Are you solo? Cleric is much easier to understand but also has healing and buffs so learning the game is less punishing. You will not learn the fundamentals of the game as Druid.

Normals brackets

No HR brackets

High bracket should start closer to 200, its too easy to get 125 with a simple green weapon or two
>>
>>1348618
no way they have the time/resources to actually do that. they still have to do 3(?) more classes and 4.5(?) more maps minimum. 1 of each takes them like 3 months. the ceo said he'd love to redo all the assets but with all the legal shit eating millions of dollars I doubt it will happen.

That's why I said as soon as the devs get their shit together.

Sorcerer, Monk, Paladin, Artificer, And Necromancer.

1 of each takes them like 3 months.
>There was an interview done. Might have been onepegs I'm not sure, but I think the dev said the class guy was hospitalized, so druid took way longer than expected. Sorc might take longer because they have recode hands or something. After that it should be smooth releases.
>>
>>1346996
The easiest class to learn the game on is cleric.
>>1347032
Druid is one of the top 2-3 hardest classes there are in the game. You're honestly better off starting as just about anyone else other than Druid, Bard, and maybe Wizard

>Sorcerer, Monk, Paladin, Artificer, And Necromancer.
Is the Monk coming before the crusader?
>class guy was hospitalized, so druid took way longer than expected
Druid took long because they were implimenting shapeshifting. Thats why the warlock got blood pact before druid came out. Also they are reworking hands now, so the sorc may take just as long as the druid

is this how it actually is or are you just making a suggestion

cleric is paladin, otherwise they need to tone down the cleric by a fuckton to make an actual paladin

>>1347017
good taste
>>

cleric is gay and op, tell him to go warlock because you get infinite magics, I think that's better for new players to learn a curse build

probably toxic to play against but I wouldn't know as I'm a warlock
>>
>>1349206
>cleric is paladin
they've admitted already that sorcerer will get wizard spells. It only makes sense that Paladin borrows from Cleric.
>>
>>1349289
I highly doubt they'll give paladin a spellbook, he'll get smite and judgement and more combat oriented perks

I'm assuming they'll give sorc spell cooldown instead of resting for spells, and element focused perks

the only logical thing to do with cleric is take away smite and judgement, otherwise it's just an unbalanced mess, with the sorc/wizard comparison you'd trade off burst damage for sustain

you're gonna get constantly reamed by rogues but otherwise very good if you know how to play the class
>>
>>1349697
Every time they return to the center of their room, their HP resets to full, and they return to the center like that any time there's no one inside their room to fight.
So even if you were to run in and shoot/hit them and run out again, you'd never make any progress. Shooting from entirely outside the room, their HP will never decrease.

idk what servers you guys are playing where you complain about not getting enough PvP, goblin caves normals in high gear bracket is a moshpit
>>
>>1349755
Guess I’ll have to play caves. The other maps are more dead, sad!
>>
>>1349756
Ice cavern has no loot and too many mobs nobody wants to deal with. In <25 most often you see like 8 PvE deaths in first 3 minutes.
Crypts are too big and it's hard to meet anyone, and your best chances of meeting someone is getting ambushed by a rogue with really high patience or getting assaulted by a really dedicated druid who checks entire map for players
Only goblin caves have okay mob density and points of interest where all players go to.
Btw I was wondering why is there a lot of pvp happening around Cyclops, I thought it doesn't drop anything
>>
>>1349721
>getting there takes forever
Are you fighting all the mobs or something? That's a mistake, you shouldn't be. Just run from room to room directly to the troll room.
To prevent the goblins from catching you, bait a swing from the one in the lead and then run straight to the door. You'll have time to open it just before he gets to you. When he does get to you, bait a second swing. That'll give you plenty of time to close it in his face.
Or just play warlock (which you should be anyway, for boss farming) and Hellfire all the doors down. You'll be able to lose your mob train in the goblin town since mobs aren't capable of walking off ledges.
>>
>>1349755
>goblin caves normals in high gear bracket is a moshpit
I play in this exact bracket, even using druid so I can just mousejump from room to room ignoring all mobs and loot, and I still see like 2-3 people per game at most.

I think either holding crouch or spamming crouch during the magic missile volleys might've made you a slightly harder target, or at least made it harder for them to attack your head.
>>
>>1349777
Thanks ill try more crypts
>>
>>1349781
fireball is very good for cc since it can knock enemies back so aim for their feet rather than go for direct shots
don't trade with your magic missile if you don't have the health for it, would have been better for you and the bard to back off and reposition or reset the fight entirely
everything else is game sense, which you will acquire as you play the game
>>
What's up with Wizards?
Whenever I see them in my noob games they tend to get ganked without putting up much of a fight.
>>
>>1349816
it's the highest skill cap class in the game so it naturally filters newer players who want to be le shadow wizard money gang
wizard also requires a lot of gear to be effective, and even then they will die to rogue ambushes constantly

Gotta find a team so you can survive and escape a little easier

Seconding this question. Any confirmation from devs? This suspiciously sounds like baiting for more free kills to feed the bloodlust of the fully kitted pvp gank squads.
>>
>>1349785
You did pretty well! It seemed like you panicked with those fireballs though. Try leading your lightning strikes a little more since they take a second to strike once cast. Magic Missile is always risky, especially when your enemies are so close like that, plus they're easily dodged in wider rooms. Maybe try replacing MM or Chain Lightning with Zap? It's hit scan instead of a projectile with a fast casting time, and can really save your ass in a pinch. Better luck on the next one!

I see more commonly folks killing only a few lights in a corner and leaving the rest on so it looks safe, especially for group escapes. Would definitely find a completely dark and silent (no mobs) room extremely sus and would either look for another escape or throw a torch in and get ready for pvp.
>>

Is there any pve content in normal that cant be done in base grays and skill? Recently did Inferno and managed to get rubysilver ore and kill centaur. Seems to be the best bracket to actually learn the game since pvp gankers can’t outgear you. I swear that some of them are using ESP or similar cheats to wipe lobbies occasionally though…
>>
>>1349853
I will never understand how can people play a dungeon crawler with inventory full of bandages, pots and drums. There are better pvp games. It just doesn't make sense if you aren't interested in looting.

>>
>>1349919
dungeonborne only saying this to get /vm/'s take on it, i very much enjoy DaD and think DB is a shameless knockoff
>>
>>1349904
I don't know the mechanics of all the bosses, but my guess is no, there's no insurmountable content.
As far as I know, there are no attacks that can't be dodged, meaning if you know an enemy's patterns well enough and don't pull too many at a time, you can complete any content without taking damage, meaning you can complete it in gray gear, theoretically.
>>
>>1349927
I tried the Dungeonborne demo during Next Fest last year and I hated it. The movement felt even slower than DaD and playing as a wizard, it felt way more restrictive than even DaD's wizard. You literally only got two spells and one of them was more of a spell-like ability like Intense Focus.

I can't believe how much easier it is to dodge goblin archers than goblin bola slingers.

>>1349919
Why do you need it to be extraction game if you're only interested in fights?
Why would you need it to be fantasy?
There's like chivalry and mordhau and mount&blade and then some
You limit the request to match dad specifically but you ignore all aspects of the game other than throwing thins at players anyway
>>
>>1349933
You're limited by a timer though. Equipped bonk wizard can 2 hit a skeleton with the staff and in grey gear it will take like 5 hits. You simply don't have time to do the content.
>>
>>1349962
>Why do you need it to be extraction game if you're only interested in fights?
Threat of there being something to actually lose in a fight aside from just the satisfaction of winning.
>Why would you need it to be fantasy?
I like magic and I like playing magic users. Pure martials are the least interesting classes to me.
Note that I'm not the bard anon. I'm just another person who plays DaD despite not really being interested in the looting aspect (besides facilitating more/better PvP) or the PvE aspect.
>>
>>1349963
You can't clear out the whole dungeon, but are there any bosses whose health is simply so high that even if a gray wizard rushed him roundstart, he wouldn't have enough time to finish the kill?
And even if so, that could still be more of a class restriction than a gear one. Can a gray fighter or barbarian solo any boss within the time limit?
>>
>>1349851
>>1349859
I'm 99% sure there's a 25-124 "middle" tier of sorts.
Every single person I see is rocking greens and and a couple blues at most. Try it yourself and inspect equipment on other people if you don't believe me.

Now all you do is wait till you hear someone and then sneak up on them from behind and stab them to death after popping both of your skills.
It's a skill based play style as your ability to sneak up on players is dependant on your approach strategies.

Here’s to hoping you can actually get something out of arena instead of just hr rank. Hopefully you can bring gear

If I had to guess the plan is probably gonna be turn the dungeon into a get loot and gold then you go to the arena in full loot to get leaderboard rank fun points. The thought of going into arena for rank makes me feel pretty ill since all I can imagine happening is it turning into the best players in overkited shit annihilating everyone else. At least in the dungeon if you see some turbo geared fucks you can try to avoid them or third man them or something. But we shall see and it will at least be interesting as a novelty.

Maybe. You can still pvp in there but I doubt there would be as many ultra geared retards in there. Maybe. Also in a way it would kinda fix the whole people want a pve vs pvp playerbase divide. So many people just wanna dungeon delve and kill skellies before being wiped by a lone normal axeman. Then theres the people that dodge every module rushing spawns to 2 tap timmies. Its a I guess we will see thing I have no idea what these retards will actually do but im sure it will be the worst possible option.

if you're a rogue with the poisoned weapon / rupture perk then your hand crossbows will apply the poison ticks. Otherwise no

In terms of minibosses you can learn their attack patterns and where to duck dodge / move for all the attacks. Or if you're able to, use a shield to block incoming attacks then attack when you have the window

Poison stacks up to 5 times, and the damage scales on Will and magic damage so the more will/magic damage gear you have the more damage it will do. Rogue starts with a -25% magic damage bonus so you have to hit multiple times for the poison to take effect.

Legit question but say your a barb or something and the opponent is a very fast ranger or something that refuses to let you get within a mile of them. What do you do besides morph into a francesca throwing main like its weird I feel like if people just avoided ever getting near a barb or whatever then you would never lose the fight. I suppose there are also ambushes and the like.

You try to bait your opponents into chasing you, running back where you place the traps down. Placing traps in tight corners, entrances or inside mob corpse works fine. You can also be a bitch and make floating traps by placing them on arrows you shot.

What are good bard songs for solo?
I tried this for a first time, kinda get overwhelmed by shitty controls and requirement to switch both instrument and music. And I like rhythm games so music speeding up on good execution kinda puts me off.
But I enjoyed my first trip to ice caverns and even almost won vs level 56 warlock as level 1 bard, should've thrown a drum at him, but I'm inexperienced. Also forgot to cast ballad of courage even once.
>>
>>1350589
beats of alacrity, rousing rhythm, ballad of courage, shriek of weakness and aria of alacrity.
You can run dissonance if you see more casters or pick up 10 spell for extra utility
>>
>>1350608
Is allegro bad? Seems like it's the best buff for pvp but it takes so long to cast it 3 times and duration is short so you need to cast it right before engagement. So I guess it's only good in parties?

Why are you using a crystal ball with no secondary weapon? If you don't need the dual-wield, a spellbook has more magic damage for an equivalent rarity and has less movespeed penalty than the crystal ball.

Unironically, you must have been missing your shots. I tested just now and a kited goblin dies in three Hellfires, and a stationary goblin mage dies in literally one, with base gear.
Hellfire is strongest against enemies with large hitboxes and/or who are stationary, because it ensures they stay within the damaging area longer. However, it can even be useful against kited enemies because of the decent size of the projectile and the fact that it passes through everything. It might take three Hellfires to bring down a goblin, but you can hit like 4 or 5 goblins with each Hellfire because they always run straight for you.
How long would Curse of Pain have taken to kill those three goblins and the mage? Or Bolt of Darkness?
The fact that you got hit by them while casting is literally a skill issue.
>>
>>1350608
How much of a difference does 8% action speed and 10 physical power really make? I mean obviously a buff is better than no buff, but I'd have to replace Lament of Languor and Unchained Harmony.
I'd prefer to just go 10 spell, except I can't do that in gray gear.

You should be able to banish their soul heart on sacrifice tables if you're not on their team. Which would give solo players a way to complete quests that involve the tables, and might encourage more PVP instead of just running away in teams.

although movement speed is important as a caster, it should also be noted that the cast animation on crystal ball is a bit longer than the spellbook, which is another reason it's inferior if you're not using a melee in the main hand

Once an item is brought into the dungeon it's tag is changed to "Handled" which are normally not accepted for quests (Except for golden keys / ingots / copperlight shift). Some gear becomes looted when you take it off a dead enemy, but it's not the case for most quest items (Leather caps will still work this way)

Full list of every quest. There are a couple on the list that have been changed or removed, but it's 95% accurate.
The list of just the needed items is at the very top.

It'll consume a lot of stash space, but if you start saving the random junk you come across for quests instead of selling it to the collector for pennies, it'll save you a headache in the future. Especially if you also want to complete the quests on other characters.
I'd say the most important things to save are exquisite bangles, enchanted dark cloth, leather caps, rare weapons, golden teeth, spider silk, goblin ears, campfires, and mimic teeth. But save everything, if you've got the space for it. Hell, if you're on legendary create a character just to be a quest item mule.

The change they made recently where druids can jump while channeling wildshape made ratjumping so, so much easier. I almost never fuck it up now.

Are potions of luck additive? Three small potions would provide slightly more total luck for the same price than one large potion, if so.
But that would also mean a person could just drink as many as they wanted and get thousands of luck. Does the stat have diminishing returns?

>>1351866
After they kill you and they don't attack esch other while both parties looting ur body in close proximity you can record that and get them temp banned then perma if repeat offense if you're petty.

Any retard here who says this is false never reported anyone

And no. First luck potion you drink gives you the permanent luck buff for the rest of the session that doesn't get overridden or added on to by additional luck potions. Small ones are never worth it

It's only a small bit of prop interaction lost, which you compensate for by being able to search through chests instantly via breaking them.
And if you check the leaderboard it seems like things are working out just fine for solo Barbarian players.

Honestly it looks like developers are at least more competent in planning ahead and not trying to do something they can't implement. It will probably become a functional game before darker.
