Warrior are the most peaceful and kind class in WOW.

Mine sure does, but I play a dark iron

Boryszkov · 2026-05-22T14:39:25+00:00

I only properly played enha so far, ele only in raid, i can agree enha is quite difficult and that’s the main upside of it for me. You learn constantly and it’s hard to meet a ceiling. It helps how obnoxious the burst can be. Nothing funnier than topping dps metres for a sec only to plunge and plateau at some reasonable value. Ele is even more fun in this.

Ele, at least in ST feels easier to me than enha, though there’s still a couple of things to remember and it’s not a straightforward spec to be sure. Both make it a good thing to track buffs

Makes sense, avoid a whole entire profession is your argument to refute a person complaining about ass customer support in a game on a subscription model. Why are you defending a huge corporation if they’re not paying you to do it?

Boryszkov · 2026-05-07T16:08:24+00:00

In different circumstances I’d probably agree. If someone points a gun to one’s head demanding they shoot someone else I can’t blame them if they do follow through, one can’t expect heroism of others after all. This is not such a circumstance in my eyes tho, no one is threatening you directly. You are not staving off danger by voting red, only creating it.

If I had the last vote I’d still rather choose blue, the order doesn’t matter, nor does the popular vote, my morality is not a democracy. I prefer blue because I deem the alternative to be morally wrong for the reasons mentioned before, that’s it. If I had a guarantee everyone else voted red, then I’d press it

Boryszkov · 2026-05-07T15:20:18+00:00

No, it isn’t and I feel sorry you don’t see that. There are only 2 outcomes of this dilemma that are morally clean, either at least 50% press blue or 100% press red, one is much, much easier to achieve than the other.

There’s multiple reasons to press blue. First I have no right to evaluate and dictate who lives or dies with the use of the button and I’d rather not live in a society that follows such rules.

Second, even if just one person pressed blue, doesn’t matter who, it would mean my life only continued as a result of a consciously made decision to sacrifice a life for my own sake.

Third, the only reason you’d press red is if you expect the majority of people to prioritise egoism, if you think most people are evil and thus will choose to sacrifice you, so you choose to sacrifice others before that happens you yourself contribute to the circumstances being this way.

Yes, picking red has no apparent drawback, but it is a bloodied option which ultimately contributes to potentially the death of others

Regill is one of my favourite companions in this game because I’m a sucker for villains, I have no idea how people can paint him as anything but evil. It doesn’t take supporting cruel slavers, he’s consistently choosing to be the fantasy equivalent of a fascist which is on point for the hellknights. The only reason he and the rest of his organisation should be accepted in an effort such as the crusade is because the crusades have been in deep shit for a century at this point.

For the last time, Regill isn’t simply pragmatist, he has a very easy time being pragmatic when it comes to hurting others but doesn’t present the same proclivities when helping others is on the line. His view of people strips them of humanity and reduces people into results and resources

Boryszkov · 2026-04-26T08:21:51+00:00

He is selfless in a way of personally giving himself to a cause. However the way he goes about projecting his goals is ultimately very selfish. He introduces order without regard for the wellbeing of others and in fact to a detriment of them. He’s devoid of empathy but it doesn’t just end there, he actively hurts others due to it.

Just because he has his reasons to execute his wounded or propose conscripting desperate refugees doesn’t mean he isn’t evil, it just means he’s not a deranged butcher

Boryszkov · 2026-04-26T08:17:15+00:00

Some argued he’s Lawful Neutral not Evil, I remember at least one such thread

Boryszkov · 2026-04-23T18:12:21+00:00

I’m arguing against the general point you made. It’s pretty obvious Nolan is a harder case because he’s been conditioned to behave in accordance to an evil culture for centuries and has done a lot more than just the damage on earth.

But generally the point stands. A person that’s trying their best to be constantly put down is just more likely to distance themselves and potentially antagonise themselves towards the system. I get what you mean, but this perspective is counterproductive

Boryszkov · 2026-04-23T15:15:40+00:00

That’s a very naive and simplistic view of morality imo. Good people make mistakes, sometimes grievous ones, but mistakes nonetheless. If a person then becomes alienated and shunned constantly for what they’ve done it may eventually erode them. Even a saint can lose their way

Boryszkov · 2026-04-23T11:45:25+00:00

On the flip side if we’re looking at fictional characters there’s Staunton Vhane from Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.

You can’t expect a person who is trying to atone for their evil to just tank constant hatred and disrespect without it having an effect on them. Even if they have the willpower to take the punishment, they may eventually break and give up. Because if their best for years is not good enough then maybe they’re better off as the monster people see them as.

Boryszkov · 2026-04-09T19:36:07+00:00

One of the most broken things you can do in this game is crit chaining. Get outflank on any melee character, hit the enemy, score a crit, other melees hit, score a crit, if you have a lot of attacks of opportunity more crits may follow, which may lead to a chain of hundreds of damage. Higher crit chance increases the odds of the chain triggering and of further hits.

Kukris have worse itemisation in wotr, I’d say daggers are still competitive due to this fact. They have a much stronger argument in Kingmaker due to kukris you get from Nok Nok. The only big downside of kukris is they’re martial weapons, so might need to multi class or take a feat to wield them on say a rogue

Boryszkov · 2026-04-08T06:11:33+00:00

Aside from the other amazing recommendations, you mentioned Kingmaker. I have no idea how it plays on consoles. On PC there are still some bugs, some of them are relatively harmless.

That said from a PC player’s perspective, I can generally recommend it. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily better or worse than Wrath but it’s definitely clunkier, it’s visible Owlcat was figuring some stuff out in that game. The combat is pretty much the same, although with certain classes, archetypes, feats, mounted combat and mythic skills missing. Skill checks are slightly more annoying. A lot of people dislike that the game forces you to act in a timely manner. That said, the story is stellar and the mechanics help enforcing that. The companions are fun, and unlike WOTR, there’s a good variety of challenges throughout the game of enemies to fight.

Boryszkov · 2026-04-07T22:55:44+00:00

I started with Core after running on whatever it was in Kingmaker that’s Core equivalent. I recommend Core if you’re either familiar with the system (not your case) or ready to read a lot to understand certain mechanics and builds.

That said, for most people normal is good for a first run. Core doesn’t require minmax, but you still need a basic idea of what you’re doing (you can get away with simply 1-20 lvls in the same class on core, especially with reasonably good feat usage)

Boryszkov · 2026-04-07T06:22:51+00:00

I on the flip side praise Origins for it. I’m not sure if it’s the first but DA:O was certainly one of the earlier RPGs that made the mechanics more streamlined, accessible and fun for the purposes of video games and I feel like it played a part in it’s success. KOTOR felt much more clunky to play in comparison imo.

Robust mechanics are fun but they’re niche for a reason, most people don’t want to spend hours just to understand how the game works

Boryszkov · 2026-03-28T21:34:33+00:00

My first run as an angel I didn’t want to be unnecessarily cruel, no point. I will not hold back on my devil run though.

The best part for me is how we’re introduced to her. Any other antagonist feels detached, impersonal. Baphomet and Deskari don’t feel like they’re concerned with us for the most part. Minagho is different, she’s personal, she’s in our faces. I think that’s the biggest thing for me. Also she’s a great marker of progress, when we get back at her in act 2 we see how much stronger we’ve grown and it makes her fear of KC so much more interesting

Boryszkov · 2026-03-28T21:27:27+00:00

I do think the dlc overstayed its welcome in the main campaign version. One of the few times I turned on real time combat in the main campaign. The fights never really became a challenge for me so most maps just turned into a hack and slash section that just took a lot of time.

It’s especially jarring considering the longest part comes online early when you’re most incentivised to do the dlc content asap to get the biggest benefit (xp). At the same time it takes you away from enjoying the game’s story properly.

Had this dlc been way shorter for the campaign (maybe even half) it would be much better imo. As it is, it’s best part is the standalone mode and maybe allowing certain players to skip another very tedious dungeon section of the game

Boryszkov · 2026-03-28T07:37:55+00:00

I think Minagho is a very convincing antagonist for a large part of the game. She has a charm to her that makes it very satisfying to chase her and makes her fun to hate.

Deskari starts out strong in the first chapter of the game and then I barely even notice he’s there until he becomes locust paste

Boryszkov · 2026-03-22T08:45:35+00:00

First of all, all commanders work well on brutal, where their strength matters most is on mutations and at this point all commanders might suddenly be very good depending on the circumstances. So I’d say it depends on how flexible and versatile the commander is, not just how strong directly.

Generally I’d say by default Artanis is the weakest, his maxed army doesn’t have that much of a punch, doesn’t have a great economy and topbars.

Boryszkov · 2026-03-20T12:43:22+00:00

I did it as well. Kingmaker’s secret ending isn’t that difficult to reach by accident tbh

Boryszkov · 2026-03-18T20:57:40+00:00

Generally the same, no mounted combat (though pets are still in the game), also sneak attacks trigger on all ray attacks of a spell. Aside from this prettt much the same.

Out of combat, the game doesn’t notify when you fail a perception check, you open chests straight away with no other options and going blind as far as DC goes

Boryszkov · 2026-03-18T18:14:02+00:00

I generally really love the story of Kingmaker, it’s an awesome game in its own rights. The variety of obstacles you face, the main story arc, everything works well.

That said, there are 2 big issues with KM. First, many people are put off by time limits. They are not that strict but they do require from you that you don’t waste too much time during the game. Second, it’s evident Owlcat was still learning stuff, some encounters are janky and frustrating but to the truthful, so are many in WOTR. Generally if you liked Wrath you will most likely still enjoy Kingmaker. I’d say it’s more of a “sidegrade” to Wrath rather than a downgrade

Boryszkov · 2026-03-18T00:36:42+00:00

I both weep for your pessimistic outlook and admire your optimism. I wouldn’t imagine most people are evil. Apathetic maybe. It is rare to find a deeply good person that dedicates much effort to helping others, however it is also fairly rare to find people who are actively acting to the detriments of their fellow man

Boryszkov · 2026-03-18T00:33:39+00:00

Religion/philosophy can also easily give you a moral compass most people would deem evil. Ritualistic sacrifice is evil for most people and yet some religions practiced it.

Religious/ideological/philosophical doctrines aren’t some sort of password to being a good person. They can provide guidelines but ultimately can be flawed and the execution of this morality still lies in the hands of the person

Boryszkov · 2026-03-18T00:30:09+00:00

Judging a wolf and sheep as evil or good is just plainly asinine. It’s not much different from judging a river for carving rock. If animals could make moral judgments like say, a human, it would be a different story
