ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I find skeleton mages don't usually get me unless I am already compromised by something else. As others have said, the key is to take cover, or rush it, usually the former. The shade used to kill me a lot, but now that I am aware of his danger I just lure him out of his long corridor. (or more often...

Cool idea! I have something quick to add though. Maybe add in some rare powers that are penalties, and that add to the budget remaining. I really like the idea of randarts that force you to consider tradeoffs. Keeping them rare compared to positive powers would stop you from just having budgeting lo...

Ya, I move almost exclusively with the mouse for that reason.

Ya, I finally learned how important resists are, and it has made a HUGE difference. I even just finished my last playthrough (in which I finally finished the game) with only 60% stun for most of the time (until the end fight, when I switched to a certain 100% stun resist ring). It seems to me that c...

Yup I sure do. I kept intending to get rid of it for something better, but I never really found anything that seemed worth forcing myself to think about encumbrance heh. I think what really made this run go smoothly was the two 450 dmg shield runes i found in Paths and in Old Forest in a troll vault...

I found that there were some moments mid game when i wanted to keep casting some of the more expensive spells, or plow through some endurance moments where I wanted to keep spamming throw and channel, when having a few mana regain gems was incredibly useful.

Ya, and that was my AOE attack. My Critical Shots sometimes got up above 2k. That light source really helped with that

I see. Well that makes me feel a little better about finally giving up heh.

The thing I don't like about that, is that then it takes twice as long to throw every bomb, even if you have maxed out alch protection and there are no escortees in sight. I know people are encouraged to play these games slow and deliberate, but I like having the option to speed on through if I am s...

Am I at least walking in the right place to find underwater cave? Along rivers? Shoreline? both?

And I always find the crypt on my first time out after level 20.

I can't find it. I have walked on every river tile and every shoreline tile at least 3 times now. This is the second time I have had a shot at the blue wizards and i want to give it everything I can, which means not going to high peak until I find that cave...

Advice anyone?

Heh, nice name.

Could we maybe indicate which runes are scaling with stats in the tooltip after they are applied? Is that even possible with the current setup? it's helpful to know when deciding what to overwrite.
