beccaelizabethPlaying Wrath of the Righteous and my characters have levelled up to the point where the main problem is standing still for two minutes before a fight while we cast all the buffs.
Also remembering all the buffs. That is a non trivial problem now. There are... so many.
I am having a weirdly unsatisfying time playing even though I am beating most fights and even the tough ones only take two or three goes, on Core. I think it's because I am aware I am not doing it right. I haven't thought of a better way but I know this one is actually rather rubbish. So I am winning, but it is not elegant glorious solutions to demon problems, it's just the thing where I can stack buffs until the enemy are rolling for twenties just to have a chance to hit, we've got armour and damage reduction, their elemental damage can't get through, everyone is protected from poison AND disease, and death ward is taking care of level drain and negative energy on the whole, so when they actually do hit at all with anything? There's barely any damage. Teensy tiny damage of smallness. So I can do really badly, Woljif tends to be rolling for twenties himself because I cannot build that guy so he can hit for toffee, I've had to turn off half the clever feats because they might up the damage but the to hit is too bad, and yet still, I can just ignore the being hit, so I win.
It's like I'd rather play like Batman but at the moment I'm just a set of somewhat mobile walls and that's somehow working.
Still, progress is being made, and new things happen a bit because I am playing Angel this time, so that's neat.
