Well done and thank you for your comment/effort. I, naturally love the game but I loose interest somewhere around level 11and just start a new game. I cannot understand why the challenge to arrive at the end eludes me. Yet I have well over 800 odd game play hours up.
Okay, you do mention that you won't repeat the experiment with a Swordsman, but if you were, to how would the build be? Also, to my knowledge there is no sword that heals. So how to compensate there?
@@alfarabi73 i think a swordsmen build lookes like: Protector, valorous duel, bulwark, master opportunist, second weapon, class spec: Duellist instinct. the armourset is the same + heater shield. weapon and armourlayer depend on the situation: need more dmg --> crit build with Defenders falchion (gain riposte on crit) oil: +15% AoO dmg and +10% crit dmg use the +15% crit hit armourlayers to reach the 100%. and use the "spare buckles" beltgear to regain the 5 movement. second weapon (with AoE or double attack) with strenght and shield oil if you need more tankyness --> fire build with gladius of the fire (AoE weapon, if it hits 2or more set the ground on fire) Oil: strenght and shield swap duelist instict with hardcore training. use the +40 armour layers and use the "blinding glare" beltgear to ignore gurad. second weapon: strongblade with +15% AoO dmg and +50% dmg vs burning targets
@@Ausonis Brilliant, my friend! I don't know what Spare Buckles does - or where I can get it. Remember, I am still a newb! ;) By the way, does Deflection stack with either Rivalry or Protection? Wouldn't that give you 100 percent mitigation or close to it?
@@alfarabi73 all effects with different names apply in a confusing Order at the Same time but dont "Stack". You cant reach 100% DMG reduction. My observation is: If you have 70% DMG reduction and 30% DMG reduction:. 100 Dmg - (70% of 100)=30 30 Dmg -(30% of 30) ~10 You Take 10dmg. Or 100dmg -(30% of 100)=70 70dmg - (70% of 70) = 21 You Take 21 Dmg. I dont know the Order. But that is Important for the result. In my experience: buffs Trigger First. Passive stats second.

Also, where/how do you get Saurian Brooch?
Pirates dlc, i think you can buy the recepie to craft them
from Belerion DLC. dont know the loot spot, but you find it if you complete the region
@@Ausonis Thanks; I was doing Drombach first. And people only mention the crit brooches from the Pirates DLC. So no wonder I missed these.
Can't you do the same as what your "Gloin" is doing with a Fighter?

the armourset is the same + heater shield.
weapon and armourlayer depend on the situation:
need more dmg -->
crit build with Defenders falchion (gain riposte on crit)
oil: +15% AoO dmg and +10% crit dmg
use the +15% crit hit armourlayers to reach the 100%. and use the "spare buckles" beltgear to regain the 5 movement.
second weapon (with AoE or double attack) with strenght and shield oil
if you need more tankyness -->
fire build with gladius of the fire (AoE weapon, if it hits 2or more set the ground on fire)
Oil: strenght and shield
swap duelist instict with hardcore training.
use the +40 armour layers and use the "blinding glare" beltgear to ignore gurad.
second weapon: strongblade with +15% AoO dmg and +50% dmg vs burning targets

@@Ausonis Also, I didn't realize you can pick 2 sub-class skills! Wow!

You cant reach 100% DMG reduction.
My observation is:
If you have 70% DMG reduction and 30% DMG reduction:.
100 Dmg - (70% of 100)=30
30 Dmg -(30% of 30) ~10
You Take 10dmg.
Or
100dmg -(30% of 100)=70
70dmg - (70% of 70) = 21
You Take 21 Dmg.
