Requiem Shard

Do you have any prior experience with Requiem? If so, please detail when (and what characters, if desired) you previously played: Yes, I’ve played a few different iterations of Req beginning in Act III. Most recently I have played Alphonse, the late Inquisitor Albus Black, Grigor, and the poor repor...

Great suggestion. Isn't this also what gatekeepers do to help new players understand the scene?

I guess I am a little confused. I had thought this thread was more so geared to the feel of the shard and not so much on the mechanics side. Having delved deep into the crafting system here, I would say it is far too early to compare what people would consider 'endgame' crafting (i.e. the last gear ...

Great discussion thread here!

If'n ya do, tells 'im, ol' Grigor might 'ave some works fer 'im if'n he's got an eye fer ventures.

Great points, as for the last one, I think we are talking past each other. I use parry a lot. When fighting creatures that stun or cast hold and start evasion/confidence and it is interrupted, I have to wait the full 20 seconds from the time I initiated it until I can "cast" again which is...

Unlike other abilities, these last a long time and are not special weapon moves. Historically evasion was under the finesse tree and that is why you don't see other things like confidence and evasion in different stratagem trees. I would contend that the bigger issue isn't it being interrupted but i...

Those Early Years The giant of man was not always so, in fact Grigor was once a small lad, frail and endearing in the way that only an adventurous spirit trapped within a runt-frame might be. Those early years in the caravan were rich in song and dance and tradition and story, even if the Family wa...
