How do I know how many/what kind of provisions I take each mission?

>>183456860
Non-arguments are answered with non-arguments

>>183457139
Depends on what zone you're in lad:

>Ruins
Extra food and keys
>Warrens
Extra herbs, maybe less food, some bandages
>Weald
Extra antivenoms and shovels
>Cove
Extra bandages and shovels, some herbs

Generally you can take 8 torches for any length if you know how to get value out of camping (fully lights your torch so if you explore a lot without torching and then camp you can get value), maybe 1 or 2 extra if you're taking light-based trinkets and want to ensure they work. Food is obv based on mission length, I like to go 12 for short, 20 for medium and 24 for long, just because hunger checks can be a dick.

>>183457139
Experience mostly. There are pre-made lists all over of generally good ideas to take.

More bandages than antivenom in the warrens
More antivenom than bandages in the weald
You can get away with not as much as either in the Ruins and Cove til veteran and champion when you've got high bleed crabs pinching you

Food 8~12 for a Short
12~24 for Medium
24 at least for Long, I never take more than 24.

You can get away with less food in the Weald, Warrens and Cove with medicinal herbs if you find a food curio and no one has a quirk to auto-open it. Gamble at your own risk.
Medicinal Herbs are also good for character that self-debuff when they do things, I never find the debuff on the Leper to be too big of a deal but its good to keep your Hellion clear, or just plan around it.

Characters that can heal themselves and their own blights/bleeds mean you can get away with less bandages and anti-venom.

Torches is up to you, if you want to do a light or dark run.

Raw Damage sucks on the Flesh. Should have gone for DoTs + Stuns

I personally use PD+Abom+HM+Hellion.

All 4 have amazing stun and DoTs with 3 of them having multi-targeting DoTs. Hellion has amazing reach and can nuke the squishy part if they ever appear and can double stun the heads if they ever pop out in the front.. Of course having no healers you might get turned off using it. But at least 2 of them have good self heals with 1 having an okayish, and another one having a mediocre one.

What's a good team comp for the Crew? I've always been able to kill the other bosses without much of a problem, but I've never really gotten the hang of this one. The shuffle just fucks me up.

>>183458432
I'm doing religious-only, so no heretical grave-defilers are allowed

>>183458951
you can cheese it by moving the crew forward or having a virtuous hero be immune to the anchor

>>183458951
Either powerful front liners who can break the anchorman at front or cheese him with a puller who has pulling trinkets.

The only difficult gimmick is the heal he puts on himself when you're weighed down, so stopping that is priority.

>>183458951
Bring a bounty hunter with vengeful kill list/immovable helmet and pull the crew when he spawns the anchorman, which causes him to do nothing the whole fight and disables the entire gimmick

then beat the shit out of him with plague doctors and stuff

>>183459083
Are you the guy with the DEUS VULT estate?

>>183459212
>>183459238
>>183459239
That's weird. You'd think they'd make the Crew immune to being moved by now.

>>183459354
Sometimes the cheese is just as characteristic as the bosses gimmick and thematics.

They should leave it

>>183459265
probably

not many other madmen doing church only runs

>>183459354
the odd thing is the archorman is immune, but not the crew

so its likely they left it on on purpose so new players can discover that weakness themselves

>>183459265
Well it's not in all-caps but yeah I'm one of those fellows

Still looking for a fourth crusader to set up the true lance circus

>>183459443

True, like how the Flesh can be made a joke by DoT builds, or how the Brigand Pounder is trivialized by bringing a party with a lot of AoE skills.

>>183458776
>Should have gone for DoTs + Stuns
I had a jester and a flagellant for DoTs. I should have brought stuns however.
I know I should have brought a HM because he is godlike vs the flesh and in the warrens (and everywhere else) but I didn't have one available.
Arbalest was there precisely for her ability to target (almost) all ranks and deal reliable damage to them, she pretty much carried the way to the boss by oneshotting those annoying vomit pigs.

All in all it was still a good run, Jester wouldn't have died if the fucking anuses and spines didn't focus him constantly. The others got away without a scratch basically

>>183459567
Or how the Siren is completely shut down by drinking a whole bunch. Wait a minute, that's fuckin' silly. Only cheese I accept for Siren is tricking her into controlling a garbage hero.

>>183459567
Imagine how unfun and obnoxious it would be if the Canon put down a team-wide protection skill to all the bandits that weren't the cannoneer or if the Flesh was just immune to bleed and blight entirely

>>183459580

>Jester wouldn't have died if the fucking anuses and spines didn't focus him constantly. The others got away without a scratch basically

God I fucking hate when this happens. Everything quickly turns to shit whenever the AI decides to fuck over one of your dudes and ignore the rest.

>>183459790
She's not entirely shutdown, I've blown 2 arbalest flares for the debuff resist while having a party under the influence of holy water and she still managed to talk my Hellion into Lezzing out

>>183459860

Don't give RH any ideas anon or else they'll make a boss with 4 actions next.

Would bringing a Jester to the Heart of Darkness be a bad idea? I'm mainly bringing him so he can stack bleeds and heal stress if need be

Am I the only one who loves the Warrens just cause of how compact the layout is?

>>183461215
I don't like leaving there and having every disease known to man.

>>183461215
I also like it how scouting becomes a real benefit there, lets me avoid so many fights.

>>183459567
>or how the Brigand Pounder is trivialized by bringing a party with a lot of AoE skills
hold the fuck up so the key to the pounder is to bring shit like grapeshot blast, hound's harry and the like instead of focusing the fuseman with single-target and then cleaning up the rest?

>>183463203
Most favourite is BH, least favourite is Antiquarian

>>183463203
favorite is Occultist, least favorite is Antiquarian, but when it comes to actual classes probably the Jester? Or Leper I guess.

>>183463203

Favorite is the Grave Robber cause she never fails me

Least favorite is the Jester.

>>183463514
>>183463689
Why do people hate on jester anyways? what makes him bad/.

>>183463750

He just feels clunky to me. His attacks only hit the middle and while the buffs are good, I'd rather finish fights instantly

>>183463813
who do you take as a stress healer usually?

>>183463203
I have a lot of favorites for different reasons. For sheer utility I like Occultist, BH, PD and Grave Robber, and I love Leper's lines and personality in general. Abom is also a good one because of how unique he is. My least favorite is Crusader though, he's just bland and vanilla in comparison to most others. Same with Arbalest.

>>183463203
Favorite Auntie least favorite Arbalest because of her shitskin

>>183463750
I used him for all of the courtyard except the bosses themselves and he fuckin tore shit apart. Bloodlusted critical harvests melted every mob and he kept everyones stress down to the point that I only left when I ran out of my 3 stacks of food.

>>183463327
Abomination is bae. Leper is trash.

>>183463203
Occultist is my favorite
I don't really hate most of them, but I guess the Leper.

Least favorite is abomination. His human form has only a decent stun and an ok blight and his beast form is underwhelming. I mean yes he kinda wrecks shit in beast form but Leper, Hellion and even crusader to a lesser extent all wreck shit without the need for a panic button

>>183463203
Can't decide between auntie or hwm for favourite, auntie is best jewfu and surprisingly good in some champ dungeons and bosses if you accommodate her, but hwm hardly needs accommodating at all and just rips shit up no matter what position he or the enemy is in

Least favourite is easily arbalest, she's failed me every time I try to use her. All I know her as is a weaker bh with no stun or pull

>>183468416
I'll give you that, but I still don't think people should be trying to use him as a damage dealer even with finale and bleed proc. He's become literally a bard doing musical buff/debuffs and healing stress. Jester/Occ/MaA/MaA is unkillable if you just spam jester's speed buff then use riposte/guard ally on both MaA.
I'm thinking people don't like him anymore because he doesn't get to be a main damage dealer and they can't shift the mindset to him being a pure support

Yeah, that's way too overpowered. It completely ruins the uh...leaderboards? Other players' enjoyment of the game? Multiplayer balance?

What are some hero skills or enemies who can lower move resist?

>>183469557
It actually does ruin other players' enjoyment of the game, because they play it blindly, find broken shit like this and don't know they're making the game 100x easier than it is and finish the game feeling wholly unsatisfied. Game devs kinda don't want that happening, especially when the core intention of their game is to be challenging in its own right, not just the self-imposed challenges of restricting yourself from the game's own content. If you want the game to be easier you can always just hack/cheat/mod it, but it's the devs obligation to have the game be balanced to a point where that isn't necessary.

Don't Bone Bulwarks lower your move resist in Veteran and Champion dungeons?

>>183470215

But what about a straight forward move resist debuff? There are move resist buffs like enemy tanks like bone bulwark and that octopus in the coves. Also Leper's personal buff.

Cant remember any who does debuffs tho

>>183470315
You can do that in this game even now with proper play, without going to the extent of taking your hands off the keyboard and watching the man-at-arms riposte everything. If you want a shit-tearing happy fun time there's plenty of hack n slash games all about outclassing the game mechanics, but that's not what Red Hook and many other devs are going for. Turns out different games have different philosophies, and when your philosophy doesn't include "lets just let players steamroll and watch big numbers fly around" (not that that's a strictly bad thing), then they're well within their right to nerf things to keep in line with that.

I accidentally hit "always" when selling trinkets and I dunno how to get it off.

>>183470346
You're right, they debuff stun/move resist

>>183470482

That's probably why they have to rely on RNG. Take out the randomness and having Leper with ACC trinkets is one such case of how fun it is to just Hew your way through everything.

I'd switch out PD and Occultist with a Vestal and another damage dealer.

>>183470948
He only shows up during medium/high infestation, killing the countess removes infestation permanently so bernie sanders fucks off forever

Does anybody keep the curse on some heroes, especially damage dealers, after defeating the countess? The damage buff in bloodlust is pretty big and the quirky dialog is pretty funny.

>>183471864

Because the number of living enemies in the game outnumber those that arent, and even in the Coves, sometimes you can still kill enemies via Bleed.

To balance that out, there needs to be more enemies outright immune to bleed,aka. more undead. enemies.

>>183475213
Yes? I'm talking about why nerfs happen, and those are extreme cases where nerfing is obvious. Stuff like nerfing the jester is a lot more debatable since it isn't clearly detracting from the developers' envisioned 'challenging experience'. Chances are it's to do with "you shouldn't be able to take a skill and now every combat has a maximum of 3 enemies", even if that's hyperbolic. Not really sure what you're getting that unless you thought I thought those videos were still possible.

So I've built the Cartographer Camp, the Vintners and the Bank. What other districts are worth investing in?

>>183475497
The Athenaeum is pretty good for making PDs and Occs more reliable. I just wish it buffed Occ's move skill chance since PD/antiquarian get a whole extra buff that's useless for him. Outsiders bonfire can also have some great value for pre-boss buffs.

Best: Bounty. Beastly crits, hits rank 3, good camping skills, is a fucking pimp
Plague Doctor is also a pretty cool chick

Least: Antiquarian. All you do with her is spam cheesey dodge buffs and bloat up your already limited inventory with trinkets (as if money is ever an issue)
Leper is also a direct downgrade from his contemporaries, but I like him for some particular bosses like the Hag and Swine

>>183479183
>2 are unplayable, this is acceptable

In Champion only. You can still run pretty much any class lineup in vet dungeons, which I assume is what RH thinks is the farthest the majority of their players will ever reach if we take steam statistics into account.

They basically went fuck it for end game balance.

pd has fucked camping skills, shit damage including dots, shitty heals in lategame, fucked health, moderate trinkets, no real stress relief, when im going through a champion dungeon with great everything, its still a race to get out before everyone is fucked, and plague gets fucked fast

And leper is a non stunning, barely hitting lump of meat that hits hard when he hits (which is unreliable) you can get more reliable damage off many classes, stress becomes more dangerous that HP in later levels, leper can ONLY PROJECT DAMAGE to FRONT 2 POSITIONS.

Vestal, Houndmaster, Highwayman, Hellion are my sweet babies because high damage, adaptable, able to project and stun wherever i want, can run bleed builds, can get shuffled and wind up stronger because of it

I brought a PD and a Leper to Belly of the Beast and it went extremely smoothly Being able to double-stun the backline and being the only actual viable source of blight is actually a huge boon where bleed isn't strong and the backline is where the danger is (where it is more often than not). I'll admit that the Leper is in dire need of one of his weaknesses being outright removed, be it his trash mobility, non-crazy durability, terrible accuracy or inability to threaten the backline or threaten from the backline, but he's far from "unplayable".

Plague Doctor is top tier man, especially on the Cove. You're complaining about her heals and stress relief like she's meant to replace the Vestal or something, so I have reason to believe you're just playing her wrong

>>183479921
what, literally only the Houndmaster and HM is shuffle proof. The Hellion is fucked without Breakthrough at the back and the Vestal can't do jack shit in the front unless you gimp yourself of Judgement, one of her heals or her stun.

Now if there was only a way to make himself attract damage without having to resort to modding.

>>183480698
Because if you'll note, there isn't a guy who can do a lot of what the PD does. Nobody has a double backline stun, nobody has a good blight ability, disorienting blast is far more useful on a PD than flashbang is on a BH, battlefield medicine is a uniquely powerful utility, and emboldening vapours is a buff far more useful than people give credit for.

Spearfishing can only be cast from ranks 3-4, and can only target ranks 3-4. If your MaA is in pos 1-2 he'll never get spearfished no matter how marked he is

Deckbased Stagecoach option. Supposedly, it takes the classes and turns them into a deck of cards, to ensure that you get a random number of classes to appear on your recruitment list, however it apparently does the opposite as it gives you the same guys over and over, with a tendency to spawn support classes/healers.

This is more apparent when you try to test a new class and it takes forever for it to appear.

>>183482572
Yeah you can, by either deactivating the CC part of the dlc (getting only districts and the flagellant), or by never doing the first mission, in turn messing up your stress relief and all town events permanently.

thats what ive heard, so you can only kill him 3 times

>>183485335
>>183485386
Per Cycle, after you beat a portion of the courtyard he respawns back again

>>183485498
well yea so 1 for baron, viscount and countess

or does he appear once in each difficulty in between bosses too?

is there some sort of team optimizer? I don't want to check every single characters abilities when I'm this early in the game to make sure it's not shit.

What? Are you dumb?
There's like, 4 classes where you need to look at their abilities to see what they do, everyone else you can tell by looking at their character model
>hmm, I think this guy with a big sword and plate goes up the front
>this girl in leathers with a throwing bomb might go up the back

>>183486080
They can only have 4 moves at once and half of them are locked at the start, resulting in some seriously useless combinations. Are you sure YOU'RE not dumb?

Just got this game, really been enjoying it but why are the food mechanics so retarded? Oh we just camped and had a literal feast, took two steps and oh we need to eat again. Oh no more food? Guess we're gonna STARVE even though we just ate a fucking feast.

>>183486762
Agreed. They should change that.

You want heroes with bleed when you're fighting the flesh, especially houndmasters with hound's harry. Just stack bleed over and over, keep your guys healed, and you can't lose.

Write something about the antiquarian "Protect me" being really powerful with Highwayman, about how the Plague Doctor can heal deseases when necessary... small & great advices like that.

That's already in the antiquarian's section. Regarding disease cure I'll make a separate camping section at the bottom.

Fuck you.

>>183491163
What strategy did you use for the fight?

>>183491301
It looks like he used Vestal / Jester / HWM / MaA

>>183491430
Yeah I got that part. I want to know the details of the fight itself and why he decided to bring a Jester to it at all.

>>183491301
A strategy called Eldritch eraser.

>>183491543
If he was hunting for the Shambler like you're implying, Jester is good to mitigate the high stress damage from 0 torch and he can make really good use from the crit bonuses

>>183482482
not blood certainly

>>183491552
Maybe I should give the hater/slayer perks another look. Never felt they were worth locking in before because something like quick reflexes, hard skinned, or precise striker have more overall utility. Then again the quirk system is all RNG so I suppose you have to take what you can get and the hater/slayer perks are the few good ones.

>>183492161
Well you felt wrong because Slayer / Hater quirks are the best in the game.
Only undead type is not worthy of locking but Eldritch / Beast and Human types are all over the place including DD1-4 (E/B) and there are lots of humans in the Weald and Warrens.

>>183467573
Killed it with vestal,highwayman,flagelant and hellion. Dont try the bleedstacking shit just explode him down. I managed to kill him AND keep the dungeon going

>>183492580
I don't think beast is worth it though its better than unholy. Human/eldritch are more numerous and dangerous and for whatever reason guys like the skiver count also count as human.

>>183493103
Everyone in DD1-3 is Beast / Eldritch. Warrens is full of beasts as well.

>>183488329
Damn that's insanely stupid. I thought it was an RNG roll that got more likely the further you'd walked since the last one but that's even dumber. I actually can't even fathom the point of such a dumb system. It doesn't reflect reality well and it doesn't seem like a good way to add difficulty, just requiring people take max food every time or risk being fucked. The gold is negligible so you'd be stupid not to take a lot making it a non choice.

Hunger checks are pretty stupid, always bring max food everywhere.

Sometimes they happen extremely rare, sometimes they are so often you can't even use camp because you literally run out of food.

>>183486197
Where's your pick senpai

>>183493341
yea, but most beasts in there are also human

>>183485335

These fanatic skins are so fucking stupid, I love it

>>183486197
you killed the swine god. it counts

Haven't played in a while, just getting back into it. Couple of questions. How serious is the crimson curse / what does it do / should I avoid the courtyard until I have decent heroes and everything else under control?
Does radiant mode make things easier or just avoid the grind? Because avoiding grind sounds pretty tempting.

>>183476803
Turns out someone already did it so I stopped.

http://www.nexusmods.com/darkestdungeon/mods/367/?

>>183494318
I think it mostly reduces the grind and gets the game less long overall. Obviously some of it makes the game really easy (you can take lvl3 characters to lvl1 dungeons), but honestly who cares. The hard parts just stay as hard.

>>183479103
Plauge doctor is one of the best classes in the game though.

>>183494318
Aside from taking big guys to weak areas, it makes some Hamlet upgrades cheaper, equipment upgrades cheaper, gives more dodge in Radiant light, and makes bosses appear sooner.

So overall it makes things a bit easier.

>>183489223
Highwayman: This class is for riposte.

>>183494318
http://darkestdungeon.gamepedia.com/Game_Modes

radiant mode increases the defense bonus of high torch by 3.5 dodge

it also allows high level heroes to go into low level missions

lvl 4 max to apprentice and no limit for veteran allowing you to ignore the high level difficulty dungeons

every other change just speeds up the town and hero progression

I'm starting to realize this wasn't the best party comp for this dungeon.
Figures the one time I don't bring a Hellion, aka, Dom waifu, is when I need her the most

Hopefully I will get the resurection quest for him

>>183495889
Why would you take both Slice and Open Vein? Point Blank Shot is so much better

Should I complete the base game first before buying the dlc or doesn't it affect my current save file?
