Any recommendations for a build (preferrably something like Duelist or Shadow) I can go through the game with somewhat independent from gear/trading? | ||

Is it Lightning Trap that made them stronger? I like Ice Nova a lot but killing bosses with Witch always takes too much time for my taste, which is why I like playing Marauder. | ||

Depends on what kind of character you'd like to play. Do you want to play a melee char (tanky or dps), ranged bow char, or a spell caster of sorts? Then I can suggest some stuff. There's a lot of class flexibility so it comes down more so to the skills you want to use. | ||

GGG is catering for people who play maps (and they sort of encourage multiboxing) and slap people like me in the face. They should just put a hardcap for overall MF and keep both IIQ and IIR as-is. @bluQ, let me guess, "high level areas" will be map content? That's probably the case considering the path GGG has chosen. We don't know yet how they readjust the level of areas. They emphazize that you should play in partys, so yea if you are looking for a single player game and compare that to the multiplayer part of it, sure you will maybe not "as good" as those dudes playing in partys. But i never understood why you always need to measure urself with others ... and if you do, why pick a totally different group of people that don't even represent you, to compare yourself to. | ||

I remember Witches were pretty bad not long ago. Is it Lightning Trap that made them stronger? I like Ice Nova a lot but killing bosses with Witch always takes too much time for my taste, which is why I like playing Marauder. Just ice nova, fp and firetrap. Rhox is farming Church dungeon 1 and 2. They lose alot of time killing bosses, because their single target sucks, but a leveled ice nova allows you to farm faster than any other class, because of it's insane AoE. Witch is obviously the hardest class, I wouldn't ever want to play Witch because I'd definitely rip to merveil or brutus, but I watched Rhox's vod and I don't think any other class can clear church dungeon as fast as Witch, with maybe the exception of leap slam duelist. | ||

Ok, thanks for the explanation. I saw Rhox post in the last race where he got 3rd and wow he had godlike equip. Not sure if that's also a must to make a top finishing as Witch. | ||

Then I can suggest some stuff. There's a lot of class flexibility so it comes down more so to the skills you want to use. Well I used to play some sort of Ethereal Knives shadow before. It was pretty fun but at some point I felt it just got too gear dependant (maybe that's just me). I was thinking of some dual wielding melee char. I won't be playing HC so it doesn't have to the safest build of all time. I just want something to get me through the game that let's me farm some items somewhat comfortably in the later stages. Actually I'm relatively open about classes, I'd even play some bow ranger or something, I'm just not a fan of pure spellcasters. | ||

With the passive tree being reworked significantly you can only do so much planning before the 1.0 patch goes live. | ||

The Scion is being added to the middle which is going to break a lot of current builds and GGG stated that some keystone passives are being moved. Full skill reset for all at 1.0 patch. Chris said in the raptor Q&A that the passive tree on the official website pulls from the live client so we won't have the new tree until the patch goes live. | ||

Because I'm competitive. I don't want to be forced into one direction and especially not play parties when every-fucking-thing in this game is causing desync and lag. When others with far shittier gear can get better results, something's wrong. Anyway, I'm pretty pissed about 1.0 . I will have to reroll completely as my build goes through the middle (aka I can only play scion now) and the new leagues are dead to me. Should the IIQ change come to the normal leagues in 4.5 months I will quit the game. | ||

Sure you have the league ladders, but come on.. if your definition of being competitive means grinding for 12 hours a day I'd rather not be competitive. I can appreciate Baker hitting lvl 100 for example, he obviously put alot of time and effort into it, but that's kind of my point. In league ladders it's all about the amount of time you put into it, not really about your skill. At least I personally wouldn't use the word "competitive" in such a vague context, where the amount of time spent outweighs the skill required by such a huge factor. With dual spork and enough time on your hands, the only question really is "do you have enough time to get to 100?" and not "are you good enough to hit lvl 100." Personally, if anything, it's the fact that totems even exist in this game that ruins the actual game for me. That's part of the reason why I only play races. Because, not only, would I have to put in alot of time to be somewhere near the top, you actually have to play a totem build (preferably dual spork) to guarantee that nothing ever kills you. Put up two totems and chill, that to me personally, defies everything that ARPGs are about. It's in the word itself "action RPG" and not "click two buttons every 10 seconds and just sit behind a totem for the rest of the time RPG". | ||

RPG games are about fun. Races are very competitive. You have defined your own argument in such a way that makes it necessarily true. Can't argue with that logic. | ||
