ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Just the thought of basing it on time is giving me flashbacks to gambling in Diablo 2. It's just a matter of time until I get that rare with life steal. That doesn't seem preferable to me over the way things are right now. I do think the current set up is a little too metagamey though, once you unde...

Bad luck for me, he always finds me early. Biggest space I had to work with was a large open room, although that might have been enough on my Bulwark if I could have stunned him to put his ranged ability on cooldown. It wasn't doing much damage when I tried kiting, but with no way to heal it was add...

Hm, I was just thinking about this the other day. I found him to be impossible at level 3 on my Bulwark, as he was basically just a better version of me. Precise Strikes helped to hit him, but the def from Shield Wall didn't stop him from hitting me with that 40+ accuracy of his (or whatever it is)....

Even still, plenty of enemies use aoe skills quite... indiscriminately.

People have already covered most of what I would add, but here are a few things: 1) In Daikara, at least (I forget where else, although I'm sure someone else can say), watch out for Xorn.

All the weapons they sell in Zigur are nature-based. So you have "quick ___ of ruin" as one of the top tiers. There may be some higher-level artifacts that are not arcane -- I think Blood-Letter is safe. Not sure what all of the choices are, but that should get you somewhere. Blood-Letter...

I had one category point, from hitting level 30. I decided to pick up my fifth inscription slot, so I used a healing infusion to bring up the dialog to spend that point. It gave me the message about having too many of that kind of infusion (didn't realize I could only have two, it's my first charact...
