    A lot of (probably dumb) questions about a Temple Guardian build.

    in Temple Guardian

    Posted

    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.

    I'm not to keen on using buffs because they make the regeneration of skills much slower. Is it going to be better when I get higher?

    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 :

    Quote

     

    - Pure fire damage against kobolds, undeads, animals and other enemies without fire resistance. You have to learn the right time and position for using Emblazer.

    - Flamethrower is your very powerful CA againts almost all mobs you face to. Learn how to use it - it is your main middle range killing power - move on battlefield, create large group on enemies, use your advantage from 150% run speed and start burning. Yeah, with mastery of DL this is devastating and very satisfying:-)"

     

     

    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.

    Getting 100% map revealed.

    in Sacred 2 General Discussion

    Posted

    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 :

    You need a ranged weapon. We mostly use leech ranged to bring it down quickly to get as many runs done as possible in a day. One handed stars work awesome for this. Shop for three socket ones so you can stick in item mods to increase throwing speed.

     

    :)

     

    gogo

     

    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 :P) can have so much sockets.

    Shadow Warrior Nether Allegiance Boss Killer/Mob build

    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 :D)

    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 :P

     

    Have fun :)

    Still, the "respec at any time" part of the game still has me worried that the replayability will be low and that it will not be able to maintain my interest for very long.... a couple of months and I'd be done with it as I see it now.

     

     

    I'm with Scott... if respecs are allowed at any time, where does the real gain come from...just equipment I guess? I'm wondering how this will keep me interested as well, if we get to try out everything the game has to offer so quickly. Surely they must have though this through and there is something behind the curtain^^

     

    In Guild Wars, the respecs could be done instantly as soon as you left a campaign, but they kept putting out new campaigns so that the game kept fresh. Is Diablo series like this as well, does it get more campaigns?

     

    :)

     

    gogo

     

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

    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.

    Possibility to create item that grant special abilities/skills ?

    in Sacred 2 Community Patch

    Posted

    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.

     

    :)
