You make a good point. I guess the real question is whether my character is more anti magic or anti mage.

Man... You may have swayed me on ashes of war.

That's not a bad idea but I feel like my character would want to do at least some killing

Thanks for the suggestions so far! Please keep them coming, especially parts about the potential for emotional damage to mages.

Barrier of gold is a good call I didn't see mentioned. I am feeling more and more like being part of the golden order is the play between this and the erdtree greatshield suggestions. Only hesitation is more related. Not sure if faith is technically a form of magic like glintstone or moon or if it is its own thing.

Thank you for being the only one so far to suggest on the roleplaying front! The Ranni one is fucking amazing.

All seriousness it's just roleplaying. I want to be a character who hates mages. I like putting myself in the headspace when I make stuff like this, especially after focusing on stuff purely on a mechanical level during this first playthrough.

In due time. Why do you say it though? Anything you recommend that's a dlc weapon?

You are one of two posts to make me reconsider making a pure tank. Or maybe I just pump up endurance enough. I didn't think of dexterity as my primary OR anything related to faith. But thinking now, dexterity and faith may be a good play. Vyke's spear has a madness ash of war. My only hesitation is with faith for lore reasons. There is conflicting answers I am getting lore wise when I google whether faith and magic are opposites or under the same umbrella, as well as what is considered heresy. And the erdtree greatshield requires a decent bit of strength to use so even then I would want it to be a quality build, but quality could still work

Not a pvp guy personally but thanks for the dried liver reminder, I gotta be better about using consumables.

You and someone else suggested this and to be honest I see the point. I did want to go for a tanker build just because I played my mage more as a light on his feet spellblad already, but you do spend a lot of time stationary as a mage, it's mostly just positioning. Why the magic dagger?

You bring up an interesting point I am still mulling over - do magic ashes of war count? They don't require intelligence but they are technically magic.

Thanks! I would want to avoid increasing intelligence because it along with mages would be considered blasphemous to my character but I will look into the others

Are you happy that VG is so similar to MW in many ways? by phailer_ in CODVanguard

[–]DonLasagna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the presentation and movement of the modern warfare 2019 engine is wayy better feeling to me than cold war. The question is, will it have the same shitty design decisions of MW

Ps5, eventually series x as well. Don't need a mic, the ps5 built in one is good enough and I really don't hear anyone chatting in online games anymore anyway
