You've made the incorrect assumption that a lot of people would be enthusiastic at answering a survey with 200+ questions which you also have to log in through Google to answer. It's simply a lot of work, especially since not everyone is going to be using all 200 skills in one run. I'm surprised you got 6.

This is a really awesome idea. I love this game, and I love getting others opinions on it... but.... it's way too long. Maybe just have a list of all the skills for each class and have each person pick their top 3. Then compile a list of those 3 in each respective category and have each skill rated on a scale of 1-5 or whatever parameters you want.

And I think some skills should have a rating option of "bugged/ not working as intended" I've ran across a few skills like this. cryogenic stasis for one..

I made no incorrect assumption, I knew it would be hard from the start frown
For logging to answer the survey, I did not have much choice since the other option was to fill the poll again every time you wanted to see everybody's answer.
By the way we have 8 people now. We are getting 2-3 answers a day which is fine.

You will not have an analysis as interesting as this one if you do so but if we still have too few answers at the end of next week I might change the poll to make it quicker.

Yeah I know but it would become too complicated with too many answers. For now, I rate them as they are right now and will change my answer later.

You should maybe consider posting a link to your survey on the dos reddit if you want to get a better coverage. Also, your survey is missing the inner demon skill, but I am NOT filling in this entire thing another time, so don't scrap all the responses due to that please. I would have rated it 4/5.

No option for honour mode difficulty? It's literally the only one I play. I'll fill this out later, looks cool.

There isn't really any difference between honour mode and tactician. I have played both, its just the, "don't die" difference and that is it. As an aside, the reason I rank living on the edge so low is because there are a few enemies that bypass the immunity and you cannot afford to rely on it in honour mode.

I'll post it on reddit tomorrow then. First time using it.
Thanks for all your advices smile

@Sharp : I removed inner demon or the summon poison blob because those are skilled linked to the story. And I am not scrapping the answers ever again !

@Alexstrasza: Thanks for your time smile I know this survey is long but at least the people doing it will be rewarded by accessing the results anytime. And I find them quite interesting, I might give a shot at several skills I did not considered before.

Funny...

"Raise bone widow" is just useless for me when I got "Conjure Incarnate"...
And I "thought death wishes" should go with "living on edge".

The bone widow is still a strong skill even after the nerf. And someone fighting with the bone widow can save memory slots by not using (incarnate)+(Power infusion)+(Farsight infusion)+...
But the incarnate is rated higher anyways.

I don't know for other people but I find death wish really underwhelming. It costs 2AP and the multiplier is not what it should be. For example, when I use it with 50% life, I do only 20% more damages. It is not worth the 2AP cost in most cases which could have been invested in another attack doing 100% damage.

Ill talk about scoundrel, and necro. that are the only things i played after full release:

Scoundrel, best 3 in order:
1 - Backlash: do 85% damage, get backstab position, high range, only 1 ap? xD
2 - Mortal blow: use backlash to go behind target, use chameleon cloak, buff weapon with poison, instakill anyone for 2 ap. Of course it uses 3 SP, but just suck everyone u pass by and ure fine
3 - Sawtooth knife/rupture tendons: Rupture is great cuz AI is dumb and keep running/teleporting, otherwise it wouldnt be so good. Sawtooth gets ALL THE DAMAGE U WOULD DO summed it, and do it as piercing damage, and also sets bleeding, for only 2 ap, its easy to hit for tons of damage if u have both weapons coated with poison, having runes and then using venom coating skill.

Worst 3:

1 - Gag order
2 - Corrupted blade
3 - Fan of knives

obs: Wind up toy is good, just forget using most summons if u dont have summoning levels. Artillery plant can one-shot every enemy on the fight simultanely if u have 14+ summoning.

Necromancer:

Best 3:

Well necro use a lot of combos, but i will try to separate stuff.

1 - Raise Bone Widow: That crap is just too strong if u dont have any summoning levels, atleast for tanking.
2 - Bone Cage: Need 2k shields for 1ap? cool use that.
3 - Living on the edge: Pretty good, only 2 ap if u use elemental affinity.

Worst 3:

1 - Infect: Hey, disease that guy and your entire party, nothing can go wrong!
2 - Silencing stare: Its not that bad, but 2 ap just for silencing when ppl are out of magic armor is meh.
3 - Black Shroud: Same stuff.

I personally find sawtooth pretty average. I find it better to strip off the armor of an enemy to be able to CC him. And if you did not kill him with swatooth, you will have to destroy his armor anyways so...
Concerning your poison coating, I think it is useless since it will lightly hit the magical armor when I am doing physical damages. I always coat my weapons with poison because I like to feel optimized but it is 99,9% useless in DOS2.

By the way, it is rare for someone to not mention Adrenaline ^^
Do you not like the skill ?

Concerning wind-up toy, I prefer using my AP with skills more effective. And there a lot of skill way better than that. If I want to AoE, I do Battlestomp or whildwind (that can even backstab :p).
