if you complete a relic/charm it gains a bonus attribute, usually something very useful, so i'd wait until i have the whole thing b4 enchanting

Playing this just made me want to try Grim Dawn again

this is such a better game than grim dawn imo. i mean the melee feels great in GD but everything else about that game is worse. maybe once it exits early access in another 3 years it'll be worth a replay, but its pretty lovely that you've seen like every monster the game can roll by early act 2

well, too late for that. that relic does seem to drop pretty frequently where i'm at tho (just outside of sparta) so i might do a few more runs through the area to try and find it.

It's just doing a weird hitching thing where is slows Down and the next second it's like fast forwarding

that happens to me whenever I die and sometimes when I teleport on a 960

anyway so I'm curious am I doing something wrong, build-wise, or is running around popping potions a good way to deal with heroic mobs in this game? cus if i stand still and smack them they tend to ruin my poo poo

That's just playing Diablo 2 style games before people decided potion spam was boring. Plus it's essentially a single player RPG so if you can make a completely lovely build its more the game's fault than yours imo.

Obviously unless you're like making a melee mastery character but only using a bow or whatever.

ah, word. it's not that bothersome now that i have a healing spell but since i've only really played diablo III and torchlight II i thought maybe i was doing something fundamentally wrong, like not investing enough in defensive stuff

think i'm gonna try to stack dodge and physical resist by investing in warfare to add to my longevity. i wish i had a few abilities to use though, it'd be nice to get some AOE attacks going

extremebuff

you can stack tons of health regen from gear, and in A2/a3 you get access to relics that boost it even more. dream also has an aura that gives you a lot of regen. it can get to the point where you're basically always under a potion effect

the tooltips aren't very helpful and i couldn't find an answer online: do the chains of skills stack? i invested in a higher level skill for my spear rush thing i can do, but i don't see the option to equip it, so i'm assuming it's just modifying the original skill?

ah, that's pretty cool! i like the mastery and secondary system.

still, looking at the stat progression for the bleed spell, it seems like i made a mistake. i'm not digging hunter too much altogether, so i might start over with an increased loot mod installed.

The circle mastery things are passive and if theyre linked to a skill it modifies them.

hunter is good but the assassin thats all about poison and bleed is worthless lol. all of his skills and stuff revolve around flat damage that starts off insanely powerful but can't do squat in nightmare

later in the nature tree you get a very powerful pet that heals herself and your wolves and buffs everyone's damage and resists

also, all pet damage gets super increased in higher difficulties, so they never become useless

Do you have your horn and your banner and battle rage yet

That and maxed out onslaught is what makes warrior so strong, more especially as you go down those linked trees

Before you have everything it's a really rough game compared to starting like storm

oh yeah the banner is so absurd lol. +1 to all skills, a shitton of damage, crit chance and damage reduction. you take down any boss in seconds through all of normal

I haven't put any points into the horn or battle rage yet lol. I been putting lots of points into nature because I want the Strong wolf

Sharkopath

The battle rage randomly triggers as enemies attack you and makes you do like 3 times as much damage, it's worth putting just 1 point into

The banner is the must have tho, its tooltip doesn't sound very impressive but it makes you tank bosses and do amazing damage to them at the same time when all the effects are taken together

If you get mobbed too you can pop it to save your life
