  • Going through many of the Augments
    What they do, how they help your pawn be what you want them to be
    One Correction - Proficiency only reduces Stamina by 25% and Conservation reduces Stamina by 15%. I think I said half, which would be 50%.... Woops

    i had no idea trajectory would make pawns use bows more- that's amazing. And now i finally know the toxicity skill doesn't make poison stronger, just faster to proc... that's a shame, honestly. But the fact that these augments effect pawn behavior just like inclinations is a massive breakthrough to me.

    • @Nihil0.0
      @Nihil0.0  5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Mildly yes. Consider the Inclinations the most impact, and then augments are the fine tuning

    Subbed. Great video; very informative. I never gave much thought to the possibility that augments might influence a Pawn's behaviour in any significant way. Might explain why my sorcerer kept getting smacked in the mouth. I thought putting Bastion on her might make her less squishy but it turns out it was just encouraging her to get into physical range in the first place.
    Whoops.

    @Nihil0.0  6 ปีที่แล้ว +56

    I knew I would miss-state something or forget some detail. And I did a few. I will never claim that know everything about this game. I know a fair amount, and I like to share what I know, but I do feel pretty shitty when my info is wrong.
    - Conservation is 15% reduction of Stamina, and does NOT apply to Spellbows or Magic Shields.
    - Proficiency is a 25% reduction of Stamina.
    - Ferocity is any Core Skill. Which a single slash from a Sword or Dagger, and so on would apply. But that is a 10% for attacks that are not used very often, for the most part. Focused Bolt and Sword with Perfect Block are exceptions, however you get the gain from Vehemence with a broader gain toward all attacks.

    @duffduffington843 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I'm not sure if this was mentioned, but I believe "Grit" also allows you to move, while stamina is depleted. Without it you are anchored to the ground.

    • @Whitebreadonly
      @Whitebreadonly ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I just pause it, unequip a weapon, and reequip it. Then you can move again, but you’ll still need to wait a few seconds for your stamina to go back up if you want to sprint again though. However, you can still just rinse and repeat, and spam a skill over and over. It also works if you’re a low level with a BBI weapon/armor equipped. See, all weapons have a level requirement to equip them. If you don’t meet the requirement for your currently equipped weapon, the game will rapidly drain your stamina even with just normal use. This works with any weapon, at any level, and any skill can still be used if your stamina is near empty, as long as your stamina is at least 1, you can still use a skill.

    @pedrosg7628 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks for the video.
    I just want to point out one thing about Sanctuary:
    1st - The augment Sanctuary is supposed to increase M.Def and Def. by 20% when on red, but it's probably bugged.
    With that augment on when you are at red health most physical attacks will do around 1 damage, while magic attacks will still have around the same power. So it probably increases your physical defence by a number higher than 20% and ignores your M.Def. (Tested on cursed dragon: Breath killed me. Hits and grabs did 1 damage. Bites did around 10 damage, low def character).

    • @Nihil0.0
      @Nihil0.0  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is interesting Pedro. I never noticed the magic vs physical, especially the Cursed Dragon's breath. I am now curious about more details.

    • @pedrosg7628
      @pedrosg7628 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah.
      This augment basically trivializes exhilaration play as long as you avoid all magic attacks. You can just tank physical ones. Sadly I don't really have extra detail.
      By running around with the augment active I noticed that I barelly take damage from physical (1 most of the time, only specially powerful attacks break the threshold to give me from 10 to 30 damage (30 was the highest that I've seen)) while magic still deals around the same amount of damage.

      Nice Justin. Pawns can be stubborn learners, but there are 3 major things that will make them who they are 1) Inclinations 2) Augments 3) equipped skills the fourth is habits they learn from watching you. If you stay back, they stay back, if you loot, they loot, if you climb, they climb.

    00:45 So, the Augment gets nihiled?
    01:50 I wouldn't say that this augment is useless. I like to think of it as doing its role in the play very, very poorly.
    02:01 So.... Using augments on pawns is like messing with their minds. Maybe thiese augments are some kind of drug aimed at making a pawn do something?
    02:23 But without fitness how will I look good for the babes? Or compared to my buffed up pawns I will look nice, sleek and mysterious?

    06:35 Only a volley of arrows can save you from a ManEater.
    07:21 I like this one. I usually keep my items for myself and I don't let my pawns hold them. Also one never knows when one may need something, but usually everything goes fine without using anything that is in your inventory.

    10:23 Well, at least it is a pawn's drug.
    10:44 And the other helping wheel for training Perfect Block
    10:54 More drugs!
    12:03 For these last four I imagine something like this: A warrior is channeling Arc and then an earthquake strickes. The warrior is just standing there yelling on top of his lungs of the damage he takes and still charges.
    13:30 This is not fair! The magick one is 15% weaker!

    Hey Nihil, dunno if you know it or not but i read on the wiki that with the augment "leg strenth" there is actually a hidden level of capacity. If you are already very light and use this augment you are in a "extreme light" mode, but i think stamina usage and all that is copied from "Very light" the only thing that changes is your movement speed which is increased by like 5%.. so not all that significant but still.. just to let you know :P

    It's not actually a chance to debilitate with any of the status effects, it's a build up. Without morbidity, it takes around 3-4 arrows to proc blindness on one of the oxen outside Gran Soren. With Morbidity, it takes only 2. It was consistent, each and every time. I'm only saying 3-4 cause my memory on it is a little fuzzy, but yeah, it's a build up, not a chance. Also, don't ask why I was testing this on those defenseless cows.

    Never knew that Bastion and most other augments affected pawn AI. I have a sorc pawn with Bastion and Fortitude. Is that why he keeps going into melee instead of charging his powerful spells? For example, when a goblin tries to sound a horn, he will literally walk up to that goblin to spam normal attacks trying cancel the horn and fail miserably. Also, instead of immediately charging a spell at the beginning of a fight, he will literally place himself in the middle of 5 hobgoblins before charging a spell, which is both infuriating and hilarious.

    Really don't like how long it takes to escape a grapple without egression. Feels like the game was designed around having that equipped, but if you play it safe or have pawns open chests, it only sometimes comes up. Usually it's still faster to let pawns smack the person grabbing you, unless it's a garm, but that's it.

    I changed the order of both my Ranger’s and Strider’s augments and people who hired them noticed an immediate difference, so thank you.
    Quick question: If Oblivion Hood (‘Increases Strength when noticed by large group of enemies’) is worn by a Strider in addition to Vehemence and Clout augments will the pawn get even more boost to damage while climbing? Is the cap based on the pawn’s base strength or after all strength boosting items are added to that ie Framae Blades, Oblivion Hood, etc. I’d like your thoughts. This would really help me explain it to a few people. Thanks in advance

    • @Nihil0.0
      @Nihil0.0  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Armor boosts are applied with the consideration of innate stats, augments and weapons. The augments have a cap of 80, but the 10% boost from the helmet is after total. So if you have 500 stat, 1500 weapon and 80 cap from augs, you will still get an additional from the helmet.
      But also, Strider already gets a 50% boost while climbing. This used to be added as part of the 80 cap, but recently a patch fixed it to where Strider can get still a 50 boost while climbing, even with a 80 cap from augs.

      It may have been May of 18. I tested it often, and it was always included as part of the 80 cap, but 2 months ago, when I tested it last the Stider's 50 boost was separate of the 80 cap. I love Stider for that reason, because I enjoy the climbing so much. Favorite part.

    I played DA back when it was first released on the ps3; I didn’t realize how just much augments affected your pawns behaviour patterns. I recently started a MA, using your 606/605 build. If I run my pawn as a ranger, is their a set-up in which she can play as both a ranged, as well a close combat tactician (one in which she knows the difference between, and when to use them properly)........Or maybe; I should roll her as a warrior, and give her the “stamina hammer “, and let her collect agro. ‘Not sure if that’s the correct term’.
    As an Assassin, I might be able to try training her in Ranger combat tactics. I don’t plan on playing either fighter, or warrior, until my character is maxed.

    • @Nihil0.0
      @Nihil0.0  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can get a Ranger to do both, but the Inclinations will be more important than the augments. Maybe one augment that encourages Bow use, like Trajectory, or Precision, or Damping, and one augment for up close, such as Bastion, or ferocity.
      Aggro Warrior is an awesome choice too. Stamina Hammer is pretty affective. Bastion, and Egression.
      Assassin would be able to train a Ranger, and a Warrior or Fighter as well, but not as easily as a Ranger.

    • @BooDawggs
      @BooDawggs 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the quick reply. I’m thinking that an agro-warrior is better for early game; whereas a Ranger would be more beneficial for the latter game. In your opinion, which inclinations would you suggest : scather, challenger........challenger, mitigator .......or something else. I understand that the order of inclinations is important; does the same rule apply towards your pawns augmentations; do they have to be placed in the order in which you would prefer combat to occur: ranged vs close quarter.

    • @Nihil0.0
      @Nihil0.0  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For Ranger, I would say either Mitigator or Challenger as Primary. Utilitarian as Secondary, and either Mitigator or Challenger as Tertiary. You can try Utilitarian as Primary, but from my observations that confuses Ranger as to use Daggers or Bow, and they tend to spam dodge roll until they find their spot. Like a dog, when he circles the sofa 17 times before he lies down.
      For Warrior, ….. well, any are pretty good, except Aquisitor, or Nexus, and sometimes Guardian. Scather would be good as Secondary, Challenger would be as Primary or Secondary. Pioneer, could be good as Secondary or Tertiary. Utilitarian could be good as Secondary or Tertiary.
      There are really lots of options. it will take trial and error with focused observations and comparisons. But you will notice differences, and then it will click when you see it.

      I don't look at the wiki too much, as it was often loaded with wrong info. But I have never tested the numbers of Magic Shield or Spellbow. I just relied on visual diminishing of the orange stamina bar. It could be that way, and it would make sense. I just checked the wiki now, and the comment s are saying the same thing. Proficiency does not work on bows, that I one feel confident about. Also I said Half instead of 25% and 15%, that was one of the F ups that I missed. I figured I would have some things that were off a little or missing the proof or facts. There's just so many things and differences with each Augment. I am going to pin a comment with the updated info. Thanks for the comment Rion

      Yes, all of the attacks of the basic increase by 10% I may have miss worded it. The problem though, is vehemence or attunement is a 10% for all instead of just limited core. And also, ferocity will make your pawn limited in return.

    Inflection is actually bugged. It doubles damage rathet than halves it.
    Damping actually does work for magick bows. Ive tested it and it is slightly faster firing.
    Also, its Strider and Assassin that does less further from target. Rangers optimal distance is farther.
    Sanctuary isnt an increase in defense, but rather a decrease in damage. By like 99.9%. I never use MK without it, otherwise Id always be dead.
    Impact works just fine in my experience. Unless the bug is that it works for everything.
    Preemption will stack with normal preemption damage, but the increase is minimal. For the first hit at least on most enemies.
    I dont think Adhesion and Opportunism say climb enemies. Made my pawn a strider with both equipped and she kept just attacking on the ground.

      1. "Damping actually does work for magic bows. I've tested it and it is slightly faster firing." That's NOT Damping, damping reduces recoil, "Facility" increases bow RoF. (Damping doesn't work for magic bows because there is no recoil to begin with, and Facility does work however its such a minuscule amount its not worth an augment slot)
      2. "Also, its Strider and Assassin that does less further from target. Rangers optimal distance is farther." The rule also applies to Rangers, Striders/Assassins are close range archers, Rangers are Mid range archers, the only Long range archer is Magic Archer...(though not by much)
      3. "Impact works just fine in my experience. Unless the bug is that it works for everything." That is the point he stated in the video.
