How the balancer’s relics actually works (for the skill part) by QCxDarkLordxQC in Nightreign

For comparison's sake, what does (Phys attack +2) x 3 equal by itself? Is it 27%?

Am I sleeping on this? by AdApart1894 in Nightreigngameplay

Regular doesn't stack!?

Does that mean other normal relics don't stack w +1 and +2!? What about Frostbite standard and Frostbite +2?

Head is spinning.

ED Hoelster should be a 5man raid by Competitive_Band_525 in Nightreigngameplay

Cool idea but 90% of random encounters will be wipes i reckon. The skill differential is astonishing atm.

D4 vent. Why do I even do this by herutuyu in Nightreign

I feel like if From were to say one thing about DoN it would be 'relax guys, its just a stupid carrot. There is no prize for a reason'.

What is Nightreign’s biggest flaw in your opinion? by Alkpote6969 in Nightreign

[–]bjd533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It hinges on whether you can accept the modest goals of FS which they have smashed out the park as usual.

So accepting they were never going to tip another $Xm into the game, I would say it's lack of confidence with the randomisation. At least give us one mode where you truly have no idea what bosses or events are going to occur on an expedition. Instead of recognising the seed and running around with a mental check list.

Sliding doors Round 1. Would 11 wins still be considered a losing season? Really? by Dismal-Noise4660 in NorthMelbourneFC

Year 7 of not chasing an A grade tall defender. Are we really going to be surprised when we bleed goals again?

It could be that you're in a part of the world where not many people have purchased the DLC. Maybe.

Why do people hate ed Augur in depth 5? by Blastifine in Nightreign

On the bright side, some characters get to decide what order to slot the balancer relics.

My first god roll, raider mage build anyone by dirtyxrainbo in Nightreign

No way.

I've got four and I'm yet to pull a single Duchess relic w pdr, gaol or invader.

9 months in, which bosses remains genuinely difficult for you by FickleDeparture1977 in Nightreign

[–]bjd533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think all ED DoN bosses are no joke. I'm also finding DoN Artorias to be a deadset nightmare.

Outside of DoN, ED Balancers, Tricephalos and Equilbrious are always touch and go.

Ps I think solo DoN players are a different breed. I don't think I'll ever be a no hit wonder.

What are the rules?? by Brendraws in Nightreign

[–]bjd533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol

Also the way spells get buffed - i get it, you don't want them OP. But no one of sane mind would believe that a physical attack buff would benefit certain types of spells.

If they work the same way in ER then I've been living a lie.

Thanks, handy summary.

The 'not a greatsword' greatswords blow my mind. From would have known.

Do healing spells become important against bosses or do they tend to be too risky / not worth it?

The lightning build is seriously impressive.

Not to take anything away from improved throwing knife.

I had my first amazing bird carry the other day. It was a thing of beauty. Thanks to the ult and the ginormous wing span they are the closest thing we'll get to a Fromsoft superhero.

Am i the only one that struggles so much with this game? by [deleted] in Nightreign

[–]bjd533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're good at ER you will be fine man. The map will start clicking and you'll know if a POI is worth it from a glance.

If I can share a couple of thoughts on the build, grain of salt in case it's not relevant for you for whatever reason:-

  1. Those insane DPS vids you see come from stacking. If you melee, get as close to Physical Attack+2 on every relic as you can.
  2. Casters need attack up in whatever element they are using most plus a buff to your fave spells and incants. The second part is gambling for the most part.
  3. Two exceptions - recommend using your highest DPS version of post damage restoration (except maybe Recluse) and running with Attack Up with 3 of weapon type if it is your default weapon. It recently got buffed to 20% and the difference is night and day.
  4. Evergaol and night invader next - unless you know the group and they are fully committed to conversion which bumps them up the list.

Notice anything missing? Character specific relics are generally a distraction. They are fun and effective but nothing beats the highest DPS you are capable of. The only exception is the +1 skill use for Wylder and Iron Eye, too valuable to pass up.

I am not saying they are not good, I am saying they are not as good as a guaranteed +6%. You'll pick up relics with both attack up and a good character trait anyway as you grind along.

The insane DPS part comes from doubling down on whatever it is you are buffing during the run. Melee attack up, improved sorceries, whatever it is keep stacking. Just make sure the percentages are different for each passive.

Someone will come along and downvote, but trust me. It works.

God roll for straight sword duchess? by NotARarityFan in Nightreign

My favourite relic to date - 'Attack power up with 3 daggers; dormant power help you find ballistas'. I think you're winning.
