Scadu Tree Fragments and Misunderstanding

[Veltimere]

Yes its a weird way to balance things but my point to anyone is if you want the game HARD then dont pick the dang things up and use them ... If you want it easy well .... look up a guide and go and search for them all ... it is a simple way to choose your difficulty lvl and its not that bad it encourages you to explore .

the scadu trees doesn't exactly made the game easier at all is just small boost

it's been said a bunch of times before. not everyone agrees with that opinion of yours. understanding the intent behind them doesn't mean we're also going to agree they're not that bad. in my opinion they expose the devs could've balanced the game around armor upgrading and chose to do a lazier approach of scattering these fragments around the map that universally upgrade all builds and playstyles. it strips another layer of strategy and depth out of the games and dumbs it down even further while exposing they didn't need to dumb down the series by removing the armor upgrading system from this and previous games at all. several people dislike it.

i know many enjoy it or think it's just not that bad, but i think it's a bad direction for these kinds of role playing games to go. it's a permanent upgrade and improvement to your characters regardless of build or playstyle you are going for and admitted by the devs to be the only means of progression and getting stronger in the DLC to overcome anything challenging you in it. which means none of the weapons, spells, other items or any build or playstyle will matter as much as simply collecting more of those fragments. it doesn't make sense in a role playing game and i don't think they encourage exploration so much as discourage it. you know if you're struggling on anything in the DLC, your only hope of getting stronger to make it past that is going out and hunting down any more you might not have yet. not trying to level up or find some new weapon, spell, or other item to help you out. just get more fragments. one item.

Here is the table....

leveling sadutree fragments is the most powerboost you can do in the DLC....
even having only 2 Sadutree blessigs is 20% more damage and 17% damage reduction compared to having none......

at max level its 2,05x Damage and 62% damage reduction compared to none

its not a small boost... its the biggest difference anything in the DLC will have on Char strength

Idk. I got 10 on ng 3 and I'm not seeing a difference. I was going fragmentless till the last boss area bc ♥♥♥♥ those divine knights.

I saw maybe a 100 extra attack power and i was getting 2.5 shot to death instead of 2 with 2.3k hp.
