ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Bit of both really. Auto-explore on nightmare and above is very dangerous, especially for a class like archmage that relies on active defences (having to activate shields) rather then passive (e.g. high armour and defensive passives). Buying more hp items is never a bad idea however, especially earl...

I've started a Nightmare run as a summoner, and your guide is extremely helpful, thanks! One question I've come up with though, is Magic of the Eternals, which you maxed out early. Which of your skills actually crit, to gain the benefit of this skill? From what I can tell from the character sheets ...

Not entirely sure what you're trying to say, but opening the room of death before or after getting the Athame has no bearing on the quest (unless you lose all your lives in there of course).

Kill the tentacles, it's like the mouth in that you can't damage it directly.

If you're not going to kill the boss during unstoppable, then you use the last turn to pop a movement/phase door/teleport/etc and get the hell out of there. Then you heal up and try again and/or dodge the boss.

The tree is actually really powerful if used properly, you have to be aware of the friendly fire but it does a ton of damage with some decent crowd control.

Fire drake is probably the best, huge AOE as well as extra baby drakes when used with grand arrival. Other then that, most of them have their niche, and I don't think any of them are really bad to max if you like using them.

Initial problem I see - Aura mastery being stuck at the end of a tree. Maybe I missed something, but you'll still want the bigger aura as caster for the extra souls and all the other effects you've tacked onto the aura, but they'll be forced to get the entire minions tree. Not to mention waiting unt...

Heave isn't terrible for archers, but yeah, outside of track that whole tree is kinda underwhelming.

Because then when he updates it he'd have to remember to do it in two different places.

You've accidentally activated passive mode - click the shield icon underneath your character portrait up the top to turn it back to normal.

The invisibility is on demand, rather then on kill (you get charges on kill which you can then trigger to go invisible), so it's less situational. The other two skills do seem pretty garbage though. I do agree the whole focus on 'on-kill' skill triggers on the new classes is at odds with the game in...

Ummm, you can't. The Way won't let you through the tunnel until you've done both dungeons.

He's not saying he's having trouble finding sun paladins, just ones that aren't playing fairies or turtles or whatever else race from a mod.

The counterstrike debuff is applied to an enemy when their attack is fully absorbed by the active 'block' ability. This happens for all classes who use a shield, not just balwarks. The skill in shield offence makes counterstrike stronger, and applies it when any damage is blocked. So basically, ther...
