It does feel weird that you can avoid melee with a single monster indefinitely by always moving diagonally to it, I have to admit. But I'm...
Yeah, Shove is basically melee immunity if you're willing to spam it. You can clear an entire zoo by positioning the mouse over the entrance and...
I haven't heard of anyone making a dedicated archer work, but I suspect that's mostly because nobody's mentioned having done so (up 'til now with...
Sadly for this icy golem, no, they haven't nerfed my spells: [img] The fact that being in LOS of any part of a zoo gives you LOS on the entire...
I suspect the solution for magic is not to tweak the damage/costs of the spells, but rather to make them harder to use -- weirder area of effects,...
Now that is interesting. Smiths stick more metal on everything (+absorb / -nimbleness on armor, +damage on weapons); alchemists electroplate...
Assassination on its own keeps enemies locked down pretty well and makes a big difference in how many times you get hit. I don't know that going...
One oddity I've noticed is that flying monsters will still get hurt by the acid pools that get left behind by traps and some blobby attacks....
I'm currently running a random with these skills: Archery / Unarmed / Master of Arms / Mathemagics / Necronomiconomics / Ley Walker / Fungal Arts....
The crafting interface is a known problem, and they'll be looking to redress it when they get the chance, but it's a fair amount of work....
Unarmed does get the benefit of being able to go dual-shields. As a consequence it should be less good in other areas than the melee builds that...
When the Lutefisk God gives you a reward, he puts an extra bonus on it for each 100 lutefisk you gave him, up to a cap of 500. I've still never...
The character was, at the time of writing, almost level 5. At the time he hit that zoo, he was only level 3 (and obviously bailed right back to...
FWIW, my random-roll character is halfway to level 5 and still has about a third of level 1 left to go. I've killed one named monster and a single...
Okay, we're getting rather insulting here. There's no need to say someone lacks experience with the game just because they don't like your favored...
Steam is the only DRM I've seen yet that provides a remotely decent value-add for accepting the DRM: namely, you can easily reinstall your game no...
So basically this comes down to: <moof> Golemancy sucks, use wands <123stw> Wands suck, use golemancy Allow me to suggest a third view:...
Wands, even with wand lore, aren't spammable. And the zomby pet is one of the worst in the game, stats-wise. Overall I've been underwhelmed by...
I think you mean "smith". Smiths need gobs of iron, or steel for preference. Everyone else doesn't care a whit.
Melee is totally doable. You do have to learn to manage your combats, though. You can't expect to just stay in a fight indefinitely and have food...
