  1. Thanks for all the help with the question and more. And I've heard avoid this and avoid that but...I don't like missing out on something just cause of some mechanic that hinders a character. That and I actually play through the campaign. Though that's getting some what boring and I may go into gold just doing free world or something.
  2. Oh ok. I guess the times I was using the Blowgun and it missed the target were just cause I didn't have enough atk. Cause I did have a time where the blowpipe didn't strike the target once as he crossed by in front of me. And so far the Dryad isn't bad. I'm a bit cautious to pick up the second buff Bark cause of the stupid Fire weakness to it. I've countered not having that buff by taking 5 points in Combat Reflexes and am aiming for Armor Lore and just using the heal which is really nice to have. But right now she's like....16 I think (Side quests are nice...but annoying to find again once you finish sometimes.) and she is sporting EP, CR, Barg, Ranged, Tactics
  3. Ok so I've somewhat settled on a dryad once more cause it's just too annoying in this game to go chasing after the ranged base mobs when fighting. (Being on Console I don't have access to the staff trick, and I don't like using exploits so not using VD) But I gotta ask, why use a blowpipe really? Is it any better than say a bow (My preference anyway is a bow.)?
  4. I have to agree here. The thing is that it is easy to fix bugs and glitches on a computer game than it is on console. The Console's program for the game is contained all on that disk, there isn't really a transfer over. While on a PC the files on the disk are transfered and it runs off those more than the CD.
  5. I've heard of the bug with that armor which was why I probably would stay away from the full set....though I'd get it either way to get the full set achievement and then remove it before playing.
  6. The "big deal" about the Blacksmith skill is that, in the PC version, it lets you socket rings into bronze slots and necklaces into silver slots. This is huge, and I can't emphasize that enough. Unfortunately, as you're a console player, that doesn't help you, but I wanted to make sure this was clear. It's cool. On console that function is given to players no matter what general skill they pick so it's not a big deal to a lot of them.
  7. The placement of your console and it heating up is usually a key to this kind of stuff. If you have it in a closed area it might not be getting enough O2 so it's hardware is over heating. This is a problem with consoles that has become more and more previlant as they become more advanced. Some of the companies aren't taking internal temperatures into account when they make them and they end up over heating. Sony Playstation is notorious for it at this point as many have had the problem with every thing from the original PS to the PS3. Xbox had a similar issues but it can be rectified by keeping the power box and console off fabric surfaces. And if you think that is laggy, try the Dryad exploit with VD and wait for lots of stuff to die at once. I had the console freeze for a second as he tried to register the amount of experience coming in.
  8. Lots of good feed back which I love to see on forums. And I do have one character that has either EP or Barg. My 45 seraphim has EP not that high though but it does go above character level with gear and relics. And then there is my level 20 or so Inquisitor who picked up bargaining from day one of him. With the Inquisitor I don't really sacrifice much to pick it up. Got my damage skills, He mostly uses Callous Execution and the GI skills. The most I can see that I gave up on for it for him was a CA lore but I don't really use the other skills outside of defense or utility. The thing is my seraphim seems like she is giving up a rather large piece of her to pick up EP because right now she can only pick up two more skills and I'd like to get Warding Energy Lore for my shield and maybe the lore for rev tech, again for the shield cause I picked up block at the end. My other issue outside of it taking up a skill is the fact that items don't seem to scale in my favor. I've got tons of 3 star items and sets...all ranging from the 40-60 level range...which makes me feel like it was wasted. Same with Inquis with Bargaining. As he levels so does the gear that he buys and again, low level toons won't be able to use them. past that not much of an issue. As a side note though, everyone says that you can't use BS on console which I don't intend to test. But I don't see a point in getting it anyway as I can already socket rings and amulets into gear at the black smith. Just gotta match them to their corresponding colors. Bronze slot only takes BS enhances and Runes, Silver takes the same a bronze plus rings, and gold takes same as silver plus amulets.
  9. Alright so I've got a few toons, one of them is my seraphim who sits nicely at like level 45 or so and she does well. Well as I look to other characters I like to think how I can build them, and how I could build them so that someone who just got the game can pick them up with little hassle and play through before they decide if they wanna dive into the game fully. The thing is I'm wondering the importance of Bargaining and Enhanced Perception and all the other general skills in the game. With a lot of build I contemplate they leave very little if not any room for these skills as the spots are filled up with skills like the defensive ones, and the attack skills. Even some take up more than one tree so CA skills fill the spaces. How much of a drop in game play would it be to not pick up any of the General Skills at all? Like as far as speed and ease goes. Anyone's opinions are welcome, just back them up with your thoughts please.
  10. Well...arcane probably wont work out best on its own, you could read through this build though (Schots Bolting Terror) and maybe get some ideas, its a great read at least. I know its pre Ice&Blood, but with a little tweaking I think it could work some wonders...although using shadow step may be a bit harder now. If only I could play Ice and Blood. I'm on the console so if it's pre ice and blood not an issue. My gaming comp is in a state of limbo right now because of some start up issues. (Not sure what it is. I would say video card but that's integrated so only thing I can think of is that the hard drive is going out on it...but even then I'm unsure.) Will read the thread though, might get an idea but playing anything where you gotta pick the target area to activate it is rather rough on console (Hold button and move cursor to pick target and hope the mobs don't kill you while you are doing this.)
  11. Well shoot what is the point in getting the cooler weapons that have nice little stats to them if some dinky level 2 weapon will oust it in damage?
  12. Don't worry GoGo you aren't missing much with the VD one. The worst part about it is that it's really boring and you can't get the same loot if you just went around collecting the stuff yourself.
  13. Looks like his Enhanced Perception was low. Maybe he should trying raising his Bargaining to try and persuade the blowpipe off ya.
  14. Thanks. I always envy the casters of the games I play cause they typically look the coolest both in their abilities and their gear. (Again, if I go back to wow it might be my mage though she has a lot working on to do. First would be getting 1k gold to get dual spec) But I always have that issue with casters that I can't seem to get them to push the numbers or have the survival I want. With Sacred it's a bit of both. I've tried fire and it had the power, just not the survival. I tried ice, and it had the survival but now power. I thought about playing Arcane but it doesn't look like it was ever meant to stand on it's own like fire or frost. (Sorry if I'm using wrong terminology for the game. I'm still stuck in the WoW language.)
  15. @chattius: Good to know. I've thought about making a class that utilizes pole arm weapons at some point but never really thought to use an Inquisitor. Shadow Warrior comes to mind but...well....the Shadow Warrior seems like a tank class...and after WoW I hate playing anything coming close to a tank. @essjayehm: Thanks for the advice man. I like the raw power provided by the Inquisitor but my friend who plays plays mostly Light on his seraphim and I'm at a bit of a loss on what character to play. I like the power the Inquisitor has, and all. But the melee aspect is getting kind of eh. Problem is, the Spell casting aspect of the game is really rough at the start. And I thought playing a caster at the start of WoW was rough. Which was why I kind of wanted to build a hybrid caster melee.
