Haven't had a chance to play the new levels yet,

Anyone got any early favorites for Nightmare or Heartbreaker?

Discuss.

[Gya]

I couldn't really say, all classes are the same in the fade.

I've only played 1 NM run, so I'm hardly an expert on the matter. But it seems as though the enemies have increased health, do more damage, and there's constant knockdown. So a barrier spam class, especially virtuoso, and a CC class like the elementalist seem like they'd be very useful.

DPS is also important so the run doesn't take 2 hours. I'm curious, have people had much luck with the reaver?

[luissantosN7]

Did 2 runs with reaver. 1 with a barrier guy, awesome.

 

Another without a barrier guy, mostly in the fade   

Reaver seems to work pretty well on perilous now, but , at least for me, in nightmare without a barrier, very hard.

Virtuoso's thing to add attack speed helps a lot too, adding that to Rampage, Dragon rage becomes really fast. More hits = more Criticals = more cooldown reduced (Flow of battle) for the next rampage.

Reaver, Reaver, Reaver, and Reaver is probably my favorite team composition for nightmare dragon hunts.

With the recent buffs to Reaver she is integral to any nightmare run as far as i'm concerned. For ferelden castle you need characters to block spawns asap and she is about as good as it gets in that regard.

It's hard to say.

 

There are extremely good team compositions which allow you to complete a full HB run at low promotes, but I don't have a good answer for higher promoted people. Sometimes it's just easier to clear faster and take squishier classes (avvar, reaver, duelist, etc)

I wouldn't get too comfortable relying on this

She's a paper tissue on Nightmare (unless she has a barrier pony ofc). Anyone who says otherwise please drop your number of promotions in the post. Necromancer is just... DON'T BRING HER TO NM OKAY GUYS. Elementalist is excellent as usual (the CC from firestorm is godly). AW good too as far as survivability goes ofc, but I am not sure how much DPS he brings to the equation.

NO LUKE NO. Take a look at your data you gather from the game instead of relying on observations from overpromoted people.

[Kalas Magnus]

Reaver is the only class i will use for nightmare.

 

im hitting for 3-6k per hit and it takes me forever to kill the enemies.

i dont think i could take hitting enemies for 300. on mages.

or 700 with swords.

How about you actually look at fixing things that are broken first?

Is she getting the "Fade-touched Nerfbat" ?

[Kalas Magnus]

Jeeesus you guys are exploit addicted little monkeys.

 

Did you not even consider for a second that he might be talking about the spawn blocking bug?

You assume too much. Also, everyone knows that real pros camp Firebase White.

 

[Spin-Orbit]

I believe NM is very different than HB. NM old map and new FC is also different. NM is much more forgiving and can be done with most mixture of classes, dependent on players/builds. HB is much tougher mine was done with Reaver, Keeper, Elementalist and AW. I believe AW can be another DPS or Warrior. Keeper was built for barrier and elementalist filled in with barrier and cc.

[ParthianShotX]

 

NO LUKE NO.

[DrakeHasNoFlow]

Just wondering, has anything really changed regarding the overuse of support kits for the new difficulties? I feel like I'm spinning my wheels here and racking my brain wondering if 'other' classes will be played now instead of 6 months down the line when everyone who has stayed and grinded long enough will be at freedom not to be at the mercy of having a barrier spammer watch over them.

it's like the meta game for damp is still about abusing barrier and the support xp that comes with it.

So to be successful in nightmare and hb:

Have everyone grab a mage and an AW (since he is after all still the tankiest kit with great xp potential) and maybe just maybe someone can pick a dps class.

And for the people who like to play 'other' classes they can play perilous, I mean new threatening. This exactly what the game was like 6 months ago upon release. What has changed really?

Only thing I saw on heartbreaker difficulty was a mook doing a half screen crushing leap. After that, I exited to main menu....

This.

[kaileena_sands]

This.

 

We're cool then and we still love you. 

[Campout King]

Did a few runs with Reaver, a must have in NM dragon run...and a damn good Virt who actually focused on barrier and NOT playing cool this, power doo doo that....it was great... until noone got any unique cards.... but a pluthera of xp : )

LMAO!!!!! good choice

[llandwynwyn]

My favorite kit for heartbreaker is a bed, so I can hide under it. Clever name too, those mages are bound to give someone a heart attack.

Nerf my baby all you want you can't stop my thirst for blood. Frankly you need to look at all the character with crap damage that can't handle being a damage dealer in nightmare. Like the Avaar, Katari, Arcane Warrior, and so many others.

[Felis Menari]

Seriously. The high dragon is still bugged and not working with some character skills. That needs to be near top of the to-do list, I say.
