I'm playing a 2 handed weapon/crit build, I'm level 26 and I'm playing on veteran difficulty.
I am getting bodied by Galahad, I can't keep my health up enough and only get in maybe 2-3 hits before he downs me.
Any tips or tricks to deal with him in melee?
My husband and I have been married for 5 years this year. On September 23rd 2023 I took him to the ER since he was having extreme abdominal pain. Turns out due to a hernia his stomach was up by his heart and twisted. He went into emergency surgery. But due to complications they had to induce a coma, which he was in for the whole month of October. Almost died several times during it.
​
Now he is physically disabled. Don't get me wrong I love him to death and would give up my very life for him. But being the only one working while we rent a room from my mom is borderline torture. All the financial responsibility is on me, and it is crushing me.
​
I struggled with agoraphobia for 3 1/2 years a short time before his hospitalization. So the roles were reversed and he had it all on him. He brings that up from time to time, but his stint being the only income ended. Mine will likely be for the rest of our lives.
​
I want to make it clear, I have no intention of leaving him over this. I am with him to the end, ride or die. But the pressure is killing me. I don't know what to do.

Dinner is a new smothered cabbage recipe I tried out. Pretty good, don't know if I'll make it again tho, lots of work for just ok food.
So not to long ago in my friend's chronicle a Gargoyle crashed through the attic window of our pack's second haven. Bleeding on the floor, wounded by Hunters. My Tremere, who is the Ductus of the pack aided it in hopes of getting a boon from it. Which I did, well a boon for the pack technically... It didn't want to owe a Tremere, but owing the pack as a whole was fine.
The Lamia in the pack is our Priest, and called a Tzimisce friend of hers to take the gargoyle as a guest, as a favor to her. The Tzimisce agreed. While they took the Gargoyle there, my Tremere cleaned up while he was doing so I used Path of Blood to determine some info about the Gargoyle. Found out it's a 6th Gen, and it has committed diablerie, most likely against the Tremere that made it.
The pack Priest found out from talking to it that the Gargoyle was a special case. A Tremere wanted to see if they could turn a Cappadocian into a Gargoyle.... This Gargoyle is the result of that. Due to the closeness of Cappadocians and Lamias, the pack Priest vowed to protect the Gargoyle. Whereas the Tremere clan has a kill order out on all Gargoyles.
So a 6th Gen ex-Cappadocian Gargoyle being protected by a Lamia..... a Lamia who is the Priest of our pack.
Been trying to wrack my brain with a way to kill the Gargoyle, preferably without alerting the Lamia to my involvement in it's death.
Any suggestions? Or is it too risky to even try?
My Tremere has Path of Blood at 5, Path of levinbolt at 2, and Path of Mercury at 4, Dominate at 4, Auspex at 2, and Animalism at 1. Plan is to bump Dominate up to 5, learn Presence from Brujah gf, and alternate upping Presence and Auspex till they're maxed out.
