Why is poison so powerful/game breaking?

[Lu Bu]

ALL stats are reduced by 25-50% when you're poisoned. With a game about a party of 3, why is this even a thing? You can have a great go at a game and have the it ended quickly from even just one party member being poisoned. In a game where you manage a party of three, that can end your game no matter the success. It gets even more game breaking the further you get in the game because of the scale of cost to manage the upkeep of the party (in my opinion).

In other words, why would you scale the cost of everything in the game so hard per level, with no consideration to the fact poison HAS to be addressed immediately? And not even because the character is losing health, but because they're just useless in a fight?

Swamp boots FTW - one of the most essential items in the game.

So like .. When you exaggerate things, you really lose a lot of sympathy from anyone who knows you're exaggerating ..

So yeah .. Poison reduces your stats 5pts for each point you have .. It lasts three turns. Let's do the math here .. If your lowest stat is a 50, then 5 times 3 is 15 / 50. Your lowest stat is cut 30%.
And the stat your character will use is .. 15 / 75 === 20%. If you have all three points of poison ..

Seriously, what are you doing with all three points of poison.
Are you attending poison parties ?

It doesn't make your units useless and it makes things like Panax actually useful. Also it means you know .. You have to plan things.

In advance.

If you want to complain about stat dropping things, talk about curse .. ( don't actually talk about curse ) which literally drops a stat by a clean 33%, instead of a static 5pts.

.. The cost scaling isn't hard because gold itself scales, and if you know that the cost scales you know .. You can ..

Buy stuff .. Before it scales. .. Cuz you know about it now.

Maybe if you have a problem with poison, try buying Panax .. They're in every realm for purchase for a reason.

So like... I'm like... Laughing like.. Did you even play this game?

Math right?

Warrior level 4
Strength stat = 88

I gained 2 poison dots. Strength stat plummeted from 88 to 53. Math right..? (88-53)/53 = 63.5% stat reduction.

That's just one stat.

I prefer a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ curse because it drops only one stat, as opposed to poison that does this for ALL stats.

I guess enough to tell you there's no " Warrior " class.

XD

It even states in the wikipedia that it drops stats by 5 points only.

So you're going to try to say that 2 poison drops your stats by 35 points. .. So like .. 17.5 per poison ? That's a pretty random number to choose.

Also .. That's a 36.5% reduction .. Leaving you with a total of 63.5% ..

Also a pretty random number for two points of poison.

If you want to test it yourself, just make three of the same characters, walk into some poison, and you'll see it .. 5 points. Go try it yourself.

You shouldn't be laughing so hard at someone giving you proper tips on how the game works while you yourself are afflicted by a curse of idiocy and can't even count by multiples of 5.

P.S. Where can i buy the DLC for the Warrior class? Must have missed it

probably means woodcutter you pedants

[Beer Squirrel]

ALWAYS carry at least one Panax (preferrably three - one for each party member)
