Tales of Maj'Eyal

That ruined dungeon is the endless one if I'm not mistaken.

 

[luj1]

Too bad I won't be entering it lol

I fucked up the puzzle and spawned some level 89 Luminous horror (like a 6th foot skeleton made of light) and it has 11k hp and some weird temporal shields

 

[luj1]

I have an idea, going to play Skeleton Archer next (bow+light armor)

Any suggestions?

 

[Kabas]

Good combo.
Archer doesn't have many generic talents you would want to invest heavily into from what i remember. You can afford putting 5/5/5/5 into skeleton racials.
Edit: grabbing tinkers and getting Fatal Attractor can be really handy.

 

[Lacrymas]

I don't know whether I'd recommend the undead races for a newbie, though.

 

[Kabas]

Just remembered something and checked the wiki. This one might be a bad advice.
FA costs steam, meaning that you will need to sacrifice one of your inscription slots for a steam tank. Might not be worth it.

As an alternative extra generic you might be interested in unlocking Celestial/Chants from escorts. Seems like a popular choice for classes like this.

Having so much fun with Skeleton Archer I cannot believe. And I thought Doombringer was fun but this is crazy

Also took Scoundrel tree and Stealth tree off Escorts

what an amazing character building this game has

Do you have an advice for Archer prodigy?

 

[Cogemesiter]

I just saw that ToME is $3.50, I might get it.

ToME base game is free and open source, the only thing you get for buying it is the Possessor class and knowing you've supported the dev. It's a good game, so buy it if you can spare the cash. The expansions aren't free, though.

Arcane might + Etheral form

Arcane might + Etheral form

That sounds great for any damage dealer lol

I think rn the game plus DLCs are under $10 all together so not a bad deal.

Is there any class in ToME that's like a venomancer or something with damage over time?

Recall running away from overpowered rare as a Cultist of Entropy only to find later that this rare died from all my lingering debuffs and DoTs.
Paradox Mage has some pretty good damage over time spells like attenuate from Flux tree.

 

[luj1]

ok so Cultist of Entropy and Paradox Mage

Corruptor, though it generally only takes 3-4 turns for everything to die, unsure if you can really call that "damage over time." They're the plague/disease class.

 

[luj1]

They're the plague/disease class

i bet bunch of stuff is immune to that

 

[Snufkin]

Rogue with poisons and mystical cunning prodigy. Best race is Krog because you will pump nature dmg. fan of knives will destroy everything.

did you consider rogue?

 

[luj1]

I played rogue. Do you mean trapper rogue?

 

[lukaszek]

as snufkin said, mystical cunning rogue. Bear in mind you can and should reach 50 magic via item boosts.

Anyway you get both traps and poisons. You max poisons stacks with throwing knives(they count as melee, so apply stacks).

 

[luj1]

Alright thanks. I really love DoT in games

 

[lukaszek]

Alright thanks. I really love DoT in games

btw, rogues are hard... dmg output is not the issue, staying alive is.
As such I like halflings here.
Usefulness of hiding depends on your difficulty, unless they have improved that one? High sneak + misdirection results in enemies firing fireballs at each other.
Big damage numbers are good, but I ended up using utility poisons more.
As for traps -> every one is good. just pick favorites.
