/dadg/ - Darkest Dungeon General

Bring Arbalest and spam Flare.

Bring Occultist and spam Weakening Curse.

Bring Bounty Hunter and Houndmaster, mark with one, Collect Bounty/Hounds Rush with the other.

>Heals have a fixed 10% CRT chance
I have played the game on and off for a year and never knew about this. Game is amazing but theres just too much shit thats never explained.

don't attack wilbur, bring an occultist that will spam weakening curse. If you want to bring an arbalest, give her rallying flare to remove marks, or just bring a second occultist who also spams weakening curse. He will literally be dealing like 0-4 damage with each attack.

Attack him with your heroes until his hp drop to 0

Occultist, Arby, BH, Leper. Debuff his damage and mark him, and clear your party's marks with Arby. Kill Wilbur last.

To be more exact, the CRT chance of all single target heals (except self-heals) is 12%.

The chance of AoE and self heals is 5%.

>have only ancestor's map and tentacle idol remaining, both shambler drops
>no shambler portal for almost 10 missions already
>don't want to risk pitch black runs as most of my heroes are level 6, enemies shit out crits on pitch black champion runs
what a terrible predicament

send a crew of expendable heroes

So is Warrens less kick-your-ass tier now? In the past I would try to avoid it, and I wouldn't recruit for an 'ideal' Warrens party.

*skewers your shit*

Fuck, I meant Weald, not Warrens. The combination of giant and virago is too much

Is there any place where I can read about if the dev know about bugs/what they are going to fix next?

Why was Red Hook thinking!?
This meme hero is literally worthless. "hurr durr made for grinding" fuck that. I want a USABLE hero, a hero I can take into dungeons and do some fucking work.

A mark team is ideal for the swine. More specifically as the others said; arbalest, occultist, houndmaster and bounty hunter in that order. To weaken him, have arby go first every time to either mark/fire and use flare whenever the swine gets a stun on your party. Occultist should spam his weaken debuff so his dmg turns to zero, he should mark whenever arby is preoccupied. BH and HM are your main DPS to bank in the marks with attacks. Only target wilbur after the swine king is dead.

Warrens is the second easiest next to ruins because the classes that shine there tend to be reliable (bounty hunter and hound master with both having bonuses against swinefolk and being god tier classes). So long as you can deal with bleed, diseases and stun then it's a all-around fun time.

>lose only jester to shrieker
>alt-f4 to rage-quit
>start playing the game after some minutes
>save is from right before he got hit
>he survives the death's door

All the more reason to stack surprise chance to 65% and focus him down turn 1.

>tfw arbalest 1-hit crit his ass

Weald is one of the tougher dungeons still. Virago's still a dodgy cunt and the giant still shuffles your party and ohko heroes. Flag can help you here through since he can take off marks and DoT off your team plus bleed fungal enemies.

I know, I meant Weald. I run 3 HM, and used to be an Abom, but now I'm pumped to give Flagellant a go.

She works just fine though.

Why don't you make it viable yourself then ?

Virago is ok if you have plenty of herbs and antivenom or a PD. She's mostly an annoyance if you can avoid leaving corpses to spawn shrooms and manage her blight and debuffs. Killing the giant should be the priority otherwise he'll keep shuffling your party or one shotting your frontline to death's door

You shouldn't have money problems to begin with though. The fact that a entire hero is built around being a weak jew is just dumb.

>the giant still shuffles
Not much of an iisue when he's the only one left. You can keep him stunned until everything else is dead.

>ohko heroes
His branch can only target ranks 1/2. Take a Houndmaster, give him DODGE trinkets, put him in rank 1/2 and make him guard the other rank. That way your DODGE can quickly reach 100+ and the branch has only 97.5% ACC in Champion.

MaA also works, but DODGE>PROT in this case.

Having more money means I can focus on getting more heirlooms instead. It's a profit no matter how you look at it.

Does it hit too close to home?
I dont understand your problem.

I prefer MaA in Weald because HM's guard lasts only one round and can't do anything but guard spam whereas MaA can still attack and riposte and at worst he'll get hit for a whopping 12dmg

Is Occultist/Graverobber/Abomination/Abomination viable for DD3?

Problem is that the limited resources the company got was focused on a meme hero

>I prefer MaA in Weald because HM's guard lasts only one round and can't do anything but guard spam
This is true but HM guard is much more situational, it's not supposed to be used as often as MaA guard. Your HH doesn't really need to do anything else once the Giant is the only enemy left.

>MaA can still attack and riposte and at worst he'll get hit for a whopping 12dmg
DODGE will make you take less DMG in the long run. It will also prevent stress from getting hit by a crit. This stuff adds up.

>limited resources the company got was focused on a meme hero
>limited resources
What are you talking about? Do you have a stress affliction?

First time I did it with pd occ abo hellion, pd went hopeless and killed herself, hellion went selfish, I decided fuck it and abandoned, losing the hellion in the process.

Second time I did vestal pd leper hellion with much better success. Your comp will have trouble killing the white cell if your GR doesn't crit reliably on her dagger, which will set you back some and your comp doesn't have particularly good camping stress healers as well. Overall I'd say it's suboptimal and you should change your GR for a PD because the mammoth cysts can move twice so DoTs will be very effective

>Is Abomination viable?
there are better alternatives

i ALWAYS bring a jester to Weald so i couldn't care less about the stress. I finish medium/long missions with 0 stress, regardless of crit branches. It's more of a personal choice i'd say and after having dozens of Weald runs out of boredom, i'm just a MaA guy.

put her and flag on first two rows and guard for dank memes

I got reynald and dismas to level 5.
How can I make sure they stay alive so I get the achievement?

Don't take them out.

all they need to do is enter DD4 to get the achievement, so at this point just don't use them until then.

>all they need to do is enter DD4 to get the achievement
They need to survive it.

no they do not

L-lewd..

Right, I checked and they indeed only need to embark there.

>the dark souls reskin mod is actual reality and not just fanart
THE MODS, I MUST HAVE THE MODS

>no Alva armor though

>those skinpacks

I love the Alfred skin for the BH. Is perfect for the Courtyard

What's your favorite trinket, /dadg/?

Ancestor's Lantern.

sun ring

whichever one the bird doesnt steal

...

Plague Doctor trinkets, all of them are quite good and I dare to said she got the best class trinkets in the game.

For other trinkets this

wel fug :-D

...

FUCK

if I abandon a mission do the quests change?

sun ring probably

aren't those guys hung in the back totally still alive

Christ what the fuck is this

I lost my main group not even 30min ago to this guy. Everything was going fine and you figure out his gimmick really early. Then he just crit every single action for 2 turns straight and nobody survived a single Death Blow check.

it's possible that the game doesn't go forward a week if you retreat too soon, i'm not sure how soon is too soon tho

was easier than the baron imo

Crescendo box.

Well time to beat all champion bosses before i get high infection rate and invites from the countess then

I've seen this drop one time since it became a thing. then it got 'lost' in the Tavern and never dropped again. OH, but the Aria Box? Every playthrough within the first 20 weeks guaranfuckingteed.

i have 160hr in Darkest Dungeon and i haven't got a single music box trinket

Tell me how much of a pussy i am for disabling CC with a mod

Delete your save
Uninstall steam
Go to church
Settle down
Become a family man

thx user, remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer

Darkest Dungeon is the PERFECT platform for churning out more DLC that is still gonna be enjoyable 10 years from now.

>gameplay is pretty much established
>game world allows for easy exploration of more themes set in the same world

JUNGLE WORLD
>the Ancestor's jungle expedition: coastlines where the explorers landed, deep jungles, maya temples, caves
>Diablo II act 2 style jungle monsters with blowguns, torches and tiki shit, jungle fanatatics, huge mosquitoes, other explorers gone mad, tigers, gorillas etc
>torches would be useful again
>base is a small jungle village with jungle people, new heroes arrive by boat
>can be attacked by vietcong style rebels
>IT AINT ME starts playing

DESERT WORLD
>Ancestor's desert expedition: Morocco style desert cities, wide sand dunes, deserts (day/night), oases, sand-monster underground saves, spooky pyramids
>huge scarab monsters, snakes, sand-dwellers, dervish style creatures, British safari style colonialists gone mad
>possible dehydration mechanic

NORTHERN WORLD

>frozen skellingtons, bears, frost/stone elementals, 1% chance to have bigfoot spawn, yetis, other furry monsters
>base is an alaskan settlers trapper style outpost village that you have to set up, with log cabins, mules and other shit
>possible freezing mechanic, torches also provide warmth

ASIAN THEME
>Ancestor's far east expedition: chinese cities, bamboo swamps/jungles, the great wall (literally made for a DD-level), imperial palaces with giant golden lions and dragons etc, rice fields with tiny villages in them
>imperial chinese style soldiers, suicide bombers with colorful fireworks and shit, giant ornamental cannons, tigers, samurai-style enemies, weird floaty chinese dragons, combat staff wielding apes, cranes or whatever
>base is as old temple site the ancestor wants to explore further as you progress through the missions

best team setup??

torrent for the new build when?

Also, IF Wayne June eventually decides to stop narrating, you could try finding another narrator, maybe a female one, as long as she does good voice acting (although I agree that June's voice is amazing).

HOWEVER, I think DD is over the moment that the guy who does the artwork for them decides to not work with them anymore.
Can you imagine more DD content being made in another art style? I can't and I don't know enough about drawing to understand if they could just "copy" his style and keep producing more conent.

Dear Red Hook, PLEASE create DLC stuff that explores more themes, even those rather classical themes I mentioned. Darkest Dungeon is a platform where that approach would work really well and people are already hungry for new content.

Posted in the last thread. Look for it.

Candle and map.

I just realised something after playing Crimson Cock, Hellion's damage isn't that great actually. She deals on average 15 dmg with basic attack may seems to be a decent number, but HWM deals 15-16 damage with wicked slice, and HW dealing 12 'fast' damage and 16 in total after 3 rounds. Then BH for some reason deals 14 fucking damage, while doing more to humans and insane damage on mark same as HM. I don't get it, am I retarded? Why she deals same or a tiny bit more damage if she is logically a damage focused hero being able to deliver it everywhere? If it bleeds deals actually same 14 instant damage on average and decent 21 but in 3 fucking rounds. Yes I said same about HM but he has best mark in the game, dodge guard, self heal and stress heal. Bleed out is actually decent netting you around 23 instant damage and 33 in 2 more rounds. The reason why people rate so high is because of fucking dump YAWP, while her damage skills are meh. Yes she has full reach and flexibility, but you can just take HM, Arbalest if you want a good reach or BH. Red Hook should fucking nerf YAWP or remove it all together and buff her damage skills so she will be a damage dealer once again and not a stun bot.

i said torrent

IMO, 2 HWM, 1 HM and an Occ.

Combination of riposte, bleed and mark/debuff.

Well if you are going to be picky then you gotta look for it yourself.

The mega link is safe.

>retreat from the 3rd Croc to prepare
>town event that lets you bring any leveled hero to any mission comes up
>Max leveled Leper and Man At Arms just endure the Apex Predators tricks
easy

didnt mean to be an asshole

problem with mega link is that there is a limit for how much i download

as for other links, i dont have a stellar internet so if the internet is down for some reason the download will automatically restart

torrent is my best shot i am afraid

And we're back and I can guarantee it's 100% fixed because I saw it myself!
All we need now is testing to see if the effects are correct (Musketeer exclusive, gives the right starts, set bonus is correct)

mega.nz/#!1jpTGZTb!he16g_GUIYBIA7WpkdYm5M2_V7iREJdGmkHgRqlaw1c

Nobody has found those backer-only assets, so I suggest we should get an artfag to make our own. What do you guys think?

...

just now starting, should i get the DLC from the beginning? Also what, if any, mods should i use?

Wished that you used the ancestors musket art.

I would said disable the Crimson Curse but keep the Flagellant.

I'd suggest doing at least a full Radiant/normal run before buying the DLC, it's not really beginner-friendly. Either that, or, as said, just disable the CC content. About mods: there's plenty of palette swaps/skins for heroes, those might interest you. Pitch Black Dungeon is basically the Long War for DD, so avoid that until you get better at the game.
I would advise against mods that make the game "easier", but that's more of a personal preference.

I personally suggest you leave the crimson court DLC for later in the game because
>Hard Area that you can't beat early
>Mechanics that are semi-hard-hard to manage
>The town event will be spammed until you beat the first mission, eating away the opportunity for other town events
>It will make one random area not have any missions for that week

It's fine to enable districts and the flaggelant I'd say, you can always enable CC content later without damaging your save

As for mods, adding musketeer waifu can't hurt
I'll do it
I'll also swap the trophy art for this one (it's only used as a backer trinket)

A drawfag would be welcome at this point

It hurts.
