This video also shows something else I think. You can't measure the knowledge you have of an enemy, but it is at least as important as any number the game shows you.
Wow. I'm a numbers guy, and the way you distinguish how much percent the stats actually matter is very unique. Very well done, and I appreciate the time you took to do this. Thank you sir.
I usually don't care about growth stats. I just keep my weapons upgraded and unlock all the augments I want post-grigori from the Gran Soren guards. Any augment that increases strength and/or magic by 20% is a must.
Before beating Grigori stat growth actually matters a lot since the equipment is weak and you need to break through defense. But also, that part of the game isn't that hard so it's not important.
Would be very curious to see any meaningful changes for those attempting to make use of the World Difficulty Mod on PC. I've been really appreciating the greater focus on hard targeting weaknesses after being gone from the game for half a decade and relearning it, though naturally feels bad when you're quite literally doing 0 / 1 point of damage due to not breaching the threshold until you're established. But honestly what's been the single BEST part of coming back has been using dinput8 to make spot adjustments here and there for things you normally would not be able to change or easily fine-tune, such as Vocation level progression for you and your Pawn, and refined Inclination values (even those of your Hired Pawns, to *really* try out some potential power parties). The whole experience has been an absolute blast and much less stressful getting wrapped up in potentially making the "wrong" decisions at a given time.
In addition to this, as far as I understand every point of 'stat given' defense is worth 2 'gear given' defense in the damage formula Just something for people to consider when it comes to the traditional 'min maxing for offense' advice - It's even less obviously winner if taking damage or dying matters to you
easy to conclude that if you're not setuping you can play however you want without losing much. Reminds me of your old 11 lvl rotation recom back in thr day.
I originally played as sorc but dont think i min maxed while leveling others. Coming back im wondering if i should remake for a pure stamina build? And carry weight. Cause with augments and weapons i see most things can be changed. But stamina carry seem to be more hard coded?
Hard. Although if this is your 1st introduction to the game, you might consider normal. This game will punish inexperience. Once you can play in hard & thrive, there is no looking back.
So the different is ~20% dmg between 190 lvl MA and 190 lvl Sor. It even bigger different if you use rusted wp a lot. Finally you can't easy change your stats growth like wp or augments.

Goddamn Nihil, this is the content I’m here for. Can’t wait for your expertise & analysis when DD2 drops.
I love how You love this game.
Truth. I can only imagine how many times he's run through this game with different mindsets and angles. Impressive to say the least.

@@hyperonmonster Nobody plays in hard mode before beating Grigori for the first time
@@histhoryk2648 I am only play hard mode ever since my first play through.
Ya I typically play hard modes. Makes it easier to find bad strategies and such earlier. U don't want to learn 100h in u been playing wrong
@@histhoryk2648 speak for yourself. I exclusively play in hard mode in all of my playthroughs, haven’t touched normal mode since the ps3 days.

Hey nihil0.0, can you rank your favorite vocation to least favorite vocation?
I am also interested to see this list
Didn't he do that. Strider is his favorite. Mage is the least I recall
Oh I didn’t know that- I’m new to this channel. I have only been playing this game less than a month.
He said strider was his favorite but idk about the rest
and im here waiting for dragons dogma 2 without the console to use it. sadge rip switch users
Hard mode or normal?
Always hard mode
IMO Hard or normal mode only different much in the early game when your level below 50 and have no BBI gear.
@@Kenichi_Ngoenemy knockdown and stagger resistance is pretty significantly different in my experience.
