Anyone else feel like Fighter is almost completely useless?

Hmm Ancient Claymore has a cooldown of 5 Seconds, but Bane is 6.3 not 10 seconds.

Special attacks have separate cooldowns from regular attacks. Bane's special has a cooldown of about 12 seconds so it's not nearly as good as it looks at first glance.

[Darklord]

Ah interesting!

Daniel.

It's not a 12 second cooldown. It's just an additional 2.5 seconds on top of the weapons normal cooldown (which is 6.3 for Bane IIRC), so you'd have an 8.8s cooldown.

*NVM this I was wrong as shown by console info from minmay.

Uh, it definitely is not an 8.8 second cooldown. You can see this by trying it in-game with a stopwatch, or better, by typing this in the console:

Code: Select all

print(spawn("bane").devastate:getCooldown())

which prints this:

12.6

Yes, Bane's special attack cooldown is about 13 secs but it can be reduced to 10 with Quick trait (or dodge 3) + Bracelet of Tirin

Oh wow I wish I would've known that command when I was doing my testing. Are there commands that show the actual damage calculation for the special abilities? Like Devastate, Harvest Time, Cleave, etc?

Seems to have everything but I don't know what to look for.

Meh I disagree. My fighter pwns. He has maxed heavy weapons & acc and 3 in concentration. A neck with + mana and the pearl shield. I can charge 3 x the heavy weapon in a fight wich hits OMG hard. think of 800 a 900 dmg. Ofcourse i made all strenghts potion with my alchy and gave it to him
Wizard is handy too. Specialy later in game ( spam the unbreakable cage next to ur party if ur conerd and frost bomb the other side. No harm done:D. An alchemy is a must for fightings I think. Because of all the strengh potions. And frost bombs x3 a are kinda OP making boss fights so easy.
