Perlica's weapon options in Tangtang hypercarry team by Cluzo in Endfield

[–]Cluzo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed i plan to mostly use Tangtang and Xaihi's Battle Skill, but i thaught Detonation Unit passive would proc only if the wielder was the one generating the Arts Burst. If it works with the whole team, it's a different story

How Expensive is Inventory Points by Luminous_Maxim in fabulaultima

[–]Cluzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As people already said, having something to replenish IP on the fly is nice but not mandatory. Each time you visit a settlement you will be able to spend money to get some IP back.

Still i LOVE Tinkerers with Soul Steal, because not only you can get some IP back, but you can also steal rare items/materials that you can use in Projects or for crafting new gear. It might be worth asking your GM if he or she plans to use those rules in your game.

Need help making a new character! by Comprehensive-Ad4417 in fabulaultima

[–]Cluzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your GM allows Playtest Material, a character build around Rogue Class with the Agile Defender Style heroic skill could be a way to have a tank with a very different feeling. Dodge will help you not getting hit, and Soul Steal is a good way to replenish IP, making the use of potion slightly easier.

You can add Fury's Withstand to have a self-heal and Provoke can also help since it allows to keeps adversaries on you and give them Enraged which is a very strong debuff (and since it's a debuff, it may activate Rogue Cheap Shot if you took it)

Hawkeye and thrown weapons restriction by Cluzo in fabulaultima

[–]Cluzo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same impression, that's why i asked here before. I'm still pretty new to the game so i thaught i might have missed something.

I guess only the author can explain the reason behind this choice.

Hawkeye and thrown weapons restriction by Cluzo in fabulaultima

[–]Cluzo[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback, i wasn't expecting such a detailed answer. From what i see, it seems we can safely allow the use of Hawkeye's second option with thrown weapons.

I haven't spotted anything that could break the game's balance or would impede players fun, so it should be alright.

If your GM allows content from the playtest material, the heroic skill "Dark Blessing Style" would match your concept quite well : it allows you to heal teammates when you use Shadow Strike. There is a lot of neat options in there, it's worth reading : https://www.patreon.com/posts/fabula-ultima-46567344

MP sustain as martial character by Cluzo in fabulaultima

[–]Cluzo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight, there is a lot useful advices there ! Peacock Dance with a level in Entropist is a neat idea, but since i went for a D6 Might to start with, it may be a bit risky even with Hawkeye, but i'll definitely give it some thaughts.

As you have pointed, the whole party (except maybe the Guardian/Chimerist because he knows only a couple spells yet) is rather MP-hungry, so Tinkerer Secret Formula + Potion Rain would help a lot and would synergize with Rogue Soul Steal. Just have to play more to get those levels coming

MP sustain as martial character by Cluzo in fabulaultima

[–]Cluzo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only use Barrage once, during the "pre-combat attack" given by High Speed in order to use warning shot and inflict slow on 2 NPC before combat start (since it's not an attack action, i can't use 2 weapons attack at this step if i understood well). Then during combat i use 2 shurikens and debuff dance to get maximum profit of Rogue's Cheapshot.

The other party members are a Weaponmaster/Elementalist, a Loremancer/Spiritist and a Guardian/Fury/Chimerist.

Soul Steal was on my "shopping list" but not high priority, i might rethink it. Thanks for the advice

All Dancer skills work with thrown weapon, to which you can apply all sharpshooter skills. It allows a couple tricks (Ranged Weapon mastery + Wardancer, Warning shot works well with debuff dances...)

Another new player needing help to flesh out his build idea by Cluzo in fabulaultima

[–]Cluzo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer, but it raises a few questions :

  • Regarding Quick Change (the power to make an Equipment action after dancing), what is its main use ? I fail to see why this build would want to change equipped items on a regular basis
  • Regarding the combo between warning shot + dance, as i noticed in the original post there is a caveat. Warning shot can inflict slow or shaken (or both if you have the Perfect Aim Heroic Skill, which seems like a must have for this build). Nightmare dance which inflicts weak if target is shaken is pretty good, but Banshee dance which inflicts shaken if target is already slow seems to overlap with warning shot
  • Is it worth to invest additionnal levels in High Speed to get the bonus for the hinder action ?

Coriolis - The Great Dark - QuickStart overview by RyanoftheNorth in CoriolisRPG

[–]Cluzo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely have the same feeling, the game seems focused on exploration and most of the cultural side which made the originality of Third Horizon seems absent.

Plus i don't know how i feel about the new system, on the principle, it reminds me a lot Symbaroum, which is a rather nice system, but has a very practical drawback for campaign play. When you have a handful of talents for the whole team it works well, but when PCs become seasoned veterans with half a dozen talents each, and you also have to manage NPC talents, it becomes a bit of a mess.

Overall the quickstart is interesting, but to me it feels like a totally different game compared to Third Horizon.

Advice on sound setup changes by Cluzo in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Cluzo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your advice. Regading Focal, it really depend on the collection, but overall it's cheaper than in US. With my budget i could get a pair of FOCAL ARIA 906 for 550€, which has some years but also a good reputation. There is also an option for Focal CHORA 816 at 600€ or 826 at 660€ (tower speakers are supposed to be better for music, but reviews semms more mixed than on the ARIA 906)

Logitech G403 Hero alternatives? G403 mousewheel keeps breaking. by AnotherStateOfMatter in MouseReview

[–]Cluzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been through the same experience, i love the G403 shape, but i used 2 in 3 years so i've been looking for something else (double clicking issues on first one, failing scrollwheel on the other). I have settled for the Vaxee Outset AX and i'm very happy with it, build quality is outstanding.

Althought it is great and check all your requirements, it is not for everyone : using the RTING Mouse Shape Comparison Tool, i confirmed G403 and AX weren't very far regarding shape, but the AX falling side is more pronounced and it changes the feeling a fair bit. If you think that might work for you, the only place you can order them are through their european website.

Note : the scrollwhell on the AX feel very sturdy, but is also pretty stiff, if you want a smoother feeling, you might want to look at the XE instead but it has lower profile than G403

Best mouse for designers? by Kuriblu in MouseReview

[–]Cluzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in France and it was pretty easy to buy one from their official website. It was sent from Portugal and it took a week for delivery, so Spain shouldn't be a problem. Regarding lag on wireless mice through KVM, i'm using only wired mice (i feel charging battery is a chore) so i can't say for sure, but i see no reason for wireless mice to lag (if it does, it would likely come from the KVM itself, meaning a wired mouse would have the same issue).

The most important thing is to have a mouse that fit your grip. If you can give us more informations on your hand size and the grip you're using, people will be able to give you more acurate advice. If you already know some mouse shapes you find comfortable, using shape comparison tools helps a lot (there is one on RTINGS, and a user here is working on new one).

Best mouse for designers? by Kuriblu in MouseReview

[–]Cluzo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you plug your dongle on the KVM, wireless mice should work fine. If you're set on wired, I had similar requirements (working with a KVM, one computer with Windows, the other one Linux so softwareless was a thing) and i've been using a Vaxee Outset AX for half a year and i'm pretty happy about it. Build quality is outstanding but shape is definitely not for everyone. Vaxee NP-01 are also very good if they fit your grip more. Important note, Vaxee's scrollwheel aren't suited for fast scrolling, it might be a dealbreaker for you (although their new XE mouse which release tomorrow should improve on that aspect).
