Freeze never (rarely?) works on bosses.


You need to actually encircle and trap them.

Any general advice for leveling a cleric to be a healslut with some DPS? Just hit level 15, takes forever to kill things when Heal and Cure are down.

Right now I'm looking at Cleric>Priest>Priest>Priest>Chaplain>Cleric>Plague Doctor

Switch between a mace and sword depending on which mobs you are fighting to take advantage of weaknesses.
Load up on the blessing damage attribute.
Priest 1 and Priest 2 bring relatively big power spikes because of blessing and sacrament, so just hang in there for a few more levels.

What's the current demand for tanky classes and builds? ToSbase says that they're favored in group play for their crowd control abilities, but it looks like goons are into PvP?

I live in Brazil with comparatively a pretty bad ping when compared to US friends so I like the buffer zone of extra HP that being a tank class confers on you.

Hit a leveling slump with my sword around 34 today and my buddy and I ported over to Orsha, ran through some n00b zones and got to the lvl 30+ zones. You can breeze through them and they help fill in that exp gap so you don't have to grind the gently caress out of Tenet Church. Not sure if this is standard practice or not. Or if it is efficient. Any other suggestions for leveling?

Yo can a more experienced player comment on my build plans? Mostly I want to hit things many times, very hard. The level in Peltasta is just so I can take aggro away from my friends who are gonna be playing with me, who BOTH decided to be different flavors of ultra squishy mage.

Sometimes you reach a stalemate. Sometimes you get magic horses.
I'll say it here guys, but don't be afraid to go into voice comms in discord. Four or five of us have been playing together pretty regularly for the past four days (my attendance is going to decrease because work is starting up again :v:) and we've gotten to just before rank 5 tonight. Even those of us who didn't play in the betas now have a little bit of knowledge up to that point and are happy to share.

As far as levelling goes, we ended up hitting every area on the map that was appropriate to our level. Usually there will be two to three parallel tracks of maps that are all within the same level range. If you hit all three of the lines you'll end up with piles of experience cards and money. I know the token definitely helps, but I haven't actually been grinding because of the sheer quantity of experience cards I've received from hitting every quest everywhere. The best killing experience is just doing dungeons, but otherwise in these earlier levels I'd say do quests.

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

I'm only taking 1 circle of Wizard and my understanding is that basically none of the skills will matter that much, right? 1 point in Earthquake for CC, some points in Energy Bolt for a fast, cheap, AoE attack, maybe 1 point in Lethargy for the attribute, but outside of that I won't really be using the skills? Heard that Sleep takes long to cast, and Energy Shield doesn't do a lot and takes up a buff slot.

Also, Subzero Shield basically Energy Shield, but better, right?

Sep 7, 2012

*sigh* sure. it's a weed joke
lethargy is ok because at 3 pts into it, you can get an attribute that increases damage dealt to lethargic targets. sleep is prob the best c1 wiz skill because it works on any not boss. eshield sucks, 1 ebolt if you need another spell to cast at ranged and it is a knock back.

subzero shield is a bit different but yeah mostly the same.

Wait, is the overkill exp really removed? That's like 100% of the reason I went Peltasta 2. If i don't get any overkill bonus exp I don't need peltasta 2 at all, it's strictly cooldown based overkill damage.

How do you get a token if you don't already have a token activated? I don't understand why every token on the AH is 500k when people are willing to person to person trade for much less. I'm assuming I can't just buy it off someone who has the ability to trade.

500k is the minimum the AH will let you sell a token for

That's annoying, but not unexpected.

I really like the peltasta 350% damage rim blows and stuff. I'm pretty sure it's the hardest hitting ability in the game after a block for a good long while, but I'm thinking I'm going to be busy doing so many other things that the -50% attack is too big a nerf to get two good rim blow/umbo blows in.

In beta my friend used the personal buying shops and selling yourself overpriced junk I think. Didn't get market cut that way but you need premium to even make the shop and I'm not sure if it still works.

I'm doing a pretty similar build except likely Fencer at T7. I'm gonna max Helm Chopper instead of adding any into Frenzy in Barb, and in Pelt I've gone Umbo 5, Rim 4, Guardian 1 (since its only used for the passive ability of + evasion %), and Swash Buckling 5. Swash Buckling is pretty much the only reason people take a circle in Pelt. Its also worth noting that Swash Buckling will not steal aggro, it will only effect things that are not already aggro'd. You can't pull enemies off of your friends afaik. At least, it didn't work that way when I've been playing with Silento, but it could have something to do with damage thresholds or something, since he was higher level and putting out FAR more damage than I. This was with Provoke level 10 as well.
This is adapted from other goons builds and discussion in Discord.

Fair warning for anyone going a similar route: you're gonna be really weak and kills things really, really slowly early on. Pelt is poo poo at putting out damage and until you get into Barb and get more damage output skills you're not going to be killing quickly. I've been killing things I'm pretty overleveled for when not questing and its better than fighting same-level or slightly higher level monsters because its so much easier to kill them.

Yeah the Peltasta points that didn't go into swash buckling were just kind of a big question mark for me as a whole. Is Frenzy not worth it? It seems like combined with the additional dagger auto-attacks from corsair and deeds of valor from dopple it would add up significantly eventually, but does it still not add up?

The game is pretty bad about directing you to content available to you. I'd suggest looking at the full map for areas around your level that you haven't done and go there to do quests there.

I had to delete the game, go into steamapps, delete the folder with the data thats still there, and then re-install the game for it to work. Looks like deleting local data isn't enough, the residual files will gently caress up any installation you do afterwards.
