ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Frickin', frackin', smeggin' FINALLY!

Level 16 rogue
Off-hand weapon was a dwarven steel dagger of massacre with a damage rating (according to the character sheet) of 98, crit multiplier of 208% and a physical damage modifier of 6%. I got a lucky crit (Luck of the Little Folk helped) against and Storm Drake and did 606 damage. I'm off to have some murderous fun with the new guy!

Congratulations! Although you have just reminded me I still need to do this...

Yeah,

Marauder is very funny class to play. The effort of unlocking it, is worth it.

Keep to Steel Helm of Garkul and Garkul teeth amulet if u playing marauder. They are fun

Man, this one is hard to do...

Okay. I've been working at this for several nights now. I apparently am missing something very important.

This is my Lv25 rogue. Judging from the fact that people can get to 600+ damage on Lv16, he should be able to do this easily. I've maxed Venomous Strike and tried to use an infusion to get a third poison on something, but that doesn't seem to work. I've previously reached sweet 300-400 damage with two poisons, but that was as far as I was able to get.

I'd appreciate some help with this one, it's just frustrating.

I have maxed shadowstrike+whirlwind combo (they are cumulative) with appropriate stat, but size matter was not easy, did it around lvl 27 IIRC

Do you recommend to use two daggers for this unlock, or sling and dagger?

I thought whirlwind requires two daggers, but perhaps I'm mistaken.

Also, a general question. How does shadowstrike work with other talents? Does a regular attack become shadowstrike when stealthed, or can it combine with flurry, etc?

I used Whirlwind on the 606 damage attack and had every kind of passive damage talent that I could afford. No shadows, no poison, just good old fashioned damage and a somewhat lucky roll.

Flurry doesn't count as a single strike for unlock. For shadowstrike flurry remove stealth after first hit, not sure aboutdual strike, but I think it's too.

I was eventually able to do it on Lv30, just by maxing shadowstrike and whirlwind and putting a ton of points into dex/str. I still have no idea how I even survived the Master. Oh well.

A maxed venomous strike that crit did it (with 2 poisons) at lv24 with silent blade.

Edit: No Shadowstrike either.

I did the same recently. No shadowstrike either.

Finally! I got up this morning and decided this was how I was going to spend my Saturday. Unlocking marauder--the one unlock I was missing. Finally got it on level 34 or so, right after going east. Took maxed whirlwind, shadow strike, and lethality.

Hats off to whoever managed it on lvl 16--based on my last 7 or 8 hours, that just sounds impossible.

I managed to get a setup that did it fairly reliably, at L16.

Granted, it is a little silly. *coughs* Venomous Strike Shadowstrike with two poisons, so it's actually possible to do with lower levels than 16 using that setup, and even possible to optimize damage more for that level... but as you can see, it isn't very survivable(note the four deaths!). I took some compromises for actually living more easily, and still got it at L16.

Incidentally, if you're having problems getting an enemy poisoned three different ways, remember that Insidious Poison infusions and poison traps count for Venomous Strike!
