Thank you for all the info guys. I've been away from Sacred2 for awhile but expect that to change in the coming months. It still helps

Thanks for all the info, I'll post some progress, and how things are working out when I gain levels/skills.

Thank you for the info for both of you! Alchemy does sound useful, but I have yet to meet my first real boss. I've met the gambling den owner who was managable, thus I didn't use potions that much yet. Smithing also sounds useful as I plan to socket those damage reduction amulets. For now I'll have to go with a weapon proficiency first. Some more questions: Sooner or later I'll have to read some more runes into Callous execution, and Ruthless mutiliation I guess. So should I use one of the remaining skill slots for GI focus, or will concentration and somepoints in Stamina keep regen times at a sensible rate? As for my tankiness with Toughness already chosen, and planing on socketing damage reduction jewelry do you think I should take armor proficiency as well, or should I just put points into vitality? I'm planing on having a high damage reduction/mitigation so Purifying chastisement seems more and more likely as a choice for my active buff besides Soul reaver. Still not sure about how the damage threshold works. Does it mean that I have to take 25% of my total HP to get to the maximum damage bonus and I get damage bonus gradually if I take less damage? Or should I get to 25% of my total HP to get the max damage? Does the bonus disappear if I drink a health potion? Does it stack with +XX% damage of enraged player? I'm happy with my damage so far, do you recommend Combat discipline or Damage lore in case I need to raise my damage? bear

Hi Guys, I just started playing sacred 2, had played sacred 1 with a vampiress till level 70ish. Did not play online, and not planning on it yet. I would have a few questions in general and some related to my inquisitor (lvl25). General questions: 1) It seems that in sacred 2 I'm not able to make uber combos as the level of the CA which I use for the combo is not set. Is there still sense in socketing CAs into gear for the lower regen times or is aspect focus and concetration enough for that? 2) I have the funny feeling that ranged mobs do more damage on me compared to melee mobs (they all do physical damage yet, so not related to poision - or any other - resistance). Or is it because I can deal with melee mobs quicker? 3) I've noticed that I can only socket rings, CAs, and enchancment in armor. Is there a socket type that lets me socket amulets? I found some nice physical damage reduction amulets, but can weare only 1. 4) Also does the enchancment of the blacksmith scale with character level? I just wanted the put the defence enchancment on some gloves and instead of the indicated +1% it gave +24.8%. How does that work? It was a green item, in case it has anything to do with it. 5) I failed one of the quests where I'm supposed to escort this guy to the next town, as he did not prove as undead resistant as myself. I went to the quest marker anyway to deliver news on the mishap. Now everytime I load game his fiancee appears. Even though she is even less undead resistant. Can I make her dissappear somehow? 6) I found gear that decreases enemy defence and/or attack in some rate. I suppose I'll have to look for some other enchancment on jewelry and armor, just not sure what. Are these enchancments any good at higher levels? 7) I'm getting full on light potions usually, and only sold most of the health potions so far. I presume these will be useless on higher difficulty. Is that so? 8) I also came across a lot of equipment that is purple (or blue) that has no effect listed. Will I be able to see these effects with Alchemy? Is it worth adding as a skill? Did not use that many potions apart from when being attacked by lots of ranged mobs or champions so far. My inquisitor: I was picturing my inquisitor somewhat like Dolph Lundgrens character in Johnny Mnemonic so more of a tanky brute than a caster. My skills at level 25 are: Toughness: 9 Tactics lore: 20 AS lore: 5 AS docus: 15 Concentration: 8 Trading: 5 I've put all my points in strength so far, as I was not happy with my to hit ratio. I started out on silver and apart from the very beginning was overall happy with "Dolph"s performance so far. I mainly use Ruthless mutiliation and Clustering malestorm with Soul reaver and Purifying chastisment active. I usually gather mobs around me to black hole their buttocks, and only have to deal with the champions after that, which is easier with some souls captured. I use a halberd, and haven't made up my mind yet what weapon lore to choose. Just found some decent 1 handed weapons a sword and a mace. Didn't make my decision easier . So my questions for my inqusitor are: a) What weapon lore to choose. I presume there's not one weapon type that is uber good for the inquisitor, is there? Polearms would fit "Dolph" well and from what I've read there are less types of polearms benefiting from dexterity than strength. b) Is strength a good choice to put points into. I'm hoping with 25 points I didn't screw this "build" up yet. What else should I consider? c) What CAs should I read? As I usually gather mobs to use Clustering malestorm I don't spam this CA that much. Dislodged spirit from the NN aspect would be the other CA to use which I guess I need to use on bosses, and some tough champions. Again not something I will be spamming. Because of this I didn't get NN focus/lore yet. I'm not that comfortable with Pruifying chastisement yet, as I'm not sure how it really works but didn't really spoil the regen of my RM yet. If I would read runes into CA I probably would need to pick GI focus, right? For now I'm happy with the regen of CM and RM, but if I'm suggested to use Reverse polarity I presume I should read runes into it. Would that screw up the regen of my CM if I keep AS focus at 2/3 of character level? Or should I go for Soul Reaver and take NN focus to keep the regen time of dislodged spirit at a sensible rate? A bit confused how to carry on with the CAs. d) Any suggestions on how to deal with the ranged mobs pew-pewing my pale robed ass from afar? I use Inexorable subjugation currently but as I lack NN focus/lore the regen time and damage are pretty bad. I can kill a normal mob with 4-5 tics, and it is quite useless against champions. Thanks in advance, bear
