Savage vs Crushing

[Karjus]

To other Nightmare players,

I've near enough just been using Crushing with Vraes, but even with a high accuracy weapon I've been struggling to consistently land blows with him. The Thief/Wizard are my consistent damage dealers, and Vraes just gets.. lucky now and then. I'm wondering with the increased creature defenses compared to normal on the higher difficulties, if Savage would be a much more useful ability and if other people have found it as such.

Karjus - if you are looking to get the most accurate Vraes, combine Natural Mastery and Savage Sweep. Harder difficulties require more cursing and buffing to get by.

Curious. I've focused pure strength and blades with him instead of the more tank builds I hear others talk about. Dread to think how rough he'd have it if I'd tried branching out to other things.

Do ranged attacks ignore parry or some such? Trying to figure out why the thief hits so much even without aimed shot.

Looking into a broader build with my sorcerer run, just figured I'd push through with this one for more equipment notes. Think I'll miss the wizard though...
