ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

[quote="effigy"]To clarify, my complaint is that right now Beyond the Flesh is gimping your damage unless you already have stacked Wil/Cun and/or have invested in Resonant Focus. If it used the greater value of Str/Dex or 60+% Wil/Cun, then it would be a straight-up benefit instead of half-blessing, half-curse.

Currently, it's like giving the character an extra hand, but cutting off half his fingers and saying he can buy back the missing fingers at a later time. It just feels wrong.[/quite]

Was looking this up as I missed the tooltip and it felt weird and I think this is a good idea. Playing a punchy adventurer with Beyond the Flesh and it basically reduces Glove modifier from 40/40/40 to 24/64, so about a 40 percent drop of stats go to item. Workaroundable with 7-8 generic points, but that's a big early spend.

It'd be better if it used best of default and ability or just had it for the TK item.

The gain is you can not spread your points as a Mindslayer, which is huge.

This is one of the most powerful talents in the game. best to leave it as is. at high levels it can hit 4000+ per swing.
