ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Just won with this, admittedly only on normal - https://te4.org/characters/9893/tome/896f14e5-6943-45d5-a105-27ad55fe3b54 It makes the class waaaay more fun to play - I went full on save stacking to replace spectral shield, got it up to 100% conversion, it was awesome. Relentless retaliation got A B...

Just two semi minor things I found after brief testing with the primal chosen - Having combat training as a locked tree makes hitting things a reaaal pain, since you don't have accuracy, and the class has too many good locked trees for you to get everything you want as it is :( Also as near as I can...

Rogues get nimble movements/tumble/vault. Cursed get reckless charge, blindside, and rampage. 'Zerkers get fearless cleave and an asston of AoE. Reavers have ranged attacks and a bunch of AoE. Marauders are just berserkers with GWF and dual weapons. It's the combination of only rush, no AoE to relia...

Alrighty. Problems. I ain't touching rush - way too many classes use that tree, and it's really not in a bad spot. I like gray's idea, but it doesn't have to replace the current one. Mainly I don't wanna mess with other classes. RE Grand Slam being too good - Honestly, the numbers were my guess. As ...

Marauders still get GWF. Also, I should probably give an update, because I did a bunch of work today. Flow of Battle has been split up - the stamina regen shifted over to Shield Expertise, and the miniblock on kill has been put on the talent that's replacing it. Grand Slam, for want of a better name...

Welp, that's my bad. I always have autoassign disabled so I never noticed it. As for Last Stand - It has the stamina drain because otherwise you'd turn it on forever. It gives over a thousand hp. I'm really hesitant to increase block amounts, since that can end up with you becoming outright immortal...

I played a skeleton bulwark through to 17. Halfway through the t2s. Honestly, feels good. Real good. The extra stamina/survivability from flow of battle does wonders, and getting the block not ending on hit is a gamechanger. Last Stand was always good, but the pin killed it. Shield wall is just shie...

Undead wearing the cloak of deception get lua errors instead of 'do you want to buy this item'. Removing the cloak fixes it. This means getting the cloak upgrade renders the bazaar unusable, which makes me thing it's related to faction. I'm not sure if the problem is here or in zomnibus, though. Lua...

Not gonna touch any of the more colourful posts in here, but this did spawn a very...Interesting? Discussion. So it all worked out for the best. Now we never have to bring it up eeeeever again~

I couldn't figure it out. Sorry, am dumb. But you and Edge went quite a ways in convincing me on stuff, so this version of the tree is less 'different' and more 'better'. Shield Wall lost the damage penalty, Last Stand lost the pin but gained a stamina drain, and Shield Expertise just got the block ...

Biiig discussion happened in IRC and some stuff changed, most notably Last Stand. First attempt is just gonna be the current one with the pin removed and a stamina drain. It was pointed out that Razakai's version is really unintuitive for new players to understand, amongst other things. I wanna try ...

So I'm gonna whip up an addon with a reworked defence tree just to see how it plays out in practice. Quick notes on what I planned on trying out. Maybe it doesn't work out, I dunno. Shield wall - axe the defence, make the damage penalty 20% of ALL damage, not just physical. Let you block elements yo...

Could do! Might try shifting the % bonus from Furtive footwork over and changing that a bit, to ease up on having to put your sustains on in the right order.

It's worth noting that Lights out isn't 10% evasion, it's avoid ANY damage - you can totally dodge fireballs and/or meteors in the smoke.

Yeah, with spectral/eternal guard, blocking is great. Since it lasts a full two turns, you're getting a LOT more out of it. The problem is getting there. They're mobile, but only while consistently killing people, and have trouble sustaining that due to lack of solid stamina regen combined with fati...

Das cool, I'm still thinking lights out needs to be changed somehow. It just doesn't feel like it's worth a turn as is - You need levels in hide in plain sight to make the darkness a big advantage, and even then it's on a 40 turn cd. It's definitely worth doing in advance, as part of a slower overal...
