...

This strikes me as somewhat stupid to have 5 damage reduction on everything all the time.

Seem legit. Let me just go and make wolves which are naturally tough not have any damage reduction. Seems like the smart thing to do.

Obviously that was sarcasm. Mooks will tend to have Player level Natural Armor. This will be a given.

[Twinwolf]

This seems to be a rather dangerous first combat. Just noting that.

Yeah, pretty much, considering we haven't tested the bloody thing and we had no warning that the things were only weak to AoE.

But...Wolves aren't mooks, unless there's something you're not telling us, they're more trash mobs.  It's INSANE to think that a knife will just... Slide off a wolf!

And Niamh only being able to do 1, 2, or 3 damage, less than half the time, against mooks and trash mobs, strikes me as underpowered even for a healer.

I'm not saying no DR, I'm saying not 5 DR because that's just a bit too much suspension of disbelief.  2 or 3 sounds like a more reasonable number.  Alternatively, I would like to buff Niamh's damage to levels where she will actually DO some.

I was more thinking it was because they can pin people who are already in small teams. The AOE thing makes sense since we're attacking groups and not individual wolves, but still it's just the first combat.

[TheBiggerFish]

The "AoE thing" would make a bit more sense if the packs weren't statted as a single unit.

[kj1225]

I personally think this reinforces the idea of the game quite well. It's supposed to be deadly, there's a reason Sanure gave us all a free revive from the start.

[Twinwolf]

I wasn't by any means complaining, just noting that it was dangerous for a first combat. At least team two killed a group in their first turn. Still, I actually feel that they're in danger, and that's rather different from Trespassers.

Although that might just be because I'm not playing a tank in this one.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

I don't like how we weren't alerted that those enemies could only be hurt by aoe until after the fact.

[TheBiggerFish]

I don't like that the unit is not a unit.

If you want to have more than one unit per enemy entry, they should be written as such, not...Whatever this is.

Like...

Howling Wolf Pack: 20 HP x2 9 SP x2.

I messed up on the specific formatting details, but...Seriously.

[Sanure]

Lol. Since when did I say it wasn't multiple enemies in a single grouping? They have low HP individually. howver, together they form a dangerous pack.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Wolf run is literally better then a lot of the player damaging skills.

[Sanure]

*shrugs* I'm not going to say the weakness of an enemy you just met. That doen't sound grimdark to me at all :/

@ATH, Then again, most players aren't 10 wolves.

[Twinwolf]

...Wolf Run is literally the same thing as their other skill Onslaught but with less damage.

Also, does giving people items (as in, giving them the item, not using it) take an action?

[TheBiggerFish]

Or whatever.

Not...Randomly splitting them into groups or whatever and then not subdividing the groups.

Where's their perk for subdividing, anyway?
