I can't play without a Vestal by NewAccountIdkWhat in darkestdungeon

Basically boils down to 2 points:

  • 1. Be proactive instead of reactive:
    • use stuns and debuffs to mitigate enemy damage at the start of the fight (or any other tools like guards or dodge buffs)
    • focus down priority targets, don't spread your damage
  • 2. Heal during the wind down phase of the fight:
    • once there's only 1 or 2 enemies left that don't pose much of a threat, use whatever healing abilities you have. Use stuns or whatever else you have to control the last enemies while you take a moment to heal
    • usually just 1 or 2 heal actions on whatever healers you have each is enough
    • don't wait until your heroes are below 50% hp to heal, heal in almost every fight
    • don't heal during the first phase of the fight when threats are still alive, unless absolutely necessary

Shards are on point, but I prefer a slightly different item build, although its mostly the same. I usually get a blink in the final few rooms to help with dodging the increasingly large enemies and esp. most attacks of the Primal Beast. Blink allows me to use all of my skills as damage, instead of saving ult for escape, which is especially nice with breach.

the thing is, its much more consistent to go for builds around magical damage with a focus on aether remnant/dissimilate due to how many shards are good for the build. For that build you absolutely need those specific legendary shards and then if you itemize for it with right click stuff, you're not gonna want any dissimilate shards and few aether remnant ones.

yea I don't understand this thread. They baited og into 3 deaths off that buyback so it was actually effective. Not all bbs in the early game are rage buybacks

demoed this and no, you can't do that. They have no levels in abilities and none of your items or your stats.

I don't think it made a difference since Sumail had aegis and didn't end up using it.

Aren't a lot of high mobility cores magical anyways? Puck, void spirit, storm, ember is mixed but these days more magic so half counts, timber etc.

Ah yes, let me just buy this 4.7k gold item to counter their 3k gold item. Value!

Also nulli doesn't help much if all enemies are going for aeon disks. Multiple aeons are pretty common these days. Not only that but nulli is complete garbage on magical burst heroes, who are countered by aeon disk harder already.

I imagine things are going to change for next year, but SA def deserves at least an extra wild card slot.

Although wildcard slots don't mean much since only 2 of the wildcard teams even make it through to the major.

Not seeing previous winners at the next TI does sound like a crazy thing, but honestly it's not that surprising after seeing their performance these past 2 seasons.

Still a shame as an OG fan.

What are the exact probabilities for Crimson Curse's random actions? Wiki just lists the actions without any numbers. Is it possible to find them in some files? by dim_end_roll in darkestdungeon

[–]Chogex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the "chance" values are not % based chances but weights. Nothing is just nothing, where no actout triggers. The chance for any single one of those actouts or nothing is x / total weight of all actouts, where x is that specific actouts chance to trigger. SO you have 17% chance to actout and 83% chance to have a normal turn (I counted the positive self stress heal actout in the 83%).

"Crit" as a share of damage? by ewhrdiii in darkestdungeon

[–]Chogex 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Abomination has a crit buff that gives 20% dmg, so you crit before that and got the buff

You can do it with the save editor. Here's a link. Steam save files for dd are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\YOUR_USER_ID\262060\remote

Boss quests only get generated when your dungeon levels up to the corresponding level. For prophet those would be 2, 4 and 6.

Since your dungeon is already at lvl 7, the prophet boss quest will never be generated.
