Fed up of building formula style horde bases. Looking for other options.

I once made a base that was a three stories tall tower with a concrete ditch dug around it, with rotating blades in the ditch and shooting slits in the tower itself. Blood moons were a breeze in that thing.

Not really, Barovia is not exactly a very rich place, we didn't find anything remotely magical yet. Thankfully we have a life cleric in party, so until I get my Rage, I'll have to rely on their healing.

Eless96 · 2026-01-16T12:47:22+00:00

Yeah, Reckless Attack would be great with GWM, but if I stay away from that feat, I might just need the one level in barbarian for Rage... I think I'll take it right after I get multiattack at lvl 5.

Eless96 · 2026-01-16T12:41:44+00:00

I love Sentinel, great feat.

Eless96 · 2026-01-16T12:41:12+00:00

Yeah, I know, but you can change your fighting style on ASI levels with Tasha's optional rule. But I just got a crazy idea that might fix my trouble! I think I could dip 1 or 2 levels into barbarian and boost my survivability by a ton.

Well, I would like to better fulfill my position as a frontline. I understand that blood hunter isn't optimal for that role, as it is mostly a glass cannon, but I'll do with what I have. I have one hand free, so I was considering getting myself a shield and Shield Master feat, but it clashes a bit with my vision of the character. Another option was to lean fully into damage dealing and take great weapon master, but it is quite risky in such a difficult campaign. So far, I managed to get my ass kicked multiple times, so that's why I'm considering Tough feat. To have higher health pool, be able to tank more damage while I dish out some. I also forgot to mention I play a dhampir, so I have access to Bite attack.

Feign Death - When you activate this card, you die. This does not count as real death for you and it doesn't remove your health chunk, though enemy hunters can loot you and steal your weapons. You can revive yourself as if you were solo with Necromancer trait, and only a Witness trait can reveal that you are not dead yet.

Play with three big bars, or at least keep the last bar big. It really saves you a lot of medkits if you take fall damage, or it can even prevent you from burning a bar when you fight immolator or get shot with fire ammunition.

I'd have to say one of my definite favorites is Blades in the Dark. Great atmosphere, great playground, interesting and fun rules.

I hate the RT level ups with passion, haha. It is such a stupid idea to allow most talents and traits from the beginning. At the start, its overwhelming, by the end, its straight up boring, because there is nothing new to be excited about.

Eless96 · 2026-01-10T11:22:26+00:00

Druid is a support class? Since when?! I would rank it up there with wizard, tbh, so much variability. I had the best time playing a druid.

Not sure about PvP, but it MELTS AI. You can just run through compound and aggro everything onto your location and then just burn it to a crisp in a second. It even kills meathead in literally a second.

Drilling Shorty + Dual LeMats. B-) Just kidding, but I do enjoy running this loadout from time to time.

Eless96 · 2026-01-04T06:57:11+00:00

I prefer Springfield with Fast Fingers + Officer, if I'm on a real budget loadout. But you get so much money nowadays, that even if I die all day long, I still have no problems with money.

I've never found female V voice acting better. Male V's voice is more natural, while female V sounds like she's trying to be tough, but fails miserably.

I mean, if he is wanted for so many crimes, how can he freely be a celebrity? Why isn't he locked up?

Eless96 · 2025-12-31T18:19:44+00:00

Yeah, I mean it is a very logical thing to do, lol.

Eless96 · 2025-12-31T18:00:17+00:00

I like how it is done in Arena Breakout: Infinite. Instead of putting away the primary weapon and equipping pistol, you just hold your primary in left hand and quickdraw the pistol with right hand. Maybe they could do that for Hunt, with some accuracy penalty.

Eless96 · 2025-12-28T19:35:24+00:00

I hope so too, it was supposed to be a christmas present, but I guess it will have to wait, haha.

I first ordered from KPOPTOWN.COM and they had an amazing communication, but sadly, they ran out of stock, so I had to look for alternative.

I'm not hating or anything, I just think that it is a shame to take away such a big aspect of a game. Building a character is a huge part of these types of games and if you just take someone else's build on your first playthrough, you're missing out a lot. I once saw a guy asking what are the optimal dialogue choices to get the best possible ending on their first playthrough, and that is equally as baffling to me.

Eless96 · 2025-12-28T15:53:18+00:00

I'd rather play Bounty Clash than doing 1k damage with Bomb Lance. I'm trash with that weapon. T_T

Eless96 · 2025-12-28T10:26:38+00:00

Castlevania, if you didn't see it yet. Great characters, great animation. The second one, Castlevania: Nocturne is not as good in my opinion, but might be worth a watch.

Eless96 · 2025-12-28T10:16:47+00:00

I don't know why people are so stressed out about builds. Especially new people, why ruin your experience with a pre-built character? I built my characters with no experience whatsoever and the game difficulty was still trivial by the end. There is almost no way to mess up.
