I only fight Knilles when im one level above him and his crew.
Its not a mandatory fight so im not that concerned about that. I can come back to Knilles later. But, as i said in other thread, this reminds me of an early ea version where enemies were just too buffed to have any kind of normal gameplay.
I generally accept that enemies are much stronger then me in the prison, and i want it that way because i want to feel as if i am in a prison - which makes escape all that much more necessary.
Are you having those fights while your team is on the same level, or one bellow enemies? How does it feel if you are one level above enemy levels?
It's on the same level. On EA, I used to do it below with ease because of the extra Wit and even if Knilles does get to act, his damage wasn't that riduclous.
But the problem is right there on tactician, the damage. There's almost no source of damage mitigation in our game outside elemental so when a level 4 knilles can deal almost 150 damage in a single turn while everything else around that level deals 35-40, that's a big "wtf". There's no tactic in that, just "Can you CC him before he gets to act and kill one of you" unless you already have good gears.
Not to mention the fight forces the special silent monk to join in now.
