Speaking of sorcerers, what would be a good loadout of archistaff skills to have on my pawn to make him more usefull for hiring?

[PotatoArmada]

The audio fix didn't really work for me. It sounds a lot better at the start screen, but as soon as I go to the main menu the audio drops down to being super quiet again. Checked the audio settings and everything is at 100.

[QUOTE=Hammer7;49620206]So I decided to kill Daimon again but this time without cheesy stuff.
Cleared everything with unbelievable ease. Even forgotten city was a cake walk.
Daimon v1 also died pretty quick. But then...

I did no damage to him. Not even with melee. And he wiped us with his supernova hoover.[/QUOTE]

Use Magick Rebalancer as a dagger skill, it stacks four times just like Periapts do. Before the fight starts (i.e. before you walk into the room), drop four of them, wait for your stamina, then go fight him. It doubles your magic damage. Once he goes into phase 2 you have time to reapply three of them (four if you're using articulacy like you should be). Then just try to keep them up as long as you can, when he starts his vortext thing get behind the throne if you don't think you can do enough damage to stagger him

BBI has some fucked up creatures.

[QUOTE=Akzon0r;49620207]Speaking of sorcerers, what would be a good loadout of archistaff skills to have on my pawn to make him more usefull for hiring?[/QUOTE]

Maelstrom
Gicel
Voidspell (fuck petrify)
Lassitude assuming they know how to use it
Holy affinity if your mage pawns don't have it, if you're doing purely BBI then ice/lightning
Ingle/Comestation
Levin/Fulmination.

As far as augments go:
Articulacy (faster cast times, required for Sorcerers, seriously)
Acuity (more magic damage, absolutely required)
Attunement (more magic damage, absolutely required)
Bastion (less physical damage, make them less squishy)
Conservation

the others are up to you.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;49619167]would be amazing if they did content patches since the pc version is selling like hotcakes[/QUOTE]

I wonder what the revenue stream is like compared to the console version. Surely it is notable enough to draw some attention.

Edit: do we not have a list of people to friend on FP for pawn usage? I don't really like hiring random pawns.

[PotatoArmada]

[QUOTE=GunFox;49621421]I wonder what the revenue stream is like compared to the console version. Surely it is notable enough to draw some attention.[/QUOTE]

IIRC, the PC version already sold more than both the console versions combined.

[editline]27th January 2016[/editline]

Although, this says that it has sold over 200k on steam.

I'm sure that the console versions sold more than that. Maybe the article that announced that was incorrect.

[27X]

[QUOTE=Rahu X;49619311]Audio is definitely better in the new patch, but still a touch too quiet I feel.

Maybe it's to do with my particular sound setup (Amp/DAC instead of onboard/dedicated sound card). No idea.[/QUOTE]

have a Xonar Essence, same here.

[B]Edit:[/B]
Exequy is great against those leapworms in BBI. Just throw out a sigil and if you see circles blow them all up. Hits them even when in hiding too. And can someone tell me where people announce grace periods for Ur?

[Seth2492]

I wish there was a way to set the behavior of my pawn to not pick up every fish/piece of meat he stumbles across. I'm getting really tired of having to throw out thousands of pounds of rotten meat. :(

[Last or First]

I beat the game.
...Huh. I didn't expect [sp]becoming god and killing myself.[/sp] Or [sp]the game stopping me from playing anymore.[/sp] Maybe I should have paid more attention to [sp]"Warning: you're not coming back from this."[/sp]
And unlike most people, [sp]I kind of liked the world looking apocalyptic. It was cool. I wish I had spent more time in it.[/sp]

Well, whatever. Time for BBI!

Your pawn probably has too much of the acquisitor inclination. Buy some inclination potions that encourage fighting.

It's good til you realize it never ends, you either have permasmog or permanight on BBI.

Mainly means you never get to appereciate your pawns fashion~ because it's so grimgreen

[Stalketeer]

What is the name of that pointy witch-style hat that people are wearing, and where can I get it?

[gbtygfvyg]

[QUOTE=hakimhakim;49623789]What is the name of that pointy witch-style hat that people are wearing, and where can I get it?[/QUOTE]

Adept's hat. Bitterblack armor lv. 1 or In Aid of the Emerald King II which is on one of the quest boards in bitterblack isle after you defeat the dragon.

[editline]28th January 2016[/editline]

If you get lucky you can also get the Bonus Enhancement if you purify it which has a chance of getting you the Extend Duration of equipped skills (aka sigils for Mage, Sorcerer, Magick Archer, and Mystic Knight). it exenteds sorcerer's sigils like miasma for 10 seconds, and all the other vocations for 5 seconds.

[SupaBastad]

Does anyone else pick up their main pawn and do a victory lap with them around the corpse of whatever big monster they've killed?

It's become a ritual for me since killing devilfire drake.

[OluapPlayer]

Jesus christ. Fuck these corrupted Pawns, fuck Elder Ogres, fuck Death and fuck Daimon. More or less fuck all of Bitterblack Isle while we're at it.

But in all seriously, I often hear Mystic Knight and Great Cannon are very powerful but when I played that vocation I found myself doing very low damage. Is it because I've spent most of my levels as a Fighter/Warrior?

Nope. I can confirm gear is what matters. Played lvl10-126 as warrior and went for magic archer. Everything is a joke now. Even Daimon v2 once people told me about 4x magick rebuffer.

Lets say Magick Archer and Mystic Knight are the most comfortable vocations for BBI.

Normally I pick up my pawn and give her a victory spin if she brings me back a lot of rift crystals. I also did it after the first time I killed a corrupted dragon, and Daimon's first form.

Who wouldn't hire her?

She's not as short as the images make her look.

[DeVotchKa]

Suggested level for fighting Urdy or should i just wait until i start getting BBI gear

[3mpty]

Took down daimon once more.
I'm now up to where I was on Xbox.

[I]Fuck BBI2.0[/I]

Seriously this place is bullshit.
Hey, fight a greater drake, also hellhounds, then once you've done that, try your hand at 3 gorechimeras and 2 liches at once. This is just the first area!

I only got up to the final zone of BBI2.0 once. I saw what awaited me and just said 'fuck it'

It was something like 3 or 4 wyverns flying around, over a city swarming with haunted armor, and to top it all off, the final guardians before daimon's door were 3 eliminators.

A man can only take so much...

I have one left.

that's enough, right

I guess I could rush through the main game again.

I packed 5 wakestones for my daimon fight and burned 3 of them before I even reached him.

I mean sure you can probably do it without wakestones but fuck that
