Fledgling Fyora RF Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 That's what I call it, anyway. "Proof That Jeff Vogel Loves Savescumming". Currently playing a Torment singleton game and that's all I do. Savescum until I manage to get a decent haste + battle frenzy combo off. Anyone else feel like he could've just made it +AP or something instead of "randomly be able to double your amount of hits per turn"?

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Yeah, it's not just you. That mechanic could have been better thought out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Jeff has been trying to decrease the effectiveness of haste without using consumable items for a few games now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Aoslare Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 The complaint is clearly about the level 3 version of Haste, with its 30% chance of Battle Frenzy. It is definitely one of the poorest choices in spell design in the game, as Battle Frenzy (AKA Old Haste) is so powerful, it really encourages savescumming to make sure you get it on tough fights.

Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 yea haste (and other buffs) have got nerfed alot since A5 while monsters have nature's haste or unlimited speed potions/scrolls/whatever and players casters are sometimes just healers and rebuffers instead actively killing enemies.
