I mostly use Devastating Shot from the Hunter tree, alongside Arrow Master for Paralyzing Arrows, Rain of Destruction to kill groups, and of course Archery Master for the passive bonuses. I also got gear with +20% bonuses to Spread Shot and Predator shot, so I also invested a point in those. Haven't used them much, though, as Devastating Shot usually gets the job done just fine.
I wish Beast Master was more permanent. You can't take any tamed beast with you on the ship for example. Feels like a missed opportunity, especially when you see all those mercenaries wander around with permanent combat pets.

Funny, i finished the game with nearly half the kills (839) i had in Origin (1542) ...
I knew i was getting wiser.

Only 2 of the assassin skills are passive, all the others are active.
Man, I'm only level 16 but I'm already afraid of getting overleveled. I haven't even been that thorough in doing everything but EXP just keeps raining on me
I don't understand those who claim the game is grindy. I'm at 23 hours of gameplay, and I'm level 26. Never reached a wall.
Just bought it. Damn you Resetera impressions.
Rare for me to get tided over, but I haven't seen such enthusiasm for a AC game since BF, which I loved.

It's only grind if you haven't played it and/or have a Ubisoft agenda...
Did anyone get the Twitch Prime Loot yet?
I've linked my uplay account to twitch and the pack has been activated but it doesn't show up in my game. When I want to open the store or whatever it is it in the game it says that it can't connect (PC)

I did yeah, of course I can't expect to kill all polemarch in one shot naturally, crit shot can take down most lower rank captain in one go if I recall well. But yeah I'll tweak some pieces, thanks for the advices.
I think it's the people that rush through the story and don't explore, it's also from people not even having played the game. They just echo what the headlines say.
Yeah, I guess, but clearly, the game is meant for you to do a bunch of stuff between each story mission. There's so much to do, it's not as if it was lacking in XP to get. I cleared an area just now, it gave me 10 000 XP !
And if you play the game in a straight line, well, you're missing it. The places are gorgeous and the missions quite varied.
Yea I needed to invest in Warrior Gear and High Damage Pole weapons. Way easier and fun switch up in gameplay.
It's an RPG/looter, so some grinding is to be expected. Still, the campaign and side stories are meaty enough that it's pretty easy to ignore the leveling/grinding aspects if you want.
Just staarted. Been playing on hard. Was super struggligg on that Cyclops boss fight and the bounty hunter turned up as well.
Fortunately, I just discovered you can cheese the combat system by dragging enemies up on top of cliffs and kicking them off to kill them via fall damage }:]

Or just respecc hunter, click on the boar's head a few times and defeat it with ease Horizon: Zero Dawn-style
I'm really liking the Mykonos / Delos twin islands questline, but I feel like I'm doing a lot of juggling between both sides quests and delaying of quests in order to be able to do all of them, and for the first time it doesnt feel organic, although to be fair, that's on me, not the game.
Like, I could have killed

Podarkes ages ago, hell I didnt even need Kyra or the Spartan's sidequests to lower the island forces, I had already done it, so I'm just doing quests for both because, well I want to see them, but at the same time I'm afraid doing one side will lock the other (so far it hasnt), and obviously I'm afraid if I do the quest to kill Podarkes, it would lock both sides and end there.
With the aggressive level scaling you can't overlevel in this game.
It's not aggressive, everything becomes two levels beneath you. Enemies around my own level are already quite easy to kill, let alone enemies under my level.
I'm so pissed that it's bugged on my game. In the store it's stated as owned but impossible to find her in the ship menu...
Yeah you can.
I got to a point where I was 5 levels above the main story and those areas only gave me lower level loot. Only the story quests gave me loot that was close to my level. Right now killing mercs is the only thing that is giving me same level loot, and even they have become easy for me to kill.
This is from me just doing side quests and whatever else I feel like doing. I guess that's called "grinding" to some, but I've thoroughly enjoyed every minute I've spent in the game.
My husband can't get her either. He's playing on PC and said it's a known bug.
End game Hunter builds are hilarious. 1/2-shotting literally everything. Occasionally through walls.
In Uplay, when you click on the picture of the game to launch, there's a banner with some game stats (time played, completion percentage, player level, enemies killed, and distance travelled), if you click on more stats you get the rest of the game metrics.
Mmm when you get that dive jump the game gets 30% more badass.
Just discovered Athens, I really need to start getting back on track with the main story.

Land of the Lawless quest:
Some quests are totally out of place and was poorly executed... That's what I realized so far!!!!
- Go there
- Burn some stuff
- Done
- A f guy appears from nowhere
- A f epic non-sense battle begins
- "WTF is going on" in my mind...

I'm lvl 23 and I barely upgraded the spear
Someone save me from myself and exploring other places
Still cool walking into boetia (why is it a high lvl zone surrounded by low level zones anyway) and killing some wolves and a soldier that were pretty much 15ish levels above me after a mighty struggle because they caught me running away on my horse. "Can't beat anyone higher than you" my arse.
Went around the salty land, they spent a lot of the budget on kassandras animation when talking to
geez.
Also I fucking hate any and every "go retrieve this sunken loot/kill these sharks" mission, they never point where the fuck i am supposed to go or search for

Same. Bought it last night, turned off my "X" to let it download. Been busy today so far, but will jump into it later tonight. Been combing this thread for a week or so and all the positive comments got to me. Can't wait to jump into the game.
This place made me buy Origins and never have I regretted anything so hard (besides maybe my PUBG purchase). Absolutely hated it and couldn't get past the first hour. Never again. Patience pays off and it'll come in the form of RDR2 and also prolly this game for half price on Black Friday
Iirc you are on chapter
5 out of 9 + "ending" , but not all chapters are the same length...
How dare you. I can only assume you've been bought and paid for with Jim Sterling patreon money.
The animals can do hilarious amounts of damage. I bumped into a chicken which pissed it off and after chasing me down, pecked me for a quarter of my life bar. Then another quarter as I stared dumbfounded at my health dropping.
There's a pretty clear 'halfway point' of the game in my opinion, and you're almost there.
Just hit level 16 and respecced for the thousandth time. My build, my damage numbers and part of Kassandra's abs for those who appreciate them:
Star of the show is still Devastating Shot, but I've noticed most regular enemies only need a regular charged arrow to the head to die, which is where Multi-Shot comes in. This will hopefully enable me to stealthily clear entire areas at once instead having to lure every individual soldier out or wait for them to start their patrols again.
Hero Strike is another skill I haven't used yet, but may help greatly in taking down Polemarchs and the like, which are the only enemies I can't one-shot no matter what.
Vanish, Gear Master and Second Wind are there for whenever I can't avoid melee. I feel Gear Master is often overlooked in favor of offensive skills, but the damage reduction it offers is not be underestimated, especially at level 2.
My damage isn't even optimized yet as I'm still using level 13/14 weapons and even some level 12 gear. I may have to clear out some forts and kill/recruit mercenaries to hopefully get some good new stuff.
