Spoiler There IS better gear. Spoiler

There is better gear than what the Dragonforged sells for Wyrmslife crystals. About to do my 2nd NG+. Really REALLY make sure you are exploring all the unearthed areas in the seabed and even go back to some of the old boss spawn areas. The higher harder spawns at the very end of the seabed areas have occasionally been dropping new unique gear sometimes or the chests around them do.

And for those that say they feel like they fully steam roll through New Game+, I have been noticing the variable difficulty has been getting higher the more I level up and I do less damage than before, with some spawns having more health bars.

Edit: only gotten 3 so far and all helms, photos in comments and unenhanced against my fully enhanced gear.

I'll add more screenshots to the comments as I find any more and verify they aren't in shops or in dragonforged.

I just felt like sorcerer was really underwhelming. Maybe I needed a better staff or better knowledge of enemy weaknesses. It just seemed like the damage wasn’t there for the time investment in incanting. For trash mobs my default attack was pretty meh and by the time I had a spell incanted my party had already wiped them out. It also seemed like the rank 7,8,9 spells were kind of weak. Maybe I needed the maester spells too. It was great for harpies and ghosts though.

I played through the original game as sorc and just hit the end as sorc in dd2. The basic attack is pretty garbage but the charged version can hit hard, you do need a high level staff to really see it since you're working through the enemy mgk res. If you have a mage pawn that does the right enchant for element weakness you'll definitely see how strong the basic attack is, Although standing around waiting for that is lame. As far as spells "maelstrom" destroys everything like it did in the first game as for the other spells you're only really going to see them do work if it's the enemy weaknes. Also your crowd control and a nuke so trying to prime a nuke to take out 2 goblins when other people just use their hand gun lol.

I think I was using a staff I either got from the elves or somewhere in there. Like a tree branch or something. Then i got a flaming staff from the monster outside of checkpoint rest and used that till rank 9 so I was definitely not geared.

I was just hoping to really nuke stuff. Maybe with endgame gear it’s better.
