Try it.

So, which of the classes is your favorite in design?
>>
>the fawn
Alright lemme tell you about this thing.

It's jumping all over the place, buffing its damage out the asshole and landing huge crits at level 0. This is 'balanced' by having abysmal resistance to everything and making itself bleed out.

Aside from the obvious author-insert fetish fuel, it's not really viable in any party unless you've got someone babysitting it to keep it alive.

Also, it has a camping skill that pushes death blow resistance to the cap.

What's the reasoning behind enemy target acquisition?
Is it just random for all possible targets within range? Or is it weighted for proximity?
i.e. if an enemy can hit the first three characters, is the first character more likely to be hit or is it all equal?
>>
>>186060215
AFAIR it depends on your resists, other than that, equally distributed
>>
>>186049405
Grave Robber.

Grave Robber is best girl.
>>
>>186059604
I ultimately run Vestal in third, PD in fourth. Actually, they occupy slots 2 and 3 respectively, but my GR lunges from slot 4 at the start of every fight.
>>
>>186059604
What's the issue? Aren't they both equally happy in 3 or 4?
>>
>>186060215

As someone who just started into modding monsters, different monsters have different "brains" that have a preferred skills that they will only use depending on their position and if whether the target is marked or has debuffs and stress level.

So a highly stressed character will be more likely to be gang banged by a party of 4 mosquitoes if your other party members have lower stress. The AI is a douche like that.
>>
>>186051173

Reminds me of the Pariah. It becomes afflicted by the time you reach your 4th battle because of the ridiculous stress it gets from its skills. You have to really babysit it with a Jester or HM just so that it wont go crazy.

Has anyone thought about doing an Opera / Pupeteer dungeon?

Like, have 'Ushers', half-dead men bound in string holding lanterns with Mark and Accuracy dropping attacks, and 'Extras', which are just dressed, blank dolls with hit marked attacks and stun attacks that entrap the heroe in string. Also have 'Workmen', who have attacks similar to the Madman's Prognostication attack, causing things like chandeliers to fall on the party etc., and a heal/buff for puppets.

Then get into specialist enemies for particular dungeons, like for the Ballet one there's ballerina dolls with high dodge, a guard move, and generally just dump Horror and bleeds onto the heroes while dancing back and forth in the enemy party, the Lead Dancer who causes bleeds, shuffles and stuns using her strings, and finally the Ballet Master who continually summons up ballerinas while causing stagger and bleeds to the party. Dungeon also has 'Dancer Extras', who act like normal extras in dancing clothes but move faster and hit harder. Infer in pre-dungeon banter that the Ballet Master harvests girls and turns them into grotesque puppets for the Theatre.

Then there's the Musc Dungeon, where in addition to occasional Ballerinas you have Choirboys and Chorusgirls, who deal loads of horror and marks from the back rows. In amongst these are 'Opera Extras' in Roman/Greek/Viking armour with high defense and attack. Sub-boss is a Hannibal-type Player, who has two phases - one where he retreats to the back and sings, causing loads of Horror and healing while Singer Extras bash the Heroes, and the second where he soars to the front, and deals crippling damage. Ends with the Primadona, who summons up lesser versions of the Hannibal Boss who continually guard her, while she rains Horror, damage and debuffs to the heroes.

>general dies when I finally have enough cash to spare for the DLC

At least I can talk about it in /indie/ and Red Hook has more DLC planned, so maybe this general will come back from the dead yet again.

>>186049405

Leper has coolest design
Hellion has most fappable design (plagueplebs need not apply)
>>
>>186073362
*Music. Pre-Dungeon banter states that the Primadonna entrances all that enter into her whim, but before she could attack the Ancestor with her slave army, he unleashed the Pupeteer on her. Now she entrances all to come and watch her show and deal with her every whim.

Next would be the Instrumental Section, where in addition to Ballerina, Choirboys, Chorus girls and Workmen, you also have Violin Players (who deal bleeds and blights), Cello players (backrow debuffs and horror), Horn players (cause stuns and debuffs from mid rank), Flute players, (Stumble and bleeds) and drum players (Heavy damage). Ends up against the Maestro - a real monster of a boss that continuously summons up Muscial players, continously stumbles the party, distributes random stuns and occassionally deals ridiculous damage to the front. Pre Dungeon banter speaks of how the Maestro was searching for the Best Music, and ended up under the Ancestor's thrall in listening to the Forbidden sounds. The Ancestor tires of his art, and throws him to the Puppeteer.

The final boss would be the Puppeteer. Dungeon is filled with one of each of the previous minibosses. Background matches each 'scene' that you killed the heroes in. In game banter of someone poorly impersonating the Ancestor acts as a narrator, chiding you and telling you your fools for following his dance, etc. Final sub boss is a Puppet Ancestor (who is pathetic), and the False Narrator falsely says that the dungeon is over, along with badly done musical cue and with the wrong shield popping up. Leaving works like you left a dungeon prematurely. Continuing on leads to the Puppeteer - A work bench and a pair of giant floating gloves. Strings flow from the bench. Background is a bunch of puppets and half people-half puppets bound in string. Pupetter's main focus is dealing massive single point damage, stun and bleed.

Well if you're gonna argue bayous and gators, then it'd be French colonial Louisiana, not New England.

I still think France, considering the style of the nobles at the Crimson Court, the default names all being French stuff, and France being so involved in Crusades.

The APEX PREDATOR struck me as the kind of exotic pet the Ancestor or one of his depraved friends might have imported, not a native creature.

Except there's no reason to ever use Incision unless you're specifically going for a Bloody Herb/Dissection Kit build; you should be using literally any four of her other abilities over Incision.

Meanwhile if the Vestal gets pulled forward, she can still use Divine Comfort. If the BD gets pulled forward from rank 3 then she can't aoe blight / stun anymore. If PD gets pulled from 4 to 3, both her and the Vestal can still function exactly as you need them to until you fix their positioning.
>>
>>186096787
Incision is good against enemies with high blight resist.
>>
>>186097029
Please explain why you aren't using her good trinkets so you can blight anything that isn't flat out immune?
>>
>>186097079
I run my PD with an all blight build but I usually bring her along with my Occultist more, with the PD specc'd for blight and speed, so she can shut down DoTs and take people off of DD before the OCC acts just in case of 0BLEEDLMAO

It's a good comp because I can bring my Abo along in Pos2 and something tough in front like a MaA or Hellion.

his little summons kept dodging my attacks and they landed crits on 3 of my units, killing a crusader and 2 plague doctors. the lineup was going so well up until that point

>>186097380
Okay, that's fine and all but where does Incision fit into all of this? With that set up, Hellion or MaA, it still makes more sense to keep your PD in rank 4 so your Occultist can use Sacrificial Stab.
>>
>>186097667
I'm just saying if you want to run a Vestal and PD instead of a PD and OCC, it makes sense to have the PD in Pos3 because she's more aggressive and versatile. Incision deals more damage upfront.
>>
>>186097932
>Incision deals more damage upfront
In theory. But ultimately you're stuck plinking away at the tough, armored enemies while the actual threats are in the back doing their thing.

>>186098295
Well yeah bring Plague Grenade, Blinding Flash, Incision, and Battle Heal or whatever.

You can plague the backrows, deal damage to the front rows in a pinch, still heal DoTs, and keep her awesome stun.

It's a fine Pos3 PD build if your healer is a Vestal in the back, or if you want to have an Auntie or Arbalest in tow if you want to run it with multiple mid-tier healers.

Thought: Darkest Dungeon is actually set in an alternate universe where history didn't occur the same way it occurred on our Earth, hence the Hellion, Bounty Hunter, Crusader and Plague Doctor all being encountered at the same time.

Maybe this is a world where various Euro aristocracy moved to the America, or some other excuse that sees swamps and crocodiles in Europe.

So I installed that Fawn mod, because that looked like a cool concept. One turned up in the cart, so I looked through her skills.

She is an absolute fucking mess.

>All her skills shuffle her backwards or fowards in some manner, so you're pretty much forced to take a shuffle friendly team
>All her skills have a -xx% to damage
>To make up for this, she has very high base damage, all her skills give her multiple self buffs; a minor boost to damage and skill, and bigger ones to multiple skills
>All but two of her skills cause a self bleed of 1 at level 1
>One is only usable at rank 1, and moves her back, the other is a self buff(???) that gives her stress
>She also has TERRIBLE bleed resist (10%)

So basically, I babysit this fucking thing with a Man-At-Arms and an overworked Plague Doctor, so it can do some decent damage on turn 5.

Why not take two other damage dealers that don't require an insane amount of babysitting, and that can get work done on turn 1, aside from boss fights that can get cheesed with literally any other kind of gimmick?

>>186134490
As someone that virtually never uses Incision on PD, after reading this discussion I'm actually inclined to say that Incision is better than it's given credit for. The ability to finish off an opponent is seriously underrated, and I find myself using Nervous Stab fairly frequently on my Antiquarian to finish off targets that my Hellion or BH or Hound leave at 1-5 health. Incision is the same, only it hits for 50-100% more damage.

There's a big difference in DD between doing 9 damage [RIGHT NOW] and doing 18 damage [SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE].
>>

The art is probably the best thing about it, even if her being a pig experiment (even squeals) with the aesthetic of a doe is kind of retarded.

Her gameplay is awful, though. Who thought a glass canon that zips around the field bleeding out and having heart attacks what a good idea?

It kind of works a bit better if you stack bleed resistance, but at the same time you cold just take a highwayman and give him damage trinkets and not deal with any of this shit.

The design is also fucking weird in-game because her empty eye holes are really fucking tiny and almost every part of her moves in every animation so it looks really odd next to the minimal movement of the base game. Overall, 6/10, the author tried.

>>
>>186145529
Change them off of ACC and DMG because the two of them together is too good to pass up. That or just nerf the DMG while also tightening the light restrictions on the sun ring. Maintaining a trinket that powerful should cost a ton of backpack space for torches. At least the moon ring forces you into dark runs.
>>
>>186148316
Reused assets aside, I think the mountain could use some sort of twist on the frozen hellhole setting to make it more interesting. Extraterrestrial eldritch monsters don't see much (if any?) use in the base game, so maybe do something with that. Something like a vaguely humanoid light monster that flashes northern light patterns at your party to stun, or warped ayys and cryptids like Mothman. Maybe mutated locals infested by The Thing. The Wendigo already looks like it's been touched by something.
>>
Secret rooms drop after hard. In the very beginning of the game they are amazing. Later on after you get the few trinkets they offer and making 20k or more per mission thanks to antiquarians getting a fat stack of heirlooms means much more than a puzzling trapezohedron. Once you get the bank up and running after a couple of weeks money becomes almost a non issue.
>>
>>186152596

Well what can you do when SpinePro costs 300 bucks? No modder is going to fork over money for that. Most of the reused assets happen because of skeleton limitations so if you deviate too much from the original base, your model will look fucked up.

Define 'speedrun.' If you mean beating the game in the quickest RTA possible would probably mean rushing level 3-4 heroes with appropriate weapons to the Darkest Dungeon itself and praying RNG works in your favor. If you mean in the lowest amount of weeks possible without reference to time you'll likely want to do the same thing but Virtue cheese on heroes in the Darkest Dungeon using Abomination set-ups or other heroes that stress heal like Houndmaster.

Why doesn't the vestal just use heal outside of battles? what's stopping a healer hero from using their healing skills once the battle is over?
>oh you are about to die from the next hit? ill heal you when we start the next battle?
>overly stressed? want me to sing you a ballad? once we begin another battle i will champ!
>>
>>186181612

There are lots of heroes and lots of compositions that can work, so for now just focus on having one of every class, and duplicates for the strongest classes:

Vestal, Houndmaster, Plague Doctor, Occultist, and Man-At-Arms are typically regarded as very important so it doesn't hurt to have "back-ups" for these classes. I also tend to run multiple Hellions and Bounty Hunters as I consider them to be the best offensive classes.

In general your team composition wants:
Healer - Stunner/Utility - Tank/Utility - Damage

Utility can be stuns, but also debuffs that reduce enemy damage, or party buffs. Stuns are absolutely essential and you pretty much can't expect to beat Champion dungeons without making full use of them.
A tank doesn't necessarily have to be someone bulky, but a class like Houndmaster can guard allies which fulfills that need of defending an ally. Alternatively someone like Abomination who can dish out stuns, and heal off damage he does take by himself.
If you can fit stress healing into your party that's also good, but it's not necessary.
Healing is pretty important, but keep in mind you don't necessarily need a single devoted healer if your party can all heal themselves in small amounts.

So my favourite composition in the game is:
Plague Doctor - Vestal - Houndmaster - Hellion

because it pretty much covers every base I could possibly want.

The other composition I will use is:
Arbalest - Occultist - Houndmaster - Bounty Hunter.

This is a marking party and also forms a good mix of utility, control and damage. Works in most areas and against most bosses.

its a game
games have mechanics
>why doesnt scouting out enemies guarantee surprise?
fag
>>
>>186181612
The biggest thing is the flexibility of characters. Keep in mind that as long as you're not in battle you can switch your skills around on each character. This will help you make your teams work together even better.
>>
>>186185274

This reason is what makes Houndmaster, MAA and Hellion so strong.

Literally swiss army knife characters.
>>
>>186185257

It doesn't make sense though.

Other RPGs let healers use heals outside of battles, and scouted monsters can let you attack them with you having the initiative.

I guess you could argue that you cant guarantee surprise attacks on a scouted enemy because of the light level.
>>
>>186185472
>Darkest Dungeon is about making the most out of a bad situation. The game expects a lot out of you
Unless you want to overhaul stress, damage, debuffs & quirks than healing outside of battle, camping & curios trivialize the game
>>
>>186146069
I can understand stacking damage and mad shuffles, but all her problems seem really uneccesary.

>way too much tacked onto her abilities because of the high base damage and massive skill damage debuffs, leading to a fucking mess of a buff bar, and said buffs lasting far longer than they really need to be
>her atrocious bleed resist forces you to take bleed resist trinkets, and a PD for good measure, while her shuffling nature and low hp means that either a HM or a MaA is required to keep the heat off of her
>Doe's Lullaby is fucking awful for the amount of time it costs

Remove the skill damage buffs, reduce their initial use debuffs, slightly increase the overall damage and crit buffs while reducing their length to a more reasonable duration. Change her base damage to compensate. Now she's more approachable and coherent, and her only problems are her lack of versatlity, both in party composition and trinket choices.
>>
>>186134463
>>186146069

>Everyone else looks tense and contemplative.

It looks more like the regular heroes are trying their best to ignore her out of second-hand embarrassment.
>>
>>186185472
Unless you're camping there's no time to sit and stall doing healing and listening to music.

You could be ambushed at any time.
>>
>>186189306

>Unless you're camping there's no time to sit and stall doing healing and listening to music.

The Jester begs otherwise. Also, characters are giving heals in the midst of battle where they can be randomly be stabbed. Why not do it in relative safety? I'm sure they don't have to worry about running out of mana as energy resources dont exist in this world.

>>186189925
What if doing an action when there was no battle attracted monsters. For all we know they avoid it because they want to avoid a fight, just like how they get stressed if you drag on a battle. Would you heal if there was a 90% chance to get attacked, which would also result in your healer having used a turn already and your party being surprised?

Also, does anyone know if there is a way to force the trinket warning message to appear it you forgot trinkets? It only seems to appear some of the time and I lost one of my best because I didn't notice he packed his gear.
>>
>>186193061
It may appear only if none of your party has trinkets.
>>
>>186193154
Yeah, I was wondering if there was a way to make it appear 100% of the time you forget trinkets.

Should ACC need to be a necessity in champ dungeons? I feel like you can never run a champ dungeon without accuracy bonuses so that limits you of either a quirk, trinket or even strategy like having to bring a MAA/jester solely for buffs.

>>186203781
If possible, definitely bring flag with you since his bleed is curaaezeee in warrens. He can also save a hero that's on DD with a DoT using reclaim or suffer. PD is also decent if you buff her blight enough and she's always useful with stuns at the rest of warrens. Frontline Hellion can hit all of flesh's spots and inflict bleed but she needs to be protected since she's not as tanky as the rest of the frontliners.

Plague Doctor to lock-down the backrow,
Graverobber to take out the match-man.
Leper or Highwayman to hit the Cannon, as they have high base damage. Emboldening Vapors is also good on your PD to support these guys.

Fourth can be anyone, probably a healer in the fourth row. Arbalest also works great as she has heals and accurate ranged attacks to hit the matchman.
>>
>>186218714
occ, abom, hellion

Gr or arbalest in the back
>>
>>186220792

Stagecoach to four heroes per week and 16 roster. You can usually ignore it after this.

Save your money and heirlooms for as long as you can, on Week 10 you can choose to build the Bank or Cartographer's Camp. Bank rewards you for saving money, Camp just gives you a flat +loot bonus, so pick whichever suits your playstyle.

Upgrade Treatment Facility to +2 slots. Treating negative quirks early saves money in the long-run so it's worth doing. Being able to get rid of diseases faster is useful too.

Upgrade Penance Hall to +2. Stress Relief facilities are usually a waste of money but it's worth getting two slots for this one so you can still treat your Flagellant whenever you want.

Most people recommend upgrading the Trinket Wagon. Usually this is a waste of money and resources because most weeks there's nothing worth buying, and anything that is worth buying is super expensive. Good if you are abusing the Bank and are looking out for specific trinkets, otherwise you can get all you trinkets you need from regular quests.

The rest of your resources go into the Guild and Armorer, which are the most important buildings are you'll devote the rest of your resources to these are 100%.

It doesn't need to make sense. The game would be a terrible joke if you could fully heal up people with heal skills outside of battle and it would require a re-working of how battles are or worse yet damage values.

It's like asking why you or your enemy is waiting in a turn based game when they could just get an action. So stop applying other games to Darkest Dungeon.

The team I like the most is Houndmaster, Occultist, Abomination, and Hellion. Everyone can hit ranks 1~3, and three people can hit rank 4. Rake can help you conserve actions while buffing your damage. Houndmaster because he can hit anywhere, guard in an emergency, and stress heal since you are using an Abomination.

I always imagined it was picked up by the caretaker. We've never seen the ancestor's corpse, however, so it's entirely possible it was never found. Perhaps there was just enough of him left alive to serve as a vessel, or maybe something already lurked in the depths of his mind and body at the time of his apparent death - something that would not die. This is speaking from a linear perception of time, however. Who knows which natural laws bind the nature of those beings from the outer reaches of space, if any? They can apparently bend space-time just enough to possess and corrupt life forms in our reality, so it's not too much of a stretch to say they've been manipulating events along multiple dimensional axes, setting up plot points before or after it should be temporally possible.

Ultimately, the nature of the genre allows Red Hook to get away with writing pretty much anything. It still kinda makes sense at the end of the day.

He could have sent the letter before he'd killed himself, of course. Probably the only logical conclusion, really. However, the opening cut scene makes it seem as though he'd just finished sealing the letter by the time he'd apparently shot himself.

He probably did, but the opening cut scene contradicts it. It makes it look like he had just written it then shot himself for dramatic purposes.

However, during the idle town dialog, he says that as the people of the hamlet were storming his mansion, the letter was already on its way. And yes, they did find his body, probably buried under the central statue or something.
>>
>>186290119

There's also the thing about calling him an ancestor. Generally, you call folks your ancestor when they're at least 5 or more generations before you. But the Ancestor himself looks just old enough to be your grandpappy.
>>
>>186291492

I sometimes wish DD stuck with coherent setting. When you really think hard about it, it's kinda jarring to see crusaders fighting alongside victorian era highwaymen. It really breaks the immersion of going into supposedly ancient ruins because you dont really know what ancient looks like because everything is a mishmash of historical references that coexist at the same time.

I suppose we could try and start a small community project as is the custom in some other generals - something simple, that anyone and everyone could engage in, like a mass experiment (for example, 'play a new Stygian dark run and post results' or 'regular run but you MUST have a Leper in your party if possible', maybe even a randomly-generated challenge).

Trying to clear a long champion dungeon for the ancestor's pen. I spent all my 60k gold and sold another couple thousand gold worth of trinkets to finance upgrading this group's gear to max.

You should kill bosses when the reward gives you a trinket you want, if you're about to over-level the bosses you can always keep a good party around on their level.

A Graverobber who is anemic, obsessed with killing and claustrophobic. She is also robust and tough which is great because she has deviant tastes and is a nymphomaniac.

So I picked up Darkest Dungeon on the Steam Sale and finally started playing it, I'm about 10 hours in and having a blast even if my favourite characters seem to always be the ones getting fucked by RNG.

Is it necessary to find party members who all synergize well together, or can I just use a party of independently strong characters? Using debuffs and buffs hasn't proved particularly helpful so far unless against an unusually tanky enemy, but I expect that to change.

Is it worth looking into mods this early, or should I complete a playthrough first? I don't have the Crimson Court expansion.
>>
>>186383740
Good party builds and trinket builds becomes necessary when you're going to a champion level. Just ease and prepare for now. Overall quality and balance of the mods are questionable. Most are just difficulty or ability tweaks. There are some nice classes though.

Why is the game suddenly running at ~10 fps for no reason? It's even happening in cutscenes and the main menu. It's ridiculous.

DD is the only game I see it happening in, and neither rebooting nor reinstalling my NVidia drivers helped. I've always been able run it at a stable 60 fps no problem, but now it randomly decides crap out on me.

I've been using a Dell Inspiron i7559. It should be perfectly capable of running this game.

I used to do moonstuff Beginner/Veteran runs but that pretty much became unnecessary with the introduction of le balanced Antiques girl. Now I do mostly 75+ runs, the introduction of Cartographer's was pleasant but not necessary. On Champion you are pretty much required to do Light runs if you want your men to survive.

New to the game; I'm basically just grinding up my party (almost to level 2 with my starting heroes!), repeating ruins a few times
Is it worth it to bring an antiquarian along? As far as I can tell all he does is add a 500 gold minor antique if you open curios with him, but he brings almost nothing to the table during combat

I've never even seen this feature, will check it out next time I play
I'm now at the stage where I can fairly easily beat level 1 dungeons, so I gotta start thinking about party compositions now that I stopped dismissing everyone after one mission
Any pointers for good party compositions? I don't want to just copy a composition but I'm not sure what compositions are most effective
Does it even make sense to bring a Vestal around? The one round in which she heals like 1/4 of the damage inflicted against me in a round, someone else could probably take out an enemy
Also I can't decide if Hellion or Crusader is best for the first line
>>
>>186530164
>I gotta start thinking about party compositions now that I stopped dismissing everyone after one mission
What the fuck.

>Any pointers for good party compositions?
You're looking for a combination of the following four things: healing, stress healing, damage projection (can they hit the back line?), and stunning.

There are a few other things that heroes can do, like marking, tanking, guarding, self-shuffling or shuffling your enemies, but they aren't primary qualities.

You want to set up a team composition that has options about how to deal with their opponents as well as things they can do when their primary role isn't needed. For example, the Arbalest can hit the back two positions easily and also has a respectable heal, so she fills one criteria (damage projection) and gives you a backup healer.

Your strategy in any given fight should be 1) reduce the number of actions that high priority enemies take (through a combination of stuns and damage), 2) control at least two size one or one size two enemies through self-marks, guards and stuns, 3) recover health and stress on your party until you feel it's time to end the fight.

>Vestals can't outheal the damage I'm taking
Not against four enemies dealing damage to you, but if you can reduce that to two low-damage monsters attacking once every two turns, her healing becomes far stronger. Ideally, you want to finish every fight with more health and less stress than you came in with obvious exceptions being bosses and shamblers.

>Hellion or Crusader for front line
You don't have to choose, you can run both. You aren't going to be using one single team comp, you'll be swapping people in and out depending on the mission and who's available. The Hellion is largely considered superior due to her double stun and ability to competently hit positions 3 and 4, but the Crusader is one of only three "true" stress healers, so you'll be using him a lot for that anyway.
>>
>>186531504
>What the fuck.
I had money problems so I just did a few missions with heroes new from the stagecoach, abandoned them when my stress got too high or their HP too low, and then dismissed the heroes cause it wasn't really worth keeping level 0 high stress heroes around
>them tips
Hm I barely used stuns so far, maybe I should think about it
I should probably also stop attempting the Cove for now, those stabby fish are annoying as fuck
>>
>>186531867
>Stuns
Because stuns are effectively trading one action from your heroes for one action from the enemies, you should be using it if one of the following is true: 1) the enemy has stronger actions that you do (e.g. stress casters), 2) your stun deals damage (so you're trading up an action, as they do nothing but you do a small amount of damage), 3) if you have a double stun ability, like the Hellion or Plague Doctor, as that allows you to trade two actions for one, and finally 4) if you're trying to stop the enemy from dealing damage, either to prevent them from potentially killing an ally or to simply reduce their damage output during the recovery phase of the fight.

Stress healing and virtue chance are for fags.
Just bring more DPS and kill stress dealers. A good general purpose party, especially by Champion level, is a healer, a tank, and either two DPS or one DPS and a support.

>>

The problem is that champion dungeons dont allow for meme set ups and favors utility classes rather than specialists.

Same reason that moon and sun rings render every other trinket obsolete other than heal bonus trinkets for healers.

>>
>>186574763
It's trash, just bring a moon/sun ring instead. The 7 Acc and Dodge you get from the set combination isnt worth the 10% free stress for at most 15% extra damage considering you should never be lower than 50% if you can prevent it.
>>
>>186578240
I wasn't going to use it as a set, I was thinking of pairing it with the Ancestor's Pen for big damage.
>>
>>186578146
Not to sound disparaging, but you're basically committing both of your trinket slots for a net gain of 8 dodge and 10% protection, the 20% move resist is worth less than the -20% stun resist.

A single "real" tank trinket like Barristan's Head or Ancestor's Signet Ring is worth markedly more than both of them combined.

Ancestor's memoir of the bounty hunter

"As my debts grew from my excavation of the dungeon, so did the need for money. During a period when I was running low on funds I have decided to seek some loans from the criminal underbelly who gave a large of gold while I offered them forbidden trinkets from the expeditions as collateral. Things were fine for a while but the crime lords paid less for my ill gotten gains and after an incident where one of them tried to kill me for my will, I have decided to take a more proactive solution to this that will cleanse me of my current debts.

Thankfully the hamlet was in no shortage of fools desperate for money and to avoid the Yellow Hand from taking care of their own as the hook has seen it's share of offenders so . One man came to me desperate for money after a badly made bet at the tavern that has left him indebted to me. I was no stranger to using some of them as test subjects of my depraved experiments but he was willing to work for me. So I brought him before the House of the Yellow Hand asked them for the list of names of the men I may owe money to. Lest they suffer a terrible fate at the hand of the constables who is willing to hang some crooks on the gaols for the relief of the population. He was thorough, killing every last one of them and for the time being I was spared from the debtors and returned to my work.

ALL IS LOST...
>>
>>186614642
All right, in an attempt to have an actual conversation instead of just spamming bumps, lets talk about this: I'm making a mod that's going to attempt to reduce or limit and in some cases remove most of the RNG from the game. A few ideas i've had are:

Torchlight - Suprise is removed completely and is sent to trinkets; Loot is made static over all light levels. Darkness results in more dodges and fewer crits, while light provides more crits and fewer dodges; these apply to everyone. This makes light cause bursts of stress changes due to the crits, while darkness provides continual stress over the quest. Instead of spamming torches to 100 always, keeping it closer to 50 becomes the better option if you have no illumination-based trinkets or quirks.

Traps - There are only 3 tiers for traps; 0%, 50%, and 100%. Classes that would encounter traps in their class profession have the higher %s; Highwayman and Antiquarian have 100% trap skill. I've actually done this first for the mod, and it works out well.

Combat - Every class has their 1st position "melee" as their first default ability, as a means to defend themselves in a shuffle/move. (also in the mod now, works well in normal gameplay) Bonuses from level-up reworked to permit protection % increase, and different resist stat growths.

Quirks - Curio interaction is a bitch, need help finding a suitable idea to balance and not simply remove.

Town - Heirlooms i'm intending to only get through quest rewards, and rarely in the loot except chests/cabinets/books+shelves
>>
>>186618847
In my opinion removing all RNG from the game will only harm it, when every outcome is predictable all the potentially interesting choices are taken from the player.

The original XCOM allowed you to get perfect 100% hit rates with some weapons, and the game was still enjoyable at that stage because the enemy could pull the same bullshit on you, or throw a grenade, or you got overconfident and didn't clear a doorway in a terror mission, or didn't point enough guns in the right direction.

Expect the blight/bleed from traps to be a lethal DOT duration. You play with the RNG, and you'll get crucified

>>186621973
Sadly Darkest Dungeon isn't Xcom, the combat system in this game is at best mediocre all things considered, way fewer choices you could potentially make. In Xcom theres positioning and all that jazz on top of the basic combat, the most we get is picking party comps and prioritizing certain enemies and planning your route through a dungeon. If all Xcom had was rolling your teams attacks and abilites against the enemies you'd get bored a lot faster.
The uncertainty is what makes the game work for me, theres not enough variables to consider without a layer of RNG to make sure I "remind myself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer".

To summarize: this type of turn based combat needs some additional element to keep/make it engaging (atleast for me) and RNG might not be the best solution gameplay wise but it is fitting for the theme.

As for Klepto that shit I can do without, most of the Quirks really aren't all that interesting.
Same goes for the way hunger works, I'd prefer something like a hunger meter and you having to chose when to feed your team possibly having it work similar to the way the crimson curse works with the party becoming weaker the longer they go without food, maybe increasing the ammount of stress they take etc.
Right now the only interesting part about food is that sometimes you might want to greed a little extra loot in exchange for not getting food ping stress+dmg but that's about it in terms of engagement.

>theres not enough variables to consider without a layer of RNG to make sure I "remind myself..."
there are a few things i've noticed that aren't used much, like intentional shuffle-trading (fuck you jester, HWM does it better with the riposte/point-blank combo) limited-per-combat ability uses, combat/quest effect durations, and a few other things. it all needs to be played with, but i believe it might be possible.

>As for Klepto that shit I can do without
Looking at the Quirk and Curio files, it should definitely be possible to make sure curio-quirks only hit on certain ones; specifically new ones that i'll setup for them to hit on, and not the useful things. It should also be possible to give them buffs through the quirk, as a means to offset their general worthless nature.

> most of the Quirks really aren't all that interesting
mostly because they only do a single thing, and sometimes shouldn't even be quirks but actually be diseases.

> food
it might be possible to simulate granulated hunger by increasing stack sizes and camping quantities (and reducing healing %) and then add on self-debuffs to most special-effect combat abilities (*cough* STUNNING *cough*) that causes a +hunger%
then when a hunger tile hits, it either does little more than a 4-8 point "snack" out of your 200 stack of food, or you get hit with 40 food use because someone really liked their destressing tactics.

prot is probably the best way to reduce damage numbers. occultist's weakening curse skill is also good, but requires debuffing enemies which may resist debuff rolls.

best way to avoid damage and stress all together is either kill shit or stun them so they can't get a chance to attack at all.

DoT is great against enemies with multiple attacks.

Why? A 4 damage dot over 3 rounds will do the same as a 12 damage attack anyway

Dots stack, like everything else. Why do you think PD is so good?
>>
>>186640261
So do regular attacks
>>
>>186640379
What? With a fully upgraded PD, you can be doing 18 points of damage every round after the 3rd round, that's not included the 2nd round 6 and the 3nd round 12.
>>
>>186640971
And you need 3 rounds to set that up, in which you could be doing 12 damage up front each time
>>
>>186641045
Good luck doing that to a 33% PROT enemy, much less a 75% PROT.
>>
>>186641045
The explanations you've been given have been correct but poorly argued. I'll attempt to clarify things to you.

Damage over time effects in Darkest Dungeon are weighted very highly in terms of action efficiency, but very poorly in terms of turn efficiency. A single action that applies a DoT may deal 18 damage, which is quite strong when you consider that it also deals damage through protection. However, it takes three turns to deal that damage.

To demonstrate, look at the Jester's "Slice Off" compared to the Bounty Hunter's "Finish Him". BH has an average damage of 12, so Finish Him deals 12 damage on average (ignoring bonus damage to stunned targets). Jester has an average damage of 10 and Slice Off has a -33% damage modifier, which means he deals 6.7 direct damage with Slice Off and a further 15 damage over three turns for a total of 21.7. The target will take one action after being struck by Slice Off, so you can consider the first tick of its bleed to happen instantly, thereby dealing 11.7 damage upfront.

Now, this may make it sound like DoTs are overpowered in Darkest Dungeon (and they are very strong), but there's no way to increase the damage of your DoT effects. You can, however, stack damage buffs on your regular attacks. That same BH with Dismas' Head (+25% damage) and a Sun Ring (+15% damage) and Slugger (+10% damage to melee skills) yields +50% damage (these stack additively in DD, not multiplicatively), and as such your BH would now deal 18 upfront damage. This comes at the cost of your trinket slots and does not ignore Protection the way that DoTs do.

All cleared up now? They both have their uses.

Why are cove enemies not beast instead of eldritch
>>
>>186651178
Because there's otherwise very few eldritch enemies in the game outside of the Darkest Dungeon.
>>
>>186651178

because innsmouth
>>
>>186651178

Lovecraft reference.

Back in the 1920s, the idea of fishpeople are considered otherworldly and horrifying. To us nowadays, they're no different from any beastman race.
>>
>>186651178
Because the definition of an Eldritch creature is "By all rights these creatures should not exist. At best they are alien, and at worst they are a terrible reminder of how easily even the toughest minds can be torn down."

The Swinefolk have the beast tag because they are crafted of the flesh of pigs. The Fishfolk have the Eldritch tag because they are the minions of an otherworldly god, a creature that they depict as vaguely humanoid but with a beard of tentacles and a skull reminiscent of an octopus' head.

There are at least three "big bads" in Darkest Dungeon's lore: the Crawling Chaos (or "Flesh", the primary antagonist), the progenitor of the Fishfolk, and the progenitor of the Shamblers.

They really need to make it so that Sun and Moon Rings instead regenerate/decrease torch level per turn in exchange for damage and get rid of the acc buff. Because at the moment there's practically no reason to pick any other trinket if you're a damage dealer

With love, /mlp/.

>>186658653

I would rather they take a look at other trinkets, especially making Very Rare damage-related class trinkets better.

For example, Wounding Helmet is not worth losing the ability to pull reliably, and the bleed nerf just makes the BH even more inflexible, all for 20 percent plus DMG that is unreliable because of no ACC buff.

Houndmaster's Spiked Collar gives DMG, but no ACC, and bleed chance is wasted because the hound attacks have pathetic DoT, and the Heal Received debuff is painful in longer fights.

Both items mentioned above are Very Rare, but is clearly not worth it compared to Rare sun/moon rings.

I could think of more, but basically, the DMG and ACC buff in one trinket really makes it crucial, especially on the Courtyard, where light is always at 75, and with the Bloodsuckers having ridiculous dodge stats.

From the looks of it, the Fishfolk are fine with staying in the sea and drowning people for a human sacrifice here and there, maybe not a world ending threat but definitely a problem if you want a healthy harbor

DoTs are like death tags you slap on a enemy. Half of your heroes have great ones (the best being flag and PD) and you can slap them on a weaken enemy and if your DoT will take all their HP on their next one-two rounds then you can quickly focus on your next target instead of trying to gamble and whitter down high prot enemies and trying to chop them in two-four hits.

I redownloaded and am about to start playing again after a year. Is the dlc worth it?
>>
>>186724823
Yes.
>>
>>186724689
I forgot to add, they can wipe out corpses that means the enemies will have their formation ruined which leads to a safer victory for you. There are times when you want to use pure damage on enemies like stress dealers but against everything else, DoTs will wipe them out faster. You can combine both pure damage and DoTs on enemies like swine champs that have low spd so when you have four heroes throwing DoTs and pure dmg you can one round them without facing a heavy attack.

Can you say more?

If you enjoyed the base game the dlc adds a lot of things even a new class, disease, etc. I'd say the new area is pretty cool as well with new curios and mechanics. Theres also radiant mode if you don't want to grind as much. Fuck the croc tho
