claudius

I don't like how the skill tree is 90 degrees turned from Titan Quest. Will take some getting used to.

Titan Quest it was to advantage to hunt together. The xp was good. Sacred 2 you got less xp.

so can I level and run the campaign quests in a multi server? and name it DarkMatters? does the xp/quest sharing favor group 'hunting'? can I do quests/campaign in a multi server?

sounds like a good idea Knuckles

If anyone wants to play I am up for it. Might fire it up tomorrow night (or late tonight?) to get oriented.

gogo do you know if it supports multiplayer yet? I bought it years ago and never played it because I was waiting for it to be finished. but if I could meet up with friends from Dark Matters it would be worth it.

I like yahtzee too but one thing irritates me is his fans who make videos on youtube about games and try to mimic him and sound horrible.

I have a really good pc but I want to have a console so my girlfriend can play or watch in our living room. My pc is tucked away in a sort of L shaped corner of a bedroom. Not a good place to watch. I wouldn't really want to move the computer into the living room though already too much stuff with a piano, couch, chair, TV. With a console we can just put the game console under the TV. Regarding controller you can buy one that plugs in your pc. Have you ever seen the Angry Joe reviews of games? He is really funny and on games I have played I ususually agree with the points he makes. He said that the mouse keyboard controls weren't very good. That might be just because he doesn't have as much practice. From my reading a playstation 4 can run the same graphics as a high end pc but at 30 framerate instead of 60.

Hi I am recently thinking about the idea of getting a console. Haven't had one since the original nintendo! I probably will wait until the summer and fall are over and we are cooped up. A big pull to buy the console is that my pc is in a corner of the room (literally) and I want to show gaming to my girlfriend who now lives with me. Our TV is right in the living room. Another thing I have read that witcher 3 needs a controller not mouse. So I will have to buy a controller anyways. So the question is whether to buy a playstation 4 or an xbox one?

Rev tech lore controls archaengels wrath attack speed rather than your weapon lore (e.g. sword lore or dual wield lore). Not sure what effect of rev tech lore on the energy shield. temple guardians energy shield is boosted by tactics (more shield value).

I don't understand why the builds in the builds section are not useful? Is it because of the mod you are playing on? Many of the builds in the builds section are tested. My Spider Knight build kicked ass as a tank who could not be killed but who had lots of deathblow to drop things melee style.

Could you download a shopper? Do only Dryad shoppers find blowpipes?

I put a illusionist (nature/rogue) through the game. The rogues crowd control of mandrake and flash powder help the wolves. But you have to go all out. Max the skill that gives the wolves damage reduction when injured. Heal them. The only place wolves are a bad spec (for illusionist) is normal mode Hades and they don't help on some Area of Effect bosses like Typhon. In underworld mod 'trickster' (occult/nature) is even stronger with even more crowd control. Even with increased enemies the trickster is more powerful than an illusionist.

My 'general claudius' build worked pretty good. Rallied soul creates a lot of followers if you put in a combo. Also used the skeletons. But no build is like diablo 2 necro with summons doing everything. Titan Quest summons are also stronger I think.

not in niob but to be honest all my builds are tanks and not glass canons. my goal in building is to make it impossible almost to die. this is especial in hardcore because if you are playing many hours and eventually going to have bad luck like crits. even if I wasn't doing defense from purifying chastisement I would take the damage mod if 2 or more buffs were open. At level 100 (if you are going to niob you got that).. at level 1 purifying chastisement you get 10% crit and 20% damage. At level 100 you get 20% crit and + 220% damage!

No they do different things. Purifying Chastisement you either get (mod it) mitigation or a huge buff on %damage. I like mitigation because you can't socket much mitigation but run of the mill whets give you damage. Reverse Polarity you get reflect which you can mod it so it is reflect for: ranged, melee, and combat arts. If you go mitigation you get a lot more reinforced returns the more you get. See the first 25% gives you taking only 1/4 less damage. Going from 25% to 50% gives you taking 1/3 less; going from 50% to 75% gives you 1/2 less damage; the final 75% to 100% you take totally no damage. So if you go mitigation go for as much as possible. Mitigation works on all damage aside from life leach and maybe Damage Over Time (DOT). Not sure on Dots. For reversed polarity at very high level it reflects like 50% of all damage. You cannot socket reflect in high amounts so it is one of the best feats in the game. Purifying chastisement also gives a nice % critical hit which is another reason to like it and either % fire or magic both nice.

Also I did the mitigation calculations wrong !! 17.7 toughness 9.3 shoulder armor 10.1 chest armor 19.6 purifying chastisement TOTAL IS ACTUALLY 56.6 56.6 (above) 16.2 Insignia of deference (helm) 11.1 Saraki's belt total = 83.9! If you score double mitigation chest and shoulders you would have 73%all and over 100% physical

Also just glancing at my guide at this time... Also don't take dual wield unless you have the unique weapons with %LL. Normally only halberd and 2 handed sword will give this guy %LL. Also the main attack of build (as already in the build) is Ruthless Mutilation from the spider mount and I think only one weapon hits of dual wield.

http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/21381-buff-and-bash-spider-knight-the-last-hurrah/ My 'Spider Knight Buff and Bash' is a 4 buff character with all 4 buffs maxed. Uses doppleganger on boss (with mirror %lifeleach weapon) and Soul Reaver on mobs (because for boss Soul Reaver runs out of souls). He is totally melee (no offensive spell CAs) so just uses the 2 buffs from astute supremacy and Soul Reaver/Paralyzing Dread from Nefarious. So it is full melee. The nice thing about the build is that it is not at all squishy once it gets its feet under it: over 50% evasion, over 50% mitigation, All damage type %reflect (eventually). If I recall it maxes toughness and armor and alchemy first which helps not get squished while getting feet under. Alchemy maxed first for constant (literally) mentor potions. Once Soul Reaver is modded and pumped to high level it is pretty much impossible to die to a mob. Very fast boss kills with %LL weapon (mirror %LL on Doppleganger) combined with attack speed higher than the cap via frenetic furvor. edit: soul reaver doesn't block casters which is a reason to spec willpower and %spell resistance gear and pump that mitigation asap

Krispey creme was just unbelievable at first just tasted so yummy. They did change their recipe but they are still good. I like glazed fried donuts a lot more than cake donuts. One of the best things about them is they have a neon sign that lights up 'hot fresh donuts' when the donuts are hot out of the fryer and you can see that sign and pull up and devour.

From my recollection you just take enough points in your weapon (e.g. axe lore) to be able to equip special items that require lore. You can get gear to hit attack speed. Is this right? In that case why not spec both for different situations?

iron ore and talisman (take grunwald portal west) because elementals and humans troll teeth (take grunwald portal east) goblins ^^^ so those you just go west and kill things and then teleport back to the portal and go east. then rinse and repeat Those are the only trophies I ever harvested...

My Inquisitor Buff and Bash the Last Hurrah in the guides/builds section was a tank with: high evasion, mitigation, and reflect.. Also remember inquisitor can use soul reever which pretty much completely reduces mobs chance to hurt him.

A local hot dog restaurant serves a hotdog with peanut butter on it. I haven't tried the place or the dog just heard about it. But I guess the peanut butter melts and some people like that.
