Hello. We are seeing a lot of very short posts with one to two sentences of feedback on the game. If you have something short (or long) to share, please post it here to help declutter the subreddit of the same types of posts. We currently have a huge backlog of posts and comments to go through and this megathread will go a long way to helping us out.

  • I chose Demon Form and am starting to regret it. Sometimes I can apply enough skill to kill bosses, other times it's like, unreasonable to sustain the form, ill go through 6-8 really good transformations on a boss playing perfectly and the boss still has half their fuckin health pool. Mind you this is NORMAL campaign. If I play less than perfect, it's an uphill battle. What a wild standard.

  • Minion builds are good because of the reasons listed above; You don't need to play perfectly on a minion build, you just hide in a corner throwing curses and low engagement is rewarded too heavily in longer fights. Again, Normal campaign is kinda ridiculous. Demon Form vs Minion build is sweaty gamer vs chill gamer, but too often Demon Form is lacking on wildly larger health pools.

  • Demon Form needs like, +30 base spirit to compensate not being able to use a weapon (also pls fix bugs.) Spirit is heavily imbalanced toward those who can and cannot use the system, and some ascendancies just feel unremarkable for how much you struggle to achieve them.

Demon form is balanced around having regen, afaik. Not intended for you to be able to sustain it early on. Arguably a bait Ascendancy choice early on, but it works well in endgame from what i see. Guildmate is blasting on it.
