Yeah.. Dryads can be kind of squishy.. Ditto for High Elves. But Shadow Warriors are tanks by nature.
Mainly just the DPS - my dual wield unarmed SW kills things way faster than any of my other characters
The reflection and being hard to hit, plus having lots of HP thanks to the buff is just the icing on the cake
Fists kill with sheer number of hits in combos, while healing him a bit and regening the combos
When I use fist weapons, the damage rises a lot. When I switch to dual wield club/sword, I get close to 1k damage per swing, but doesn't necessarily kill any faster
Having a hit % over 100% helps a lot
I'll put up a vid later. So much fun, he really looks like a ninja or something
Even then comapred to all the other classes I've tried, this build is a cut above them all. My Dryad, of the same level, was chugging down potions at the same stage!
Although I think my Dragon Mage and Inquistor seem to be pretty good as well
Is it just me or is the Shadow Warrior unbelievable explosive, strong and godly, with dual wield fist weapons or even just fists?
I'm trying a build out now, and at level 43, with all attributes into strength, with focus and Tactics lore the main focus. 2 buffs. Even unarmed he does 140+ damage, and 500+ with hafted fist weapons
Main combo - of leap, Frenzied Rampage and Death Blow, other combo is FR, Sweep and Death Blow.
I pretty much 2 hit mobs, and 2-3 hit champions. The big squid and Gar'Colus. were easy to kill....
No shopper or Enhanced perception used either!
And the bad guys can't seem to hit me either 90% most of the time
I experimented with changing the sounds on the energy weapons/TG arm gun and certainly gives a different feel. I've never been really happy with the originals - too cheesey and annoying
A sound I created by accident in my audio editor, mixes a WW2 cannon sound from a mod I did for Combat Mission years back and a short burst of another gun sound, seems to work well for the 2 handed energy weapons and TG gun - gives the impression of more power
Just for laughs I snipped one of the light saber swing sounds and tried it on the energy staff and it seems to fit!
Just a note, to make the sounds play in Sacred 2, you have to save them in OGG format, and using the VBR option.
LOL I was playing a ton of Path of Exile, even splashed out on 2x10 premium stash tab packs... but now I have discovered Sacred 2 and have not played POE for a few weeks
You really need to use the Skill Tree planner someone made for POE. I always have it open while playing, so I can plan ahead as I level up
Highest character thus far is a level 65+ (from memory) dual totem, 6 zombies and skele totem, and traps witch
Compared the regions.txt from vanilla to the community version, with PSPad text editor, using the text differences tool, and found the only changes were the region max/min levels. So that looks to be it
Unarmed Build
