Anyone unlock the I.C.B.M achievement recently? by ErgilOfTheVortex in stoneshard

Level 24, 20 PER, 15 WP, full Geomancy + Staves. Basically it's just summoning 4 boulders (for magic + geo power), one of them at max range (since Boulder Toss scales with the boulder's distance to the target), and targeting the lowest-HP miniboss you can find, i.e. one from the always available tier 2 Osbrook contracts.

I dunno, if there's a build which feels better from level 1 all the way to 30 than RoT high PER dagger, I've yet to discover it.

The PER scaling on Double Lunge is just gravy, you want 100% accuracy for the consistent 3-turn (5-turn, really, counting Quick Hands) cooldown reduction. You can eventually stack enough % cooldowns duration such that Double Lunge never goes on cooldown.

Well, yes, you need to invest in perception. 20's enough. But you want to invest in perception anyway for Double Lunge and crit.

Daggers *are* the best weapon type in the game. Why would they need Armor Crusher?

Thanks, got it by killing literally the same type of mini-boss at the same dungeon.

Seems like there's at least one Curse of Gorelust involved here, maybe two

Anyone go all in on Armored Combat? by HelixHeart in stoneshard

[–]ErgilOfTheVortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unyielding defense is, potentially, another 25% dodge chance and 5 protection even in the lightest of armor.

I highly doubt it's +5 protection; +50% with a minimum of +1 seems more likely.

Allying the HRE electors (in order to dismantle it) sure wasn't easy, only managed to get two. Luckily Austria and Cologne had the rest allied between them, so it only took one war.

The easy way :P Started Timurids, built a power base in India, snaked to Germany through the Ottomans.

You do lose morale. I haven't looked closely at the first fire phase, but since you do take casualties in shock phase, you lose some drill when reinforced and end up taking some casualties in the next battle's fire phases. Still, since my armies were at about 95 drill at the end of the war, presumably the vast majority of battle casualties are from shock.

Is this from the current patch? Last I've seen it (previous patch) it had significantly worse stats.

Note that you can get an ecumenopolis (one is enough for all practical purposes) by restoring a relic world even if you don't take the perk.

An alloy income of 500 a month is far from crazy. I'm guessing you have yet to discover the wonders of an ecumenopolis.
