ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

agreed on true grit, i've tested it since and liked it. Combined with PD rune it wouldbe very easy to reach even those increased res cap. I would consider subcutaneous if it passively gave flat DR equal to your con and there was no diminishing return on flat DR. Flex huh, how well does it work for ...

About True Grit: Increased cost is not as scary as it might seem. If you battle for 10 turns, it will only use 26.5 Stamina, 20 turns - 83 stamina. Increased resistance cap is much better than it might seem as well. If you have all resistances capped, you recieve 30% damage. If your cap is 57% close...

I would think the tankiest ranged classes were Archmage, Oozemancer, and Psyshot (and Sacrifice Necros, but I find Sacrifice too fussy a source of durability to suit me). I don’t think Solipsist’s durability is plausibly competitive with any of these. I’m happy to be proved wrong on this, but we ar...

Actually, it can crit, and it works differently than you think. Code here: if self:checkHit(saving_throw, value) then local dismissed = value * (1 - (1 / self:mindCrit(2))) -- Diminishing returns on high crits game:delayedLogMessage(self, nil, "Dismissal", "#TAN##Source# mentally dis...

I think there are some misconceptions about Solipsists and Solipsism in particular. 1. First of all, solipsism threshold. It sounds like it ideally should be low, but actually the higher it is, the better. Since it's substracted from 100%. So with 70% threshold you only lose speed when below 30% max...

I've managed to reach prides a few times with solipsist (madness) so definitely it is not a bad class but it has SERIOUS flaws. No mindstar mastery from escort ? You can start again No ablative armour ? Basically you should start again No stun immunity (mindstars, tinkers etc) ? Start again ... Wel...

I'm throwing in my two cents on Yeek Brawler, which I always try to recommend to people but nobody listens to. Your first 1-2 levels really, really extra sucks a lot because you don't start with enough CUN to get Unarmed Mastery, but after you do, it's smooth sailing. Umm, but isn't Unarmed Mastery...

The only thing I can suggest when it comes to CON is a Berserker, because of two reasons: 1. Unflinching Resolve and Relentless Fury scale with CON. Vitality can also get a good boost out of it, but it's generally not advised to invest a lot into it. If you want maximum CON milking, I guess pick a ...

I was thinking about making viable CON based character but found that there is simply no room for such characters in the game, because nearly nothing scales with CON outside of Conditioning tree and it has heavy diminshing return penalties making it unviable choise. Then I decided to look into just ...

Con is not remotely useful for pretty much anything, the only talents I can think of off the top of my head that even scale with Con are Technique/Conditioning, which has no attacks. If you want a Con class, your options are to use it as a secondary skill on a fighter class like Zerker or Bulwark, ...

Hello. I'm interested in building character around very high (150+) CON with 40+ CON Amulet of the moon included (for Subcutaneous Metallisation in particular). So I'm looking for classes with notable CON scaling skills. Any ideas/tips what classes/categories I should pay attention to? Secondary sta...

Okay, requirements for S class are clear, but what is the basis for other tiers? Any specific requirements for class to end up in certain tier? In particular, why Solipsist/Wyrmic/Gunslinger are rated so low? And why Arcane Blade/Archmage/Necromancer above Archer and Brawler? I was quite sure that A...

Looked through a post, but don't really want to read it, because important points are not highlighted and it's just a wall of text to me. So I might miss some points. But will still write a comment. First of all, if we are talking about Madness difficulty, Archmage is probably not as good as he is c...

My Solipsist has 20% all damage penetration from Crimson Robe. But I'm not sure how resistance penetration really works. Is it additive with my mind resistance penetration or multiplicative? If it's additive I guess I can swap one of my resistance penetration items with better one to get 80% mind re...

Damn, oh well, my bad I think I change too much the subject, back to the berserker, as you said Flexible Combat is a good one, free extra hits is as good as it sounds, and some gloves gives you good on hit effects. Swift hand is a underwhelming prodigy, but can give you a lot of value if you max de...
