When you take a look at the average statistics among the classes, you should remove the Antiquarian from the averages, because she's more of an outlier than a comparable data point. Almost every single class has been above average in almost everything, and I believe that's solely because the Antiquarian is dragging down average HP, damage, etc....
@AdamArchangel7 жыл бұрын
Definitely one of those situations when the Median would be a much more useful stat to use than the Mean, since averages are so sensitive to outliers.
@bryanzhao40485 жыл бұрын
The first quartile is calculated by computing the index using the following equation: i = (k/100)(n+1) where k is the percentile of the data and n is the number of individuals in the set. For the first quartile, k is set to 25 and there are 18 classes in the game as of making this comment. Q1 = (25/100)(18+1) = 4.75 -> 5 (rounded to the nearest whole number). The 5 means that the first quartile spans from the character with the lowest stat to the character with the 5th lowest stat. The third quartile is calculated using the same formula but k is now 75. Q3 = (75/100)(18+1) = 14.25 -> 15. For the sake of time, I went through each stat (damage, dodge, etc.) and found that there were no outliers. You just have to figure out the interquartile range, lower fence, and the upper fence andcheck if any of the values go below the lower fence or above the upper fence. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qFYEXwoX102nLcfYnc2HSxX709aVxpbPVzHJ69UmUMI/edit?usp=sharing

Seven months late but i think it's too important to not mention. That effect doesn't apply only to stress dealers. It applies to pretty much everything that isn't straight up damage. Bleed or blight? Nah, killed the enemy before he could do it. Stun? Doesn't work. Debuff, move or anything else? Nope. If the riposte kills an enemy, *none* of the extra effects apply.

Not only that, but Grapeshot now also debuffs for more crits recieved... This video is even back in the day questionable because the Highwayman was never garbage. There was a time when the Highwayman just was not utterly unbalanced op as it is right now, but calling it garbage was never true since release. Also getting rid of open vein for attacks like pisto shot or wicked slice is extremely qestionable while considering point blanck a not very useful attack - the guy just seems to forget that point blanck is a guaranteed hit always and deals amounts of dmg that normally only mark combos or the Jester can do. Open vein together with reposte guarantees also at least one dmg action per round, wicked slice and pistol shot does not (in fact I just finished the game, crushing the Darkest Dungeon with mostly Highwayman and it was basically a walk in the park only using open vein and advance with the ocasional grapeshot).

I quite like the grapeshot to finish off weak targets while still hurting other enemies at the same time. It's also unreasonably satisfying to get 3 killing blows with a single blast.
One of my favourite combo is simply Occultist's pull followed by Highwayman's point blank shot. Granted that most of time I need to equip the Occultist with some speed trinket(to be able to go first before Highwayman obviously), but I feel it is definitely worth it to be able to wipe 3rd or 4th rank in the first round in most fights.

Terrible idea. First off, they can dodge the pull. Secondly, they can resist the move check. Third, you waste a speed trinket on your occultist. Why not just mark the target with your occultist and then shoot him with a arbalest? Plus, most back rank units have a dodge of 10 or more, which the occultist mark can reduce to 0 most of the time. A pull won't do that. To be honest, comboing like that in general is quite weak. You can literally just put a hellion in your party with damage items and oneshot the rank 4. There you go, one unit oneshotting a target who goes through only 1 check (instead of your method of using 2 units that go through 3 check). Plus your occultist can actually use a good trinket for him now.
@favorx1837 жыл бұрын
Back line stress dealers always have low move resist. Also anything can be dodged. Your argument against his strategy is really weak. Also when you pull some stress dealers to the front they do a weak melee attack instead of stress damage it would be better to run the occultist with a speed plus his move skill chance boosting rod to guarantee the pull.

favor x no, he's right, why use 3 checks and 2 units for one kill, and what does the "if he's pulled to the frontline he get's weak" have to do with anything, you're just going to kill him, and anything can be dodged couse there is a min cap for dodgeing a attack, but it isn't the same as someone having HIGH dodge, and point blank shot is not that op if you think about it, big numbers don't mean shit in this game

And they all have they ability to attack the back ranks (bounty hunter can move the back to the front). I can take out the stress dealers in the 1st or 2nd round and heal well enough that tbe dmg from the front ranks is minimal. Maybe it will be less effective in the hard dungeons, but 1-3 they have been kicking ass. Even when they all get shuffled, they do few well.

Like take the collector fight : He summons man-at-arms , vestal , highwayman so you focus the collector then the highwayman and then you leave the fight with full hp 0 stress because you keep vestal and man-at-arms!

Arbikiusz Elemelek Don't get me wrong I understand why it's being done, the game isn't difficult from a tactical perspective everyone that just reads the details of the units and their skills sets will understand how to use them it's not starcraft tactical difficulty level it's merely a 4 units against 4 units where each roll a dice and depending on the rolls it might be in your favor or completely the opposite. In my opinion they should completely rework how stress works entirely and remove stress heal abilities, so that you would never have to get a stress healer bot and do the recovery approach to begin with. For instance I like the mechanic of afflictions vs virtues yet in all scenarios you never want to roll the dice on them which makes the whole mechanic entirely pointless because of recovery mode.

I feel like the grapeshot blast buff was enough to make it very viable. Including the addition of stealth to the game, being able to have a massive AOE attack that can hit stealthed enemies isn't half bad, and the debuff it has is decent as well. More useful than open vein in my opinion.

My absolute fave team is Vestal Grave robber (lunge and shadow fade) Crusader (Holy lance) Highwayman (point blank and duelist's advance) All those are move skills and I keep juggling my three attackers until everything dies. Also this way I can use Lunge every round (First GR uses lunge; goes from 3 to 1, then HWM uses duelist's advance; goes from 2 to 1 and sets GR to 2, then Cru switches between 3 and 2 with GR using holy lance and we are back to starting setup). If enemy moves someone out of place, I use point blank shot and shadow fade along with other skills to return to necessary setup. Is it the best team? Hell if I know, but for me certainly the most fun.

I'm not sure I fully but the logic against Point Blank Shot.

I heard your argument over point blank shot, yet I still don't get why you won't choose it. If you happen to be in front position, most likely because of duelist advance, or worse, surprise or shuffles, PBS is the way to go to get back without wasting an action, or depending on your teammates. Also, often by the time you get into the front by using duelist advance, the backline is broken, thanks to the ability and you his teammates. PBS is great in that case. I can't figure going highwayman without it.

It definitely feels good that you think the same way that I've always felt about it. Also, in my opinion, open vein is just as valuable as wicked slice due to the bleed debuff, which is more than useful against bosses that are in the first two ranks and have decent to low debuff resist. I often use a jester or houndmaster for stress heals, and the bleed debuff synergizes really well with their bleeds. I feel like it usually closes the door on any bleed inconsistencies, and reliability is always important.

Yes, it's one or the other. I think the tooltip 75% A 25% B is pretty clear though. It'd be weird to interpret it as 75% A (or 25% chance of nothing) + 25% B (or 75% chance of nothing). Or did you mean to the party as a whole? Because you can get the good result on one guy and the bad result on another.

You always talk about how you don't want to kill the front 2 ranks. But I always think like, what if it is a ghoul or any other type 2 big enemies. On half of those you don't want to risk them criting you even more because they usually have aoe damage which usually crits more often. On the higher level dungeons you are up against quite a few of those. Besides you still should want to kill the front ranks if you are up against bone arbalest, when those are in the front 2 ranks you can recover to full health and zero stress which makes a really good argument to kill the front 2 guys first. Just like with other high damage abilities I just strongly feel like you only take small enemies into account but I always feel like using the high damage abilities against the larger enemies on which in my opinion they usually do help to kill them off quick enough that they don't get a turn because I stunned the the first or first 2 rounds or at the least that they don't get a lot of actions to one-shot my characters with a large crit so they suddenly die to the next dot.

I'm not trying to say that it isn't important to kill the back ranks. However I do say that filthy never talks about 2 rank monsters. If it is on no light the aoe attacks are really scary not because of the damage but especially because those increase your stress so much. I love to have ways to prevent those big guys from attacking. I dont want the stress that comes with those crits and therefore having a singe mark on the team on the houndmaster(if he isn't the stunner) for example helps incredibly. And you dont need to have a team with 3 or 4 characters taking adventage of it or use that mark in every fight. Just have houndmaster and arbalest for example. Because the mark doesnt only increase their basedamage but also removes the protection. This can increase the arbalest attack with 340% and houndmasters with a lot as well (on lvl5). It just that he every skill that he can't use on the back rank as useless, but you have 4 skills and you are perfectly fine with using one or two or three skills in your party to be used for fights where there isn't a back rank but instead a large guy you really want to kill quickly. I know the important things of the game, am often inspired to beat the same challenges filthy does and love that he is one of the few smart players on youtube showing how he plays. But I often use comps in these challenges which use elements of which I feel like he undervalues.
@Guille20337 жыл бұрын
There's a big flaw in your reasoning: you say the 1-2 rank enemies can more easily crit you in no-light, thus causing more stress, BUT you have to keep in mind the 3-4 rank enemies will almost always use attacks which cause stress regardless if they crit or not (in which case they cause even more stress). Consequently, the majority of times the most intelligent tactic to prevent the most stress dmg in your team is to firstly prioritize the 3-4 rank enemies and then stall the fight by stunning the 1-2 rank enemies and heal-stress heal during this recovery phase of the fight. This obviously doesn't work in some fights like 4 maggots or 4 dogs where you simply can't overheal-overstressheal or dodge-tank the enemies effectively. Plus, why waste one turn of the HM (which leaves the enemy target 1 or even 2 actions before it dies) by marking when you can simply attack with both the Arb and the HM in the same turn and likely kill it? (if it doesn't die you can also surely kill it with your rank 2 character like a GR, HWM or BH) And to be fair, what he says it's "good" or "bad" it's only under the crystal of "what's most efficient-effective in no-light-Stygian runs where enemies crit you like there's no tomorrow and dodge builds are ineffective" so there might be other strategies for the characters applicable and perfectly fine for lower difficulties

Interesting. I'm not actually a huge Highway Man fan, mostly due to his lack of a stun or a heal of some sort. As a general rule of thumb I like my characters to serve at least two rolls and Highway Man is just a solid damage dealer, and he's not even best in class when it comes to that roll. He just comes off as a less versatile Man at Arms to me. Man at Arms is tied for best single target stun in the game, has Riposte, guard, mark, tanks a hit better, has similiar rank flexibility and is just all around a really flexible character. Even when it comes to damage, the Highway Man doesn't always come out ahead of the Man Arms because Man at Arms can spam guard on top of Reposte for a crazy number of free moves while protecting squishies. He even simultaneously marks the enemy for your Bounty Hunter to smash face. (I often tend to run the Bounty Hunter with him for this very reason.) I think I would actually place the Highway Man at average simply because the Man at Arms can do pretty much everything he can plus a whole lot more. Maybe I just need to play with the Highway Man more to find a better niche for him, but I always end up wanting to kick my own ass for not just hiring another Man at Arms instead. I guess there are two places the Highway Man deserves his credit. His basic attack abilities have better accuracy and damage modifiers than the man at arms and more importantly he has a 2 point speed advantage at level cap, but that's not a lot of compensation for everything else he comes up short on particularly when you can just throw a single +speed trinket or quirk on the Man at Arms to bring him up to par.

Highwayman's ripostes do WAY more damage than the MAA's. Also, Duelist's Advance (to turn on the ripostes) is much better than Retribution. HWM is also much better at doing damage to rank 4. They are a very good pairing imo. The MAA can stun people (which the HWN can't do), guard the HWM when needed, and Rampart in front of him to get him off of rank 1 if needed. The HWM can dish out loads of damage (which the MAA is pretty bad at doing).

I actually think open vein is better than wicked slice. The damage difference between the two is 30% of the Highwayman's base damage, so about 4 points. But, because DoT ticks apply pre-action, the enemy hit by open vein takes 4 more damage before they can act again, meaning that they effectively do the same amount of damage upfront. The only exceptions are if the enemies have high bleed resistance, making open vein unreliable, or if you're trying to get crits. You made a good point about point blank shot, but I still think it has it's uses. I found it pretty useful against the drowned crew, because after loading Dismas up with some damage trinkets, I could consistently one shot the anchorman with it right after it used the anchor.

I'm a bit late, but Riposte on Wilbur doesn't trigger Enraged Destruction from the Biggy Piggy. However, if you end up KILLING Wilbur with Riposte, Biggy Piggy will go nuts. So to sum it up, it's very inadvisable. Riposte can still crit, and even has a higher crit modifier on higher levels. If you end up "accidently" murdering Wilbur, Biggy Piggy might just "accidently" murder your entire party. If you don't have someone debuffing his DMG, that is.

I see no down side of surprising your enemy. Just kill the ones you can kill (usually the fast ones) and stun the rest Its very easy to go through a fight without being hit once.
@Murkglow7 жыл бұрын
You can't always be sure you'll hit and they won't resist the stuns, that's generally the fear. The downside to Surprise is if you go and fail to kill/stun alot of the enemy team, the enemy gets to go all and once and then in the next round they could all roll high and all go again (that's potentially 8 actions in a row without you getting a chance to respond). Sure that's worse case scenario but Filthy is basing his advice around avoiding worst case scenarios. Those are the ones that generally get your team killed, not average scenarios.
@favorx1837 жыл бұрын
"You can't always be sure you'll hit and they won't resist the stuns," So what thats an issue even if you don't surprise. Just the luck of the game. "next round they could all roll high and all go again" Thats why you Dont run 3 crusaders and a leper.
@Murkglow7 жыл бұрын
"So what thats an issue even if you don't surprise. Just the luck of the game." Indeed but with your turn and their turn mixed in you can respond to their actions if needed. The downside to Surprise is the enemy getting many attacks all together without you getting to respond. And yes, that's an example of bad luck striking but bad luck is exactly how you lose characters, not average luck. Surprise can make bad luck worse than it would normally be. "Thats why you Dont run 3 crusaders and a leper." Speed is randomized to an extent as well. Your Jester (for example) can go after enemies he naturally has higher speed than, it's just down to the rng. Again it would be bad luck for that to happen but bad luck is what you're trying to mitigate on higher difficulty levels (or no death/challenge runs). It all comes down to Surprise can make your bad luck worse and isn't necessarily very useful even when it doesn't hurt you. He's just saying that it isn't an entirely beneficial effect.
@favorx1837 жыл бұрын
"The downside to Surprise is the enemy getting many attacks all together without you getting to respond" Ok then don't press the "pass" button on all 4 of your characters when you get a surprise. "Indeed but with your turn and their turn mixed in you can respond to their actions if needed." As i said "kill the ones you can and stun the rest" That is literally what i do when i get a surprise. Why "counter" there actions when you can Literally not give them 1? Surprise removes All the luck out of turn order and throws it entirely in your favor. Are you telling me that if all my characters had 99 speed that would be a nerf? because if so we can just stop now.
@Murkglow7 жыл бұрын
"Are you telling me that if all my characters had 99 speed that would be a nerf? because if so we can just stop now." No, because in that situation on the second turn your team would also go first (the RNG isn't that big). At 99 speed you would always go first every single round. That's not what Surprise is, nor is it why Surprise can get your own characters killed. It's not going first on the first round of combat that can be a problem, it's what can happen at the end of the first round and the beginning of the second. The fact that your characters don't have 99 speed (and given monsters can get quite fast, they have a decent chance to go before you no matter what you do, outside of extreme trinket speed maxing) means it's not even unlikely that after a surprise round the surviving monsters can often go again immediately often leading to multiple consecutive enemy actions.

Darkest dungeon is one of the very few games where aoe dmg is almost useless... for many reasons. But my number 1 reason why i would say aoe is bad in this game its because it even combined deals less dmg than a single target abilities. Honestly if the aoe was atleast more dmg spread on.. then it might have had its usage but like this its kinda meh. Often times you want to reduce any incoming dmg as fast as posible and also againt bosses its only good for trash and even then you might want to focus the boss anyways. So yeah aoe dmg is kinda garbage.
