Does anyone know of any place I can look to see general build suggestions or perhaps suggest some of your own? I got my character to lvl 35 and my save file got deleted so I'd rather not have to spend more time leveling up just to try out skills when I'm gonna start again to get the "right" build. I'm downloading the game since I think it the save error may have just been a glitch with my browser.
For those who care to know more, I was mostly relying Divine Blessing + Sprint + Blade Storm + Force Globe + lvl 4 fire sword for the majority of my damage against bosses (it works wonders to have an attack potion, berzerk potion, divine blessing and start a Blade Storm against a monster when his armor has been worn down), charge slash for armored monsters and dumping all the points I could into enlightenment... But I'm wondering if there might be some worth to other skills like the Master of Defense Skill tree or Dual Wield Skill Tree. I never bothered with any of the weapon proficiency skill trees since I wanted the other skills more than what I only assume to be a minorly noticeable damage boost + an extra automatic attack that slows you down.
I suggest you focus on passives early on. Get the special attack of your weapon type to lvl 2. Then get assasin skill to 100% extra. after this Get the skill that when you hold the attack button, your damage get's 20 times stronger. I defeated the first two boss in less than 5 hits! Then focus on any active skills.
the damage gets UP TO 20 times stronger, and it depends mostly on timing. I mostly used it to break armor though. Also, doing what I did I killed most bosses in 2 good hits with blade storm. I could kill a one eyed giant with one blade storm by wearing down his armor then setting one loose. Also, I had most of my points set to constitution, about 1/4 as many into strength and minimal points into either Luck or Agility. Also, are your active skills affected by weapon proficiencies?
you pretty much have it right on there, the elemental storm is as good as bladestorm, and you can use one while the other is on cooldown, should be pretty much enough to clean anything when you want to. To use it in a comfortable way, just leave your mouse pointer in the middle of the screen, it will behave similar to bladestorm while letting you use other skills! On the character points, I personally recommend full agility. You can get 61% block with a shield, and it is possible to get 39% from agility (15 points for 1%), which would make you not only immune to physical but allows you to keep low weight items, since you don't have to care for defense any more, letting you choose what item to keep on a slot since level 1. (this also allows you to compose endgame items since the start, belts and rings only have 3 usefull stats, so a 9 compose one with 3 levels of stats already in it, make it a perfect item)
I suggest the active shield block, since you can use it to block anything and heal if you are good at it. You can even heal from blocking poison effect, which is kinda cool.
I played with axe, and there is a way to speed up it's attack speed: 1. get dual wield 2. put a blade into your shield slot, and the axe in weapon slot 3. change the blade back into shield and you can swing the axe same speed as you are dual-wielding
