after data currption of my nearly invincible meelee highelf level 70 in platinum with +82 all skills and +50 CA, 80% deathblow, over 300 runes at skin with nearly 70% melee reflect, I can safely say that focus ONLY on meelee aspect e.g Delphic focus/lore will benefit you in the long run... For your question: 1.ancient magic is for non-weapon based spell, so magic coup doesn't gain benefit 2. expluse magic what? what are your mods? Banish dead? pentagram? More delphic focus means more level CA equal more CA = better status of spell (depend on your mods!) 3. Weapon lore increase execution speed of magic coup (if you miss), dephic lore increase actual spell speed 4. last mod will only benefit melee elf in terms of inbuild fire damage e.g (if you have Lord wayne's player killer sword or something with inbuild damage) After 75, it's ALL magic coup magic coup magic coup to death... I assume you have taken melee route which is like constituion, shield lore, etc , so if you did not take ancient magic/pyro lore, you will not see any spell damage from firey ador, in the end you have to decide melee, or magic, hybrid elf just lacks... power? p.s I think mods gonna move this outta build section

I uninstalled sacred from the system, restored system defaults, then re-installed sacred and patch, problem still exist.

I can create/delete a new character, but unable to join/make game. Found something new, when I join a online server (hosted by my friend), my save/character will crash his server, thus allowing me to see "host has quit the session" everytime... It seems like my save crashes EVERY server I logon to... My savedata of DOOM & DESTRUCTION... first infiltrate a server, second lag the Sh*t out of it, lastly host has no choice but to shutdown his/her/its PS3... my savedata is possessed & demonically evil. BE VERY AFRAID! yeah, I'm going crazy,,, cause if there's no fix for this I might well say farewell to this wonderful gaming experience and some nice people out there in Ancaria...

bump

From now on, I can't join/make a game in sacred Here's the story... Today while playing online, after defeating the 4 nameless guardians, I do the usual save game before some noob dies and reset his ps3 which will cause all my loot to go garbage,,, while the auto-save icon appears, the game freezes, and I had no choice but to shutdown the ps3. But when I log back in, I can't continue campain, create free world, can't join online game. Whenever I create a game, it just stuck at the loading screen with the ps3 controller and the disc icon spinning... Whenever I join a online game, it just says "host has left the game" I tried let my friend invite me, still it says "host has left the game" I searched on google and people say a possibility of savedata being corrupted, but that was written in 2009, is there a fix now>? Holy Hannah! is happening, it just sound surreal to lose TWO level 110 characters, one level 85, one level 70, one level 40, one level 35.... plus the deleted character's playtime, probably adds up to 500 hours of game time!

I like exploring as well and take time reading/laughing at some graves.

Shadow warrior looks so bad ass and that's all I need to keep me motivated hahaha

at high level Reflective Emanation will replace combat reflexes nicely, so last skill pick imo should goto combat discipline to cut down regen, add more combat art attack power and at mastery, activate 4 semi-buff simotaniously looks really cool on a side note, Halberd of Commander, Gronkor's Downfall and Nengruil's Doombringer is probably the best pike, spear, and pole from pole arm uniques. I think pole arm is superior at killing large crowds, but dual wield is better at killing bosses. I just love how poles sound so blunt when hitting enemies "SMACK IN THE HEAD"

I found Anealed anealed blade and thought it was typo... I also found lots of "Bloody Great sword" Also, I found some weapon with animal names, like sword of penguin, something like that.

need Niokaste's set any level will do, and quetzal's First Strike, any level. Just doing experiment with both Dual wield and Sword weapon both mastered (75pts).

Ice elf is really powerful but too much lag in online games when spamming RN Crystal Skin + GI really, I mean REALLY is powerful. First started HE, and looked at the GI description, can't even believe such CA existed... wish every char would have a -regen buff that you can eat unlimited runes lol... make caster a piece of cake. thx for the guide.

First, the seraphim has more level than you, plus the battle stance buff really pump attack (if disregarding rune eating) and you will need tactic lore with chr level, and a good sword up-to-par with your character that does crits.

Can AW mod with LOCK kill Mud suckers? (the annoying swap bats). I have to ALWAYS switch to meelee or nova to kill those bats... only time BFG hits is when the bats attack towards me.

The reason I'm not sure what to choose stamina or intelligence is because I've read many caster guides (Pure caster Rev-tech, Kat's Pyro, etc) Alots of them enphansize 1 rune, 90% intelligence, +CA +ALL skills, then I read this guide enphansize alot stamina and saw the video doing great damage. They are all great "fact" guides, but I'm just unable to make sense out of stamina and intelligence. For example, 1 point in stamina will likely allow 1 increase of CA level thus increasing damage, but 1 point in intelligence will increase CA damage as well, so in the end which win?

regarding signing attribute points, I've been pumping stamina and raise combat art level with niob runes in gears (just below the maximum level), but STILL can't seem to increase the damage of radiant pillar, should I pump intelligence? Another thing, would high level combat art (~1s regen achieved through pumping stamina) + % spell intensity gear have greater damage than low level combat art (same ~1 regen) + LOTS of intelligence attribute pumped into I'm hesitating to decide where to spend my attribute points... don't know which will benifit me the most. Thx

Is Revered technology focus (ie, Warding energy buff), Plus warding energy lore better than Battle Stance, hence Exalted Warrior Focus? I can't justify using only BattleStance from the warrior tree, where as I would use pretty much all combat arts provided by the revered technology tree. Warding energy > Battle stance:)

I was thinking of an unique pure celestial caster as well, but let me ask you, is Exalted Warrior Focus REALLY helping with defence? Running up buffs seem to hinder too much on regen if you want decent defence from BattleStance. Can the build survive without buffs? I was thinking instead of Exalted Warrior Focus, take Riding instead to help with defence and decrease regen to allow maximum spell damage. Btw, I am using ONLY radiant pillar for attack and that's it. I like to use Radiant pillar follow by Hallowed Restoration and nothing seem to hurt me, since I am constantly on the run casting RP and HR.

and takes the fun away, nuff said.

I thought you can get SB back up by spending time In-combat? Am I wrong? Does SB stop increasing after you reach lvl200?

Warning: Post not so constructive as typing on ps3 is a pain in the... Here's the story: Fighting 2 guardians at the sametime and accidentaly changed tv channel... boom level 110 with 0 death, dies... So, is there a difference between two identical hero (same build, armor, attribute AND survival bonus), one that died once/few times, VS one that never died? How about in the end game both (lvl200) with 100% survival bonus, one died and one never?

thx for clearing things up, guess revered focus and lore is the way to go Edit: quick qeustion, is it advisable to put more than 150 skill pts in revered tech focus and lore? Also could I pick Combat Discipline over Toughness? Dunno if I should go all damage? thank you.

how much dmg AW can exeed Soul hammer in general, and if I put 200 each in revered focus and lore? what if I put 200 each in tactics, revered focus ,and exalted focus and max battle stance, would pelt and soul lack power? (would pelt and soul make up the dmg with speed?) im confused sounds like pelt is lacking pwr at high lvls let me get this straight AW dmg affectd by bfg, revered lore dmg boost bfg dmg affected by tactics, battle stance dmg boost, revered focus so to correctly max AW I need high dmg bfg(Mod by tactics) , thus need tactic, but Dobri/WIKI said AW not modified by tactics I need help

thx for the input, I play on ps3 and found something interesting, the damage differs drastically when I summon bfg EMPTY hand VS having a weapon with high attack (around 3000 difference dunno if this has been reported or just a console bug?

hi guys, im new to this build, but tnx to the guide im in niob 0 death. I have a quick question though, witch skill EXACTLY contribute to boost bfg damage ? for now ive kept revered focus and tactics lore @ chr level witch is 90, ive read 150~ bfg runes, I was wondering if I should add ALOT pts in exalted w focus to get high level battle stance? so if I master 9 skills (exceptranged weapon) to 75 that leave me 245 pts, where should I spend them to get maximum damage result? thx for reply
