Re: Victory is mine! First Time Normal/Adventurer Alchemist

So my Shadowblade went rather further than I thought she would. Besides Marauder taking me ages to do (I eventually realized I could just drop a few points in Shadow Grasp, crit with it, and then take them out), I initially intended to abandon it with the Stone Warden and Marauder unlocks, then I ca...

Re: Victory is mine! First Time Normal/Adventurer Alchemist

So, I just beat Embers of Rage. I won't go into the details of that, but I had a good time on a Sawbutcher. Learned a few things about tinkering, and how useful Chants can be as a pickup tree for clearing statuses. Made some progress on an Annhilator, enough to unlock Tinkers in AoA. Now that I have...

Re: Victory is mine! First Time Normal/Adventurer Alchemist

I had figured out how to 'cheat' the stats on every thing, yes. The only limitation seems to be is that when changing gear, the game assumes you take off your current gear, and then put on the new stuff, so you can't rely on bonus stats on the equipment your swapping out. And I'd be really surprised...

Victory is mine! First Time Normal/Adventurer Alchemist

So, I just beat the game on my first character (technically second, but the other was a 1.4 Stonewarden I played for an hour before not playing the game for another 4 years). Thought I'd sum up my journey and thoughts on the game in general. I ended up going Alchemist. While I was initially leaning ...

Re: Class Summaries?

What class has a lot of good utility and/or abilities that disrupt the enemy? Playing through the first time as an Alchemist, I just throw bombs. I pretty much never have a tool like "Spell casters, use this" or "Heavily buffed, use that." Bonus points if it's a melee class, beca...

Unlocking Poison as a Rogue

I've yet to get a definitive answer on this one. Do you get access to the Poison tree if you first side with the Assassin Lord as a class that can use it? Or would I need to start another character? I want poisons if I'm going to play a Rogue class (or even an Archer), but if it needs to be unlocked...

Re: Class Summaries?

Yah, just went over Time Warden on the wiki. I was already leaning in favor of them, just because of the unlock, but looking at them... holy crap I want all their skills. Never seen a class I wanted to play Cornac on so much for extra build points (That may or may not be a good idea, but I think you...

Re: Class Summaries?

I've got a host of things unlocked already. Off the top of my head (I'm at work), I've got Yeeks, Ogres, and am very close to killing the Master (He killed me once, but that was more due to being unprepared and incautious, and I've gained 3 levels since then) for an Undead race. Classes I have unloc...

Re: Updated Alchemist Guide: the beginner friendly class

Trying to decide on a Prodigy for myself. I'm playing what I suspect is an atypical Shalore Alchemist. This is my first game (Normal / Adventurer), and while I went in with some information, there's a lot of winging it going on. Build uses Heavy Armor and lots of points into Constitution, with 2 Esc...

Class Summaries?

Just started the game, and I'm level 24 in Dreadfell Tower as an Alchemist (Covered in heavy armor, made out of ice, and on fire). Being halfway to the level cap (and two of my Adventure lives down), I'm wanting to look at other classes for a second playthrough. Or perhaps another playthrough to mix...
