ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Thanks for the feedback.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2744682371 Someone in game chat asked me to update the guide I made a long time ago for Necromancer. This is more of a complete rewrite. One thing I'd like to be very clear about where I'm still fuzzy - what stats do minions automatically inheri...

Might be cool to have an option to equip a team, though it'd be a real hassle as well.

Only the "permanent" minions have equipment you can change (or take) - golem, worm-that-teleports, and mecharachnid.

I've played all the classes to a win on normal and nightmare, and my #1 pick for a class that needs some love is alchemist. Bombs are fun, but they're really the class's only schtick. Cast on spell hit stacking would be amazing with Body of Fire except that it has a frustratingly limited range, and ...

This is a great guide - https://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=50716 It's for Insane, but you can do it on lower difficulties just fine. Note that traps are currently (as of 1.7.2) bugged and you can't prime anything, which isn't a major loss as the traps are sadly not that good to begin wi...

I've added some sections on the "why" for the skill choices that talk about some basic tactics (e.g. attack rotation) and objectives. Generally speaking this is a very defensive build that can tank its way through most of the content and mostly just hits stuff, which is why I picked it for...

The guide is long enough that detailed tactics for individual bosses are going to make it impossibly long - a companion guide, maybe, but it's very hard to teach that stuff through text. I could definitely talk more about various fights, but the reality is that detailed strategies are going to depen...

Still ToME, so it's not like that wasn't going to happen anyway.

Any specific thoughts on ways I can lead less to their doom?

There's a specific talent in one of the trees, forget which one, that allows your minions to heal. Do you have that?

Probably a lot of bad advice, but it's for normal/adventure so there's some room for error. I mean, I'm not even saying to take Flexible Combat.

Thoughts and feedback welcome.

Just glancing at the character sheet, looks like a Sun Paladin wearing robes.

Because of the way damage calculations are done, heavy armor is way better than it appears.

Updated again after finally getting They Came.

So I've seen this happen with DoctorNull's class pack (but only when I enabled the new classes on enemies) and now I'm seeing it on another run with addon classes (specifically the bloodruned dwarf from the Inferno Race Pack as a Chrono Ranger from the Hybrid Class Pack). It's happened twice now on ...

Possible class evo for Annihilator that replaces the Mecharachnid with a Gunsnake, or adds the Gunsnake to the Mecharachnid and makes it even more of a pet class?

Also possible to just have the gunsnake be a cosmetic(ish) option the way the dragon golem works for Alchemist.

The other parts of the prodigy (water breathing and spit poison) are pretty useless.

Would it be possible to have exotic weapon proficiency, and just that proficiency, retain the old scaling? That might make that 16 effective skill more valuable.

Still better than Secrets of Telos, though.
