Do Mindslayer spells (mindlash, auras, etc...) crit off of spellcrit or something else? I mean, there's not a mind crit now, right?

[phantomglider]

There is, in fact, mind crit! On your character sheet, offense tab, second column, below the spell info should be mindpower and mind crit.

But there didn't used to be so yes, Mindslayer mental effects crit off spellcrit. I'll look into fixing it.

So, what spell caused me to die? Why isn't the damage listed here?

The last damage code listed was '0 temporal damage' and your death message reflects death by a temporal effect, so that's almost certainly what killed you. Most likely it displayed the damage incorrectly as it overloaded your shield.

Another possibility is that one of your own abilities killed you on the same round, and the death message incorrectly attributed it to the hostile attack?

Hard to say. I'm not familiar enough with Corruptors to know all the colorful ways of dying they have at their command.

4. How does "Repulse" supposed to work ? It...well, doesnt do anything.

Repulsion knocks back all enemies adjacent to you and keeps them from doing anything for a short time as long as you don't bother them. There has to be at least one enemy adjacent to you, it has to not be immune to knockback, and you have to pass a physical power check vs. the enemy's physical save.

I was going to bring this up - on my latest Bulwark character, Repulse does absolutely nothing other than consuming stamina and going on cooldown. I've tried it in a number of different situations to no effect whatsoever. I think the skill may be bugged.

I don't think that killing-blow damage is ever displayed.

Noob to Tome4 - but have played TOME3, etc.

It seems rod of return does not work as in previous versions... I was in forest, 3rd level, and hit rod of return - returned to surface. Went to town to sell. Hit rod of return again - "returned" me to the surface, not to the 3rd level of the forest. Hmm... what did I do wrong??

thanks in advance.

Tome4 Noob...

It only takes you back to over world, never into dungeon. Later in the game another option is given for where it takes you...

Next noob question - not sure if this is a bug or I'm doing something wrong...

I have an Alchemist, level 10. I saved and now when I return, I am in the"world" map but my Golem is there, and I am in control of the golem, NOT my alchemist. I can not find any way to return control to the Alchemist, nor any way to kill off the Golem - I cant get ambushed, cant zone into anywhere, etc.

Bug or intent?
Ways around/to fix?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Specs - the game says TEngine4 version 0.9.38
and note that it has locked up twice when trying to exit the game's main screen to my desktop.

[PureQuestion]

terrible bug.

[CaptEHCJ]

So is my toon lost? Should I avoid playing a class that has a pet until that bug is fixed?

thanks!

Another dumb question - how do you Search (such as for hidden/secret doors)? I see no keybinding but I regularly see (via vision) rooms that i cannot get to, that seem to have secret doors I cant locate...

is there a list of commands somehwere other than keybindings?

thanks!

[lukep]

There is no search function. The hidden passages are mostly diggable walls in the midst of hardwalls. One vault has scripted triggers that removes some walls when you bump into them.

Is it possible to resize the "play screen" (not sure what to call it but not the window)? When I try to use Minimalist the "play screen" is full screen and behind all of my buttons,stats,maps,etc. Often my character is out of view, covered my these items.
