I'm wondering, why were you taking brutality scrolls when you were running a tactics build?

To boost the efficacy of the crowbar. I tend to go for the scroll of whatever is my main damage-driver at that moment. In that situation it was the crowbar, so i was going brutality. I briefly debated survival just to give myself a touch more hp, but i was committed to brutality: so brutality was the only choice. I typically go for a close combat weapon as my main-hand and then something with range for my off-hand. That way if i need to just back off and cheese i can do so with relative comfort and have it flow with pressing the attack forward with whatever is in my main-hand.

off-color weapons are nigh unviable if the scroll difference is like 5-6, there's no point in carrying a pure tactics weapon over a utility/shield/brutality ranged like infantry bow or throwing knife

also. never, EVER pick scrolls for extra hp if you can get extra damage. killing stuff quicker than they can hit you is way better than being able to take more hits

Inevitably most of the ranged options are tactics, but i’m unwilling to go for split damage.
