ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Thanks for the post. I'll add some things about submitting trees:

- It has to be a full 4-talent tree, not just a single talent.
- You can volunteer any talent tree(s) you want, and any number of trees you want, as long as it is your own work. Don't volunteer trees from other people's addons.
- Micbran is running the challenge, so Micbran decides whether or not a tree gets added. I don't.
- You will get credit in the addon description, but probably not in-game.
- If your tree includes commensurate changes to items (e.g. adding talent mastery for your category to fixedarts), you need to tell us. I can add those changes to the addon and make them only apply when Weekly Adventurer is actually selected, but I need to know that the changes exist.
- If your tree has known bugs, you also need to tell us. It makes it easier to fix them, and trees with bugs I can't easily fix are not likely to be added.

Micbran, I'd like to suggest that you make a separate thread in the Addons forum for submitting talent trees.

Is it intended for the trees to be almost all at 1.3 mastery?

I suspect the "almost" is weird, I know it was intended to be at 1.3

Done. Nightmare Adventure (+1 point for 0 deaths? )



Made it in under the 2:30 mark too:

I basically dove every single dungeon, including Dreadfell. The trees this time around are pretty overpowered and allow for straightforward play.

Nice job, I spent less time fiddling with this one and just sorta rolled a few and went with the most OP to make up for the train wreck of 4 necro trees last time. I’d like the next challenges to be more difficult than this, for future reference.

I made the trees 1.3 mastery because that's what most players will be accustomed to for most talent categories. It's easy to change in future versions if needed. (This was part of the motivation behind making a dedicated addon; it lets us easily tweak things like this, as well as number of starting category/class/generic points, etc.)

Survival being the exception with 1.00 mastery is also intentional. The mean Survival mastery for vanilla classes is 1.04; only Rogue, Marauder, and Skirmisher have 1.3. That said, it could obviously be changed to 1.3 without much consequence.

I take it the previous caveat about trainable talent trees still applies? Yes to mindstar mastery, staff combat and the shoot talent? Otherwise anyone that goes with the sling talents is a little inconvenienced this run, due to the lack of the shoot talent. I would suggest adding this as a known talent from birth, in fact.

In fact, every Weekly Adventurer currently starts with Mindstar Mastery and Staff Combat unlocked, in an attempt to avoid shoehorning you into one weapon type.

Not starting with the Shoot talent was an oversight that will be fixed in the next version.

Done. Cornac on Normal Adventure, again. Zero deaths this time, though. Basically rushed the whole way through the t1's and t2's and went straight to Dredfell. Like tabs said, the talents this time around were pretty powerful.

What happened to the google doc?

Well, madness was too strong and I couldn't do it with double shields.

Nightmare/Adventure winner, no deaths: https://te4.org/characters/220494/tome/ ... 32239c9282

This week's random adventurer is probably more optimized then any of the adventurer builds that I've tried in the past. I'm probably going to continue playing this character, who feels absurdly strong.

Double slings and vital shoot/kill shoot rocks .

there's the googledoc if anyone is wondering, for some reason it's not in the OP of this thread
