Do tell.

Current description:

Oozemancers are Nature's last resort. They stand behind the frontline, throwing lobs of acid and lumps of slime at all Nature's foes.

Their most important stats are: Willpower and Cunning

Not a bug.

The game tells you that choosing anti-magic will make it so you won't be able to use spells anymore.

The activated and sustained talents on Shalore racial tree say that they're spells.

Yeah, this happens to me as well.

Orc was a playable race via a special quest reward.

I don't think it's available anymore.

Today I was instagibbed by 600+ damage from a firetrap that was triggered by my necromancer's summons multiple times while he was resting. I did not even understand what happened until I checked the game log. I've lost more than one necromancer this way. I really, really want the delayed explosion ...

Pretty sure this is fixed in the svn.

Make sure the energy value doesn't exceed 1.7976931348623157 x 10^308 or the universe will implode.

He doesn't heal. No life regen, no healing talents. If you have a way to teleport or otherwise escape, just throw some burst damage his way, escape and repeat. Having a way to remove both magical (hurricane) and physical (freeze) negative status effects is pretty important for this fight. With the c...

It almost sounds to me like because staves are fairly balanced with the play of alchemists and wizards as they are now, that the best way to implement this idea would be to create a new 'battlemage' class or something which specifically uses staves as a primary offensive and defensive weapon. Keep ...

Mod status: All non-artifact staves grant +1 Project Staff Project staff is the same as Channel Staff except it doesn't pass through non-hostiles, the weapon damage is 60%, and the damage is based on spell power, not physical power The "spell / staff combat" tree is replaced with a new &qu...

Dual wielding mindstars is a good idea for classes that use mindpower.

Archmage talents don't use mindpower so mindstars aren't really that useful.

Staves for archmages are generally just used for the stat increases, particularly +spellpower and +% damage.

Command staff will change what element the staff boosts your damage for. Use a lot of fire skills? Command staff > Mage > Fire. All your fire skills will now do more damage.

Do you know all the tier one (starter) dungeons? There are 3 sets of 2 "starter dungeons" that are available to all races and classes. Doing all those before moving on the the Old Forest, Maze, etc. gives you a good amount of gear and levels. Not sure if it still works like this, but I ten...

The archmage start quest is optional. If it is too hard, select a race with a different starting quest, or decline the quest. It's not really that bad if you don't do the quest. You have to use phase door to move around. The trick to surviving is dodging all projectiles since they move very slowly. ...

Should I make an SVN for the code I have done so far?

It's really not that much right now, it took me a while to figure out the staff resolvers stuff.

I'll probably try to work on the next steps today.

PM me for skype or other contact info.

What stuff do you have started and where is it? I might want to help out. Good feedback, thanks. My plan for suggestions that might sound overpowered is to greatly scale back damage, add cooldowns and increase resource cost. However, I tend to do balancing last. Seems like a good idea to get stuff ...
