Just put points in stuff you think is fun and have fun playing around with it. I prefer this system by a large margin. having the freedom to actually build my character the way I want, and then remake and build another, and another, and another, ect ect. I play these types of games to build a character, not to pick a class. That means committing yourself to the choices you make and carving your own way through the game. IMO it takes a lot of the fun of the game out when you have a system (like d3 for example) that simply gives the player everything with 0 input from the player. | ||

Only the editor isn't released yet and it's release date is still to be determined. Respec on last three skills isn't worth talking about either. If you accidently click the wrong skill maybe, but generally when you respec you want to completely change how you're playing so it is useless. | ||

A few questions about stats: - Spell damage is based on % weapon DPS--does this mean that caster spell damage is based on Strength as well as Focus, or does Strength not modify damage done by spell? I would assume it's the latter, because the fact that Spells can crit but not execute would mean that Strength actually improves spell DPS by more than Focus does. - Spells cannot fumble, while physical attacks can--meaning for an Embermage, Dexterity is an inefficient stat (though I suppose every stat seems to be slightly inefficient regardless of what your class is)? - How have people been balancing Vitality vs. the various offensive stats? I sort of wish that you could stat respec your last 3 levels, not just your skills. EDIT: If Strength actually does modify spell damage (by increasing weapon DPS) that would mean the optimal way to improve your spell DPS would be a split between the stats, not just Focus stacking.

The skill descriptions don't really do each skill justice, so at the very least, the skill respec is worth having just so you can test a skill's effectiveness and ditch it if you don't like it. It also means that you can save your skill-points for a deeper primary offensive skill without having to do the awkward D2 thing where you go with nothing/just prereq skills forever. | ||

IMO it takes a lot of the fun of the game out when you have a system (like d3 for example) that simply gives the player everything with 0 input from the player. Well it seems like they fixed a problem from the original where damage actually scales now. In the first torchlight, all skills that weren't based on weapon dps were terrible later on because they didn't scale well. Most skills that aren't weapon damage have an asterisk that says based on player level so that makes it less damaging. I'm honestly worried more about my stat points though. I'm doing a 1-1-1-2 every level up sort of thing and can't decide if I want to specialize instead. None of the stats seem useless (although they could be depending on the numbers) and everything appears to have a level req OR a stat req so you can't exactly screw yourself over there. Only time will tell, but perfectionism has its problems ^_^ | ||

TBH man this does not sound like the game for you. It sounds like a headache. I know if i had that kind of mindset, i would not be able to enjoy this type of game. D3 sounds more fitting, no choices to worry about, nothing you can possibly do that would change the eventual outcome of the class you chose to pick. No consequences, no repercussions, if your into that sort of hand holding i guess. | ||

TBH man this does not sound like the game for you. It sounds like a headache. I know if i had that kind of mindset, i would not be able to enjoy this type of game. I'm not trying to make the perfect character, but I do wish there were enough transparency in the system so that I could be rewarded for planning ahead with my stat points as opposed to just winging it. I'm sure that all the nitty-gritty details will all be researched and wiki-fied in 2 weeks. It just feels weird (and I guess kind of fresh and exciting) to be one of the early adopters playing before anyone knows anything about how everything works. I didn't play D2/LoD on release, so by the time I played, most of the stat formulae and breakpoints were all fairly well tabulated. | ||

My response was directed at the one above my post, but as to your point I feel like seeing the tier perks helps out tremendously when planning ahead on what you are building towards. | ||

D3's autostats wand skills was totally retarded, if they could fully balanced the whole thing then it would be genius tho but obviously they failed hard-mofo-core. I played WD. | ||

The game runs perfectly fine, very smooth during the actual gameplay. However, whenever I open a UI element (such as the inventory window or whatever), it lags and the animation stutters as the gui element slides out. It also does the same thing when the window is sliding off the screen when I close it. As I said, nothing else about the game is suffering bad performance. Any ideas? Also, I have a good computer that runs current AAA games no problem. | ||
