Good killing Bob. I was saying since there's interest in this game again, we should organize like everyone making a Lvl 1 guy and playing through the game together.

i'm down. i love this loving game

also i never knew how much survivability i had until i tried something totally different. my sword n board marauder has so much armor+life+regen that he's basically the terminator and if anything manages to hurt him at all he instantly heals, but my mages have died all over act 3 lmao

I have a bunch of skills that increase my physical damage. Gems that convert part of my physical damage to to elemental damage, does that happen before or after I get the physical bonus? In other words, will I just not get as great a damage bonus, or will that damage bonus be converted to elemental damage?

Also I would say a currency stash tab is another must buy. I use a premium tab labeled $ at the moment and it only takes like a week of playing before it's almost full of currency.

I guess if you didn't hoard wisdom scrolls you wouldn't have my problem

it's after the physical bonus, so you deal even more elemental damage in proportion to your physical

if youre somehow overflowing with currency after putting in 300 hours in one week like retard larry you can also trade up, the vendors let you buy the next currency tier w/ nearly everything. ex. 3x wis for portal, 7x portal for transmute etc.

Holy poo poo. There's a miniboss in the Labyrinth named Argus that is possibly one of the most annoying assholes ever. He spams blood rage and charge and does like 800 physical damage a hit. I had to leave the area to get more charges like twice to kill him, heavily abusing blink arrow sometimes making the AI retarded

the bonus treasure key is awesome because you're lucky if the boss drops more than 1 lol. but yeah the optional bosses in the lab do nooot gently caress around at all

I don't have lightning penetration or conductivity on hit so Izaro hosed my lightning arrow guy pretty hard. Good waste of an hour IMO. I got like 4 levels in there

Maybe I'll buy Fortify and just use that for bosses since none of them resist physical as much as they do elemental

the lab is pretty easy to clear in like 10 minutes but it's also really fun to fully explore and find all the secret chests and poo poo, i love it. it's just really lovely that if you die once that's it

I have a compulsion where I usually full clear every area, even in Normal. so the lab takes me ages

Thinking about getting back into this too. Considering a marauder 2h axe cyclone build, are they still any good?

Larry Parrish

by Jeffrey of YOSPOS
I don't think Cyclone is considered the best aoe melee skill any more because melee splash support got buffed and so did stuff like lightning strike. So you could do infernal strike or viper strike and have it be competitive now

Cyclone is still good I'm just saying you can do almost anything that involves hitting people melee and it will be capable of beating merciless

You buy currencies with other ones as opposed to vendor recipes were you sell certain things in exchange for something else

i think in a2 you get an ability called sunder, it shoots an anime wave out that hits hard, and the hits cause shockwaves for even more dmg so it completely shreds groups. you also get an earthquake and poo poo, they added way more interesting high level melee skills

Noice. Im also waiting for the atk speed inrease so I can stack green bonus gems on leap and use it to just comically flatten people around the map, which is something that pops up in a2 from what I remember.

just fought a boss in titan quest who can kill me in one hit, and read online that you need an unrealistic amount of stun resistance for this difficulty to be able to survive him. [italian chef kissing fingers] epic.
