    one handed caster main weapons?

    That's simply false. Leadership is derived from Presence and Presence can easily make you stronger. Leadership as a stat on items can increase your DPR more substantively than other offensive stats depending on configuration, making that position also situationally untrue even for Leadership...

    one handed caster main weapons?

    That's simply wrong, since the ability to tank hits is a characteristic of a tank. Tanking isn't merely a role in recently-made video games, kid, it's an attribute. I get that you are too young to know this and are lashing out, but learning new things shouldn't be something you are afraid of...

    one handed caster main weapons?

    There's a lot of ambiguity in there, and I suspect an error. You're not "weaker" if you focused on Leadership if your goal was to do no damage save via Leadership. So long as your party members a) output damage that outpaces enemy sustain and b) absorb damage at a rate that the party can heal...

    one handed caster main weapons?

    You are wrong yet again, but I'll give you points for consistency. The builds I mentioned aren't designed to do damage, which you could have understood from the pretty clear descriptions thereof. Nope, a tank works if its survival means the team wins. A support tank that keeps the whole team...

    one handed caster main weapons?

    I generally run tanks and heavily use Leadership and don't heavily favor Conquerors because I'm running support and don't care to generate Threat. No it isn't. Conqueror's was the best-case scenario for the comparison as the Leathers basically crushes earlier armors like Scale. It was far from...

    one handed caster main weapons?

    The Royal Leathers comes out fairly easily ahead of even the (somewhat cherry-picked) Conquerer's Breastplate. It definitely seems to smoke Scale Mail and in any conflict where there is a little non-physical damage coming your way alongside massive physical damage, comes out clearly ahead. I'm...

    one handed caster main weapons?

    While we're on the subject of things that need rebalancing, a reminder just in case this fell off of your radar as I've posted about this before: Bull Totem is literally just a better Blank Scroll. So Blank Scroll needs a boost. (I can't imagine Bull Totem is overstrong, but maybe.) I...

    Your gripes with CoC II

    Flavor that merely takes up space on the screen and has no mechanical effect isn't flavor to me is my point, but to each their own. A cornercase, sub-optimal ability should be the very opposite of a min-maximizing one, but such designs do come with higher dev effort and can be disregarded as a...

    Your gripes with CoC II

    I mislike weak abilities, save for when they have weird, corner-case effects. Why not give Tail Wack a hard-to-use effect, like the ability to knock both the opponent and the user prone on a crit (with a possible physical ability check if that's still too strong)?

    Your gripes with CoC II

    A good way to deal with that is to have spaces for full names available with the game making it clear that anything but the first can be left back. Most of these extra names are effectively dummy or placeholder and are almost never called upon by the text. However, allowing for three-part-names...

    Just a noob in combat/building in COC2

    Take a power that buffs your party, concentrate on stats that buff your whole party (Leadership), take a power that heals your party, take a power that damages opponents, play the game. If there are too many support options, restrict yourself to the White Mage class because that's what it...

    How are the non-combat encounters that normally give/take resolve handled now?

    Someone should try the Convocation of Mirrors.

    Sexiness and leadership

    lol, before I made that post I, in a hurry, checked powers to see that there was, indeed, Sexiness heals scaling and I found that exact power and decided that I'm usually too meticulous and I was fine to proceed without a complete investigation. So that's a thing I did. Well, not for nothin', I...

    Sexiness and leadership

    So, to be clear, right now Leadership is hitting Spellpower that thereby boosts Health heals and Shield generation when abilities base those things on Spellpower, but Leadership does nothing for Resolve heals when they're based on Sexiness. I have to side with the consistent-Leadership camp...

    Combat and QoL Feedback Thread

    How I missed that Recharge 1 I'll never know. Put it down to not using Quin very much.
