How are you enjoying the PvP anons, for the few times where you and your opponent don't desync by turn 3 ? Let me guess, you are using a Mark build ? And obviously you got a nice bounty hunter ready to finish anyone you put on Death's Door.
I really cannot recommend Stress comps enough.
I'll maybe check it out after it gets a little more balanced in general. Bellow from Man at Arms is fucking stupid from what I've seen.
It's overturned, but you can always do a stress or dot comp instead
>It's a two Man-at-Arms get into a shouting contest in the middle of the arena
>The other guy thinks he's winning because my only hard DPS is the Abomination and he's now reduced to sub-10 damages
>Little does he know in one round everyone on his party will be afflicted and he will stop caring about my damage output very fast after that
Absolute beta males, fuck stress comps. Imagine wanting to spend 25 minutes on each match while also using a strategy that takes the already high rng of Darkest Dungeon and cranks it up to 11. Are you even using strategy at that point? Embarrassing, bros.
What RNG ? If anything I use very little RNG in my strategy. All my attacks have guaranteed stress on hit. On the ~15 matches I played with this comp I only ran through an hero becoming Virtuous once. I know for a fact getting to 200 stress puts you at Death's Door, and getting 200 stress in that stat is a direct deathblow. I do not like inconsistency when I fight, which is why I don't often use moves that increase Dodge, because it's just too unreliable unless you have a very specific team for it.
Yes, but the only thing you are relying on to not get absolutely fucked in the meantime is affliction rng on the enemy's side. If they weren't passing turns and doing random actions all the time your strat wouldn't work very well.
Not really, most of the time I don't get a lot of afflictions that really affect the game. Don't get me wrong, sometimes an opponent's hero would pass their turn and it's a great feelings, but most of the time it just amounts to heroes giving each other chip damage (which is irrelevant, because if you play a Stress comp you barely made a dent in the opponent's defense by that point and are relying on heart attacks for DD), or occasionally moving around (but most players are smart enough to get somewhat fluid teams).
If I'm relying on anything it's the snowball effect afflicted heroes have on each others, which is extremely reliable and something I can plan around.
Plus you know, a stress comp is basically useless in the first two or three rounds of the game, so that's 12 actions the opponent can take to fuck me up before I do anything.

This. Once an Abusive BH yelled at his HM buddy so hard he had a heart attack. Felt good.
>Going from 0 to 3 kills in one Bellow because that one guy got a heart attack and died, stressing out that other guy who got a heart attack and died, stressing out a third guy who stabbed his fellow and killed him
Cool
>ahahaha
>the buffoon is flummoxed!
The entire enemy team is humans, Bounty Hunter was robbed.
>pretty much has a guaranteed kill
>robbed
If anyone was robbed it's the DoT classes because DoT simply cannot kill anyone by themselves now.
>has a 25 round bleed
>come hither marks
>finish him is basically a guaranteed deathblow
>one of the few stuns in MP
BH came out pretty good all things considered
Wasn't come hither marking as of Color of Madness?
BH went from low-mid tier in pve to top tier in pvp.
>BH went from low-mid tier in pve
The fuck ? BH is a consistenly great pick in PVE because Cultists are everywhere, he gets good damage regardless of the enemy type with his Mark, and he brings utility with him like Come Hither or a free stun + move
Oh right, forgot, played this last in like, 2018 so I kinda forgot
Also post banners
>winning
>sudden desync
It's all so tiring.
Banners are fucked, like half of them are locked behind DLC I already have or behind content I completed in another playthrough, when they made a point in saying the Circus content was not tied to any campaign.
>single out and checkmate opponents hound master asap
>they quit before I even kill him
does the game just freeze up for anyone else? its neither mine nor his turn, its just stuck
>take out someone character who can hit backline people
>put my healer there
>heal 2 rounds
>he ragequits before we even hit 10 turns
Oh man, and this is only my 3rd game.
>turn based pvp
meh
It has its merits. You can't blame lag for losing.
>mfw I made someone ragequit after critting their Hellion once and popping Finale on them in the 2nd round
True, I guess they expected everyone who's playing MP to have done almost everything in SP already and have it all unlocked, despite saying that campaign wouldn't be tied to it. Oh well, the best banner accessories are unlocked through easy shit/shit everyone did, like the Vvulf trophy
out of 4 matches
2 desyncs
1 freeze
why dont you at least get something when it desyncs, both times I was very close to victory
these constant desyncs are getting ridiculous. I dont want to look like a bitch because my arbelest gets moves once and the match just ends
to unlock those items enable the new dlc on your save, load it and access the circus from there. you only need to do this once.
FUCKING NETWORK
I WAS HAVING A 1VS1 FIGHT AND WE WERE BOTH INCHES AWAY FROM A FATAL HEART ATTACK.
AND THEN
>darkest.exe has ceased functioning
I WAS PROBABLY GONNA LOSE BUT STILL
Why did they make the vestal so useless in pvp?
and two more desyncs
>matches where I'm decisively winning
>desync
>matches where I'm clearly losing
>lasts the full 30min because if I'm going to lose fuck you, earn it, I ain't surrendering
>Bring vestal, occultist, support hero, and leper
>Spam heal and blast foes with other two
Seems decent to me
