What I’m doing isn’t working. I’m at lvl 53 running SP
I enter the city and immediately I’m attacked by the various bandits and prowlers.
If I stand my ground, I’m overrun.
But if I run its worse, because they trigger aggro on ALL npc’s. So when I try to fight one or two prowlers and I want to withdraw and regroup: suddenly eight npc’s are trying to murder me.
I’ve used a thrall to help, it only prolongs the inevitable.
I’ve tried sticking to the rooftops and lobbing bombs but they don’t do nearly enough damage and have accuracy comparable to a drunken monkey flinging its own poo.
Because I’m on the PlayStation, switching weapons or activating healing items in combat is borderline suicidal, never mind if you actually need to access your inventory. Which means that if you try to capture a thrall, you usually wind up trying (and failing) to bludgeon the entire lot.
I’m running flawless Dark templar heavy armor and either an atlantean two handed sword modded for damage or a khopesh with same.
If anyone could either please tell me what I’m doing wrong or offer their own strategies that would be great.
Because I’m this close to writing off that entire damned city and thrall hunting elsewhere for tier 4.
I know the location you’re talking about. Died there a few times. You’re absolutely right about the water escape I’ve used it. What’s been happening is that I can’t kill them fast enough. I wind up needing to run and they get all their hp back.
I hadn’t thought of using sunder though. I plan on making my t4 warrior a warhammer and either augment to be lighter for more speed or heavier for more damage.
By the way, can you change a lethal weapon to non lethal with that blunt enhancement? Or put two enhancements on the same item?
“I also use alcohol to get drunk (u can also achieve the same effect by using directly 10 crimson lotus dust) and immediately set potion so i remove all debuffs . this adds +3 to strength and +3 to vitality which i find way better than tattoos as it way less costly”
This was the only thing I didn’t understand.
What is the purpose of getting drunk? The endurance buff? Doesn’t it make combat more difficult?
What potion do you use to remove all debuffs? Bleeding damage is my Bane and wraps don’t always work fast enough.
I haven’t experimented with tattoos yet but it sounds useful.
Ah, got it now. Looks like I better start construction on an altar to Set and finding a priest thrall for it. I’ve been neglecting religion in this game (aside from constructing an altar to Ymir because if its good enough for the Jotuun it’s good enough for me) because I’m not familiar with the benefits.
Good news is that I’ve got myself a t4/named armour already, so I’ve been crafting flawless armour (at least until 2.3 drops and they do away with that on console).
But I tend to craft all my gear, I don’t go hunting for a specific piece usually. Sounds like I may need to revise this strategy.
“also keep in mind that when u die both buffs from drunkenness and tattoo fade away…”
I was assuming that the drunk effects would cease upon death, but the tattoo buffs as well? I assumed that the boost was permanent given that it’s a tattoo.
So you down a yellow lotus potion, go harvesting and upon your return, you swap back to your standard array?
Do people often have multiple customised builds for various situations?
(Also the video was set to private. Couldn’t watch it)
Thanks. I watched a release video for it from wak but he didn’t mention that armour could not be repaired after the patch, just couldn’t be crafted.
Does this m that I should be prepared to remake all of my armour and hold off on creating new arno until the new quality tiers are deployed?
I’m going to have to call it quits brothers. I cannot survive the city of set until I find a tier 3 blacksmith at least and I’m max level. My weapons just don’t have the necessary punch to take down attackers quick enough to avoid being swarmed and that’s what happens every single time.
