RU-vidrs like you tend to call everything over powered these days and call for nerfs for no reason. So what if it's a powerful combo? It's a single-player game, no need for nerfs.
I get it, content creators need content to create - but let’s be honest, all you need to be OP in this game is the unforgivable curses and the talents that make regular spells curse enemies, then the talent that makes avada kedavra kill all cursed enemies
Agreed. If anything I'd love an update that does the opposite and makes the game more difficult. I'm doing hard difficulty for my first play through and during puzzle segments the game is constantly like "maybe I should move something to that wall" and whatnot. Really takes the fun out of "hard" difficult when given the solutions almost immediately.
@@thomasbalet2651 Being a wizard is not OP... It's a whole world with it's own rules for magic. Cursing all enemies and killing all of them with just one spell is already OP. We don't need anything more than that.
You can use Flip to make a troll hit himself, you can transmog a animagus out of its beast form, you can turn enemies attacks against themselves. THIS GAME IS AMAZING! Also who knew the combat would be this in-depth? I see so many streamers and other RU-vidrs play brain dead by using ONLY crucio and Avada while there nearly never using protego or talent traits.
I wouldnt say theyre brain dead. their just using what they like. Nothing wrong with that. The beauty if this game is the type of combos that one can preform can be pretty creative. But im.sure theres plenty of people are there who wanted to be evil and use unforgivables.
I actually agree with you. I love the game and streamers usually don’t understand anything, they just use as many spells as they can and sometimes they don’t even get to know how to block 😂.
That's because most of them were just trying to rush through the game to get the most views, watching Hollow's series ruined my first watch of a playthrough for this game
I just run the herbology build. Pull out mandrake, Arena size stun, 1k tic takes out everything but trolls (that's what cabbage is for) on the quest to 100% I'm at the point where I just want things dead as fast as possible. Nothing else I've found can beat a 90 sec arena time.
I made a ridiculous antipod build that made quick work of most endgame combats. Scorching 3 on all gear pieces (because that was the best trait I had unlocked). I designed the build because I was annoyed with trolls and executioners, and I blow either of them up in 1 combo. Set is Flippendo, Glacius, Incendio, Expelliarmus. Hit them with the special damage multiplier, get in close, freeze into burn, instant KO. The cooldowns are super short, so it works pretty well just randomly rolling around and burning everyone.
I appreciate this game makes the player actually feel powerful. I appreciate any rpg where you start off squishy and weak and as you level up and gear up you can feel like a god towards the end of the game. That is what character progression means to me. I'm not a fan of always being at a disadvantage for an entire game. Takes the character progression feel out of the game to me.
I agree. It also takes the enjoyment out of it. I play a game to have fun and blow off steam, not get more pissed off and want to turn it off because they make an area more difficult than it should be.
I don't watch my own character in combat, but can't we just acknowledge how cool the animations are? After dodging an attack, your character will throw a spell behind his back without looking like a badass.
A lot of those combos are meant to work that way, it's considered skillful casting. Love the upgraded transformation spell, it's brutal and fun to throw explosive enemies at their "friends", been playing around with that a lot. Anyway, most enemies have special situations where they are open for instant kills with the right spell or combo.
I think it's perfect the way it is. Everyone isn't as good as everyone else. I think they should leave it like that for those who enjoy it and give use more aggressive enemies and add more enemy camps, more spiders, wolves etc to fill some empty spaces and more boss battles and hopefully a new story line or something like Spider-Mans: the city that never sleeps.
More Acromantulas would be awesome to see. Apparently in the lore of HL the Acromantulas we encounter were mothered by a special named one we also encounter in the game. The bio suggests they werent native compared to the other species, but the bio suggests the special one we kill was a mother to many others in the area. It would be cool to see younger varents and familes of Acromantulas in caves. Since their the more aggresive spider type in the game, and they kinda remind me of having Deathclaw encounters in Fallout.
@@thetoyodacar2264 this, amazing how people just don't read the shit that the game explains very clearly then make stuff up lmao. The reason why the barrel seems to do the same as AK is because the DA talent he showed on video splashes damage, and the more damage you hit the target with, the more splash damage to all cursed enemies. As you said explosive barrel = big damage. If devs were to listen to these people then combos that throw enemies falling and stuff like that would also need to be nerfed because "hurr durr it's just like using AK".
6 unforgivable traits on hard will make your basic attacks on cursed enemies do 1.3k and will alow you to one shot or make other fun combos more viable
Thank you so much for the comparaison of concentration lvl3 and other specific trait lvl 3 I have been trying to find this info for a while, to help me choose what trait to put Thank you !!!!!
according to the curse spell talents text, i think this was intended to only work with AK, turning people into exploding barrels looks like a loophole in the intended effect of the curse. this will probably be patched.
Nope. You're confusing something here. It's not a loophole, the AK Mastery perk is what makes AK chain kill all cursed enemies, what he's using is another solo perk from the DA tree that works for all cursed enemies, making them all share a % of the damage you inflict on any cursed enemy. Since the explosive barrels do a ton of damage, the splash damage ends up being enough to kill all the cursed mobs. You can try using a mod that changes the amount of HP the mobs have and verify in fact that they're not getting instantly killed like AK does, but because the damage is too high for them to survive. Is it a very powerful trait? Yes, but only as powerful as you're smart at exploiting it. You can slot all your gear with the Ancient Magic Throw III rune and do the exact same thing without using the Transformation spell, just throw a rock or normal barrel, whatever object, at the mobs after doing the same thing, using the same perks, and you'll get the very same result, which means this is an intended exploit.
I also found an exploit yesterday. If you have the lvl 22 focus potion upgrade you can spam spells for a long time. And I realised you can spam lumos to get the blue focus potion bar back up when its low. So, Just spam spells untill the bar is low then spam lumos till bar is full. And voila, infinite casting!
@L_O_W_K_E_Y-G just shared something I found and enjoyed. Wasnt going to make a video on it so so didnt see any harm in commenting somewhere. Delusions of grandeur, in a random/casual youtube comment? Go touch some grass lmao.
yeah, i love the combat mechanic of this game...i'm just glad they do this so future games will be crazy and they will adjust combat mechanics, bosses, and the whole world into another fun wizard and witches adventures....the spell combos are just nuts and fun to play around with...
it would be cool that if they added the basic attack to have like a hold down trigger, like it would cast a damaged over time like just hold down the trigger or button of your basic attack that will unleash and blot of like red lightning that doesn’t do too much damage but still be satisfying
I like the Avada Kedavra combo more because it's just flashier and way, way, way more satisfying with the bass effect when casting it. Just imo, I like AK more :P
i think theres a really op upgrade for your armor, where you deal more dmg to cursed enemies. if you get it on any of your armor pieces you can deal 1000 dmg with just a left click attack
3:12 you can also block the attack but without the counter (stupefy). To do that you just have to tap block once instead of holding it. This also allows you to use Flippendo on the Troll
I haven't been using the loom at all, so I've been rawdogging the game with no upgrades/traits on my gear. In games like this in which gear is associated with level, I like to get the best gear I can possibly get and then upgrade it so I don't waste resources. I also find caring for the beasts in the vivarium for materials very boring
Everyone talking about these spells like the consumables and plants aren't way more OP. I can literally wipe an entire wave with a single mandrake in my build.
People just discovering Khraze from Hogwarts, you don't understand that he has always been about minmaxing characters on the games he covers. He says "overpowered" but to him that's a GOOD thing. He makes guides to show you HOW to be overpowered. He isn't trying to call for nerfs. This is Khraze's niche.
I think I prefer cabbage apocalypse to this. Something I'm wondering is why aren't there talents that involve high combo counts. Something that rewards you for not getting hit basically. Couldn't help but miss some of the old Batman Arkham combat arenas.
Cabbage apocalypse is so much fun lol. I also love the Levioso/Accio/Incendio/Descendo combo. It's effective and easy. That's probably why they teach you those ones super early.
You know what else onshots enemies with 0 cooldown? Petrificus Totalus. I feel like people are obsessing over things like the killing curse so much, they've forgotten stealth takedowns are in the game.
I'm just here to find out how you got that facemask into thumbnail! I pre-ordered the digital deluxe edition as well as linked my Wizarding World, w.b. and the Harry Potter fan club account and yet I have not received that mask like it was advertised.
In case anybody is wondering, I figured it out. You have to not only have the digital deluxe edition with the dark arts pack but you must complete the dark arts battle arena in the Forbidden Forest and once you complete it, you get the mask. I now have it.
Skill issue. A lot of games that get branded as repetitive, are usually only as repetitive as the the person playing the game. Their imagination is limited, and so to them the game is "repetitive".
I would replace Expelliarumus with Confringo and add Confringo mastery. The damage from Confringo spreads like with Crucio mastery, adding even more damage to the damage spread while transformation is recharging. Also, when fighting inferius you NEED a fire spell. So, this is a complete build.
I just made "enemy categories" for all of my spell wheels. For inferi, Accio, Incendio, Descendo, and Arresto Momentum. Also works as a general crowd control set. For Goblins, Expelliarmus (coupled with AM throw), Glacius, Diffindo, and Bombarda. Dark Wizards get Transform, Flipendo, Crucio, and Diffindo/Bombarda. The other wheel is mostly for Lumos, Disillusionment, Reparo, etc.
wow, cool combo! Love it! Sadly i dont wan that it has to be spread on crucio, cuz i dont wanna use unforgivvable. XD Ou I can can play it like that curse without crucioy, yeah
Also with imperio curse if you use the curse and it’s the last enemy you can use petrificus totalus on them and do a lot of damage that’s what I did for trolls up until I gained avada kadavra Also use crucio spell debuff then use avada to kill all targets with curse mark
Hello as first I would like to thank you for this video. I will use it for sure! I just do not agree that this is in general stronger than Avada Kedavra. The AOE instakill combo with Dark build crucio/avada is still strongest because it is incredibly easy to land. I am mentioning this because I red tons of articles saying that this curse is not strong enought, but it really is. The weakness of it is huge cooldown on Avada itself, even with the focus potion applied. Thats where those alternative AOE instakill combos takes place.
Since you can have up to 4 spell combinations, I use this one and the Avada combo too. Use this combo: Set 1- Confringo, Avada Kedavra, Crucio, Bombarda. Set 2- Accio, Depulso, Transformation, Levioso. I use Set 2 not only in combat, but for puzzles. Set 1 I have the mastery traits for all 4 perks. Set 2 only have mastery for transformation so I can use the combo he mentions in the video. If you use the stupefy dark magic trait, you can curse enemies while Crucio, Avada, and Transformation are recharging. Effectively, you will always basically be able to insta kill no matter what is recharging. Happy hunting!
I think this is fine. There are so many hidden things in this game, I feel like powerful combos are just another way the devs are rewarding us for experimenting and exploring
Reminds me of binding of Isaac, half the fun on games with crazy synergies is finding these broken combos. To me that’s what makes it fun. I’m full sneak build so I have all my upgrades increasing damage done while sneaking. Mind control that curses all other targets then transform / killing curse, on top of that your cabbage bois. Ugh.. so good
Does gear scale in hard mode?I'm having trouble finding better gear guess I'm completely maxed out I have all legendary gear level 40 114 offense and everything I get is always less
I use accio, diffendo, transformation, and bombarda combined with the ancient magic throw and all of my gear amplifies bombarda so I can one shot most enemies.
I doubt they’re gonna remove this it’s a combo system game there’s tons of different ways a playing. Somebody made a clip just like this during the 72 hour early access when it was released…
@@voluntarism335 Everything he just did is meant to be played as is. There’s no glitch read the descriptions on the spells he’s using, they’re literally doing exactly what they’re intended to do. This game is about making tons of combos you think this is the best combo just wait another week or two people come up with some crazy stuff.
Looking at how they die before animation is played i'm guessing the game considers the transformed enemy auto-dead the moment they get picked up by magic, and that auto death applies universally because i know trolls have more than 2k health. Edit: Also i knew that the hard difficulty nerfed the crap outta stupify (can't crack shields anymore) but i never realized it nerfed damage that much. makes me proud how much damage i've been cranking out lately.
The one shot combo seems so good it's likely unintentional. Destroying the barrel is probably coded as doing lethal damage, so the shared portion is... still lethal damage. Will probably be patched out.
That's what I thought too. Its so awkward to see the cursed enemies just flop to the ground once you pick up the explosive barrel. Doesn't seem like it was intended at all.
Actually makes me sad about how unskillfully I play this game (I seem to be past the half of the game using levioso+accio+confringo+expelliarmus almost exclusively xD - combined with specials like ancient magic and protego, of course) =.= Seems like I've missed a lot of content. That being said, I'm level 33 and I still haven't got a transfiguration spell. Maybe I'm focusing on sidequests and collectables too much. I've never thought that let's say glacius+diffindo have some additional damage to it. Always hated battling trolls because of insane amount of time it took to kill them without ancient magic (while they like... two-shot me? They're not too hard to dodge at least) upd: it was okay when they throw stones at me rather than charging, which some of them heavily preferred. Didn't know about a club trick v///v I started to use crucio though as I got it not so long ago ^^
Here we go trying to nerf other things in a single player game once you discover it. Who would want to play in a very hard mode if they just started or don't play this way? I have a feeling they thought hard was hard enough maxed out builds and exploits aside 😄
The only thing I have to say just play the game and do your level grinding and focus on your spell casting and skills as well and play how you want to play plus don't forget about your Gold grinding and choose your gear and sell some out of all just enjoy the game peace
HOW many times did you restart the game just to try out different builds. Yea I get the save before you use your talents, but eventually you will move past that save.
Instead of nerfing anything the player can do (not talking about unintended gameplay), making the enemies harder in some way would solve the problem of the game being too easy, while not decreasing the fun or powerful feeling the player gets. I want to still feel powerful, but fight stronger foes. Maybe a DLC with new enemy types? If they took a Dark souls approach and added MANY enemy types, this game would almost never get old.
This. I hate how everyone is so fucking retarded these days. If you play the game o easy mode everything will be OP, even the fucking minigames will not take any effort to complete, does this mean easy mode is OP? The only thing the game needs is extra difficulty options so all the people crying that X or Y is too OP can just play it without feeling like nothing is difficult. There's even a mod that lets people adjust tons of things to make it harder/easier according to each one's tastes.
The curse second hand enemise shouldnt die when you hurl the barrel... it should only occur, if at all, by hitting ANOTHER enemy who is connected cursewise to the others.
Yes they should, because the damage of the explosive barrel is so great that the splash damage from the curse chain perk causes them to die as well. That perk makes all cursed enemies share damage, and explosive barrels do huge damage. You can literally test the same thing, except just throw normal objects/rocks, in that case the other cursed enemies might not die instantly, but they'll be in very bad shape. However if you have the gear rune that increases Ancient Magic Throw damage on all 6 gear slots and do the exact same thing it will have the exact same effect as shown on this video without needing the Transformation spell, or an explosive barrel for the matter.
What is the max stats you can have in this game I haven’t found any gear in like 4 or 5 levels that would give me an increase I’m level 34 currently and my offense and defense are in the high 300s and they’re upgraded to the max if anybody knows how to get stronger lmk I play on normal btw
Something really broken is if you cast imperio on a troll and then cast invisibility you can continuously petrify them to death before they snap out of imperio
@@JH-fp1lw all of this is intended, including the nifty combo he's showed here. First it requires a specific perk from the DA tree that most people have probably seen and thought it was complete garbage, AK is still supreme because there are fights, especially boss fights that you can't just spam all these exploits, while AK is just a one-shot kill everytime.
They really lied so hard about the length of the game. They said the main story was a minimum 35 hours, it took 20 with me exploring and doing side quest.
I don't understand the point on playing on hard difficulty and then using as many exploits and cheese tactics as possible to make the game so easy that it plays itself. If you're just going to do that, why even select hard difficulty? You might as well select normal, and then play normally.
Everyone makes these videos like it’s super crazy or something hogwarts legacy isn’t really about PVP so being able to destroy with magic is a cool thing, I see so many videos about how broken spells are, why does it even matter the games PVP is ridiculous easy even on the highest difficulty 🤣🤣
I prefer normal difficulty. I have played it on hard, its not an issue for me, i jist hate damage sponges, i still get a pretty decent challenge on both hard and normal difficulty, as both can be punishing. I remember dying maybe 5 times dealing with Rookwood the first time, due to the amount of bulshtry u have to deal with in his fight. That was on normal difficulty. I also got put on my butt, during the battle arena, because i ended up becoming overwhelmed during the 7th wave. Also normal difficulty. So im pretty happy with normal.But anything below that is too easy for me.
If theyre going to add a very hard mode, then the new mode should force you to actually do the enemy specific counters in order to defeat them. Otherwise, there's no point in making anything harder if you can just cheese through everything with the same braindead one-shot builds.
I've been playing on the hardest difficulty since day one taste by already get used to it just got rely on potions more if you just want to one shot every enemy and not make the game difficult plan story mode
