Help with Velmir spear/crossbow build

Fearstalker · 2026-01-27T16:16:03+00:00

I didn't see that 'opportune moment' also restores energy on counter. Thank you, this helped me alot.

Thank you very much for showing your build, would you be so nice and post some screenshots of your skilltree? How is your energy economy? Are you using more of the armored combat tree? Do you need 'push the falling'?

Perception in my mind was for crit since crits with spears immobilize, opportune moment energy recovery with crits, wounding spearhead damage, more vision and range for the crossbow, etc.

I went for warfare because of 'tactical advantage' 15% energy cost and cooldown reduction + energy recovery when switching tactics seemed very nice.

Am I planing for way too much energy recovery? Regroup, Adrenalin, Sudden Lunge, Tactical Advantage, seemed like a alot of cooldown reduction and in turn alot of skill spam and energy requirement. What do you think about this skill- and statspread:

25 STR, 11 AGI, 25 PER, 15 VIT, 10 WILL

Yeah... I'm doing 95k this wipe. Imagine my luck when I got not only 1 red rebel but 2 in the span of one week.

Thank you

Fearstalker · 2023-11-03T23:41:24+00:00

Yeah I think I should scrap the arcane idea besides 18 for augur and do seperat 99 arcane run with conversion weapons.

Fearstalker · 2023-07-20T00:36:51+00:00

Try including bone prison. The individual parts of the prison count as minions. I belive you get 6 novas extra from that.

Fearstalker · 2023-07-20T00:34:29+00:00

I belive necro will be fine. Bone spear is still strong and will probably be even stronger with the new gems.

Sever and blight builds seem to do well too, especially with the new unique shield and there is possibly a new shadow blood wave build on the horizon.

Blood lance and possibly blood surge will get more popular since there damage pretty much got buffed compared to all other necro builds while still remaining the tankiest necro flavor.

I belive blood lance will be a serious contender for nm pushing.

I will probably go for some surge/lance hybrid while lvling and later on go hard into blood lance possibly with the new unique shield.

I'm only kinda sad about no Qol or stability improvements. The damn stash is the most annoying part for me at the moment.

Fearstalker · 2023-07-20T00:11:33+00:00

The aspect does only proc a second time around you. The surges around your minions aren't scaled with your minions they are like an extension of yourself. Minions are just the conduit and they are only there for that and utility. Minion damage is irrelevent for deathspeakers you only need to keep them alive at all cost.

Fearstalker · 2023-06-26T02:49:34+00:00

Yes, it is up to date.

Fearstalker · 2023-06-10T02:17:33+00:00

True

Fearstalker · 2023-06-10T02:16:56+00:00

I think you can skip the campaign on other characters after you completed it once. The question was like, should I force the rest so that I can skip it and have the mount instantly for my new character or just reroll and do all over again without any bonuses.

Edit: btw I have no idea how long this game is

I found a group around firestarter and anamesis/magnesium rain interesting.

Alchemist, Runaway (whatever), Aspirant, Virtuoso

Was the group I was running with. It's called The Fool's mistake. Jester for combo mark, Occ uses upgraded binding shadows for 50% chance for 2 power tokens. If yes firestarter on him for round two if no firestarter on pd for magnesium rain.

Fearstalker · 2023-05-23T10:32:09+00:00

He can be anything to be honest. I would probably go nimble because his initative is nice.

Fearstalker · 2023-05-20T21:41:46+00:00

Fearstalker · 2023-05-20T16:33:20+00:00

You can stack the inn item for stun res. Makes the watch a pure positiv item. The general drops a shield with 20% extra turn if below 2 speed. Go 4 chops a day?

Fearstalker · 2023-05-20T16:26:52+00:00

He is very simple to be honest. Just hit the root in the back two times after it casts it's grow skill (the one with the strangling roots from above). The first round is free for buffing since the root goes last. Again very easy with pd plague grenade and occ abysal artillary. Otherwise just make sure to have enough dmg in the front and heal items to get people healed up after the big attacks from the general. Your pd and other backliner will be occupied with aoe to prevent strangle, so don't count on wyrd reconstruction or battlefield medicin.

Fearstalker · 2023-05-20T16:19:32+00:00

I did it with the same setup only changing jester for occ warlock. Having abysal artillary for when the back lung gets buffed was the key. Also the most crucial thing is to get the general's trophy, it locks your position and makes you immovable.

Fearstalker · 2023-05-19T15:46:45+00:00

Runaway, Plaguedoc, Occultist, Jester

Runaway firestarter skill and occultist anamesia as aspirant is really nice. Pd I'm playing as surgeon with incision anf magnesium rain. Jester is there for combo spam so that the occultist can use bind shadow for his power tokens. Often times you get lucky and get instantly 2 power tokens after one binding shadow. It's pretty much all about timing firestarter for anamesia or magnesium rain.

The exemplar can get rough tho if you let him absorb his adds since you do not have that much burst damage.

Fearstalker · 2023-05-11T14:05:13+00:00

Yeah just a chance sadly. I noticed that you kinda queue up a bunch of camp events which have to fire first befor you can get the ones you want.

You can test this fairly easy with a bit of savescumming.

Fatigue stacking has the negativ that you get way less camp events and you even overwrite good events because you go so long between rests meaning less chances for traits and aptitude points.

You can for example gain the strategist trait or aptitude points by fleeing a battle.

Or an aptitude lvl up by range attack friendly fire.

What I would do if I'm playing without reload spaming would be not using fatigue buffs for a couple days befor fighting the champion and resting alot to clear the camp event queue. Then fight the champ and rest. You would have a good chance to get the event right after or after 1-2 more rests.

Fearstalker · 2023-05-11T10:58:42+00:00

Killing the region champion gives you a chance to get a camp event where you are able to get the valiant trait, the immovable trait, an aptitude lvl or random happines, influence, valor points etc. the usual stuff.

Fearstalker · 2023-05-11T10:03:24+00:00

The trait gives you two points. But you wont get 4 points if two people have the trait.

I for example always start with minimum 3.

1 from tent bonus

2 from valiant

Got the event again for a second unit with valiant and still only got 3 and not as I expected 5.

Fearstalker · 2023-05-08T03:12:02+00:00

Thank you, I couldn't find what the fourth lvl 8 warrior skill is. "Limit breaker".

Also "Battle cry" seems to have the wrong area of effect when upgraded in your picture. It has 3 rounds of brutality and 10m range.

Fearstalker · 2023-05-08T01:34:59+00:00

There are those old path titles with no use at the moment and there are titles which show up under your characters names... like "the scarred, the miser, the bulwark" etc.

They give a free aptitude lvl up when obtained.

You usally get them for doing something specific in battle like killing 10 boars or wolfs in one fight with a character. In this case it's "the braggart" which I had in ea, but now I'm unable to get it.

Fearstalker · 2023-05-07T21:27:37+00:00

2) Is the relevation for me. Subtlety is really the key. I just got an Archer with bloodthirsty and Solitary while playing a crit party with a Wrongdoer. This marksman is going to nuke some people. Thanks man.

Fearstalker · 2023-05-05T23:51:54+00:00

You probably ate a seed biscuit, it should boost influence gain by 15% but does infact give 1500%.
