darkness is bs

[>//The_FALCON]

cant throw anything inside the cloud once its up but enemies immediately know where my people are without even having left the darkness cloud. how is casing darkness an advantage for the attacker again?

make it make sense

It's really overpowered if you are immune to blinded or have devil sight. Haven't tried on tactician but it basically breaks and cheats the game. Make sure you hide before ending your turn in the darkness.

While in darkness you cannot be targeted by ranged. But doesn't mean you cannot fireball it.

Quick question.

Should I take devil sight on my half wood elf warlock even though the half elf comes with 12 metres dark vision?

Yea you need a way to bypass magical darkness since it's a different thing.

Darkness is insanely useful when there's a lot of ranged enemies!!! It has made some tough fights much easier for me.

It's not the same as making them invisible, enemies still see you, but they can't hit you with most ranged attacks. Put your companions (especially the squishier ones) inside the darkness at the end of each turn. Walk just out to the edge to do your attacks.

yeh.. darkvision is kinda buggy.. it is supposed to let you see in darkness.. magical or otherwise.. but in fact darkness isn't darkness, it's actually a mass blindness spell for those inside it and a mass camouflage spell for those outside. So they can still use aoe spells if they're smart enough to know you're there..

To use darkness effectively, you either need to cast protection from blindness on someone or have the ring that does it for you. With darkvision, you can then run around in darkness and kill everything with impunity.

Darkness is mostly there to force ranged attackers to come to you. you can go hide in an area and block it with Darkness. This means that the only option the enemies have is to bumrush though the darkness to get to you, at which point you ambush them in melee.

You can also use it to force enemies to reposition by putting it on top of them.

Darkness is incredibly useful...

It is a way of controlling the battlefield.

Such as casting a hurtful AOE in a choke point then placing darkness on the AOE. Darkness will protect you from ranged attacks by blocking LOS while the enemy are forced to run through the AOE to get sight back.

have you tried casting daylight on one of your dudes? the cleric has it

Abusing darkness is cheap but effective. The AI doesn't know how to handle it.
