Hi I'll try to give some additional help on this, however I'd strongly recommend first reading Vaclaf's LF TG builds for both I&B and CM-patch, this is where you'll likely find most of the answers you're seeking for about this build, if not done already. Mechanix X-E for Ice&Blood / Mechanix Omega-TX for CM-patch You'll also find his videos on his YT channel here. The game allows you pretty much to do anything you want with your build, be it that you use only one or more aspects. As desm said above, you can play purely with Lost Fusion, it'll work, but you can also add Devout guardian mainly for it's energy shield (as you can see in Vaclaf's builds), or Source warden for debuffs (For example you can use Fiery Ember to reduce your opponent's armor against Fire damage before using Flamethrower, and even their attack speed if using the right mod) and eventually damage, it's up to you. The answer isn't only for this question in particular - everything you do will get better as you level up, as you'll slowly increase your skills and get better gear. Most builds at start of the game, have horrible regen time and damage on CAs and you need to kill with your weapon until some time when you get a good balance between regen time and damage. Also worth mentionning it gets much better when you have a character with Bargaining to support with +All skills jewelry and some other useful goodies - Blacksmith skill helps as well but as I understand you're already using it, which is great. Skills can be cast quicker if you increase your casting speed by either spending points on corresponding aspect Lore skill or use +xx% cast times bonus on items (mostly on rings), keep in mind the maximum is 150% cast speed. I think like all magic-based CAs the flame thrower has 100% hit chance, it's use is just tricky because of it's bad range, quoting Vaclaf on this one : You should always use the mount that's dedicated to your main aspect as it gives a regen time reduction bonus. For you weapon of choice I'll once again redirect you to Vaclaf's builds, and add that you don't need to pick any weapon skill for your build.

Merry Christmas everyone, I hope all of you had good moments with the ones you love!

Hey, congratulations Lujate !

Yup, I was in the second team. Btw I'm playing again since 3 weeks now.

Wicked dooble-post^^ Yesterday a team of 5 players made guardians runs from ~16h20 to 20h00 and got 7 epics ... : Maritha's Stake Boneslicer Sacred relic of Arcania Sacred relic of Fire Rogers Raving Razor Ellen's Commitement Silithar's Blade ... And some nice uniques : Kullgard's Taskwatch Ice Flash Serpent's Tongue Feather Tappings Baelthow's Strenght Thanks Vanylla for the list.

400-500% visibility range is good to start exploring.

You get 10% chances to find valuables every 40% map revealed. So if you reveal 120% of the map, you'll get +30% chances to find valuables. If you don't want to fight any ennemy, it's a good idea to explore in bronze before level 60 or in silver before level 100. Btw, you can also get mini-sets that gives you a bonus of +xx% visibility range as final bonus when you equip the 3 parts of them : (Dryad) http://sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:Tendils_of_Time (HE) http://sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:Vestments_of_Innocence (seraphim) http://sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:Twilight_Of_The_Gods (SW) http://sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:Infernal_Torment (TG) http://sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:XTM-2174 Good luck

Hey, that's a good idea!

Ey... I had to up this thread. Just remind these good times today, nice numbers of runs we had there !

I thought the most sockets you could shop was 3.. 2 sockets for jewelry/smith arts and a socket for elemental damage modifier. There is no 3 sockets items at merchants, only set items (and bunny ears ) can have so much sockets.

Hey Gogo, nice choice of build, one of my favourite for SWs. I got one like that at level 132 in HC long ago, when Ice&Blood was released. It's very fun to play, and can be a good bosskiller too. Here's the basic build I used, then feel free to do some changes ^^ Skills : Concentration - 01 Astral Lore - 200 Astral Focus - 75 Tactic Lore - 5 Ranged Weapons - 75 Malevolent Champion Focus - 75 Combat Discipline - 75 Armor Lore - 75 Constitution - 200 Shield Lore (avoid attack speed malus) / Riding (Reduce penality on mount) / Combat Reflexes - 75 Mods : (Buff 1) Neither allegiance 1a-2a-3b Rallied Souls 1a-2a-3a (-> more minions ) Skeletal Fortification 1b-2a-3a Spectral hand 1b-2b-3a For me modding Shadow veil isn't usefull, especially if you want to play with someone else. (Buff 2) Reflective Emanation 1b-2b-3b Augmenting Guidon 1b-2a-3b (-> Will help your skellies) Frenzied Rampage 1a-2a-3b I was using a combo with Skeletal Fortification and Frenzied Rampage, it was great to get instant-recharge with reg. per hit. As weapon the better in my opinion is a LL% shuriken with RpH and a good shield. You can also use bows or energetic weapon, but none of them have LL%. Also try to have 100% chances to hit for bosses, then you'll be sure to have RpH against every ennemy. Oh, and, last note, don't forget to use Rallied souls on the battle field, then you'll get more minions Have fun

Ahm... the good old times... Lot of memories in this thread.

Wow... this is stunning

Maybe you're talking about International Forums of Sacred? --> http://forum.sacred2.com/forumdisplay.php?f=107

Nice screenies D-mo, it seems you're having a lot of fun there !

My level 67 niob-shopper was getting amulets with max +4 skills/CAs. I'll say you can get +5 at level 85 niob or 100 platin.

Don't worry guys, I'm sure they'll find other ways to make more money by thinking about "player game experience".

+1, nice to see char-skills

If I like the demo version I'll surely join the full game, for now the previews makes me want to play. If I play this one I'll follow clan events with pleasure. The only thing I dislike is the possibility to buy items with real money... they always want more more and more money from their players... Let's hope for good things.

Hey, I was surprised to see a so little set-item name dropping from the egg, and when I opened my inventory I discovered that : Item Chances to reflect : combat arts Set

What is the build of your dryad ? Ranged ? Magic ?

Okay, thanks for the answer!

Hey, Just a question I have in mind now, Is it possible to create some special items that grant a special ability/skill when they are equipped ? An example : A 2 handed staff that summon a permanent powerful companion (like a little phoenix/dragon throwing fireballs, or anything else) when equipped ? Then if weapon slot is changed, the companion would disappear and appear again when weapon-slot is activated. I think it's not possible, but it's just a question.

And thanks again!
