There are also addons letting you float as many as you like.

Re: Weapon Based Wyrmic Semi-Guide

I never seriously played Wyrmic because it seemed so unfocussed. I might give this a try, thanks.

Re: Best combo for newbie

I second Bulwark. They are tough and easy to use, from the beginning through all the starting areas and tier one areas.
Cornac and Dwarf are good starting races for Bulwark.

Re: Rush vs. Path of the Sun

Why are apples so much better than oranges? A staple warrior talent with minimum distance which moves you to an opponent and applies a free attack with daze; versus a celestial spell talent which lays down an environmental effect which causes light damage and allows free movement in either direction...

Re: Can't see the bottom of the map

My chosen approach was to move the hotkey toolbar to the left, resource bars to the top, and tall, transparent things like log and chat to the bottom, so I have a roughly square visible area. While this technically means things on the left can still be hidden by the toolbar, this is less of a proble...

Re: Is 2H weapon Flurry ever worth 6 generics for Ogre Marau

I'm leery of numbers based on saving the exact right escorts and getting the exact right item drops that ignore other concerns e.g. effect resistances. Even if I did get such a lovely set of items in my playthrough (unlikely in my experience), it's basically an advertisement for having ridiculously ...

Re: Is 2H weapon Flurry ever worth 6 generics for Ogre Marau

Thanks, that's awesome help. :)

Since Marauder is balanced with 2 weapon fighting in mind, and the 2H weapon would give a lukewarm benefit even if it was free, 6 generic points would probably not be worth it.

Re: Is 2H weapon Flurry ever worth 6 generics for Ogre Marau

I want to say very well, but who knows? EDIT: The wiki, albeit slightly out of date, still provides useful information. dam = 0.3 * (phys_power + totstat) * power * talented_mod Power and talented_mod tend to be numbers that are around 1.000 to 2.000. Meanwhile, totstat is the stat modifiers of you...

Is 2H weapon Flurry ever worth 6 generics for Ogre Marauder?

When Ogre came out I had the same idea as everyone else: Flurry with a 2H weapon in your main hand! Some questions came up though: 1) 2H damage is no better than 1 handed weapon without +size items to reduce the damage penalty. But lets assume I can get +2 size and Legacy of the Naloren and invest i...

Re: Will There Ever Be Balance?

Some alternatives: [*] Only play the classes you like to play, forget about the other ones. [*] Play on lower difficulties with less powerful classes and higher difficulties with more powerful classes, and forget about which difficulties you used for other classes.

I only took feed lvl 2 and didn't use it for hate regain at all. General tactic was to start with darkness and then bump hit once to trigger gestures, feed to trigger increased damage there , ... Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you activate feed you activate feed. Even if you do it "for" ...

Re: How to get the character to 20th level

It's easier with Cornac due to other races' XP penalty. You do it by clearing everything except higher level things like Mark of the Spellblaze, Ancient Elven Ruins and Last Hope Graveyard before you take on The Master. Dreadfell can be good XP on its own. You might have to open vaults to get that h...

Re: Analytic Character Building...

You do what is enjoyble for you of course, but I personally wouldn't use that approach. If you haven't thought about why these skills are chosen, how will you know when/how you should use them, or whether they are a good use of points in practice? e.g. you have invested 8 points in Sun Ray/Sun's Ven...

Re: How to get the character to 20th level

Speaking of alternate zones, beware the alternate Maze' boss who is much more dangerous than the normal boss. You don't need to do the Last Hope graveyard at all if you don't want to. If you feel even slightly in danger there you should probably leave it until later and save your lives for unexpecte...
