    Chrysanthemum Petals, Kunai, Divine Blossoms and Odd Behavior

    Wait... you can equip two shields? It's too early for my brain to be thinking about the implications of this.

    Most annoying enemy?

    Oddly enough I haven't found ghosts to be much of a problem even on my Warrior character (Galon's Griefmaker has 20 Frost damage, which does hurt them), but I usually travel with at least one character who can cast White Fire (probably the best spell in the game) and that makes a huge...

    Chrysanthemum Petals, Kunai, Divine Blossoms and Odd Behavior

    Hmm... so if I understand correctly, it's the Blessed effect inserting itself between the time a crit has been rolled and the time it's being "corrected" to be a non-crit. This essentially creates two anomalies (the buff appearing to trigger from a non-crit, and a non-crit looking like a crit)...

    Chrysanthemum Petals, Kunai, Divine Blossoms and Odd Behavior

    Fascinating. It does looks like a crit (the damage is much higher than the Balanced Blade's, and more blatantly, it triggered the Bless), but there's no critical hit notification. Could it be that, for the short time I used the Chrysanthemum in the off-hand, it was "stealth" off-hand crits that...

    Chrysanthemum Petals, Kunai, Divine Blossoms and Odd Behavior

    I'll correct my earlier statement: weapons in the offhand normally can't crit. I've performed literally hundreds of attacks with my Kunai and it never crit a single time. The only off-hand attacks that can crit are those made using a power that has the "Dual" tag. Currently that would be Dual...

    Chrysanthemum Petals, Kunai, Divine Blossoms and Odd Behavior

    Bad news. I took it into Undermountain, and... it's not great. It's very effective against Imps. The Holy damage hits them pretty hard, I usually crit two or three, and the rest die from Brienne's Cleave or the Bleed. It's... semi-serviceable against Kobolds and Hobgoblins. They seem to be...

    Chrysanthemum Petals, Kunai, Divine Blossoms and Odd Behavior

    Yeah, that's pretty much what I thought. I figured only the Holy damage and Bleed would do anything against it. Actually thought the Bleed would be great because it ignores Armor, but apparently: Bleed immunity is real, real bad. Only the 20 Holy damage on the Petal would do anything...

    Chrysanthemum Petals, Kunai, Divine Blossoms and Odd Behavior

    Blessing is really strong, that's true. The power itself especially because it affects the entire party. The buff scaling with Spellpower... I'm not sure what it would mean for the power, but I think that would nerf the Petal quite effectively. A character with high Attack Power but low...

    Chrysanthemum Petals, Kunai, Divine Blossoms and Odd Behavior

    In another thread, we've been discussing some interesting weapons and how they might function together. I spent a couple hours testing some things and I'm sharing my findings here. Let's just say some of the behavior I'm seeing is not at all what I expected. Test #1 - Chrysanthemum Petal in the...

    Your gripes with CoC II

    Futanari, by definition, have a penis and a vagina. "Hermaphrodite" would be the western term for it. Here "dickgirl" would be the more ambiguous term, but it's usually used to refer to someone who looks mostly female but has a penis instead of a vagina. It really does sound much nicer than...

    Your gripes with CoC II

    According to some old patch notes I remember seeing, it was the Eternal Delusion. Somehow. It's a ranged catalyst that does 20 Mind damage so I'm not sure exactly how that would mess up Kasyrra, but apparently it did.

    Has CoC 2, or the other Fenoxo games, helped anyone else be more accepting of open relationships etc?

    Maybe if I'd been raised in a highly repressive environment, this sort of thing would have been a shock and an eye-opener... but no, it didn't change anything for me personally. I always knew people had sex, and while I wouldn't be opposed to having sex with a girl who sleeps around, I still...

    How do powers interact with weapon attributes?

    Yeah, I really don't think I'm going to go into weapon buffs with this one. Indeed, no Spellpower, and any turn during which I'm not proccing Bless is essentially a wasted turn. Undermountain has also been quite a shock regarding fire. I've always loved Pyromage Brienne... but she's been...

    Your gripes with CoC II

    Even without keeping up with developer comments, I'm definitely getting "We put it in but we deeply regret it" vibes. Certainly it would be a shame to scrap the whole thing at this point, so I think you're right, it's probably staying. But it might be a while before someone starts working on it...

    How do powers interact with weapon attributes?

    Well... yes and no. In math, a negative percentage is usually stronger than the same number in a positive. If you lose half of your money (-50%), you'll need to double it (+100%) to get back to where you were, and if you double your money (+100%), it only takes a loss of half (-50%) to go back...

    How do powers interact with weapon attributes?

    Oh, I see, Sneak Attack would be there to consume the Obscurement... but yes, it's a one-time thing and with Sure Shot I probably always have something good to do on my turn anyway. I have a love/hate relationship with Duelist's Stance. Love the concept, but whenever I try it, it never works...

    How do powers interact with weapon attributes?

    It really is. I just feel silly telling my kunoichi "All right, now put on this massive suit of plate armor". But you know what they say... "Necessity is the mother of giving up your silly themes and getting practical".

    How do powers interact with weapon attributes?

    Ah right, Cleave is on a Recharge 3... I'm still mentally stuck on it having a Recharge 2, the wiki keeps messing with my head on that too. However, Crowd Control against a group of four enemies would get +50 against a single target and -25 against all three others, a net loss already. And...

    Your gripes with CoC II

    But they did allow it. If you make a good Health combat build, it is going to work in all situations because enemies that are resistant to Health combat are super weak to Resolve damage. I meet a slime with my Health combat party? I Tease it a few times and it's gone. And that's fine, no build...

    How do powers interact with weapon attributes?

    I love horizontal progression so I'm 100% behind this. And admittedly, while it's often easy to pick one piece of gear over another based on your build, it's true that most pieces of gear are overall about as strong as each other. But yeah, there's going to be a few exceptions. Bows, for...
