Here's Something Cool About Shadow Warrior Ranged Weapon Build


Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm currently building a SW ranged weapons specialist, and I've noticed something kind of cool.

 

I like to use energizers and pretend like they're mage staves that fire magic missiles. (I miss my Battle Mages from Sacred 1, so I use the SW and make him as much like a BM as possible.)

 

Anyway, as most of you probably already know, when you use a ranged weapon with the Scything Sweep combat art, it fires three projectiles in a ternion pattern.

 

What struck me as cool about this, is that doing it this way almost feels like playing Titan Quest with my old Ternion Attack toon (Spirit Mastery), for those of you who have played both games.

 

The Shadow Warrior even kind of looks like the male TQ toon.

 

I just thought it was kind of a cool connection.

 

Scything Sweep as Ternion Attack rocks! I've learned to spray it at just the correct distance and angle to where I can one-shot kill three enemies at a time on a regular basis. It makes me laugh out loud every time I hear three death sound effects going off in unison! It's especially fun to hear three skeletons exploding!

 

There's still a lot to discover and try in Sacred 2!

I mod mine for double, double, Life Leech. And when you get some levels into your build fire up your Energy staff this thing pops off like an Uzi. Regen per Hit and Death Blow both work with this too.

Thanks for the info, I've been building a veiled energy weapons SW and just tried FR and really like this. How do you have FR modded? Does double hit work with energy weapons?

 

Sorry I haven't answered sooner. School just started back, and I have a lot less time to check the forums.

 

Double hit works - you'll know by watching and listening to the rhythm of your energy blasts - it'll be like choo, choo, choo, then suddenly CHOO-CHOO really fast, then choo, choo, choo, choo, CHOO-CHOO.

 

I use Force, Intent, and Hurl for mods. If one of them gets "hurled", I like to pretend I'm using a telekinetic body slam.

 

I haven't got the character built up to very high level so far - that darn real life making me hold down a job has taken away most of my play time!

 

I'll probably be building this character and a couple of others (I have a hammer-wielding Thor-based SW and a sword ("light saber")-wielding Jedi-based SW) gradually on weekends and holidays between now and Christmas.
