Notice how we've been talking about much it utterly sucks when an OPPONENT casts Aether Breach somewhere, and you have no f'in clue where. It's a nice to have effect for your own Aether Breach, but it's incredibly useful for when some boss casts it and you want to know if you need to run away. Vali...

The visuals here look really cool! However, magic in this game is a powerful and damaging thing indeed. It's also meant to be potentially damaging to the caster, if you use it recklessly. And there is a skill designed to lessen, and eventually neglect, these effects on the caster if you invest in it...

However, you can't enter the dungeon before completing the yeek starting quest first..

Frumple: if you right-click an icon of a skill you'll see an option 'unbind'. This will remove the skill shortcut from the skillbar, but you can still use/rebind the skill via the skill menu (default 'm')

SageAcrin: EPIC post! You really nailed the archmage. I have only one little trick to add for now: if you're running with Distruption Shield, screw up and it blows up on your face, cast time prison on yourself. This will remove your char from the board while all the enemies around take full damage f...

This is a very nice feature indeed for us impatient ones who downloaded the unlock profile file from the forums when we started playing, and now wish for a second chance to do everything ourselves. Thanks! A note for everybody trying this: if your currently loaded character is temporarily disconnect...

I also wouldn't mind having the *Masteries updated, the current system seems a little bit counter-intuitive for me. My own suggestion derives from the way the game handles melee attack skills that use some kind of accuracy check. As I understand it, there are two kinds of skills in that matter: 1) s...

Could someone please enlighten me...?

Sustains can be dispelled by some enemies. And there are things in the dark that even feed on them..

While I cannot directly advise you on this (don't know squat about the cursed), I'd suggest you include some information about your character (a link to the vault would be best, probably). Its really hard to give advice without knowing what skills and items you have.

Whoo, cool mutant barb! And +75 physpow + the ability to use You-shall-be-my-weapon without gear dependencies is nothing to sneeze at in my books.

Things still to do: Steamroller to work with charge! Now that the forementioned prodigy is fixed in SVN, these three skills will make an awesome combo.

Oops. I must have had a major memory fail when I wrote that; re-checked the staff and it is certainly one of the best necro staffs there is. Would you accept my sincerest apologies for that stupid comment?

There's a staff of the Archlich.

And unlike the mentioned Ring of the Dead, this one actually does suck..

The Heart of Celia is also a guarantied necro artifact. I cannot comment on it's usefulness as I never actually bothered to get it.

Bear in mind that any increase in the power of runes will cause players to suffer first, as armored skeleton warriors pack those in abundance. This! Basically, the suggestions in this thread are all about making the game harder. Which I'm not so sure is a good idea, there are already nightmare and ...
