AD is just fine to fight as an Assassin (don't forget your Conqueror Periapts and blast arrows, if you have them ;) ). Since Ari/Castor are still so low of level, I went with the "safer" vocation, based on my build and play style. But I have killed AD with an Assassin, Ranger, Strider, MA, and MK. (Remember, I'm the gal that prefers to jump on him, and start wailing. So any vocation that allows that, works for me. LOL!)

 

Cool :D Rohan's primarily an assassin, and AD is my next goal :P And wailing on folks works when it comes to drakes, cursed dragons, and cripes, even fallen Death, so hear's hoping I have luck doing the same to AD! I'll remember to bring con periapts, although I only have a few at present since I used a lot on Mr. Ur, and um, Rohan kind of let Fat Bastard die :lol:

I'd thought Alynna had let Fournival get jailed, but after Shinon got thrown in jail for tossing people into the pig pen, I ran into Fourny in the noble quarter and bought 800 periapts. It must have been Kalethai that didn't do all the running around for those fake petitions.

 

Now to find unlimited quantities of Liquid Vim...

@Kaidan Fan - ;) Just trying to give you a prod. lol! Nicholas is doing great, so don't worry. Besides, you can always grab a couple of the "older" pawns, when venturing further into BBI. Just to get you started. And Liftstones. Let us know if you don't have any (though, it won't take you long to be inundated with them...heh!), and we can gift a few to Nicholas.

@Curious - You let ma' main squeeze die?!?!?! You monster. :lol: Well, at least Madeline sells a few Periapts, every other day. Maybe we should gift you a few. Too bad there isn't a way to gift in "bulk". Maybe Shepen are Carcharoth remember....I could have sworn there used to be a way to do that. Then again, maybe I have swiss cheese for a brain. It's possible. :wacko:

@Shepen - LOL! I honestly can not tell, what Castor is trying to do with Shinon, in that one shot. As for the Skeleton Laser shot...at least it's a different color. He was obviously not trying to be a "copycat".

Ugh Cripes I can't browse the DAI forums without Every. Single. Fraking. Thread turning into a political debate, guess the lobby is my new home away from home. 

Haven't been playing DD:DA for a while now, been working on my mage warden.

I think many of us who ended up in the lobby, have had similar experiences. LOL!

Didn't get a chance to play today either, and funny enough, I too am trying to finish up a Mage Warden as well. :P Will be back on DD:DA tomorrow. Still have loot to gift from yesterday, and want to do some farming. Might also check on the Ur-Dragon. Wouldn't mind hitting grace. I seem to be missing it a lot, over the past month.

Okay, I finally ventured a little ways into BBI last night.  Death didn't spawn in the first little courtyard thing like he has the past 3 times.  It was a cyclops.  So we cleared out that room and wandered about a bit.  I ended up in the Hall of Regret I think.  I killed some hobgoblins and skeleton things but when I got to the big doors, I chickened out.  I ended up with 4 lv. 1 novelty things and a ring.  Oh, and 3 liftstones.  Not much, but it was nice doing something different.  Leveled up to 58.  At one point one of the skeleton guys knocked me down while I was fighting another and took like 10 hps off me and a little sign popped up saying bbi was for seasoned travelers and I was like "WELL! I guess I should be going then." :lol:

 

I have to say Aedan, I love your avatar and laughed for like 5 mins when I saw it last time and forgot to tell you.

@Kaidan Fan - Cyclops "High-Five"! Don't worry about rushing through BBI. Just dipping your toe in, is a great start. And yes....my favorite thing about BBI was that it was different/varied enough from the vanilla game.

@Shepenwepet - Love the avatar change! Gold. :D

Hoping to play a bit today. I had switched Castor to Ranger before I turned in for the night, on Saturday. For once, it seems like most of our "pawn pool" is set to Mage/Sorcerers. ;) Figured he could run as a Ranger for a bit (especially since I got the Framae Blades and Revenant Wail upgraded...Whooza!). I think I will take advantage of the dragons in Duskmoon, and see if I can get both Bitter End, and Dragonsbane, DF'ed. I may actually try purifying the rest of the level 2 weapons I have, to see if a shield comes up. I don't really have a great shield for Castor, and I forgot about that lvl.2 shield you can snag. (forgot the name, but it looks like a glowy version of Dragon's Den).

Hello DD players I recently watched some videos by Manufactured Opinion on YouTube about class leveling ect where he explained the leveling process. And it left me wondering if I screwed my self over he said that you should plan your class advancement his example was starting out as a fighter 10 lvls, sorcerer 40 lvls, mystic knight 50 lvls, assassin 100 lvls to get the best mix of stats for the end game farming. In no way did I do this I bounced around I would play fighter get bored play ranger then assassin then mage ect my strength is 1974 give or take magic is 600+ att lvl 117 I really want to take on the Ur-Dragon but I wanted to get the opinion of everyone here did I &$@? my self over changing classes so much or should I stop worrying about it?

I seriously doubt every infinity level pawn in DD:DA followed that example, I wouldn't worry about it it's not worth losing a potentially good pawn over.

Don't worry about it. Yes, it's nice to have optimal stats, but it isn't necessary. Everything evens out at 200 when you have decent gear and some good pawns following you.

 

Grace.

Firstly, don't beat yourself up on your current "build". A lot of people end up heavy-sided (either strength/attack or magick). Having said that, I did follow something closer to what that YT vid talks about, with my latest build (though, I focused it more on my pawn, than my Arisen. LOL!). I did that mostly because I just wanted to. You can still farm anything, by level 200. Trust me. :)

The stat points are best gained before reaching level 100, so many that focus on "build" types, do take advantage of that fact. (**BTW, did you mean you have "197" Magick, since 1974 base magick would put you in godtier/glasscanon amazaballs...LOL!!) Anyway, you still have quite a few levels before reaching 200. Even though the attributes per level up go down, once you pass level 100, you can still gain plenty of points between now and Infinity. If you really want to start balancing your Magick attack, then playing as Sorcerer for a number of levels will gain you the most points towards your base Magick Attack. Not sure if someone posted this for you before, but here is the Stats Growth page, for reference: http://dragonsdogma....ki/Stat_Growths

Again, let me give you some assurance. MA and MK may be awesome, and they definitely improve with better magick stats. But, if you really like playing Assassin or Ranger (which I personally think are great vocations for farming), your stats are already kickass for that. LOL! Some players will even do this on purpose; make their Arisen heavy in either magick or strength/attack, and do the opposite for their pawn. Play as you want to play, and if you decide later, to make another ARisen to get the best stats, do it. You can always set up another account on your PS3, and start a new game under that account. This would also give you the added bonus of being able to "friend" your other Arisen and pawn (so you can "gift" yourself. :D ).

Anyway, hope this helps, and have fun!

YAY! Ari and Castor got lucky getting into Grace. I had Zihark and Chase with me, but I did have to take Chase's bow away. Needed that boy to climb. lol!

Was nice that it was a butt load of hearts this time. :D

I made it into Grace as Alynna, Kalethai was not so lucky. Two bags of gold and a wakestone, which isn't bad for just aiming your bow at the ground. Alynna got another Saint George Mask. Blargh. She also had two non-friend pawns with her, one was a sorcerer who I think didn't get a single spell off. STOP STANDING UNDER ITS FEET, PLEASE.

 

I'm sick of having to hoof it to the Everfall every time I want to fight the Ur with Kalethai. Methinks it's time to hand over those 20 wakestones and get me some sky back.

 

But then again... Archydra battles whenever I want... decisions, decisions....

Sorry guys I think I may be done with DD (for a while), I tried gathering pawns for the group picture thing in the fence and low and behold I could only move 1 foot per hour. Soooo, I unloaded everything I mean everything I had into the INN, unequipped all of my weapons and armor and walked around town and I still walked like a snail stuck in molasses in January, like I'm seriously naked and have very light status yet I'm still sluggish and slow? This game is just pissing me off to no end I used to love playing it for hours and hours but now it feels like a chore.

I think you are viewing those numbers "with" your weapons and augments equipped. The base number is usually in parentheses (). It would be literally impossible for you to have both base strength and magic that high, even at level 200. There just aren't enough "stats" available in the game for it. Don't worry though, I figured that either you accidently added a number, or you were reading the number of "total" strength with weapon and augments (and any armor/rings that you may be wearing that also add strength). :)

But the bottom line is, you don't need to worry about maximizing. As you get higher in level, and get great armor/weapons (like from BBI), you will be able to farm anything you want. ;) Just have fun.

@Carcharoth - You are a god! Thank you for that heads up on Grace. I got supremely lucky. I first got in with Ari/Castor, then decided to see if I could make it with Ulee and Chase. I had forgotten that I had played the on-line Ur about a week and a half ago, so I had goodies waiting for me. BUT, that meant I had to race back to the Inn, and sleep. Luck was on my side though, I still made it into Grace with Ulee and Chase! :D Had Zihark (again) and Iorveth with me.

What boon! OH......And as luck (continues) to have it, both Ari and Ulee had new armor on, that needed dragon forging. *happy dance*

Awww...Aedan. :(

Is this happening on all your Arisens, or just one of them? What augments to you have set? If you go to "Profile", under Status, what is your Height and Weight, set to. Also, look at "condition" under Status as well, make sure you were not debilitated by "Topor".

Have you tried your other Arisens?

Carrying pawns pretty much instantly sets you to overencumbered, so yeah, it gets tiresome lugging everyone around. But if your walking speed without carrying anything is extremely slow... it may be your controller? If you have another one, try that. Pressing forward lightly on the analog stick results in slow walking, but pressing normally should result in a nice jog.

 

There are stamina draining properties on BBI weapons if you're a low level, but I don't think that's the problem. They're supposed to drain stamina if you run or use basic attacks.

Actually, Shepen brings up two really good points, @Aedan.

When I first played the game, I had no idea how to run. Took me forever to get anywhere. I didn't realize you had to press down and forward, on the left analogue stick, to get your Arisen to "Run". Woops. :lol:

Second, I had completely forgotten about the stamina draining aspect of BBI gear, if you are low level. And she is correct on that. I think it is level 60 (??) and up where you won't take a hit on stamina. I could very well be wrong on that number though.

I don't have anything equipped, nada, zilch. My arisen is naked, and I changed his height/weight to be taller and more lithe and still he runs/walks at a snail's pace. I think it may be a controller issue...great more money to feed Micro$oft. I am just really tired of investing in that company, I feel I made the wrong choice when deciding on a console back in 2010.

@Aedan - have you tried one of your other Arisens to see if it is the same situation? If yes, then yeah....I would suspect your controller as well. The "pushing down/clicking" aspect of the analogue stick, is probably no longer functioning correctly, if this is happening with all your Arisens.

Sent Zi home with a fae silver plate and phantom orb; I was afraid to send him with more than one of the same item (via hiring and re-hiring), not sure if the items would cancel each other out. Have we determined if it's okay to hire and rehire and repeatedly send a pawn home with the same thing?

 

Oh, btw, Seel is currently in the Rift wielding a giant hammer with the awesome strength of about a level 52 warrior :lol: He's so cute.

@newschmoo - I really like your Rhys, over on the PS3, but haven't rented him in a bit. I was getting some goodies for Stormheart, but will grab Rhys next. Besides, I am fairly certain I have an extra Talarian White staff, that I can equip to him. ;)
 

 

Thanks, that's OK. It is hard when you have two versions of the game on the go (never enough hours!)  I am doing things a bit differently for Rhys in terms of his build.  I found having him as a Strider for a while and then switching to Sorcerer has made him a bit more balanced between strength and magick (Thomas became too strength heavy, hence why he is going to be a sorcerer/mage for a little while).   I am going to be following the link you gave about stats growth.  I can't wait till new game though so I can tweak Rhys a bit though. 

 

Ugh Cripes I can't browse the DAI forums without Every. Single. Fraking. Thread turning into a political debate, guess the lobby is my new home away from home. 

Haven't been playing DD:DA for a while now, been working on my mage warden. 

 

The DAI forums can be a bit ... I can't think of the word!  I do venture there occasionally, but sometimes I do back away!  I always try to be civil, even when I may not agree with things, but courtesy goes a long way (I sound so old!)   I cannot believe the Cullen thread is over a 1000 pages long!  I can't keep up with it anymore!

 

And I'm sorry to hear about problems with your DD:DA game.  I really hope the problem is resolved soon.  The only time I can think an Arisen would walk slow is from being over encumbered or if he is debilitated with Torpor (which he shouldn't get if he is in Gran Soren :huh: )   I used Gideon the other day and he helped me defeat two Condemned Gorecyclops in BBI.  Unfortunately before that he disappeared after an encounter with a Fire Drake, so I apologise if he came back at first with 3 stars.  I did give him 5 stars later.
