So, I finally had the chance of playing this game and it's awesome. Well, the story is not very deep and it feels a lot like a Diablo rip-off, but it's a very solid game overall. I played the game in Normal Mode with - possibly - what came out to be the easiest class which is the Alchemist / Lore My build was Lv 36 / Fame 22 STR 28 DEX 25 DEF 55 MND 95 Nether Imp 10 Thorned Minions 6 Pet Mastery 10 Alchemical Golem 10 Burning Bind 6 Beam Golem 9 Ember Shield 5 Spells Heal all V Elemental Protection VI My pet had Summon Zombies IV Summon Skeleton IV I never died once. Actually I haven't tried the extra dungeon, because I retired my hero before knowing about that. I am now playing Hard Mode with a Battle Alchemist (I cheated by using a sort of Hero Editor for editing the level and skill/stat pts) and now my build is like this Lv 36 / Fame 22 STR 32 DEX 92 DEF 63 MND 28 Pyre 1 Armor Expertise 10 Ember Shield 10 Infuse 10 Frailty 10 Ember Phase 10 Ember Sentry 10 Spells None yet. Hard Mode is Hard I started with a melee character without Ember Shield and w/ Block and Parry (lv10 = 20% block), but at the first Ember phase portal I kept on dying so after trying some different skill setups I found out that a ranged (currently double wielding pistols) alchemist is safer, I slow down enemies with Frailty, throw fire bombs (aka Pyre) and finish them off from the distance. What I don't like about this game is this thing that you cannot change difficulty with the same character (or at least I haven't figured it out). Luckily there's this Char Editor so you can clone your character and play Diablo-like (Normal, Nightmare, Hell). Well, how about you? What's you character? What do you suggest?
I too really enjoyed this game. played it through once with the destroyer and wrecked havoc. I've sense then formatted and didn't save anything so I started over. Didn't get to far in the game the 2nd play time through, but I have started all 3 types of characters. Yes, the alchemist is pretty good. Don't really care too much for the vanquisher though. All I have to say is Frost FTW! My cat would freeze all the enemies on the screen and my Destroyer would simply jump in the mix and kill everything before they knew wtf was going on. Beat the game in 13.5 hours. Anyway, my stats for my first play through are: Xavier: Dual Wield Destroyer character lvl 43 fame lvl 27 hp: 3100 mana: 230 strength: 149 (1079-2157) dex: 4 (0-0) magic: 5 (445-890) def: 140 (552-1104) resist: poison: 293 lightning: 152 fire: 281 ice: 288 spec: berserker: slash attack: 1/10 dual wielding: 10/10 adventurer: 10/10 critical strikes: 8/10 titan: titan stomp: 10/10 martial weapons expertise: 10/10 spectra: armor expertise: 10/10 pet mastery: 10/10 character spells: identify item retribution iv elemental overload vi heal all vi pet: Scratch: dps cat hp: 3385 mana: 235 melee dmg: 823-1645 elemental dmg: 0-0 ranged dmg: 0-0 armor mitigation: 478-956 pet spells: frost vi dervish v
this game is similar to fate, a game i gave away. for those who played fate, they should know that it wasn't really about the story of the game but the treasure hunting and the level-up. it's almost like diablo. it wasn't really about the story but you as a character progressing. there is a feeling you get when you finally level up your character, that feeling is awesome.
Uh yeah, there's this page I forgot to mention. Also - a little OT here - who will be playing the MMO when it'll be released?
