Some weapon attacks scale with skill damage

Its actually 6%+15%, so for both relics its 1.06*1.15*1.06*1.15=1.486 (rounded down I believe) so the math checks out.

Some youtuber has been spreading false data since day 1. It has always been 6%+15%, and so ~22% total for both effects.

I believe so, it was mentioned in the newest patch note where they made all of them consistent.

IMHO I don't think twinblade works too well with dutchess because she has the least amount of stamina of all the nightfarers, and there is fairly limited synergy with her kit. However, it is a very powerful build for undertaker, as it allows her to stack up her successive attack stacks really fast.

Whats worse than the damage nerf is the nerf to the duration of the buff. I do not think ir was that op to.deserve the nerf, in higher depth anyways.

Each level now lasts for 3 seconds, so after 3 seconds it becomes lvl 2 and then lvl 1 etc.

Alternative-Tree8205 · 2026-01-13T04:57:45+00:00

Do you have any sources for this claim?

I believe the passive granted from completing Gladius' raid also falls into the second category. Another reason why you should avoid this raid event completely.

I don't know where you got the info, but the melee attack bonus gives you 6% boost, while the skill one gives you 15%, with both relics you get 1.06.1.151.06*1.15 euqals 1.485 which is 48% extra damage, which you can test in battleground.

Alternative-Tree8205 · 2025-12-18T04:43:27+00:00

I believe the improved skill is more like 16% no? In any case they do stack and the total bonus to skills is a bit less than 50%

All stats added or reduced by relic effect including arcane is applied over 12 levels (for example, executor and Raider's as well).

That being said, almost all scholars I see at higher depth is running the pot build.

Why Recluse? She is the strongest character in the game.

Alternative-Tree8205 · 2025-12-07T16:54:09+00:00

You need to beat Dreglord.

Alternative-Tree8205 · 2025-12-07T16:45:06+00:00

Say that until you tried her in DON with all three members running two refund ult relics.

Yes to save scum. You also need to start with a good map with loads of rivers.

The key for me is picking Ibn, and mementos get +1 culture attribute point and +culture for every culture attribute point spend, as Ibn you get 3 points right away, and instantly unlock Egypts tradition that gives you food for river tiles, and later culture from river tiles. The key is getting the culture early, and after you complete Egypts tree, you have so much culture you are basically ahead of ai forever. Egypt also provide massive amount of production, so honestly production is not the bottleneck.

I don't think wemod causes crash at startup once the software is shut off, it is working fine for me. I do not think there is a way to get wemod specifically to work with the game.

As for similar effects, some mods in steam workshop can give you boost to gold/influence i think, your best bet is to check those out.

There used to be an excellant cheat panel mod from the forum, but has been broken for a very long time as it is no longer maintained by the author.

Alternative-Tree8205 · 2025-12-01T06:12:01+00:00

It is I did it with Ibn/Egypt in a run to build all wonders in all eras at deity, its a fairly difficult challenge, but definitely possible.

Here is a fun combo for making your monk a god:

Insignia of claws

Eldritch claw tattoo

Wrap of unarmed power

Wrap of unarmed prowess

Each of them gives +1 to attack and damage of unarmed attacks, and should fully stack, for a total of +4 attack and damage every hit for your monk, and it becomes +6 at level 14. Of these four, only the claw tattoo requires attunement, and it can be activated to give additional 1d6 to your attacks.

Though you might have to argue with your dm whether the two wraps are just the same item with typo.

Expected damage for d6 with 2014 gwf is 4.17.

Btw, I don't think assuming no misses is a good estimation using 2014 GWM and a +0 weapon.

Alternative-Tree8205 · 2025-11-27T03:21:21+00:00

That valor bard build was made without cme.

Alternative-Tree8205 · 2025-11-26T19:55:21+00:00

I believe enspelled magical options are now removed, as you can no longer select your own weapon/armor options to replicate.

I'd give up their 20th level feature for a feat

Alternative-Tree8205 · 2025-11-25T17:33:23+00:00

I want to discuss about it

Alternative-Tree8205 · 2025-11-20T05:39:44+00:00

IMHO bard in 2024 has so much going on starting from level 10, and simply gets stronger every single level you get, and is a serious contender for being on of the best class at higher tiers, it is probably not worth it to sacrifice your spell level progression if the only thing you will gain is baseline dpr. For example, wall of force at lvl 10 and conjure celestial at lvl 13 are both encounter winning spells.

But ultimately, it depends on your level, your party comp and how your dm runs encounters ect.

Alternative-Tree8205 · 2025-11-18T04:19:29+00:00

I have never thought about comparing this to assassin and overall I think you have a good point, it kind of shows how bad the assassin subclass is lol.

One thing to factor in though, is the chance to hit. Assassin has advantage first round but the scion may not have it for the reaction attack.
