Okay then. This vote would kind of benefit from a run-off, since Stats vanguard kinda ran off into a band-wagon, no offence. I'd be interested in a Ring option, for example.
I... don't think we've been reading the same thread.
It's a less powerful boost than Thousand Cuts has access to at all times. Thousand Cuts also doesn't have activation requirements or automatic drawbacks.
Oh, I agree proper and judicious use of form of rage backed up by strong base-level abilities would work beautifully.
If the quest was only me I'd certainly be considering it. I just don't trust the rest of you. No offense, that fish vote just... shudders.
I... don't think we've been reading the same thread.
Note that not picking King's Blood nearly got Letiz killed and caused us to leave Ber alive so we could help her and recover ourselves.
Form of Rage basically only rewards incredibly reckless play. If we're not in a fight for our life it doesn't even work and we just die.
I think 7 times the strength and agility is still stronger than a threefold boost to all. Maybe it would be different if we'd invested substantially in other stats before this but those will be our two highest stats after this vote so they'll get a bigger boost from being multiplied. At a certain point if you're strong and fast enough and all you have is a sword the other stats just don't matter as much.
It isn't. It comes at a cost of accumulated power. That's my entire problem with it. It isn't just "short term over long term" it's "every time you trigger this your long term gets a little farther away."
Note if Vanguard wins we can bring Gisena with us since the situation will have changed dramatically.
Ooh neat... That build that got disqualified earlier? It's on the table now.
Yes, that pick would be Ideal. Probably two Echos as support.
I mean yeah, if we could use Form of Rage whenever we want, it would clearly be the best and shit. But we can't, barring literal suicide strats. The moment we don't die but get a penalty we could have avoided by just being stronger outright is where the problems start. Our build lacks offense, but waiting until things go wrong to actually get it is not good. That applies to the Rank up as well.
The appropriate response to to the threads gambling addiction is not to encourage it. Especially with Apocryphal. Especially especially if we want to actually loot the Temple properly and not just run with our tail between our legs after we pop Rage. It's very good if we would die, but it does nothing in any other circumstance, most important of them being inflicted with maluses. Even right now we have avoided options that have a chance to outright kill us when it's presented forthrightly; no one voting for Fishing knew that we had an Apocryphal proc literally the next day.
