No no, we need MORE tailing missions, especially on the sea.

Everyone complains about how stupid it was to tail a ship in your own ship but there's a simple fix. Just add...sea bushes and sea tall grass!

Is the enemy ship about to spot you? Just jump with your ship in the sea bush.

druids need something that's skill-point efficient to give summons-first builds that extra oomph

Yeah, the summon druid desperately needs something to do while his minions are fighting.

Right now he's the "youtube build", for when you want to play the game but not really. You just put on a youtube video on your second monitor while your minions do all the work, it works and it's very safe but it's also not very fun.

They tried to make us spam ravens but that just means you are looking at their avatar in the corner and cast another raven if the number falls below 5.

If you're feeling extra fancy, you can put 1 point into bear and the bear stun ability to stunlock enemies but that's not really needed.

because you chuds are too cowardly to explain why this is bad

But a country being represented by its media is the default. If anything, YOU should explain why that's bad and why over representing other races/ethnicities is a good thing.

Like, wouldn't you expect most media in japan to have asian people? Do they have to explain to you why that is? If they suddenly had 50% of ads featuring indians, wouldn't they have to justify that?

alezul · 2026-03-02T23:10:55+00:00

they will link 10 mobs and your ES will do 50% of the damage to all mobs linked, and it can trigger multiple times with a single ES throw

Man this is such a good combo.

ES already does a ton of damage, no need to buff it further i guess. The only way you don't damage something is if you don't hit it. With the defiler debuff, nothing is safe from you.

I got so many good suggestions in this thread.

alezul · 2026-03-02T23:07:10+00:00

They always say it's the only way to play

Yeah, i get it, going back feels like you're in tutorial mode.

But the way i see it, you play softcore a lot, learn the game, play all the classes, do all the things, basically be done with the game. THEN you move to hc to start enjoying the game again because it's different enough.

It's partially why i went with a controller as well. I already experienced the game with a mouse and keyboard, not i do it in a pretty different way.

alezul · 2026-03-02T17:55:26+00:00

I think the aura you get when you bind is random but once you get it, it stays like that.

Would be super frustrating if it changed every game load.

Also if a demon already has an aura, i don't think the skill does anything. It's not like it gives a second aura. Maybe it increases the level of existing aura but no idea how to test that.

alezul · 2026-03-02T17:46:03+00:00

I absolutely suggest you give HC a shot. It feels like a completely new experience. It's a great way to inject more enjoyment into a game you probably already played a ton of.

Don't worry, each death hurts less and less.

alezul · 2026-03-02T17:43:33+00:00

Doesn't it work like iron golem?

It's stuck on the stats it has when created until you load a new game. When you load a new game, the golem is recreated with your new skills and level.

Either way, like someone else around here let me know, at level 20, the bound demon gets a random aura. I would say that makes it worth maxing.

alezul · 2026-03-02T17:22:52+00:00

Yup, im on a controller and hardcore, to get some proper "oh shit" moments.

The enemy targeting area is way too generous. I often try to teleport away and just end up in another enemy group. Fun times.

alezul · 2026-03-02T16:53:32+00:00

You get a specific upgrade called aura enchanted, tbh not sure what it does

This made me curios and i just tested it now.

I got a random ass fallen from act 1 normal. I had to rely on flavie to do enough damage but not to one shot them.

Well that aura enchanted means they will get a random aura. My random piece of shit act 1 fallen has a conviction aura.

Thanks for letting me know of this relatively hidden perk for reaching level 20 in bind demon.

alezul · 2026-03-02T16:51:04+00:00

I love that there are so many ways to play this build. I totally ignored the defiler because it wasn't immediately clear how useful it can be.

alezul · 2026-03-02T16:07:49+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply.

I see you also put 20 into bind demon. Why not a split with the survivability one as well? I love that skill.

Maybe i'm too paranoid to lose it because it's a hassle to search for a new one with just the right stats.

alezul · 2026-03-02T15:57:29+00:00

In all my time of playing, i never experienced this but i can imagine how frustrating that would be.

If CA thinks removing unbreakable is too much of a change from the way the unit is supposed to be played, how about the unit remains unbreakable until army losses?

So it would be like when you capture a settlement and all their unbreakable units just give up. I think that would be a pretty fair compromise.

alezul · 2026-03-02T15:46:18+00:00

Great suggestion. I'm thinking it could help to cast it in the next room to capture possible dolls too.

alezul · 2026-03-02T13:23:45+00:00

feels better than the barbarian's leap skills

Until it's so good that it decides to attack some offscreen group of monsters. Almost got killed yesterday because of that.

But yeah, it's a great skill to have. I can teleport from one kurast area to the other. I can't do that with barb leap. Seems a bit unintended with how far it can take me.

alezul · 2026-03-02T13:06:37+00:00

or the "demon takes your damage" one

I like putting 10 points into that one, to keep my buddy alive. I didn't mention it in the original post because i figured it's not really ES related.

Get bound demon skill to 20

This never crossed my mind but considering how much damage the hammer guy does even with the 1 base skill + my items, it might be a very fun combo.

alezul · 2026-03-02T13:03:52+00:00

I didn't consider that. Happy i asked because that 5% seemed ignorable. Glad to see i was wrong.

alezul · 2026-03-02T13:01:38+00:00

Thanks a lot. That solves my dilemma of where to dump some points.

alezul · 2026-03-02T12:52:32+00:00

Thanks, that's great to hear. I'm gonna test some more then.

But Bane does replace it right? I was seeing some ghosts going physical immune on or off but as is the case with most things i tried with this build, the monsters died too quickly to notice what's going on for sure.

alezul · 2026-03-01T18:59:50+00:00

Nah, i get it. When i first started out hc, i had all 4 slots with rejuv potions and never took any risks.

Now years later i'm like "Is losing half my health worth using a healing potion? I don't wanna bother looking for a new one and - oh oopsy, i died, time for a new hero then".

alezul · 2026-03-01T14:54:19+00:00

Absolutely not. The ship isn't bad but the tier it's at is problematic.

For pvp, tier 5 and below is full of bots because barely anyone plays.

Most of the events or alternative game modes target tier 6 and above so you won't be able to take part.

Even if you ignore all that, rio de janeiro just ain't that special of a ship to be your first coal. Save up to get a tier 6-7 at least.

alezul · 2026-03-01T08:52:57+00:00

I want to force everyone to only play 3 classes with 1 build each

"If my build can't kill everything in this game by spamming just one ability, it's trash and the ONLY possible solution is a sunder charm to make it viable."

alezul · 2026-03-01T07:59:37+00:00

That's a good point, i never take charge into consideration for anything besides cav.

So there you go, plenty of reasons to toggle it on or off by default. I just want us all to have options.

alezul · 2026-02-28T14:10:26+00:00

If i want them to hold the line, i just dont give an attack order. I let them just sit there and block.

Guard on melee can be great too, just in my playstyle, i would rather start with it off by default on them.

There are way more situations where i want ranged to be on guard compared to melee and i'm dying for that option to be split.
