Baer Plays Darkest Dungeon (Pt. 93) - Men With Arms

Trki, Kody, Cheaty do

1. You still don't know about sacrificing food at the altar?!?
2. Yet another double man at arms run. Boring.
3. What's next? Women with legs?:)
4. It actually isn't very hard to argue that there are better combos than Legendary Bracer + Focus Ring. I can do it... with math!
   
   Let's assume a base level of 15% crit for the sake of comparison, around what you had for most stuff this video.
   
   Legendary + Focus:
   120% damage, 25% crit, +4 accuracy
   When it crits, you're looking at 240% damage, so overall:
   (120 * .75) + (240 * .25) = 150% average damage
   But accuracy also matters! Without any other accuracy buffs, you're hitting at 80% a lot of the time, sometimes even going down to ~75%! Factoring in accuracy, you're looking at:
   150 * .8 = 120% average damage
   
   In comparison:
   Legendary + Sun/Moon
   140% damage, 20% crit, +2 accuracy
   (140 * .8) + (280 * .2) = 168%
   168 * .78 = 131% average damage
   Slightly lower acc means marginally lower hit rate than the former, but it's still noticeably more average damage. Crits will happen slightly less often, but they'll be significantly stronger.
   
   Sun/Moon X2
   140% damage, 15% crit, +20 accuracy
   (140 *.85) + (280 * .15) = 155%
   168 * .9 = 139% average damage
   Hit rate is capped at 90%, which you're going to reach against basically anything with that amount of accuracy.
   
   BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE
   
   Sun/Moon X2 + Rabies
   160% damage, 15% crit, +10 accuracy
   (160 * .85) + (320 * .15) = 184%
   184 * .9 = 165% average damage
   With the massive accuracy boost from the trinkets, the Rabies penalty isn't a big deal at all. You're still hitting at capped accuracy against most enemies.
   
   Camp buffs can be used to buff up Legendary + Sun/Moon's accuracy, in which case it would be better than Sun/Moon X2 without Rabies (Unless you're forfeiting a damage buff to get the accuracy). But if you have no other accuracy buffs, or you have Rabies, or you are a Leper, Sun/Moon X2 is the best for all your killdudes needs.
   
   Notable exception: Gunslinger's Buckle (25% damage, 15 accuracy on ranged attacks) + Legendary Bracer is much better for Highwaymen.
   
    And this will all be irrelevant in a few hours if they rebalance trinkets very much.
5. Today is the day! Houndmaster shall be arriving, and rabies is gonna suck now, yay!
6. Let's do a weird run... bring out the Grave Robber, Bounty Hunter, and Plague Doctor again!
7. only if baer could have done this with 4 men at arms. that would have been op as hell
8. I can hold the missed Shambler fight on you, Baer. You always keep hairlooms instead of more vital items. You discarded your three torches when picking loot instead of the crests. You could have easly fought the Shambler if you didn't forget to drop the hairlooms.
9. A singular RNG for this run you have a killer crew indeed...it seems that you need to fight the shambler in this fighting shape;)
   hey tell us more aboute Mortagne parents...he have a quite interesting background 
   keep up the good work
10. Tough rings are still my favorite trinket due to early camp buffs.
11. Almost perfect timing with releasing new updates.
12. So is this the last episode until the full release?
13. @mark ebert There's no cove or darkest dungeon in the game as off yet because it's still early access. Cove should be added somwhere btw august or september and darkest will be available when full game releases ( around october )
14. when are you going to be able to go to the actual Darkest Dungeon in the game?
15. Arms with Men
16. it bugs me that you always take advantage of the op combo of Focus ring and legendary bracer.
    why don't you try some different trinkets and strategies that doesn't require the whole team being a brute damage dealer?
17. Baer how hyped are you for the update to dankest dungeon on a scale of 1-69 69 being the hypest.
18. FIRST !!!!!!!!!!
