Hmmm, starting this character I used destroyers a lot. Then was a phase when I recharged the energy blaze with weapon hits. Once having 100% chance to halve reg times and mastered combat discipline I was able to spam the blazes without a weapon hit. For the mind strike, I would modify it for boss killing. It is more fun to be able to kill with spells alone. But here again... This is late game. I fear my screen shots are in german, but you should see the Regeneration pro Treffer numbers. It are several seconds. I have to read this whole thread again myself. It was never planed as a guide so probably a lot is not written. I will fill the holes hopefully this week. Sadly combinations at dragon mages are bugged. So don't use them early on.

Aspect lore forbidden, weapon lore allowed.

Nice (I like alchemy builds), just 2 questions: If you play CM-patch. How about using the sigil set that boosts CA-range? But even without it: Why not using a maelstrom to bundle all the enemies just in front of your sword befor doing a mutalation? The maeistrom would do 2 things: bundle them and damage them. So if you have deathblow, it may be triggered on the first RM already.

Chili chocolade is becoming popular. A few years back it were just 2-3 sellers in germany, now it are several dozens. But I like to make fruit chips for several reasons. Doing them in the central staircase-oven... the whole house smells like aromatic fruits, giving a feeling of autumn.

Sounds like bad luck. Your Friday Hmm, if the ladder fall was at work, here it would be a working accident and the costs covered by the health and accident insurance a company has to do for its workers. So best delete this I had it too close and replace it with: the ladder was at a distance considered to be safe... Fighting with insurance companies you have to choose your words carefully. Your Saturday Refridgerator: We store food in a deep clay cellar. One day 5 years ago a badger decided to dig through the wall. It was eating too mucn and it couldn't escape, there was a concrete buttom one feet high. So it paniced and played skunk. It even visited the room with the washing machine. We had to throw it all away, food, clothes, books,... Then doing enzym room cleaning... Were like 5000 Euros. No insurance paid for damage done by wild animals. Luckily I wasn't bitten while catching it, with your luck I would beenm getting painful injections against rabies and to be called a day later that the badger hadn't it. Car: My wife bought a new car 7 years ago. It was stolen after just a week while visiting an ill person at night. 11 weeks later the police found the car: nearly total damage. A group of 13 years old used it for driving tests and their parents were unembloyed. So court forced 50 Euro a month for 3 years = 1800 Euro as payment. The damage was at 8000. The stupid thing was: if the car would be brought back after 3 month the insurance would have paid the full price of a new car... So they considered the 14000Euro car as only 11000Euro because it was used ... That was like 3000 dollar price loss for one week driving. How much is a 2 week ship trip with a luxus liner? Your Sunday Living at a place where my internet is a direct radio beam from a pole near house to a pole on firefighter-tower in village. I never have access to internet at storm. Stupidly at a rain storm it would be the normal time to sit at a computer while not be able to work outside.

Just found this picture of apple-chips making, probably easier to reproduce than my staircase oven method. I line the chip rings up on silicon threads and hang them in the heat flow, this person does it on drying plates in an oven. My wife likes just cinnamon as a spice, I prefer pepper. Chocolade Chips Or dip them in hot chocolade and let them cool- here having them on a thread easies it a lot. I do my chocolade chips last, I put some chili in the chocolade. Adding that we can use quinces, pears, service tree fruits, mespilus germanioca (common medlar), ... to do the chips and use 10 ways for spiciing, 20 ways for a dip,... that a lot of combinations. Normally the year runs out before we have tried all combinations. http://www.martinsapplechips.com/

The quests for each difficulty are stored separate. When reaching level 60 you could create a gold game, buy some gold equipment or do gold forging, logout, start silver game to continue the quest there.

Anyone ever played a character which: Step 1: hasn't taken a damage skill: like magical lore, tactic lore, combat discipline or ancient magic Step 2: isn't wearing any armour/jewellry with x% damage or x-x damage I found an old dryad on a backup which was skilled without damage skills but played not too bad, at least in silver. Now I wonder if I can add step 2. If you would start a new character which class would you choose, which skills and which combat arts.

Welcome to darkmatters. I dont own a Xbox. Any chance you accidently hit a button to change a weaponslot?

Sauerbraten is traditional made from marinated horse meat. Rat, hmmm, perhaps a sailor has a good recipe, I do not know one. My grandpa said he ate them as POW. Back to the chips. Illegal over there? http://meetinx.de/files/2013/08/chio-maedelsabend-chio-maennerabend.jpg

Normally I stopped a character at around level 160. The enemies were running into their level caps while the own character still leveling, so it added: Long time needed for a level Less challenging because of no longer levellng enemies Not able to wear the found high level equipment ...

Horse meat is hard to get and they waste it there? It is a delicatesse.

Apples are ripe My father died around a year ago. This tree was planted by my grandpa when my father was born. My daughter used it as a training tree for her studies in arboristic last autumn. It was almost dead and this year it has apples again. it is also the home of: 12-15 bats a family of small owls a family of nuthaches hornets - at least they keep the wasps away What a luck I didn't chopped it and replaced it by a younger tree. It is also the proof for the paper for university in practical arboristic.

A manual which was translated from english into german. Too bad the english original wasn't the original either. The english one was a computer generated translation from japanese it seems. Well not as worse as the picture below. Luckily never run into this: Probably because most of our furniture is old and handmade. The manual I am currently reading is from a Einachsschlepper, a tractor with just two wheels. By attaching a one axis trailer and limiting the speed it can be driven without a driving license. If calculations are right, our second can drive it mid through rough country to shortcut the normal street. So instead 18km to school it would be just 4km. Currently she uses a bicycle, but at snow and mud this one could be better. A small cabin is already added, including a roll bar in case of an accident .

I had to look up moose maple. I think potato-chips are the reason why a nearby Walmart went bankrupt. The former market had 2 types of chips (paprica, salt and pepper) but 100 sorts of pea, beans, lentils, buckwheat, ... Then Walmart took over and it was like 100 different chips but you couldn't by the traditional used lentils anymore. We haven't bought any potato chips after our staircase is setup and running mass-production. http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/18412-what-is-the-latest-big-real-life-project-you-started/ Dried chips from quinces and then coverered with chili-chocolade are currrently the favourite. Or a party snack: smoked pear chips layed with tartare from salmon and horserettich sauce. We were inspired to do this by a wedding party were the chef did potato-chips with salmon-tartare and wasabi cream as an appetizer. However we found potato-chips as too fragile, breaking all the time when we tried fruit chips (potatochips are best when thicker selfmade ones I learned). Family is really creative since we can do our fruit chips for free.

Just (3am) returning home from playing a sort of barkeeper/cocktailmixer at a Polterabend in the village. Polterabend is the day before the marriage and traditionally the couple spends it together with friends and neighbours. Friends throw porcelaine at the house of the bride, because a german saying says shards bring luck. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polterabend We don't do a bachelor party or something like this in our area. We had 32 Celcius in shadow yesterday and the most wanted drink was a 'sauergespritzter Speierling' Speierling is a sort of a really sour cider. An apple wine made from apples with some fruits from the service tree(Speierling). Sauergespritzt means that some sparkling mineral water is mixed to the cider. The mix is really refreshing and contains less alcohol. Speierling is made here for centuries and we are judt a few miles from Selters, the village which gave the name to mineral water. Selters= seltzer water. So the mix is cemturies old too.

File Name: Youcanthide.WMV File Submitter: chattius File Submitted: 06 Sep 2013 File Category: Ice & Blood Shadow Warrior Builds My weaponless ShadowWarrior (level 115 in niob) doing the orc cave(monsterlevel 132). Could be done quicker but I did hard aiming at just 9 frames/sec. Click here to download this file

The Equipment Used when finishing the niob campaign at level 115.

FINISHED NIOB So here is the begin of something like a guide, even I doubt that someone will replay it If there is interest I could upload the character and perhaps we have a Spielberg who could do a video. The Captain America Build Best to played with CM-patch, but at least AddON The build needs the regeneration-per-hit item modifier which wasn't in game before the AddOn. It is in the console variants of the game. Game Video: Character fighting the orc cave http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/files/file/332-youcanthidewmv/ Chapter 1: The Idea and the main attack There are several ways to use a melee weapon: using a big two-handed weapon using two single-handed weapons using a single-handed weapon and a shield using empty hands using a shield but no weapon The two-handed does enourmous one hit damage but lacks the shield for defense. The dual wield variant is doing weaker but two hits. The sword and shield sacrifices a second attack compared to dual-wielding but offers more protection. Worser than any of the 3 variants in any aspect. So last of the variants is the shield and no weapon. The whole character idea is based on the fact that demonic blow considers this variant as a dual-wielding attack. When doing a demonic blow the graphic shows a punch with the left fist followed by a swing with the shield in the right. Any x-x damage ring socketed will be working on two attacks. By having a shield we free defensive sockets for x-x damage rings and +allSkills jewelry, best both in a single ring. *allSkills will bring more defense again, so even allows more x-x damage rings, ... So how do get the idea working: Doing a look at the spells.txt and the tokens we choose tokens = { entry0 = {"et_mult_weapondamage", 1300, 2, 0, 9 }, entry1 = {"et_baseAW", 200, 350, 0, 5 }, entry2 = {"et_damage_any_rel", 400, 100, 0, 5 }, entry3 = {"et_chance_bleeding", 197, 3, 1, 5 }, entry4 = {"et_damage_areasplash", 745, 5, 2, 9 }, entry5 = {"et_debuff_reduce_armor", 500, 10, 3, 9 }, entry6 = {"et_weapondamage_poison", 40, 10, 4, 9 }, entry7 = {"et_life_leech", 30, 15, 5, 9 }, entry8 = {"et_chance_deepwound", 200, 2, 6, 5 }, }, mult_weapondamage: This multiplies base weapon damage by (1.3+0.02per_CA-level) baseAW: this brings 20+35per_CA-level base attack value damage-any_rel: this brings 40%+10% perCA-level damage. Adds to tactic lore, combat discipline and any x% damage in items damage_areasplash: 74.5% + 0.5%per_CA-level chance that nearby targets are hit by the attack weapondamage_poison: 4+1per_CA-level base poison damage life_leech: 3+1.5per_CA-level life leech damage The modifiers area damage vs bleeding Most fights are versus groups so most time will be lost when having no group control poison damage vs reduce armour When finishing the niob-campaign the CA-level will be around 100. So why to choose poison damage over reduce armour?: Reduce armour is probably just for physical armour. An enemy with 100% physical damage mitigation would be immune. So having another damage type in the attck is not too bad. The poison modifier will be 104 base poison damage. This will be multiplied by 1.5 because of mult_weapondamage. So we are at 156. The damage _any_rel will add 1040% damage, that is more than tactic lore and combat discipline added. This poison damage will be in both hits and even doubled if deathblow is triggered. In my opinion poison damage wins against reduce armour at short fights versus the many normal enemies. At bosses we have longer fights and using a sigil set from CM-patch will bring -x% enemy physical resistance. This modifier will add up in longer fights. life leech vs deep wound Again it are the many fights again groups rather than the few against bosses. with around 900 life leech in each attack the deathblow level is reached earlier. And it brings some healing.

I am calculating a Haswell. Currently I am at 15Watt (hoping to reach 12) and only a CPU-fan at maximum 600 rpm. Planed main use is as a near 24/7 machine. Typing, music listening (classic, so fan noise is unacceptable) , hobby of daughter (controlling a knitting machine who will run at night), hobby of me (milling machine to create oldtimer tractor parts, or engine parts for the bikes of my father in low) ... all can be done at low power. Compared to a game machine we could save 100-200 Euro a year in power costs. Not using the Highend chips but 2 steps smaller, using a SSD-disc, onboard graphic, ... And by adding a graphic card gaming is possible, then around 130Watt design power.

Some close battles where my brave shield basher followed the old saying: run away to fight another day.... The scorpion boss was too hard. So doing some leveling first to maximize spell resistance. Finished the scorpion and the crystal, now approching great machine in niob at level 113. Still fighting unarmed and not using x% life leech. Funny character, it is one which gets better and better the higher in level. Not like these inquisutor mages who do hard at high levels. Just started to put points in toughness and only a single point in shield lore to boost the Kira shield to 75% blockchance versus melee and ranged. A single point into combat reflexes, ... so a lot of points to be spend in defensive skills to free sockets for offense. 200 runes read into both buffs, into hard hit, into the temporary buff, ... Just need enough reg per hit to fight the 11s regeneration time. But 5.5s is enough because of the double hits. 2s are in the set gloves so just 3 garnets wit reg per hit in sockets.

I think the english wiki uses breaking points because of values like: 149 skill is 61.9% 150 skill is 61.9% too Some people think that the point at 150 would be wasted. I think the game uses more digits intern and just rounds for display. If the others are right: breaking points, magische Zahlen If I am right Tabellenwerte

Some I don't see breakpoints on the concentration page. A mark at program code to force a stop: break point - Haltemarke A point at which a curve gets more flat like the experience curve at 125/150/175: breaking-point = Knickpunkt. At modifying points: 9 for one full CA modified,...27? for 2, I would choose magic numbers- magische Zahlen Oops, I searched in the text and not in the headlines: Try Tabellenwerte

Jägermeister, all these parties and people bring bottle of Jägermeister.
