Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Some thoughts on the skill Rage and melee

I think the efficiency would be neutral AP wise, if you would use it with 2 AP attacks (2-hand or Dual wield). It gives 50% bonus, so you would deal 150% damage at the cost of 3 AP, 150% AP costs. Can be worth if it the damage would be enough do kill an enemie and you would not have 4 AP for two attacks. But is it worth one trait point?

Regardless I still finde sneaking during fight in most cases pretty ridiculous.

Anyway, Rage:



All of these changes seem like decent ones to make a more balanced skill than it is now.

I've found this to be true for regular attacks. One also gets a stronger opening attack, which in my opinion is the biggest reason to get it.

The other big way it helps out is that it synergizes with abilities, which have cooldowns. Being able to add 50% more damage for 1 AP to something you can only do once every 3 rounds, etc. allows you to spend less time doing weaker basic attacks.

Also, the 3 cost abilities and Source point cost abilities make Guerilla efficient when using them even w/o the cooldown consideration.

Because of this, I like the Guerilla talent.

Nah, just calling you out when you're blatantly wrong or where it needs clarification. You most likely took offense at my somewhat terse post and I also expected you to keep your word and leave. I forgive you, we can move on.

Anyways, the point is addressed by Kalrahk. Efficiency is meaningless without proper context, it makes it hard to figure out the actual value of something - that's the danger of looking at something in isolation (which you fell right into).

If you want to a drop a 'meaning bomb' on me in this thread then all you needed to do here was to prove that there are too few points where sneaking is not worth it making guerilla far too niche.

Instead, you opted to do a link back to a mostly irrelevant (I am being generous here) post that really doesn't move the discussion forward at all.

We cool now?

I know you posted that: I was counter it with the fact that others have stated and tested otherwise. Don't look at me *shrug* I could care less. I'm neither defending it or not

Also, me and you have done the whole AP economy of guerilla back and forth many times. We've also done it on one handed vs dual wielding for rogues

You -> doesn't add enough damage and is only marginally useful on dual wielding

Me -> for players that sneak a lot in combat it becomes free extra damage cause guerilla isn't the focus on sneaking but a side benefit, thus no reason to not have it. And it price every turn

You -> why so much sneaking instead of attacking?

Me -> avoid detection and out maneuver AI

You -> they'll fix that

Me -> they will, but it should only make it so that someone must actually heavily invest in the damn stat to do what we currently can with one point in it

/semi-rant done

:P just didn't want to give ya the last word.

Also, Limz is kind of arrogant but I'm pretty sure he does it on purpose since he enjoys forum battles

All Hail The God Emperor Limz!!!

Rage really just shouldn't be so universally good. Honestly, it should be made to serve a niche and then left alone

Removing auto Crit from it and making a decent Crit mult. and Crit chance boost along with having it make the user very vulnerable is my proposal
