@@couchpotatoe91 I'm just saying some mods change how quirks work. So you can lock 5. That's one of the best things about PC video games. You should see my game. I cheat like crazy because it's fun to me. I successfully removed nearly all negative quirks from the game. I changed the chance to 0% I also have 5 trinkets slots :D 7 active combat skills (that's an easy one.) And a 32 slot inventory. The 16 slot default inventory sucks. I hate dropping things due to arbitrary game restrictions. It's like I'm playing an MMO and they want more money to unlock more space lol.

I think you undervalue prot here. The prot quirk is kinda weird to use, but absolutely amazing. Prot stacks in such a way that every prot threshold where you reduce enemy damage by 1 point is easier to reach than the previous one (with the exception of the first, due to how DD rounds letting you hit it at like 1% prot). Given there are absolutely no shortage of ways to get small amounts of Prot on your characters, and these effects rapidly add up, Prot is a lot more valuable than one would think. The only thing is that you do have to lean into it. Additionally, Prot has a hidden Synergy with all religious characters due to the Vestal's massive 15% prot boost to religious characters from camping. As a result, I find that I love getting Prot from my quirks immensly, as it's a simple matter to adjust their gearing and party comps to stack up the prot and watch them casually soak Swine God's attacks. The more prot you have, the better prot is, and the prot quirk is no exception, as parties built around using it are both easy to make (prot isn't rare), and ludicriously effective so long as you account for stress healing. I feel it's one of the best quirks in the game, but also one of the quirks where you need to build around it.

I remember one crusader I had with Thick skin (+10% PROT). Stack that with glittering spaulders (+15% PROT) and the Bulwark of Faith skill (+30% PROT), and give him a Fortifying Garlic (+33% bleed and blight resist), and he was damn near unstoppable.

Its interesting, although I locked this quirk in the other day on a grave robber and immediately regretted it. I was thinking I would make her less squishy, then I realised how much money I was spending, and really needed upgrades to beat the 84 week Stygian goal. Prot is ok on front line units, but only if you lean into it, like you said, a crusader would be nice with his protection ability, which also marks him. But for any other character DOT is a worse threat than DMG and 10% PROT alone is 3 less damage on a 30 hit, seems a bit of a waste when you have quirks that can give 2 speed, 5 acc, 10% damage,-10% stress, 10% scouting, bleed or blight resistance or crit quirks, which work great on every character, at all times (except scouting). That 20% PROT head trinket is always an instant sell for me, I mean even if you stack one or two characters with prot, now they cant hit stuff without accuracy or you get surprised since you dont have a scouting trinket equipped and then your tanks get sent to the back of the line while your plague doctor eats a point blank shot.

Also cleansing crystal/fortifying garlic give a huge amount of dot resistance to the point of near-immunity. Prot is absolutely amazing in combination with a resist trinket to make most characters near-immune to hitting Death's Door before a healer can top them back off. Personally I consider Prot just slightly more valuable in a vacuum to an equal amount of %maxhp, and I absolutely love max hp. In Jestal comps it's even more valuable due to vestal's camp skills. Tough Ring/Fortifying Garlic is a thing of beauty in jestal or flagester parties. Even the 5% prot on your non-religious Jester is amazing to stack with a prot trinket/quirk when you were going to cast Pray anyway for 15% on your flag(Flajestal is absurdly good against the Courtyard: it's so sustainy that I often end up no longer giving a crap about hunger checks when making my path to the boss). You can get 15% resist stat from a quirk or 10% prot from a quirk. A trinket slot can give 66 to 80 percent combined resist stats, you can't get nearly the same value in prot from a trinket slot so locking in PROT quirks is super good so you can spend only one trinket slot on dot resistance and have your tankiness quota, freeing up your other slot for either damage, stress resist or piling on more prot

Yo. Do you know that the first quest (Scout Ruins Tutorial) is a Scripted? Always the same monsters, always the same placements for loots and rewards? Ok you do know that. BUT(T) Do you know that evading the dungeon after the first little chest let the quest locked when you retry it (without passing the first week)? (Dark runs ratio; 1kgolds/heirlooms). It means basically that you can use one of your char level 1 to clear easily the two little walkers, grab two loot spawn, without using any stuff, and gaining no negative perks cos you know, you just entered the ruins, you wont be rewarded or penalised with those. But it get's better. Cos even if it's cool to repeat and repeat again the same quest, well, sanity is now rising at an alarming point, and all hope seems lost. Aragorn is now calling for a final charge and you are so fecked. So use TWO (Omagawd) chars to clear the walkers, go in the next corridor and do the next fight (easy win, 3 monsters). enter the new room (go wild and take one of the two corridor to grab the backpack) and evade. Omagawd. This time, you gained perks/quirks The week has now passed, fresh new heroes are coming to your shi.nice little hamlet looking for glory and loot! But the same scripted quest is still here, waiting to be failed again. And again. And again. And again. So now you're week 10, failing to simply do the first quest tutorial, Braining the game that just want to kill you with love, stacking those nice heirlooms to upgrade the guild (oh yes, I forgot to mention. Fail 3 times in Quick mode to open all buildings in the hamlet), and the Blacksmith. And of course the stagecoach. It's now a national sport to enter the ruins and run the fast you can to the different loot grab and get the feck out! At this point, you have (with luck and abnegation) some antiquarian who rush in, allowing you to do quick runs for 1k/2k (1m30s without loading screens cos hey, if you play on a pile of rocks shaped like a computer like me, it's more 2m30) and "Long runs" where you go for the big chest (you'll auto loot a key in the bag before entering, because you cured Reynault of his bad habbit to take YOUR stuff) (2k/5k) (5 min 45s for my lamest rush). Wow, now, you have like 40000 golds, and if lucky, you can grab a level one hero per week, fully upgraded and ready to bolster your main rosters. You won some pretty lame trinkets that a better to be sell, allowing you to clean and lock perks for your main roster. And because your god damn smart, you didn't just cleared ALL heroes and stuff. Noooo! You're a antisocial bastard and heroes are just here to go in the dungeon, get insane and get back with more LOÛT, ready to be dismissed and replaced. You are the god of that estate now, with your ability to bend the time. You can break any rules. This whole universe can die in a single deleting click of your savefiles! What a guy/gale! You know than soon, you'll be able to recruit level 2 heroes with your stage coach! And if you grew weary of doing the same dungeon again, just get some mods and do the same with.. I dunno Sunward Islands? (10kgold, same Scripting device, but loots are now randoms. you can get big, and you can get killed) BUTT TZAT SHEATING! Nope. I just read the newspaper the other day while wallking the dog that I don't have that says that is not really an exploit. Noooooo. Mods are not an exploit too. Cos you know, achievements are still here. So why do all the stuff I said instead of downloading some mods that allow you to have a complete roster of hero first week, or tweaking your heroes to make them so overpowered they can litterally enter the dungeon and pinch packs of mobs to death, screwing the Collector, the Shambler and God in the same room without ever loosing so much than an Hit point? You read this WHOOOOOOLE damn thing. So you already know the answer; You're in hell. You're here to suffer. You played this game so much, and put so much sweat and blood in it, that you're now afflicted. You're red Hooked! That's why you cant just Nuke the ruins of out existence with trebuchet build with the remain of the hamlet, burn the weald to put a nice parking instead, and just exterminatus the whole place with your space marine barge in orbit. To sume up, as a good cultist friend of mine one said: AwulUllUlu AWuuUUuUu. The Goat OUT!

I think "Mercurial" is pretty inconsequential, unless you're intentionally virtue-fishing (like Crimson Court trinket set Highwayman, for example). Base virtue chance is so low that it's generally better to avoid stress as much as possible, anyway. And honestly, I don't mind "Imposter Syndrome" that much. It doesn't proc very often.

I feel like Nervous and Thanatophobia would almost be okay on Highwayman but ONLY if you have the Crimson Court set equipped on him, as when his resolve gets tested, he gets a fairly high chance to gain a Virtue when both items are equipped. (I think it brings the Highwayman's base Virtue Chance up to 70%, before factoring in other quirks.) Sometimes, though, I'd prefer not to chance it. (Because of the 30% Chance it could still screw you over with an Affliction.)

I like to get Slayer quirks on anyone who already gets a damage bonus. Man Slayer is amazing on the Bounty Hunter, especially the higher health enemies in the Warrens and Darkest Dungeon. What I especially love is stacking damage boosts on already powerful characters. My favorite Leper and Crusader both have +20% damage from Slugger and Warrior of Light, which is just absolutely massive. I never thought about the Risktaker Quirk though. They already have low dodge and high health, so I don't mind losing that dodge for potentially 30% more damage just without Abilities or Trinkets.

Okay so I know this is a bit of an old video and this might have been said already, but Irrepressible is actually really good for Endless Harvest. Virtues make the Endless Harvest way easier, especially later on. Anything that increases the odds of a virtue in there is crucial, especially since even a single Affliction has proven time and time again to be a run killer in there. What I do is instantly lock Irrepressible if one of my Shard Mercenaries get it, and then load them up with virtue increasing trinkets like the Hero Ring and Tentacle Idol. It's an almost guaranteed Virtue if you manage to get Splendorous light and although you are sacrificing other trinkets, I do think it's worth it in the end since you can swap the trinkets around between heroes at the rest areas. I let my Jester get stressed out until they virtue, then have them swap trinkets with another hero to let them get virtued. This strategy works for me 9 times out of 10 and it made getting all the memories extremely easy.

And got was I wrong in thinking I was doing good. Your guides are really top quality and even though I did quite a lot of things right, I was missing out about quirks a lot! I took it kinda right but I never took a look at "beneficial" quirks and taking a focus of removing or trading those. Thanks a lot for your work and keep it up.

In my 1.2k hours of experience. The best quirk combos for melee or physical damage dealers are eldritch slayer (10 accuracy/ 5 crit) & man slayer, OR beast slayer & man slayer. Then the 3rd is a flavor quirk like hippocratic for Crusader or Flagellant. Having a physical damage dealer with both of those slayer combos means you can focus on damage, utility, or survivability trinkets. Missing an attack or stun at a critical moment is the single most impactful part of this game. Now for heroes like jester, plague doctor, vestal, & antiquarian speed is the most important quirk. Those heroes tend to have either a trinket that gives exceptional accuracy or has exceptional baseline accuracy.

In general, I agree with most things you said. I would still lock Unholy Slayer/Hater on the Crusader, I mean, it just makes sense. I'm not sending him anywhere else but the Ruins after all, because of his intrinsic bonuses against Unholy. Ruins Tactician might be an exaggeration though; i wouldn't lock it in. Concerning Hard Skinned vs Tough vs Luminous for survivability, I think it depends. On heroes with low base dodge, i prefer reducing the damage taken using Hard Skinned. If you think about it, this quirk somehow improves your heals, and is thus better than tough (with the exception of DOTs, which ignore PROT). On tanks with a lot of hp, Hard Skinned is reasonably a better choice. On a Flagellant, I'd lock in both Tough and Hard Skinned (they make it safer and easier for him to reach the 40% hp threshold). Luminous is great in all other circumstances (low hp, high dodge, support...). This should be locked in like 60% of all heroes.

One thing you didnt mention that I think is really good are the "X Adventurer" (-20% stress in a given region) quirks, on a class who will go to that region a lot. Ruins/Cove adventurer for plague doc, Warrens/Weald for Hellion, etc, are great locks in my opinion, because those characters will almost always be operating there and almost always be benefitting from the stress reduction. It's situational though -- I won't usually bother locking those in for (say) my vestals and occultists because they go to every region, so it's not as valuable.

Your ordering of defensive stats is quite opposite of what I consider in value. I value it in Prot > HP > Dodge because of what you mentioned you liked, being consistency. Protection is universally the best defensive stat because it lowers pretty much all on hit damage taken, then hitpoints because having more hitpoints gives you a greater window to get heals if needed, then dodge, which is the least consistent of the three. You cannot reliably rely on dodge. It's that simple. (Also most tanky units you'd consider giving defensive stats to are relatively low in dodge to begin with) Hypothetically in a vacuum, if there was an enemy that you were facing did an average of 20 damage in a single instant, and your options were: 40 Additional hp 30% Protection 40% Dodge What would you take?
@ShuffleFM
@ShuffleFM 4 жыл бұрын
I appreciate the well thought out and argued post, and you're right that dodge is the least consistent stat since it's all or nothing. The reason I value it so high is because the defensive aspect of the game is more than flat on hit style damage. Most characters are around 45hp or less, to me the mathematical way that prot functions is it extends your hp count against direct hits. This means that it scales worse for character with low hp while being much better with high hp. Your example favorably sets up your point which is fine, but even with those numbers dodge still isn't unappealing. I would value it more than prot by any means. For instance say the enemy does 2 shot you, you land at deaths door, prot no longer matters while dodge does. If I were to use a counter example, I would say that most attacks in the game are not threatening by their direct damage alone. Prot doesn't have a notable impact against the 2dmg attack that leaves a bleed, or the 20 stress damage blast, or the enemy stun, or the enemy push and pull attack. It isn't that prot isn't useful, it's that it only shines in a small amount of scenarios whereas dodge gets you past more situations. It is inconsistent, but it's also more applicable imo. Again thanks for the thought out and attentive post :)
@ui8087
@ui8087 4 жыл бұрын
In my honest opinion, most units that are under the sub 45 hp threshold are likely going to be spec'd more towards damage with a few exceptions. I don't see dodge gained from quirks as being advantageous unless they already had a high base dodge as adding 5 to let's say 10% dodge doesn't do much for the character's noticeable survivability compared to adding 5 to 30% dodge. I'd opt for dodge the least on characters like Lepers/Crusaders/MAA but maybe consider it for Jesters/Grave Robbers/HWM Yes I agree that dodge matters, but I can never rely on a dodging in tough situations as a series of low rolls can easily ruin anyone's day.
@eadbert1935
@eadbert1935 4 жыл бұрын
@Afqwa EHP has the issue of being highly situational, so i disagree with the simple formula what makes this whole conversation difficult is that 10% dodge /= 90% hit chance, at which point 10% Prot = 10% Dodge (in EHP, not considering other possible effects, so calculating dodge / prot / acc is getting significantly harder to put into real numbers) for DD4, i'd say dodge is way stronger as there isn't mainly flat dmg, rather DoT or stress. for other areas, i'd say weald/cove are better with prot (and bandages), the warrens definetly are better with dodge also: i don't fully understand what you mean by "I'm also fairly certain that PROT does nothing to mitigate crit damage", i do know for certain that when attacking enemies, it's mitigated and doubled (don't know the order, it's (2x)/(1-PROT), but depending on when the rounding happens the order doesn't matter anyway)

@@ShuffleFM Dodge does great value for your average damage taken, but an average fight in DD is an absolute curbstomp in favor of the player anyway. A campaign stretching from the Old Road to the Heart will consist of hundreds of fights and well into the 4 digits of attacks being thrown at your characters. An average fight by definition was a winning fight for the player, seeing as you had to beat a couple hundred total battles to kill the Heart and you couldn't have lost more than a handful of them on Stygian/Bloodmoon (and even on Darkest difficulty you're still not going to break higher than a 1% squad wipe average I don't think even if you're terrible). The true challenge of DD is that across 2 thousand attacks being thrown at your party over the course of the campaign you're going to roll snake eyes multiple times in a row at a few points. Boosting DOT-resistance to at- or near-immunity for the enemies you're facing is the #1 priority since it's really easy to hit and there's a huge payoff for doing so (1 resist trinket grants near immunity and a resist trinket plus another source such as a quirk campskill or other will often grant total immunity), and the #2 priority is boosting effective HP vs upfront damage. It's very rare for fights to take you from 0 to heart attack in the course of 2 rounds of a bad rng string, basically only Shambler can do it. Minimizing stress is more of a tightening-execution problem than a stat investment problem since stress buildup happens over a longer term than getting crit to death's door and dotted. Dodge, Dot-resist, stress-resist and Prot all have the quality that the more of them you have the better the next point of it is, and while Dodge gives great average results, prot and dot-resist are just so amazing vs the deadliest attacks like The Finger or Stinger Shot that it overshadows the average benefit that doesn't really need a boost.
@ShuffleFM
@ShuffleFM 4 жыл бұрын
@@sesquame9527 I agree that dot resists are fantastic. In the cove for instance, my 2 frontliners almost always have 1 or 2 bleed resist trinkets between them. My reason for valuing dodge so highly is this: not all attacks leave a dot, or stress, or do big direct damage, or shuffle, or stun etc; however, every attack needs to make contact to do something to you. Dodge is the core mechanic that combats every offense. The best argument against it is it's inconsistency, so that was a good one to target. I would also argue that dodge contributes to EHP, though it is harder to calculate and more variable. Stress isn't about going to heart attack range in a few rounds, it's about the longterm damage it does to your party. HP and mortality debuffs are healed at the end of every mission. Stress forces heroes to skip weeks and eats up gold to fix. Even in your example with the finger, the threat is the bleed it leaves behind more than the direct damage. Prot doesn't matter much there. If a giant swings the tree branch at me twice, I'd rather dodge 1 of those than get hit twice for 50 damage - whatever my prot is. High dodge can totally break fight mechanics, whereas having hp and prot means you still have to play fair. I think you can make a great case for resists and I agree they are amazing. Prot only shines with high hp pools, and because of that codependency, I cannot in good faith call it the best defensive mechanic. Maybe if a character existed that used invigorating vapors-but-prot-instead I would change my mind.

There is logic to slow speed, but I still think it's a negative overall. For instance if my Vestal goes early in the round I would rather have her stun than wait and heal.

Wasting a vestal's entire turn seems pretty bad to me, whereas heals are guaranteed to land. Honestly, I tend not to use stun builds very often, it's just a personal preference, but stun always seemed too risky to me, not just with the vestal, but also kind of in general. Stun moves don't do a lot of damage and they have to both hit AND bypass the stun resist. That's 2 rolls you have to pass. Yeah it's a very high reward move but to me the risk is too high. That's not to say I never stun at all, but I try to avoid it if I can.

hey, thanks for all the videos, very informative. nice to see someone is still making content for the game. i just got into DD and your guides have been very helpful. after playing a bit and watching some guides im trying to figure out what roaster i want to build but im not sure on how to go about it. so i tried to generalise what kind of role every class fit to. I tried; tank, utility, healer; by row; by damage type; i ended with a mix of 6 roles but there are always exceptions. so should i make a roaster around different class builds with a few subs? after all there is only so much variety in each class since you can swap skills and trinkets you can get away with one of every class. the only real unique aspect are the quirks. so does it make sense to build my roster around quirks and build for each class? ie, vestal can be a meta healer or a 2nd row dmg. or maybe two bounties, one marked and one stun. would they have different quirks? the main issue i find my self in is the lack of knowledge. sometimes its hard to follow your guides since i dont know many of the quirks, skills and trinkets by name. have to reference the wiki all the time, makes it a little hard to follow. sort of like a lecture, but in a good way) would you make a video focused on the good quirks? i counted 36 that you can build around. for example i want to make a torchless antique escort. what class would most benefit form lurker and nightowl? would i need two different lepers and highways with different quirks or is swapping skills and trinkets enough? or maybe one quick guide on best quirk for every class? on a bigger note, since there are so many quirks maybe a new class guide series instead? focused more on different builds and quirks? something faster to digest and utilise. for example no one mentions the meta vestal, assumed knowledge and all, and here i am upgrading bash for no reason. we all love experimenting, but a quick guide with best strategies, skill, trinkets and quirk combination would go a long way. Im gonna try sketch a guide episode with my 20 hours of gameplay)) vestal- what are the most effective skill combinations? u can optimally make; 1- meta vestal with some trinkets i dont now about and heal buff, range crit and prot. that would go in any team for healing; 2- bash focus with different trinkets i dont know and instead of prot you stack dodge. that would work well with arbalest. something like that i guess. sure you can miss and match i infinite ways but i think there are only about 25/30 different optimal builds also a separate prismatic episode and how to build god tier characters would be awesome another request would be for team focus ideas. a bleed, a stun focus episodes, region specific, gold farm and so on. something thematic where you would use the builds from the hero build guides. popularise the names like lansader or bastal) sorry for my limited references) just something ive been thinking about while watching your guides. If im making a mistake somewhere or misunderstood something that makes everything i said irrelevant, im sorry for the wasted time but would appreciate if someone pointed it out to me) potato ps another idea of a perfect crew of 17 that would cover all the essentials

There's a lot to unpack here so I apologize for the potentially long answer. - For roster just take who you are comfortable with. Going with 1 of each hero and 2 of your favorites is a good starting point to fill the upgraded roster. - Quirks actually aren't worth building around. The bonuses arre good but not game breaking, which is why a lot of the ones I sugges are generalist and applicable anywhere for that hero like speed on plague doctor or melee crit on hellion. You don't need torchless quirks unless you're doing full on low light the entire playthrough, otherwise they are too expensive and situational. Just get good general quirks on heroes that they don't need much support to make use of so they can mix into different teams easily. - People have been asking for quicker guides so I'm in the process of figuring out how best to do that. - Every Vestal that isn't specifically mace bash Vestal should be using judgment/dazzling/both heals. It's easy and straight forward. Mace bash would be melee attack/stun/aoe heal/hand of light from rank 2. You can put her in 1 but your options are much more limited, but it still works well. - I was going to make some region guides that included team suggestions, but I can see what else I can do as well. Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. There are only so many hours in the day so we'll see what I can put out in the next few weeks.

A bit late since vid is from 3 years ago but YT algo recomended me this after playing DD1... what do you think about Natural Swing (+5 ACC)? (or alternatively Natural Eye for ranged only +5 ACC ranged) So far best candidates for insta lock for me are: - Luminous (like mayby on Arbalest/Crusader - something really slow anyway - could skip, but any other seems like a must) - Steady (stress is usually more deadly than hp dmg... for everyone - "mayby" just "mayby" could skip on characters with self stress heal but i still think it is worth taking there) So those two i consider insta lock on basicly any character (so i do not have to worry about checking every little quirk and think if i should lock it or not) Then one spot left: - (only on healers) Hippocratic - no brainer (just on dedicated healers - Vestal/Cultist - mayby Crusader or something but i still think not) - (on other than healers) either --- Natural Swing (asked above) --- Hot To Trot (+25% DMG, +20 ACC, +5% CRIT on first round - on dmg dealers that have potential to one-two shot backline with it) --- Deadly (+2% CRIT - now hear me out, crits seem bad comapred to others but they also reduce stress when happen, so i am not exactly sure if +5 ACC or +2% CRIT is better here) Your thoughts?

I am mostly a leper guy, so all of them are super good on him (including hippocratic because of solemnity) and especially Hot to Trot, if he can't downright kill something first turn, i'll use purge for damage/ACC boost instead without missing. Natural swing is also insta lock on leper With deadly, i think the specialised ones for either ranged or melee give more crit, but you know more crit is always good. (also because each class has a different buff on crit) Extra ACC just depends on how much ACC each skill has, leper's acc is low on most skills, in contrast arbalest has high ACC. I think it's best used on leper/houndmaster, but really, it doesn't hurt. Prismatic quirks are also insta locked and don't count towards the 3 locked ones. These are the most powerful ones. One of them is crit but I can't remember for how much, pretty sure it was higher than 3%

Out of curiosity, can Kleptomaniac switch out after finishing a mission? Been thinking of leaving it in there on Reynauld after he ended up looting a locked display cabinet... without a key, and got hit with bleed (had a laugh over that). But if getting rid of it is an immediate must, it might as well be done.

Actually I am kinda masochist and let the grey rot on my tanks, I know that is a stupid thing maybe, but a high PROT+HP tank is almost ridiculously unbeatable unless stress factor kills him. Afar my visions of the grey rot, I tend to reach for prec+speed or equal, but my way to go is the perk from the thing of the sky, that ignores stealth. Those are my thoughts, but pretty much I am in the same position about quirks.

Just so people know. Curio is a word you use for ONE, singular, item. When you want to refer to the multiple items, plural, it is curios. There is also the word CURIA, but that is referring to a central administration of the Catholic church. A kind of job. I heard the video makers here say "CURIO" when referring to plural. No. It is curios.

I’m confused on 1 quirk on my hellion. Winded “When at 50% HP -1 SPD” You said that Thanatophobia (+20% stress at 50% Health) was bad and you said that speed was good to have, bad to lose. So should I delete winded? Also I’m VERY New. First Play through week 12? (More than 10) Only killed 1 boss and my Max Character is 2. Which leads to my second question Is the price of Locking/Deleting Quirks increase with levels? Since everyone is 1 or 2 I haven’t really seen it but I believe you alluded to it near the end. Also if you could Do a Disease Guide? Idk if it’s that bad but my PD just got Rabbies and it seems pretty bad. Same with a Curio Guide. I feel like your Channel is The Place too learn almost everything about DD so it would be great.

I can see it for the Leper but I don't know how great it is. Last time I looked it up people had it at about the same effectiveness as the +5 accuracy quirk. Need to see some hard math on it, but if it rerolled crit chance as well I would say it's better. It's a safe lock on Leper most likely, no one else imo.

@@Harrier_DuBois I think this perk is quit bad (sorry). Lets assume you have a Leper with 80 % hitchance. If He misses (20% of the time) you have a 10% chance to turn it into a hit. Thats an all in all hitrate of 82%. (0.8 + 0.2*0.1 = 0.82). It is rumored that it works more offen, but If it works as stated above (as the wiki says) its pretty bad.
