There is also the bonus from the int 50 (and possibly a int 100) perk. Also the damage will continue to grow very fast as we increase our skill level (which is easy until level ~10).Malcolmo said:
While it's true that energy bolt will get stronger it's no longer quite as cut and dry as to which will do more damage. Melee has kept up with it even without taking into consideration weapon damage or piercing proficiency. And that's just our standard attack, if we use power attack we'd spend as much mana as if we'd used energy bolt but do even more damage. And power attack levels as well and benefits from us getting into more combat since that'd increase our weapon proficiency thus increasing damage.Graig said:
No melee damage do not keep up, especially not when perks are taken into account (the int 50 perk among other things gave +30% to the effect of mana using skills and +5% to magic attacks).Malcolmo said:
Do you honestly believe that we aren't going to get perks for our other stats? We'd likely get perks for all our stats anyway and at last check power attack was a mana using skill so that'd have gotten boosted as well.Graig said:
While yes there are benefits to having a ranged attack said ranged attack is going to be less useful when things close in, at which point going melee would be more useful as we do more damage there.
You do need high stats to get those perks. The leading plan does not reach 50 in any stat.Malcolmo said:
As far as we know there is nothing preventing us from using mana bolt at short range. Also we can research spells suitable for close combat if necessary.
Will start now, might take a while though.kinglugia said:
My point was that melee damage would be able to keep up with energy bolt in terms of perks as well. And while we won't be getting a perk yet it puts us in a position to be able to unlock quite a few at once. Not to mention we can level up stats via hard work which should make that easier as well.Graig said:
Considering that you were one of the people who forced the rest to either consolidate behind a suboptimal distribution or risk a suicidally retarded one winning, I'm not sure you have a right to complain.Robotninja said:

We use magic and melee.
Amusingly enough the current build would likely do more damage with a powerstrike then the 100 int build could do with an energy bolt.Selias said:
Niiiice. Giant rats, here we come! Orkinglugia said:Sewers or woods huh...
This dice roll has been tampered with!
Rolled 1d100 : 90, total 90 For sewer encounter if it wins...
Woods mob is decided.
Sewer may have this or that...

As per word of GM initial enemies are not hard. As such, the build was not suicide, it is simply maximizing skill gain. SB hyper paranoia where everything is treated as Dark Souls and people are cowardly idiots afraid to take any risks even when there can be excellent rewards is one of the worst parts of quests.Pipeman said:

IIRC it also does it if you preview. Which made checking to see if you'd done everything right less then fun.ShadowAngelBeta said:
Except it wasn't, since per word of GM skills don't work that way.Robotninja said:
You are now entering a Dungeon World.
Would you like to save beforehand?
