  It's not really the more popular version I don't think, the improvements in the newer ones really
  make a lot of difference for a lot of classes. 1.0 was pretty awful unless you were a
  spellcaster. It's just that back then when we didn't have daily updates we used to have 300+ post
  threads and a lot more discussion, so all reference values are from back then.

  The only thing I hate about the newer versions is how little exp you get compared to the older
  ones. It takes way longer now to level.

  >>1390309
  Smite only works if you also have Fireball (no, really. I don't really know what the developer
  was thinking there, but that's how it is). When it activates, Priest is arguably one of the best
  classes now.

  Leveling up was even slower in 1.0, though. Level 9 was considered high back then, dudes with
  successful level 13 characters were revered as gods.

  Something like 1.5-1.9 are the fast ones and 2.0 is "late level oriented" or some shit so it's
  insanely fast and practically a different game.

>> [_] How to specialize your character: a tutorial Helpful Anon !jEESjgUSBw 10/07/10(Thu)02:37
No.

  1. What is specialization?
  - Your character will tend to level up one skill more than the others. While barely noticeable at
  lower levels, at later levels the difference will be enormous with that one skill multiple times
  higher than others. This is called a "focus" or specialization. It is generally thought to be a
  hidden variable of your character.
  - There are also a couple of secondary foci which are skills your character will tend to keep at
  a higher level than others, but not as high as the specialization. These will end up being about
  2x as high as your other skills. They are generally not considered important.

>> [_] How to specialize your character: a tutorial Helpful Anon !jEESjgUSBw 10/07/10(Thu)02:43
No.

  2. How do I select my character's specialization?
  1) Non-spellcasters (all except bard, priest, wizard and necromancer)
  - Depending on your class, between 30% (Archeologist) and 99% (Rogue) of the time your
  character's specialization will be one of the skills he starts with. This is extra easy for
  class/race combinations that start with only one skill. Just reroll until you start with the
  skill you'd like to specialize in. You can branch into a few to be sure, which is extra useful
  for the Archeologist (detailed later).

>> [_] How to specialize your character: a tutorial Helpful Anon !jEESjgUSBw 10/07/10(Thu)02:44
No.

  2) Spellcasters. This is trickier - your character will often only level up his specialization
  later and it may very well not be one of the skills he started with. Here's a good method:
  - Reroll your character until you start with good skills, including one you'd like to specialize
  in. This is so you can see progress in that skill early on and don't have to wait until later for
  it to show up - a matter of convenience.
  - Go to town. Branch your character (refresh so the game saves, open the game up in multiple
  windows, load save) into 10 or more copies.
  - Wait until level 2. Close those copies which haven't progressed in the focus. Select those
  which have progressed the most. Branch into 10.

>> [_] How to specialize your character: a tutorial Helpful Anon !jEESjgUSBw 10/07/10(Thu)02:46
No.

  - Repeat at level 3. At this point it's very likely you can see what the focus is already. Branch
  into 3-4 to be sure. Remember, the game only saves when you close window or refresh, so if all
  copies start focusing on something stupid, just open a new window before closing them and refresh
  to overwrite your save.
  - To select secondary foci if you desire, you can apply the same method. You'll usually need to
  keep branching until at least level 5 until you can identify the secondary foci at a reasonable
  level of confidence.

  That's it! You can now have the character of your dreams with very little labor. Hope this was
  useful.

  The greatest challenge is finding a build that can MAINTAIN momentum past level 20, not just
  speed through the early levels. My bets are on Forseeing Priests and Fireball Necros (and
  possibly Knights) at the higher levels, my Learning Wizard is failing miserably after reaching
  level 19 in like a day.

>> [_] Anonymous 10/07/10(Thu)03:29 No.

  >>1390349
  If you want more data: He currently has Learning at level 3493, which means he gets insane
  amounts of EXP. He also has a very high Quickspell which means he spams the everliving fuck out
  of spells. He's godlike as long as his mana reserves last... which is a few seconds at best.
  After that, he just can't make the enemies at Ancient Pyramid or Deep Sea Cave die, and they
  usually still have about half their HP left at that time. It takes him about 5 minutes to kill a
  single enemy. It just doesn't work, he's basically stuck.

  He was WAY faster than my knight before, but now I'm thinking if I had kept running my knight, he
  would probably have caught up already because he was always doing more damage with his strikes.
  Tricky game is tricky.

  Okay, my 3 branches of a fireball priest are dispersing a lot. One is at level 7.9, one is at

>> [_] Helpful Anon !jEESjgUSBw 10/07/10(Thu)04:19 No.

  Quick guide to the character classes of v. Final. Format:
  Class - Class Skill - Strength - Remarks

  Part 1: Melee classes.

  Knight - Power Attack - Largest STR gains in the game coupled with a high DEX - Hits hard, hard
  to kill. Probably the best rounded of the melee classes.

  Paladin - Power Attack - Gets more spells than the knight at the cost of STR. Highest CON, high
  CHA - Extremely hard to kill. Most players keep away from this class because it used to suck in
  1.0.

  Ranger - Sneak Attack - High STR, high DEX, has access to Sidearms - Sidearms and sneak attack
  make him a much more offensive character than the other melee classes, and make him advance
  faster at lower levels. He also gets a lot less HP due to not having a mount. Underplayed class,
  there are few high level rangers out there.

>> [_] Helpful Anon !jEESjgUSBw 10/07/10(Thu)04:21 No.

  Archeologist - Scoundrel's Luck - Gets a lot of spell levels at the expense of everything else.
  Has access to sidearms - A mix of fighter and spellcaster. Scoundrel's Luck means he gets a lot
  more gold than other classes early on. Another underplayed class.

>> [_] Helpful Anon !jEESjgUSBw 10/07/10(Thu)04:28 No.

  Part 2: Spellcasters

  Wizard - Quickspell - Gets more spell levels than the other casters (?) - Quickspell increases
  spell casting rate, making the Wizard a very offensive caster. Suffers from mana problems as a
  result. Considered best class in game by many.

  Necromancer - Bone Armor - Gets a high number of spells. Has access to totems - The combination
  of a high amount of spell levels and the extra mana granted by totems makes the necromancer
  arguably the most well-rounded of the caster classes. Traditionally the "second best" class in
  the game.

  Priest - Holy Smite - High WIS - Gets much more mana than the other caster classes, even the
  necromancer. Only class to use WIS offensively. Smite is a stronger, faster fireball. Underplayed
  class due to getting extremely few spell levels in earlier versions compared to other casters.

>> [_] Helpful Anon !jEESjgUSBw 10/07/10(Thu)04:29 No.

  Bard - Bard Song - High CHA - Another mix of fighter and caster like the Archeologist. The Bard
  is more caster than fighter, while the Archeologist is more fighter than caster. Bard song slows
  enemies, makes the bard attack faster and do more damage and often makes him almost impossible to
  kill if he has regeneration. Gets fewer spell levels in exchange. Always gets better gear at the
  same level than other classes due to discounts. Underplayed class, used to be worst class before
  2.0 due to hitting momentum problems around level 10.

>> [_] Helpful Anon !jEESjgUSBw 10/07/10(Thu)04:33 No.

  Part 3 - Ranged classes

  Rogue - Sneak Attack - Insanely high DEX, extremely fast attack speed, access to sidearms -
  Relies on his fast attack speed instead of STR for damage, relies on dodge instead of HP and
  armor for defense. Gets fewest spell levels of all classes save maybe the Knight. Uncanny ability
  to survive against stronger foes, speeds through the early game, yet usually considered an
  "average" class.

  Cowboy/Cowgirl - Trick Shot - ??? - Strengths are unknown even though there are many people who
  play this class. Has access to Mounts making him very resilient. Trick Shot uses "tricky things"
  to give bonus damage to regular attacks.

>> [_] Anonymous 10/07/10(Thu)05:20 No.

  >>1390330
  If you really want to powergame, you should branch your character into 2-3 copies just before
  level up anyway, to make sure you get the best evolving variant. They usually show some hard to
  predict difference after a while. Of course, it does sort of kill the mood.

>> [_] Anonymous 10/07/10(Thu)05:24 No.

  >>1390415
  Yeah, despite what anon says, Concentration at least used to be a better focus than fireball,
  because the +int gives you that much more damage.

>> [_] Blade and Soul 10/07/10(Thu)05:28 No.

  >>1390418

  im hoping that with the +int it'll reduce the mana cost on fireball since the fireball will be
  lower level if it isn't focused on and it will do more damage because of the +int focus and quick
  spell will be of more use with fireball with it being lower level at least it sounds good in
  theory anyway i'll see what happends

>> [_] Anonymous 10/07/10(Thu)05:30 No.

  >>1390419
