Blightheart "dexterity affliction"???? help

[Davide]

Just got Blight heart, the soulbound arquebus.

Requires 30 dexterity afflictions to level up. How do i do dexterity afflictions on my pure ranged ranger?????

I dont understand

[DragonRyu]

Dexterity Afflictions like Paralyze, Immobilize and Hobbled. Ranger's WOUNDING SHOT upgrade to HOBBLED SHOT LV3 and LV5 Binding Roots. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Holy crap, i dont have it, i have the marked prey one. Now thanks to a retarded and nonsensical mechanics i have to retrain my level 20 ranger. Usually i'd never care of soulbound stuff, but i have to win the achievement after maxing out one of them.

Is only me or soulbound stuff are just plain stupid? SMH

Agreed. Maybe they did it on purpose for replayability.

The weapon has hobble on it's cone attack.. though you have to be pretty close to enemies it to hit.

"Living Wood: 20% chance to cast Corrode Damage cone AoE from self and Hobble target on attack"

Yeah usually soulbound item have the required affliction in their effect, so you don't need to train a char just for that.

its you

[Davide]

They're not even that strong, i have far better legendary arquebuses for my ranger. Same for the other classes of my companions. Meh

[Archon]

Its just you

[Deo]

those requirements are totaly stupid, haha
i got an ice shield from BoW DLC which required 100 afflictions to level up, lol, thats on my tank who totaly immune to any afflictions... devs gone crazy

[Davide]

In most cases they force you to play differently from your style and this is retarded. Take Modwyr for example, a soulbound sword only usable by the watcher till you sever the bound. My watcher is a pure ranged ranger. Im not using melee at all, only firearms. But im forced to equip and use this sword just to know who the sword originally belonged to so i can give it back to the owner and release it from my service.

And yes i know i can skip this completely by checking the solution on the internet and going directly to the owner without levelling the sword up. But this is not the way i like to play rpg games.

Deadfire is a really good game polluted by stupid developers decisions i will never understand

[Deo]

yep, in first PoE all this soulbound stuff was much easier/more fun
in second i didn't leveled up a single artifact in my 200 hours because of those stupid requirements. I was playing BoW DLC when every thing around was already dead, and here they give me both frost shield and frost chest armor, both requiring 100 afflictions to level up, and they don't even count simultaneously so you need 200 afflictions total, looooool
i would hang the man who made this, and who thinks THIS is what makes game good

[Reaver79]

Honestly suffering a 200 afflictions for a tank should not be the biggest problem..

[Deo]

no it's not, question is where to find those, he got only 5 through half of BoW

[Reaver79]

Almost half of the special attacks/spells throws off a affliction, if your having problems getting them your doing something wrong i'd say.. That aside i hear the undercity in nekata has some lovely green pits that debuffs ya as well..

I think its a little un fair to say you want to RP, but get upset when the game gives your a chance to do just that.. RP. Its a magic sword!!! If you want to learn more about it you use it. It would only be bull &6*& if the game didnt let you use it at all. Its not the world fault you decided to be a ranger.
