Does the combat take forever or am i just bad??

[YeaWeLost]

I like the game, the story, and the progression. My biggest issue is how long some of these fights last. I had the best gear (that i could buy as a warrior) in the capital area and fights with bigger monsters just seem to take waaaay too long and not really engaging or difficult. For example, I was taking an ox cart from the capital to Melve and about half way through i got woken up because a griffin attacked. Im focusing the head and brought the griffin down multiple time for vulnerable hits and eventually was able to kill it, but it took like 30 minutes. After this i kept following the path to Melve and ran into it not far away heading BACK to the capital, assuming it actually goes the whole way and then returns this would mean i was in the fight for a long time. This has been a reoccurring problem with griffins and ogres in batahl, and the fights aren't hard it just seems like they are all extremely healthy and i dont do any significant damage to them. I have pawns that are my level (around lvl 25) and max vocation for warrior.

TL;DR: Are the fights with bigger monsters suppose to take 30-40 minutes or am i just missing something?

They don't take that long lol! It just seems like it.

Loaded question.

Depends on vocation, equipment, level, and skills. For everyone in the party.

Become a trickster, and you'll truly see slow combat.

But 30 minutes on a Warrior? Really?
Just spam heavenly on all heads, most boss monsters take 5 minutes tops, and at lvl30-40 like 30 secs

But if you're like level 10 or something, yes the fights start soon become shorter as your STR gets up

If it's taking you 30-40 minutes to down low tier monsters like the Ogre and Cyclops you're doing something very wrong.

If it's taking 30-40 minutes to down a griffin you're probably under-leveled a bit? Maybe your gear is bad and/or not upgraded? Perhaps you're playing your vocation wrong/inefficiently?

Hard to say without seeing how you fight. The mechanics should be fairly obvious to you by now, so if you have that down then there's something else at play here.

It shouldn't take that long. You are doing something wrong.

Yeah, currently in my 40s at the moment and drakes are the longest fight for now. Unless you end up with two golems or in one case it took a bit b/c it started with a cyclops, then a minnie showed up. Then a goat lion....

For Warrior? Knockdown is esp key once you get what I'd call mid range level weapons. Check out the border town for the griffin mallet if you want to take down big bird even faster.
