ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

When I fought Atamathon on my brawler, I got barbequed by the retaliation damage. Combination kick destroys the reflect damage sustain, axe kick reliably shuts off all his talents because he has no confusion resistance, exploit weakness can work on his resistances, and grappling is as good as always...

Unlimited. Cosmic. Power.

Don't enemy liches get the shadow tree instead though?

Bloodthirst is the least problematic tree berserkers have at the moment. Superiority, Warcries, and Field Control need revising the most. It really bugged me when Warshout and Relentless Fury got disabled by disarm. Execution never looked appealing because it's weaker(powers up slower) against stron...

Spellshock does not divide their resistances, it subtracts from them. The change in their resists is shown on their character sheet. Something with 100% all resist would have 80% all resist while spellshocked. I think all resist and elemental resist are a bit weird in how they add together, so you w...

It's more annoying now vile life exists and there's more incentive to go to spellblaze. there is an area before the Grand Corruptor which gives you a good warning about what is to come. I don't quite understand what you're saying here. And unknown tunnels does the opposite of prepare you for dark cr...

Maybe next time you could try finding some gloves of dispersion before fighting him. Discovering whether or not you can outlast fearscape the hard way is not fun.

I played a necromancer a while back and it seems like most of my problems with them are already covered in this thread(no place for generics, skills not ordered where useful, star fury is weird, damage types all over the place). A few thoughts: Make lich form reduce cooldown and mana costs of nightf...

If they are granted on-carry, they don't need to be that strong, because the only thing the option costs you is the encumbrance from having the digger in your inventory. Fell auras, spellblaze scars, antimagic bushes, and fonts of life are definitely good enough to make a real impact. Since more peo...

Terrain effects(fonts of life, fell auras, glimmerstones, etc) very rarely do anything, so I was thinking that some diggers could grant you the ability to create these effects. This also provides more thematic egos for diggers. The way I imagine this working is, a certain ego gives you +1 capacity t...

And it can turn a brittle clear ooze in an army of ghouls.

You need a torque of thermal shield to fight atamathon on a brawler. His retaliation is about 300 fire damage with his damage mods accounted for.

If you take off the cloak in town and immediately put it back on, anything that saw you will target you but not attack you, causing them to follow you. This can be useful for leading the residents of Derth into a hole you dug through the outer ring, so they don't get killed by the storm. Or for lead...

I just had this happen. A rigor mortis projectile was on my own square, and I used shattering shout but it didn't stop it.

The acid area of effect for sand worm tunnelers(wretchling acid is fine though). Some things also have weird glyph choices. The yeeks in the village are all "p" even though the yaechs in Murgol's and the wayist are "y". The blood master is "@" and I don't remember if th...

Add bleed damage to bone spear, bone grab, and bone nova. Bone grab can choose landing area at level 5(this has the side effect of making it useful for corrupters). Ruin: Diseases you inflict on wounded targets deal X% more damage and wounds you inflict on diseased targets increase the duration of a...
