Dziku 0 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Hi, I am old player Sacred 1. I was playing a bit in Sacred 2 Ice and Blood and have questions. Who of these characters is the fastest in cleaning hordes of mobs? Who of them is probably the best versus bosses? At this moment I think about Dryad but don't know about her advantages/disadvantages. I will appreciate all suggestions and advices Link to comment
Popular Post RetsReds 64 Posted October 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Both pyro and ice elves excel at super fast boss-killing and mob-cleaning. Meteor shower and Ice shards are straight-up boss nukes. I'm very fond of Delphic melee elves too - not too fast at clearing mobs but very cool to play and slay bosses with. As for dryad - nature dryads are amazing boss killers with Acute mind and the epy-smthing lances. Range and melee hunter dryads are also amazing boss killers with range dryads also being awesome against large bands of mobs. Acute mind and Goldenglade touch also allow for some very weird and fun staff or lightsaber action (edit: the latter is only true with the community patch). As far as I know voodoo dryads used to be the fastest leveling build in the game before a nerf to viperish disease, I think now they are more balanced, someone can correct me on that, I don't play much voodoo. All in all, the dryad is the most versatile class imo, I've seen even no-weapon melee dryads. For the dragon mage, I can't weigh in, I only have very limited experience with the class. From what I've seen/read, it's a very capable, fun and unique class as well. He has lots of Area of Effect spells so he's surely great at cleaning mobs too. Edit: Also - welcome to the forums and have fun with Sacred 2! It's a huge game so you've got a lot of exploring ahead of you. I'd recommend trying the community patch at some point as it unlocks a lot of extra-but-still-balanced stuff. But for a first play-through(s) even just the vanilla game has a ton of goodies to offer.

Popular Post Delta! 987 Posted October 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2020 Welcome to the forums Dziku. Hope you have many great years on here! I have only briefly played Sacred 1. But I have plenty hours playing Sacred 2 and the High Elf is my favourite character, followed very closely by the Dryad. My prefered build with a high elf is mystic Stormite with some delphic ancaria. Dryad... I am still playing around with her and trying to get my perfect build for her, but I think it makes her more interesting that it isn't so easy. She does have a lot going for her. 2 Link to comment
Popular Post chattius 2,527 Posted October 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2020 Welcome to the forum. The answer will be for just CM-patch added Boss killing All you need to kill a boss is a weapon with x% lifeleech and good enough hit chance, the question is if this is the fastest way. A highelf can do immensive damage if she manages to hit an enemy with all icicles or meteors. The dragon mage lacks this, fastest boss killing is probably x% life leech attacks with regen per hit recharging for the stat reducing spell. The dryad, she is special. She had a total overpowered disease spell which could kill every enemy screens away. This was nerved and the disease spell was ignored by most players. I never ignored it because I always modded it for single target use: more than 30% lifeleech per damage tick at high level. The problem is, will you play to this level. Hope the video is still there, showing how a dryad kills the gryphon with just two spells. Killing could be faster if not just waiting for the opponents death like a comodo waran ;) http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/18562-die-waffenmeisterin-the-female-weaponmaster/&do=findComment&comment=7012932 Mobs I think they have more or less the same speed in mob killing. Surviving I would put the dragon mage first because his attack spells do a bit less damage but reduce the strike back abilities from enemies while doing damage. Leveling For me again the dragon mage because he has a more relaxed playstyle, nice for long sessions. Also it is more easy to add Alchemy to the build, which is nice for long lasting mentor potions. 2 Link to comment

The Ice Elf was the only one I'd played with her in fact...and because we were playing her in HC, every decision was epic... the wrong one and you'd lose all those hours in a death to a twist of fate...ghastly I remember that the reason I took this build was because I'd been watching people playing the old Battle Mage from Sacred Underworld...and the way this CA was animated was just enchanting! Yes thats the word...I'd always felt that some magic was lost in translation with the way the arcade feel in the original game was some how tarnished in Sacred 2... but this incredible 3d world was good recompense. The Ice Elf from Sacred 2 has also been created in lavish style by Hooyaah... who's put many videos across these boards in his battles with all the Bosses... if you're looking for a tasty taste... please indulge in his Ice Elf Legacy! Hooyaah's collection of Ice Elf Magickery! gogo Link to comment
