minor stress on all your dudes. Granted he can't do everything at once but you can slot him into most teams and he'll have some synergy to offer. It also helps that he has a good design and that hes probably one of the more likeable/noble heroes in the cast

I have honestly no idea what this is even based on, like all tier 4 characters are still pretty strong. Are you saying all classes are viable/good?

>>181122492
I dunno, I always thought of it more of a loot driven character rather than actually used for fighting, maybe something of a bragging rights in using it to defeat certain bosses.

I like to use it mostly with Protect Me! with someone who benefits from getting hit, like Man-At-Arms or Flagellant. I don't find really "MUST HAVE" combo, though, I just use it for the loot it can end up getting.

>>181120286
It's actually significantly faster to gain stress by retreating from the fight a few times. You just need to manage your stress slightly so that only the hero currently carrying the +virtue trinkets gets the affliction check.

Any actually good character mods worth my time? Shit that is actually balanced, for one.

When is it a good idea to use Leper's Purge skill? Seems pretty useless to me desu.

On Guard is best if the fights don't take a long time, which becomes increasingly less likely in the higher difficulty dungeons.
So I'd rather have quick reflexes to benefit him the whole fight.

Depends. You don't necessarily want to use up all your food incase you roll a food check. Plus, several classes have access to healing skills for either themselves (Houndmaster, Leper) or variants with drawbacks (Occultist's Wyrd, Arbalest's bandage)

>Also are there any mods that properly implement the Musketeer?

I know there's one that keeps getting passed round here, but I use the one on workshop for convenience sake:

that actually looks pretty good, it always bothered me that unarmoured musketeer is as tanky as heavily armoured arbalest

>>181135127

Honestly, I'd rather have the Musketeer as a class with her own stats/skills than as a reskin

>>181135184
Honestly, I'd prefer a long reply..

>>181135382

the one getting linked isn't that bad balance-wise. She can do more damage but can't deal crits as often, on top of having less health which could fuck her over

Plus she doesn't have a proper healing move; it got replaced with a stress heal

Have you actually had a Flagellant in your party?

>>181135567
well i think crimson curse is good for boss fights, but not for the normal ones since they are really easy

so basically for the darkest dungeon and for courtyard its really good to have if you are struggling with damage
but then again its not required for anything and overall it just makes runs more complicated and even more RNG heavy

if anything i'd put it on a leper, BH or a hellion those are the damage dealer classes i use in DD
on utility classes or healers its absolutely not needed

the answer is basically No if we look at the bigger picture
there is already stress, negative perks, diseases etc
its just another cuckblocking mechanic

also you are still cute

That's the only excuse, but even that's not a good one because there are plenty of bleedable enemy encounters in the ruins and you should be able to figure out that, even if he's not good in the Ruins, he should be good in other places.

You can't rely on her for combat, but she has a pretty good focus on support/looting

You could probably get a really good teamup going with her and Man-At-Arms

>>181142281
bounty hunter's trinkets imply he has some sort of grudge against a number of crime lords, perhaps being the reason why he took up bounty hunting in the first place

More like vestal is super damaged goods. She was probably really heavily abused by the church, and doesn't even properly believe any of it and has no idea why her magic works.

And after DD run she can't go to church anymore because she concludes there is no god.

I think his sleeves are just really poofy and making his arms seem longer than they actually are.
Or he's a gorilla.

>>181141535
It always was sweet that even a selfish HM will clarify that his dogs needs come first, then he's next and everyone else can fuck off to the back of the line

Sorta petty when you compare it to the others.

Honestly if you're ok with recycled assets from vanilla classes and tenuous english, you could probably try out the actionjack class mods

koreans really like this game

why?

Grave robber and especially Antiquarian are less sympathetic compared to the rest of the classes as well

what is even the explanation for this

does "stinky life" mean "dirty past", or is hwm just violently opposed to sanitation
