I'm not on console .... I'm on PC. I dumped my console version soon after buying it cuz it was done half assed. But, live and learn, I don't and will not, buy Deep Silver games again. Thanx for the replies.

So, again, its only useful to max level characters or characters that can take Blacksmithing. Its a worthless skill now. So totally worthless considering only a few characters can even get it... Bargaining is another one thats useless except in the same circumstances as Blacksmithing now. You can't go down to silver with a level 200 shopper and shop for your silver characters cuz everything you find is level 200+. So, with that, each character has to have bargaining *if you can even get it* or you have to wait till you are level 200 and have your shopper character give you stuff. Whats the point at level 200? ROFL. You've already beaten the game... Makes absolutely no sense at all.

Game keeps getting worse and worse with all the 'fixes'. I understand some like the challenge but it completely nullifies hours and hours of hard work and farming for me.

I have a TG Utility build, level 200. He's my BS, Bargaining etc. I noticed now that I'm using Ice and Blood, patch, 2.65.1 (I believe) that when I BS ammy, rings or anything like that into a piece of armor, it raises the level of the armor or weapon, for that matter, to at least the level of the item I'm putting in. For instance, if I have a 65 set piece I'm putting in an amulet that is level 200, it raises the set piece up to at least 200, without raising its stats or anything. Is this a bug? I used to be able to BS higher level amulets and rings into lower level gear and it didn't change the level. Working as intended? Does this mean those few that can get BS can only use it for themselves and for others its level?

Give you a good heads up on somethings. I'm level 57 on the PS3. I have a 10k armor. Yes, 10k. It's actually possible to have a 50k+ armor at 50, you just have to put the time into farming up some runes or use runes for trading in + gold. I'm on gold dif atm. I can sit there and never get hit by mobs, and the ones that actually do manage to get through my armor, die with reflection. I use the 3 time pieces + stuff with at least 2 silver slots (blacksmithing not working on console) and if it actually has 3 sockets, I use the def on the bronze socket. I use 1 combo to kill everything, all around me. Ravaged Impact + Darting Assault, which WILL kill in a complete circle around you. I press and hold the button and 4 groups of 5+ mobs each die in a matter of seconds. Only 2 Combat Arts kill faster and that would be a High Elf's BT and the Seraphims FN. Couple that with Deathblow, damage X-X, +all skills, +all Combat Arts and you can't beat it. I hate to say it, but this build isn't even the laziest you can do and most assuredly not the best dryad. Check out Put's build and Chrona's inside that post. I did a combo of those two and dropped a skill (constitution, which is useless on console with no HC) and added Cabal Focus. Use the blowgun to run around with, bow for buggy mobs or even a sword/hafted/2 hander. I'm getting ready to redo my sockets and armor now that I've gotten to Sloeford (went and did all the quests from the starting point up through the long canyon leading towards the temple at the top, killing the Griffon on the way). I'm sure that now I'm finding better +all skills, +CA, +aspect, +deathblow, etc my armor is going to shoot through the roof. Currently I hit for 1.5-4k naturally and once I hit the deathblow threshhold, I top 6k-9k hits, and thats not even with a critical With a DB at 70%, MF at 50%+, not only do I kill super fast, but since I'm pulling such big groups of mobs, I get tons of unique/legendary drops. Remember, most legendary drops have the wrong amount of stars on them. I play the PC version as well, and noticed that some of the orange are labeled with only 3 stars in the ps3 version. If you are interested in my particular build, I'll make a new post and pop it up there, otherwise, I'd re-iterate reading Put's and Chrona's builds. After all, the games been out so long, you won't be able to come up with a 'new' build. Builds have been pretty much found.

I'm thinking that since my friends are on PS3 and I have the game on there too, I'm going to ditch constitution for cabal focus. There's no HC or closed net on ps3 so really, while con will give my hps and in combat regen, dryad is so damn buff defensively, I'd like a distraction that can take some hits while I just kill everything around

Does Cabalistic Voodoo Lore or Focus enhance your third buff, the one with the pet. ie, which one affects the pets damage, etc?

Answered my own question

While working on this build, I have gathered many rings/amulets with deathblow on them. All told I have 161.1%, not even finished socketing the rest. However, on my Bonus Overview, it says: Opponent level for death blow 69.6%. How do I go from 161.1% total socketed/worn rings/amulets down to 69.6% Can anyone explain this or is it just specific to this build and would actually give me the whole % I am wearing if I played another class or even a different build for seraphim?

Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Some differences in the PS3 version vs the PC, but builds work on either just fine. I've kinda gotten addicted to shopping, got a 38 seraphim (borken), 38 TG (Shopper build) redoing my seraphim and my Dryad, thats level 23 now. Almost got her bargaining to 75 with only 23 hardpoints into it. Its like you find the +1 all skills, buy some of those, put em on, find some more, put those on, then start finding +2's, replace and add more, shop more, find more +2's, then start finding +3's, etc I've gone through about 12m gold so far, shopping. Making bargaining suits, battle suits, fashion suits...uh, wait, did I say that out loud? So, its going smoothly. I'm just freakin amazed at how fast the right build on a dryad kills. Both of these builds are just Played with some of my clan members, 1st one never got to really do much because I killed most things off screen. If any got through because of the largeness of the group, they died before he could get to them Other clannie was 10 levels higher than me, and we rushed through the Unique Mount quest with me at 20, him at like 30. He lives upstairs from me but all I heard him say was, "Damn you kill fast." Kudos to those of you who make and post builds. is for you and I am most certainly not worthy.

How did you mod and what did you mod? I'm doing 2 builds, one of Put's and one of yours. Hey, need a shopper for Put's Also, is that the order to gain your skills in? What about order to master them? Would be appreciated if you could post such info, if not, I'll try to figure it out. From the moment I picked up the blowgun and saw just how fast it was, daaaaaaaaaaang. I'm putting aside my seraphim and shopper TG (both about 40, silver) The seraphim I'm going to try a build of my own, but really no reference for 2 handed seraphim's. Does 2 handed sword or axe/hammer really have that much lower dps than dual wield? Anywho, I am currently on the PS3 version, as I got a friend in the clan hooked, and in turn everyone else got hooked. While there are some differences, the major thing is builds are pretty much the same, sans blacksmithing, which is supposed to be fixed with a patch about the end of june (looks at calendar) or thereabouts

done I really appreciate it, thank you.

Would anyone be able to go through the trouble and toss me a PM with the codes please? Much appreciated. I'm also curious if theres a way to input codes into the PS3 version as well? I have it for both the PC and PS3. Anyone know?
