I hate shadow wars...

[jaxross4]

So I've beaten the main story just not shadow wars and I know you need to in order to get the "true Ending" but I just find the game a horrible grind now My Uruks drop in almost one hit I'm level 50 yet they throw enemy captains that are way above my level and it just because this horrible mess that makes me lose all interest in the game I'm probably the only one who feels like this but I just really hate shadow wars...

If you're in it for the achievement of finishing the game just grind it out and reach at least till 65. That's the highest they threw at me during the shadow wars on the Brutal difficulty.

But if you just want to see the ending, youtube is your friend.

I know I'm stating the obvious on the second part but if you're feeling burned out from the game you could just take a break first till you feel like coming back to it. Besides you can just pretend that Talion's on a stale mate at the moment with the entire shadow wars going on while you're on break from the game.

I don't have any interest in Shadow Wars. Just a bunch of sieges. Pretty tedious. I'll do a few but that's about it.

ShadowWars were easy & alot of fun.
Gamers who are under leveled when they do them means they rushed through the game
and will probably struggle..
~If you were to farm Legendary captains for 2 hours
You should get atleast 5-7 Legendaries for your army.
You could also be lazy(the M.O. of one under levbeled)
and do Vendettas or conquest..
But for every 4-7 captains killed a legendary will spawn.
Or you can just make one or spend the 20k and make one.
MinMorgal is the ideal place to do this as the Captains are always close by.

Yeah I think I pretty much rushed through the game I was level 51 when doing the sieges but I'm giving the game a break for now I don't wanna lose all interest in the game so I'm taking a step back for now.

Love the first shadow war in Seregost, dont know how many vendettas I did involving those fancy One boys xd.
A shame many try it around lvl40

I understand Dude... Happened to me on my 1st playthrough around launch.
Back in the awesome era b4 the great change.. Orc Loot crates were amazing.
but that's another topic for sure..Maybe i'll post a thread about that...

~But my 1st playthrough i was level 80 when i finished it & barely touched the Isildur new skills... I did my 10 rounds and that was that..It's super easy & i dunno why people complain.. Just pull the harder Orcs to a far away roof lol & deal with em later or whatevs.

**The fun i am having on this run is exploring the other armor sets like the one that jacks you up when you are on fire & the bombs when you do the ground explosion.
But the one where your damage increases after you pick up Money is a special set for sure..
Ya equip the runes that make the avg grunt drop coins & all of a sudden you are a beast...
**Im just now starting to eplore the poison set & the final one with the undead orc allies.
Kind alame since all the undead really do is tank for you..

~One thing i constantly do for fun is on a Vendetta in Liliad err Lithiad ugh whatevs!
obviously the vendetta where your in the fortress.. You can pull 15 archers to one high up high in th emiddle of the map and watch all hell break lose...
~~Part b for Vendetta fun factor or strategy is anytime you see a Marksman captain in a vendetta(not the main target) you put him up high and his SNIPER BLAST Shot wrecks everyone.. You just hear the carnage wherever you are.. I like how the captains usually stay up in the up highs...
~It's fun to convert almost every Orc Captain in a Vendetta in a fortress and pull em to the middle and the enemies keep respawing and afte rlike 5 minutes there coins & gems everywhere...

~~Last but not least is Stormbringer & The Spider Olog & all these weird rare Cpatains i only recently discovered.. To each his own.. Im trying to max those Isildur skills. im bout 1/2 way.. I think it's a secret achievment to max those & to kill 200 Graugs.. i cant confirm. cause i havent & done follow achievments....
Wish you the best Brother....

Thats the fun part, if you hang in Seregost you can still avenge rushy players xd. Just a shame for Joe we cant brand the Ones...

@Steven: By Spider Olog you mean the Thrall? This one is from Eltariel Dlc, not a death cheater. Very common online.
You should try the Slaughter set, bloody mess-_-.
Isildur skills, you mean Talion skills? Useless to max them, and where did you see this achievement thing?

I failed playing the DLC. Esp the SHe Elf one. My God it was awful.
I do plan on doing Branor at some point.
~The Achievment thing was some BS i read in a youtbe comment recently.
Slaughter Set for sure!
Yeah Isildur skills are the skills afte ryou get Isildurs ring.
It's just what i called it...
re they useless because they are lame skills or are they bugged?
~im not famring the skills & don't have Ecperience Runes equipped or anything but welcome the skills since im playing.
Maxed the might & Pet damage/defense & 1/2 way on the Critical damage.
Along with atleast 1 piece of armor also having Critical chance bonus.
Not that even know how much crit damage is in SOW.

[Pandora]

Isildur skills are the Prestige points? Was assuming you meant those post game fancy necro skills.
At least its easy to lvl up at this point, cant say its abusive grinding like others game where we waste hours for 1 lvl-_-.
With those little % boosts, not sure its worth it. For pets it depends of the difficulties and foes traits (finding a no beast slayer or beast proof guy post game is quite lame).

I didn't find the Shadow Wars to be that hard but they were definitely tedious. Every fight is just this huge clusterf*** with me spending half my time reviving captains that are near death and trying to not get backstabbed. After you do a few of them, they all start to feel the same.

I did five of them to get the last trophy and trigger the ending but I read the game originally required you to do 20/30 of them. That would have been horrible so thank goodness they reduced it.

I failed playing the DLC. Esp the SHe Elf one. My God it was awful.

Why? Her light powers are awesome for atomizing entire groups of enemies. I liked the unique captain fights as well since they didn't have regenerating troops...just one-on-one brawls.

I do plan on doing Branor at some point.
~The Achievment thing was some BS i read in a youtbe comment recently.

Branor's fun too...I felt they did a good job of giving the DLC characters enough uniqueness that you don't miss Talion's moveset. Of course, if you thought Eltariel sucks then you'll probably hate Branor and whine about the death penalty.

Along with atleast 1 piece of armor also having Critical chance bonus.

By far the best armor perk is the one to refill your HP to max when you do the QTE to save your life. Combine that with the Perk to be able to save yourself with the QTE twice and you've got two full health refills for doing the death-save QTE. Not bad.
