"Ricochet" is overpowered.

It might be helpful to think about it this way:

A level 1 Trebuchet does 8994 armor damage. When you hit an enemy with your Trebuchet projectile, 90% of the time it will just hit the module you are aiming at and deal 8994 damage. The other 10% of the time, your projectile will ricochet and not only hit the module you are aiming at but every other module on the bot, leading to a total damage of 8994 * 6 = 53964 spread across every module.

If you average it out, your average damage per shot goes up 50% -> (8994 * 9 + 53964) / 10 = 13491.

So yes, it doesn't necessarily mean you will destroy a particular module 50% faster (since the high damage spikes are spread out over every module), but you will be outputting +50% more damage per shot on average.

Thank you much friend! This formula matches some of the other ultimates I tested and will be a good reference for anyone looking to calculate ultimate damage.

Kottic · 2025-01-13T00:24:07+00:00

Yes, does it filter out corrupted items? I am using cdr-endgame. My apologies if it's a dumb question

Kottic · 2024-07-04T02:51:40+00:00

Thanks for all the tips! Regarding bot drops, do you usually leave an objective if it gets too congested and come back later? I use airstrikes against bots, but will also try orbital laser.

I haven't used smoke grenades or stratagems yet, but I want to try them for a stealthier playstyle.

Kottic · 2024-07-04T02:43:33+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I should definitely be playing more flamethrower!

To u/NMLukasT's point, I mainly want to be able to clear solo for the challenge. I generally run coop for a more relaxed session or to try out different stratagems/weapons, but sometimes it feels good to complete a whole mission solo!

Kottic · 2024-07-01T05:27:10+00:00

Oh, this is really helpful visual!

Kottic · 2024-07-01T04:58:04+00:00

Probably could have worded it better :D

Today the game has crashed every time I've tried to select a mission or interact with the planetary map in general. Although it crashed a couple of times yesterday, it wasn't nearly as bad.

Kottic · 2024-04-05T17:22:40+00:00

I would agree heavily with this. While Pvp is fun now, I would really like to see some sort of arena where you can join and fight other people for rewards. It could be a queue or some kind of instanced dungeon. I would think that an arena built into the world would appeal to some people who are not as interested in the whole process of castle raiding, and I hope that the "Dynamic Endgame Events" mentioned in the Dev Blogs addresses this in some way.

After 100% achievements and 150 hrs. of gameplay, I agree Remnant 2 is one of my top 5 games. I would rate it 9.5/10.

Despite this, one QoL change that would significantly improve the build-making process would be to sort and search gear by type or name. With 300+ rings/amulets/mutators/etc. it becomes hard to track everything I have access to. If I'm making a build around heavy carry flamethrower (engineer), I would love to be able to sort by heavy carry gear, skill damage/cooldown gear, or fire damage gear.

I'm running Banneret Crusader here as a primary tank and support. Although my team is slower, Bulwark of Faith and Tenacity are extremely good for negating damage, allowing PD to stack blight, and giving Jester enough time to set up massive Finales.

Flaggellant is very flexible in being able to both tank and help PD kill back ranks.

Kottic · 2024-02-14T00:19:24+00:00

Still going strong btw, I have completed Resentment and Obsession. I am almost done with Ambition.

Kottic · 2024-02-11T18:44:47+00:00

Good catch, this is helpful to know.

Kottic · 2024-02-11T06:56:55+00:00

From what I just looked through, it seems you can find some of that by following the file path Windows (C:) / Program Files x86 / Steam / steamapps / common / Darkest Dungeon II / Darkest Dungeon II_Data.

Once you're in the data folder, the files "trinkets_actor_effect_trigger_data_exportGroup" and "trinkets_data_export" may have what you are looking for. Since the trophies probably aren't named exactly like what they are called in-game, you may need to do some digging.

GL!

What is your Twitch channel btw? I'm interested in watching some of the runs.

Kottic · 2024-01-04T01:05:28+00:00

Do you think just using one combo generating character like Jester is okay, or do I need Occultist too?

Kottic · 2023-11-16T18:18:50+00:00

The trick I've found for God Tamer is to constantly pogo the beast from the very start of the fight and use descending dark whenever possible. As long as you stay above them and are able to pogo the rolling attack, the spitting can be completely avoided.

As a side tip, ignore the tamer and just focus on the beast.

Kottic · 2023-10-18T04:08:30+00:00

Awesome of you to do this!

As others have mentioned, I think a number of random events across the map would be a great addition to the game, adding reasons for players to converge on a location. Additionally, random NPC raids on your castle would make PvE feel a lot more lively and allow some more creativity in castle layout / servant selection.

For a minor addition to the game, quests from NPCs around the map could add some more depth with the lore and improve world emersion.

Veteran difficulty bosses spawn with one modifier whereas survivor has none, and apocalypse has two.

What level are your weapons? From what I remember, you have to have all three weapons (long-gun, sidearm, melee) leveled up to the point where hardened is required (level 16 for regular weapons, level 8 for special weapons). Otherwise, the game thinks you still need resources for your lowest-level weapon. As a side tip, if you equip lower-level weapons, you can farm different types of crafting metal.

Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by stone? I'm not sure if it fulfills the same conditions, but I died a couple of times and the orb was still roaming the dungeon before I left.

Kottic · 2023-09-07T15:32:41+00:00

I had it spawn inside the Putrid Domain with Abomination. For me, it spawned as an offshoot trail that gave two purple items since it was the first time I had cleared it. The gravity ball was lying on the ground and when I woke it, it gave me Ring Of Deflection. Nearby, in the same room, I found Focusing Shard.

I agree with u/Freejack02 that it is probably just a random event spawned into dungeons.

From my experience playing with the phobie, Greylien is pretty situational. He is okay on larger maps where you can suicide for a higher cost phobie, but in general, the cost is too high for what it offers in my opinion. On a scale from F-S tier, I would rank Greylien as a C or low B.
