    I feel that if they make it so the Trickster puts on Debilitations Like WET, POISON and So on it would be better.
    like the Fake Walls and Floors Explode they make more Cloud Clones OR do Debilitations to the Enemy close to it.
    same thing if they kill your Cloud Clone.

    @HydraPrimaris 4 місяці тому +6

    You can actually run a variety of different skills depending on your pawns. The Dividers are useful for when you are running multiple casters as you can aggro and then "hide" them behind the walls. You can use Vistant to get melee mobs to sit in one spot for warriors and fighters by having your clone sit in the air just out of reach. Trickster also benefits from using Tomes to supplement damage. The vocation is lacking, but there is no one singular loadout for it. Because the types of pawns you have ARE apart of that loadout.

  • @SSmitar
    @SSmitar 4 місяці тому +4

    All Trickster needed at the least "some" form of damage. DoT would have been the perfect form for this class, just a few seconds of ticks. Because in an action RPG, as a main player (w/o a co-op), being a support character take you out of the said action. Pair that with extremely situational use of any skills (beside the buff one) this class becomes chore to play and level up with.

  • @krishnansubramoni7801
    @krishnansubramoni7801 4 місяці тому +5

    What would have made this vocation incredible is if it could inflict some of the debilitations that were there in the first game but not present or exclusive in this game - Torpor, Blindness, Curse, Silence, Petrify, are some very powerful, zero damage, de-buffs that you can inflict on enemies to make fights much easier in the first game. But in this game they are just absent. And with a little bit of quality of Life stuff like the ones you mentioned, this Vocation would be as incredible as the others. And for anyone wondering, I am perfectly ok with not doing any damage. Worst case scenario, we can always unequip our weapon and punch things to death. Anyone who has fought golems as a mage will understand 😅

      From all the comments I've seen regarding Trickster, very few are complaining about Damage output. Everyone is complaining because many of the skills are either too niche or require too much effort with little return. What would have made this vocation incredible is if it could inflict some of the debilitations that were there in the first game but not present or exclusive in this game - Torpor, Blindness, Curse, Silence, Petrify, are some very powerful, zero damage, de-buffs that you can inflict on enemies to make fights much easier in the first game.

    • @gamerguy6990

      I don’t think damage is the problem here, simply how difficult and tedious it is to play the class. Every other class has more utility and value to battles than trickster does.

    • @millermcgraw1
      @millermcgraw1 4 місяці тому +3

      You're right, it's a huge mindset swap that players aren't really prepared for and it's the only class that forces you to change in such a drastic manner. It shifts the game from an action RPG to realtime tactics. If it was better implemented I could be cool, unique, and fun. As it stands, all I see when I look at trickster is the missing, much better classes from DDDA that they could have put in instead. It's so poorly implemented that you're guaranteed to fail two or three quests if you enter them as trickster.

    So all i could think of that would be cool, is anything that could be a cloud, should be, poison, smokescreen, anything thats a gas, anything that can become gas, mist, sleeping gas, blinding gas, gasoline that could catch enemies on fire...
    The ultimate should be that you could create an simulacrum, that imitates your enemies, for example, create an mimic, like, for example, a dragon...
    Or create an army of smoke soldiers that fight for you...

  • @firstswordcorvus7368
    @firstswordcorvus7368 4 місяці тому +1

    Some of the skills could be better or outright replaced like the alarum. But I am one of the few people who have fun with the class. My favorite thing is confusing the enemies by moving and healing my decoy. Harpies I haven't seen go through my walls, though having a sorcerer pawn who's favorite spell is maelstrom, they don't get a chance 😂. The floors are fun for tripping enemies, mostly small, but have tripped cyclops and ogres with it. Mixed results with ogres as they hop around more than run when battle is on. Trickster is a very strategy oriented class that can feel pretty braindead as only 4 skills matter. Though not as braindead as sorcerer augeral flare delete boss strategy. I do wish Trickster could do debuffs, cause who doesn't feel bad breathing in the wrong smoke? And I don't see why not give Trickster sleep in a wider area or even silence for that matter

  • @pointlessshredding1019
    @pointlessshredding1019 4 місяці тому

    I tried playing Trickster like you're supposed to, aka aggro build with nuke pawns. Then at like rank 6 I just realized that sprinting around doing nothing with an aggro build achieves the exact same thing. It's even arguably safer since you're never locked in animation.

  • @StairFacts
    @StairFacts 4 місяці тому

    I like Trickster as a concept, and when used correctly it makes the game feel like easy mode (since your pawns end up doing all the work for you) but I do wish they had a wider variety of skills. So many of the skills Trickster has are just "what if Trickster's base kit was functional" which really sucks. Even without a way to directly damage enemies, it would have been nice to debuff the damage of enemies, or maybe have some way to slow them down (like using the Rusted Bow in DD1). Just something beyond the gimmick of drawing aggro to your simulacrum would be nice. Hoping we'll see that if we ever get an expansion to this game.

  • @ericspratling9252
    @ericspratling9252 4 місяці тому

    Like your description of Binding Effigy, "neat and situational" is about the best way to summarize Trickster as a whole (aside from the OP Aromatic Resurgence, I guess). It's a clever idea and occasionally useful, but nowhere near as much simple utility as using one of the many other powerful classes to attack enemies directly. After the novelty wears off, why go through the hassle of making enemies attack each other or using a ghost image of myself to trick them into walking onto a false floor when I can simply obliterate them myself much more quickly with my greatsword or magic bow?
    It's reminiscent of Just Cause 4, where the game was like "look at all this tether combinations you can use to defeat enemies!" and I was like "yes, or I could just shoot them with my gun."

  • @joemama114
    @joemama114 4 місяці тому

    I've seen the wall used much better to deter enemies to attack your pawns, if you got 2 sorc pawns you can put them behind the wall and they can cast with impunity.
    All the while you run around gathering attention using your Simulacrum. Trickster plays like fighter in that you're an attention grabber. Fighter has damage obviously the trickster doesn't.
    But the trickster has literal on demand agro retention and agro redirection, using their Sim.

    My only issue with Trickster is in a lot of scenarios you fully require your team to kill everything for you. While the Ai of your pawns is good its not always perfect and cant plan out things like a real person could. Id bet trickster would be a lot more popular if the game was coop and you could rely on your friends to kill the stuff you aggro.

    I mean I can understand why people hate this class, and why they would say it’s the worst in the game, but I love it. People really just hate it because of three main reasons. It doesn’t so damage, it makes you have to think strategically in combat, or that it’s “boring”. Of course, these are all valid opinions to have, but here’s my problem, the community is trying to make this vocation seem worse then it is. Here’s mainly what I see:People only pointing out the negatives of the trickster, People trying to turn their opinions such as “It’s the worse class in the game!” Or “Nobody should like this class!” Into actual facts, and finally, I always see people comment on trickster videos about mystic spearhand, trying to draw away attention from trickster, and project it onto mystic spearhand, so they can switch their preferences. While I also love mystic spearhand, and think it’s a really cool vocation, I hate when I see people do this, and I would feel the same way if it was trickster taking attention away from mystic spearhand. All classes are cool guys. Please don’t make it seem like they’re not.

      @NeoDMC 4 місяці тому

      Because you are limited in skills playing Warfarer, sadly the only real option if you are gonna slot a Trickster skill is still just Aromatic Resurgence. The other skills don't justify the skill slots when you have literally every other skill in the game you can take. Aromatic Resurgence actually fucks, so it's worthwhile. I have a sort of "Commander" Warfarer build that is essentially a Fighter that makes up for it's lower damage by slotting Aromatic Resurgence.
