first for

finale

just kidding

Friendly Neigbourhood Musket user here!
The new update broke down the fuckin' accessories again!
I'm here to provide an update

mega.nz/#!Y6x3UDAa!mSRRcXUAWBP-66wD3msXqqH4vqxxaH2YBBO0Zm9jBfA

>What changed
Absolutely Nothing! The new update just deleted the mod because they changed the order of some stuff, what a bunch of rascals

As a bonus, here's the old art for the Highwayman, they changed the art for something that sticks out like a sore thumb and since I saw people complaining about it, take it with you!
All you have to do is go to DarkestDungeon\heroes\highwayman and replace it

I'm including it on the musketeer mod in a separate folder

Please update te OP next time!
Bugs and anyting special please tell me

Am I good at the game yet?

Is there a way to get crimson court trinkets outside of finishing crimson quests?

Is a Flagellant with Slugger good? How is he supposed to be played?

he has pretty low base damage so it doesn't mean much. His damage is mostly just in bleeds

Speed bleed chance and max health seems to be the way to go

It's not terrible but not worth locking in. Accuracy is good, speed is good, toughness and dodge, deathblow resistance

>lost three heroes today to crit putting them down to death doors and dots killing them on the first tick
Death's door being a single roll is a shit mechanic. While I'm complaining virtue is a shit mechanic too for similar reasons.

I just started getting into Darkest Dungeon, is this a good drop from a secret room?

its okay

So if i used your musketeer from a few days ago i have to download this again so the CC trinkets work right ?

nth for Dismas and Reynauld being best buds and slaying monsters.

nah, drop it.
Focus on getting as much crests as you can

It's great

What the fuck is up with Vestal's dlc trinkets

does row 2 vestal actually work?

It's okay.

I always try my hardest to keep them both alive, whoever dismiss Reynauld instead of curing him should be executed

So the Musketeer is a class variation of the Arbalest that is functionally identical but cosmetically different; what other variants would you like to see for remaining classes?

A fancy gentlemen duelist version of the highwayman.

werewolf abonimation

hand to hand / punching based leper

slutty girl flaggelant

Do I lose out on town events because of maddening whine?

Male Berserker (Hellion) who dual wields axes.

Note: actual spoilers

R8 my first foray into the morbid entertainment quest.

In hindsight, I should have thought about the croc before doing the point blank strat.

Melee HWM or ranged?

how do you keep yourself calm when your healer won't come on, guys?

Orthodox Jew Antiquarian

...

Bounty Hunter turned into an Executioner. Instead of hooks to drag it would be a lasso.

So how exactly do I know if the Musketeer is in my game? I downloaded the mod that turns her into a separate class, got the assets in, and am visibly subscribed to the Steam workshop page, and I haven't see a trace of her yet

>What the fuck is up with Vestal's dlc trinkets
Well I believe the theme is that she really wants dick, but she's a vestal so she can't have it.

As for the stats on the trinkets, looks retarded since she can only melee from the front and can only stun from the back.

>does row 2 vestal actually work?
As long as you make sure to have a Profane Scroll and another person to either guard or target heal.

I already got the achievement, so I've got no reason to keep that thieving bastard around.

melee

She's good at undead destruction.

Can the Flagellant's heals sustain a team, or do you also need to pack a Vestal/Occultist?

how do I git gud at this game? where can I find some good team setups and not spoil myself on anything?

Depends on a bunch of shit. Two HWM with point blank shot and an 8 speed difference is fun.

I run half and half. Duelists advance along with wicked slice coupled with pistol shot and point blank shot. Gives him access to his powerful point blank shot and counter attack while giving him enough coverage for positions to hit and giving you more of a choice if you want to shuffle or not.

Well what has been your problem so far?

Since he needs to be low hp to heal I'd say it's unreliable
Pair him up with an antiquarian and use protect me to improve your chances of having him get hurt

it can work, you need to keep juggling his health with reclaim and/or suffer. try to pair him with a pd, and heroes that can self sustain like the leper.

>dismas uses duelist's advance
>collected highwayman tries to hit it
>Dismas dodges it
>crit riposte
He's THE highwayman

>Go into champion croc well prepared
>On the first turn he crits my houndmaster for more than his HP with tooth rake, bleeds him and deathblows him before I can do anything

O-okay

What's a good strat for champion croc?

>Dungeons all high infestation
>No bugs showing up
>Can't kill Countess

arbalist/occultist/houndmaster/bounty hunter
make sure to give arbalist&occultist move-resist trinkets, you don't want croc to pull them front. Give stun chance increasing trinkets to houndmaster and stun his ass whenever you can. Just mark its ass and hope for the best

Does mark work okay against him with two actions per round?

yeah, since your entire party can mark him.

>crit hit for 20+
>death's door
>applied bleed
>their turn next
>death blow
fuggg

i looked up a map for countess and saw you needed to kill her to get the key for the last 2 treasure rooms, does that mean i can come back after i kill her for this run or am i supposed to do all that shit while half dead and afflicted from her?

The latter. If you leave the dungeon that's it.

his heals are unreliable but extremely powerful.

It's like the occultist's heal but without the RNG

are you the one making her a separate class too

jesus christ

my flagellant has been bouncing between heart attack to deaths door -> exanguinate to half health like 6 turns in a row. This is ridiculous

So, you're playing him correctly?

that's their thing, that's why you stack death blow res

i had 93% on mine with just a single trinket and single quirk

the countess is for_____

I always use ranged since I run HWM at position 2 and 3

>93%
deathblow resist caps out around 87% I think, anything above isn't counted

>tfw had to abandon bandit raid quest
>went in with all level 6s
>man at arms
>occultist
>plague doctor
>arbalest
>got almost killed in second fight
>had to leave occultist behind to delay bandits
Rest in peace.

How do I git gud at level 5 and 6 quests?

Should I use the trinket overhaul project mod? It looks interesting and apparently the devs want modders to do the trinket balance for them, and they pointed to that one

I'm going to fight my first shrieker.
Am I in for possible deathblows or should this be ok? It's a red quest.

stuns, guard, ripostes, reminding yourself

Vvulf is pretty dicey. You have to utilize the easier fights in between the harder fights to heal up. It is just hard enough to get to Vvulf, when you actually get to him he will shit on you.

are there anything good in those rooms
if they arent the cc trinket treasure chests it isnt worth it for me

went with a slightly different setup but it worked well!

Two key words:
Strategy
Humility

looks like it was removed from the workshop

>+max health
>DD bonuses
>low health bonuses (it makes his low HP state more worthwhile)
>+bleed chance
All the base worthwhile quirks like prot +10 or evasive are always welcomed. The only things you need to prioritize are max health and bleed chance while other things like +dmg or +spd don't really count as much compared to the other classes.

Instead of arby bring leper for bulk. He can self heal and buff his own damage. Vulvf doesn't get a prot boost from guarding so leper just chops a front row bandit to hit him. PD sounds good but I brought HM for the mark that occultist may use when he isn't spamming damage debuff

Fuck long champion weald quests.

>start new campaign
>vestal and pd both have klepto

even worse

How to get Baron's invite?

high infestation levels must be reached before invitations are possible.

after a while, you'll get crimson court enemies in other dungeons. These will sometimes come with little dudes with invitations. If you kill them, you can take the invitation

The infestation has to get to a certain point though.

High infestation, kill gatekeepers on quests.

Is Tracking shot not worth opening with for HWM?

nah

Unless it's a really long fight, save it for finishing off a weakened enemy

What are your thoughts on new finale?

So the double Occultist strategy for champion croc worked decently. Since my Hellion was the only damage dealer the fight dragged on for way too long, making stress a much bigger issue than damage. The only time apex predator made me really hurt was near the end of the fight, when I stopped using weakening curses in favor of rushing down what little HP he had left before everyone got heart attacks. I'm pretty satisfied with how the fight went overall, though.

Annoying to use, not really feeling it is strong enough to make it worth it either, too risky and too many drawbacks.

You could've brought a leper with intimidate instead of a 2nd occultist

Why isn't tracking shot viable?

because you are sacrificing a 100% attack to get a couple of 118% attacks. Again, only really worth it against bosses

Usually just using another attack is better than using a buff. However in longer fights tracking shot is great, as the bonus accuracy and crit are very nice and the crit really adds up over time.

Its really just making efficient use of your turns. Buffing to deal a tiny bit more damage next turn is worse than dealing 2x the damage in the same amount of time.

It's just not quite enough of a buff to justify not killing something round one.

It's better to get the kills out of the way early, rather than build up to it, unless it's a really long (boss) fight

Tracking Shot is more or a less a "replace one of your other skills right before fighting the boss" ability.

It wouldn't work. Leper can only use intimidate in position one, and the fight's filled with shuffles. If he got sent to the back, he'd be completely useless. On the other hand, the Occultists can curse from any position.

if only you could increase your resistance to movement somehow

You'd have to equip everyone with those trinkets then sacrificing either speed, stun, damage, and so on.

>antiquarian guard lasts two rounds
>only ever use that move on her turn
>somehow it keeps running out and she keeps getting hit
??????????????????????????????????????????????

Ok /dadg/, suppose you had an awful day at work/NEETing around and you decide to destress by playing darkest dungeon (terrible idea). One dizzying blow to body and brain after another, you work yourself up to the point where your resolve is tested. What affliction do you get and what virtue would you get otherwise?

You'd need to do that for position 2, 3, and 4 to counter the teeth rakes. It would also take up trinket slots, which you need filled with other things to consistently debuff the boss.

lol
