  1. Well TG is not the choice your looking for because if you read the guides most of them suggest you have either gear already or gear and niob bargin access. In later levels you could kill quickly. Another thing is you want to be hands on and a fast leveler. The only thing that comes to mind is the character you stated you have already played which is the VD Dryad. Which you could play solo and kill things pretty easy besides using VD. You could make a ice or fire elf but not a fast leveler. The only other suggestion I could think of that could be fast later on but also a bargin/EP character would be a BFG Seraphim. Since you already have a high level character you could prebuy alot of the BFG runes along with the few others needed. BFG gets boring but you could mow down anything like a machine gun. Do you mind telling us what makes you unhapy with the VD Dryad, Astral SW and the DW Queen of Blades? One is a really fast leveler with easy niob access for bargin skills, can kill bosses with ease, can solo at any time, the second one is a great orc cave runner (item finder) and the third is a straight up brawler. Well nothing has really made me unhappy, both dryad and sw have a lot of deaths making it hard to level and the seraphim just levels too slow for me, I also have the unable to trade message so to me its almost like its all in vain and starting over before I get further attached would be best.
  2. After playing threw the game on a few toons its become painfully obvious that I need a change, I played the V.D. Dryad to 135, I Played the astral lord SW to 75, and I have a DW queen of blades seraphim at 50. I think im ready to make a change in the way I play, so I wanna get imput from the people that have helped me the most. So what im after is a character that has no problems going it alone, if I have to get my hands dirty, I wanna be able to do it and do it quick, Casting is my perfered choice, but im open to anything, I'd love a fast leveler, perferably one that doesnt need the help of a high level bargainer. (Remaking account XD) My original thoughts were a temple guardian, (and its something id love to try) I Seen a few guides for TG in the forums but they seem like it would be hard as a first choice. Maybe a character that can later supply my others with set items would be nice also. Once again, Thanks for everything.
  3. Yeah im socketing with a 135 Dryad, so everything is higher, and Thanks, ill take that all into consideration, ive gotta find some new weapons, I joined a gold game and couldnt hit hard enough. Thanks.
  4. I guess the best answer relates back to your Combat Art regeneration times. +All Skills does the lion's share of the work reducing your regen times, so as long as you have them under control, you can remove some. Maybe. Remember that a lot of your skills determine your efficency in combat, wereas experience per kill does nothing for your kill speed or survivability. You will never find Life Leech % on jewelery, console or PC. It is found only on: Polearms, 2H swords, shurikens, set bonuses (ie. your Revelation set) and Legendary weapons... just so you know, it's not the best mod to use unless you are fighting high-end bosses (Platinum onward) because it leeches a % of the enemies' health. If your toon is hurting for damage, it is pretty good at bosses in the lower difficulties as well, but not stellar. Okay, so as far as that goes, I can continue on with either, what mods would you recommend if you were doing the build? I feel like ive got the times on my skills under control (and I have a few pieces of jewely that are RpH (1.3s-1.7s) and once I find the right item if I need to ill use them). I have a few +to physical damage% and things like that, I know +crits are always good, but what else?
  5. Im Running the Queen of blades seraphim build, with only one minor change ( I left out bargaining to gain the skills like toughness and everything earlier, and I may not add it back.) Anyways, I Have her using 2 Huntress of light swords, both of which are filled with experience per kill %, in total from everything I have 66% experience per kill on all equipment. I Also have a few set pieces on that I have place +all skills in, which brings my total of all skills to.... +75, and a extra +15 to Defensive skills. So my question is, now that im gaining new set pieces with higher sockets and more defense, at what point do I drop off adding +skills and start with say +experience per kill or battle stance runes (6% Damage mitigation, +6 to battle stance)? I have read about the Life Leech % being placed on Seraphims... I see by completing the Revelation of the Seraphim set, I can gain 1%, can I find these on rings and things also, and what percent is good enough to survive? Im playing on the Ps3, (as I dont know if the rings are on the console) and I have been farming the guardians since 25 (bronze and silver). Im 40 now, and doing well at leveling still, But it could always be better XD. Thanks
  6. That booster slot strategy does not work for console. I tried having +24 to Levin Array on one weapon set, and when it was cast at that high level, it had regen time about 20 seconds. Switching to low-level Levin Array setup (regen time ~5 seconds) did not change the regeneration time of the highly-cast Array... sad times. For buffs, it works beautifully; I haven't needed to read a rune into a buff in a loooooooooooooong time. I usually keep 2-4 pieces of armour as well as a weapon set for pre-casting my buff(s). This I refer to as a buff suit, and needs some balancing between boosting the buff levels, and some +Combat Art skills/allskills to help raise the levels of the Focus as well. Ok, sounds good, I just redid my buff weapons and made them +25 (Each) all combat skills, so I should be okay for awhile to come yet. Thanks.
  7. okay thanks. Now at least I know keeping all those low level items with high sockets wouldnt go to waste XD.
  8. Raising the Combat Art level by socketing, has 1/2 the regen penalty of reading runes. so at lower levels when regens are an issue you can raise Combat Arts slightly without killing your regens, and if you do raise the regens too far, you can always remove the runes from the sockets. you can't unread a rune. +all Combat Art rings and ammys are good for this too. you can always take them off. Ok so say now I've got 2 swords with +12 battle stance each, so 24 total, id take the penalty of. 12 full runes? Precasting was also mentioned(?), my initial thought was you could cast the buff with one set and swap to the other set for whatever reasons without losing the benefits of a higher buff, but I assume I'm wrong
  9. After looking threw the queen of blades build I seen a link to making the best booster slot items. (although the link "does not exist") Mentioned before was socketing +battle stance rings and runes into weapons and armor, other than the obvious, how does this work? Wouldnt it still raise the - combat arts times, I havent done much research into this at all, but I just placed a +10 to all combat arts in a weapon, and instead of keeping my cast times steady or increased by a small margain, it almost doubled them, wouldnt putting runes in do the same thing? Thanks.
  10. Yeah I learned this the hard way, but its alright now, im just going to keep the files and use them as a offline setup, as I play alone mostly, so now harm no foul I guess, next time ill remember tho. Thanks.
  11. So I decided it was a good idea to play around with my character save file (Bad idea looking back) And I copied it directly from one account to another, and upon doing so I got the error message that says it cant be used to gain trophies or climb the leaderboards, which was fine, I just had some simple experimenting to do and after awhile I decided enough was enough and I removed the file from the 2nd account putting back the original one (as I had it saved on a flash drive) upon doing so I got back on both accounts (couch co-op) and attempted to trade and recieved an error message saying. "The hero you asked to trade is not allowed to trade with others" So im not entirely sure on how I got the message, I had both accounts (the same file running) but two seperate characters, and I traded an item from one to the other, which at the time worked, and now its giving me this message. (Bad idea number 500 so far this post alone XD ) So I guess my questions are, Have I messed things up permanently? Is there a way to reverse this? I Dont know about having an entirely seperate person trade me, im preparing to do this now, but what would it hurt for people not to be able to trade me? (other than missing out on potentially life changing items XD) Thanks for the help.
  12. Thanks everyone, I had a bit of an issue with my saved game file, so ill give this a shot and see if it still allows me to get trophies XD.
  13. I decided today I was going to try and get the remainder of the trophies I need for the platinum one, I found the map for all the temples trophy threw the sacred wiki. Is there another map that I could use to find : Secret Halls Of Ascaron (Ascaron Fan) Visit all 42 Towns (City Guide) That will only leave me with the hidden trophy for the 200 miles on mount, 20%,40% of the side quests, and 50% of the map explored, and 100 epitahs. If you have any help on those ill take it too, thanks.
  14. So what your suggesting is stick to the caster (cause after all that is what I made her for) and instead of dual wield, take tactics lore (Just hit 35 and had already put it on before I even looked). So past 35 im looking like this. Tactics lore Toughness Damage lore ? Or am I missing something?
  15. Ok I must have misread what was said, I couldn't see my skill choices, so I can get tactics lore without sword weapons (Thus the confusion)? Then thats how I will go about it, I dont guess ill need concentration for the fact that, I can't spare the slot, and whats a bit of extra damage in comparison to living longer? But I could also cancel one or the other buffs if needed, Thanks for the advice, ill get back to it right away then.
