true enough

I just hate having useless bonuses on things, like I'd rather it just not have rSteam at all and just be (functionally) a high-ac robe

also I think SteamDA needs something more useful than rSteam (though it's a good armor otherwise)

I don't think I've ever actually used a dragon armor aside from when I got a PDA on D1

usually by the time I get one, I already have something better

also I've never seen an artifact DA. do they exist?

Tbh I didn't mind paladins - they could maybe use a buff to be more in line with Pan threats but I don't think every enemy should be a special little snowflake (that thinking gave us shedu and phoenixes). Angles are good but fighting only angels would be a little dry. agreed sometimes you just want...

yes

extreme minmaxing should be a diagnosed mental disorder imo

how about making certain weapon types see a greater bonus from accuracy?

a dagger would benefit much more from more accurate strikes than a giant spiked club

that's how I roll too

I never understood why komodo dragons give sickness from a flavor standpoint

komodo dragons aren't poisonous iirc so it seems random. maybe give it to gray rats instead (bites from which often transmit diseases--black plague anyone?)

this is pretty big

still could use an Invo scaling buff, but having a smite-target attack in plate with such a low xp investment is quite strong

reminds me alot of lava orc

I think a spell that turned you into a comet would be cooler

moving leaves a trail of freezing clouds behind you and melee damage could have additional damage

but that's not quite how comets work so it's a little misguided

Common items become inordinately scarce once you need them.

this would be so legit

the option would be awesome

maybe even a little blood splat on the enemy you hit, 1-2 frames long

random blinks tend to kill me more than save me haha

making rSteam more useful would be a better change (or having a better resist on Steam DA)

I would love more things to do with gold and junk items

I've always thought that a God based on gold and item manipulation would be cool. maybe even "bless" a mundane/branded item into a randart at ****** (once per game, TSO/Kiku style)

azure jellies will completely smoke you if you don't have rC+

don't equip mundane cloaks/hats/gloves and forget about them for 10 levels

last game I walked around with a -4 cloak and -3 gloves for jiyva knows how long

edit: thank god they changed how corrosion works

sweet jesus...

If you are more attached to the Assassin background than you are to Vampires, Vampires might not be the best Assassins in the game. They are by no means the worst but you could always try another species and find out for yourself! Try Kobolds, as they can eat raw chunks right up to Engorged. Low HP...

I don't know if I will be playing any thing but assassin until I ascend but would you mind letting me know what 'SBI' is ? I highly recommend changing up your playstyle. I used to be a serious KoAs junkie, then I started branching to other combos and it's made me a much better player overall. As fo...

don't forget the ID metagame

Identify early!

harder =/= better

(Personally I don't like vaults placing items that cannot otherwise generate.)

Why (specifically)?

imo they add flavor (but obviously shouldn't be overused)

- can send a bunch of damage at one target, similar to single target damage spells - can clear a line of weaker enemies, similar to bolt spells - can also clear a medium-strength enemy, and then several weaker enemies behind them The first item is covered by bolt spells, and the latter two are cove...

maybe the game needs a more robust interface for controlling summoned monsters to make the micromanagement less tedious

what about a short duration damage/hit debuff to cleaved enemies? (basically lasting just long enough so that it is constantly active on enemies you are attacking but too short to stack on every enemy in sight) this will make attacking multiple enemies more feasible and increase survivability for ax...

I'm for anything that eliminates gear switching

taking a half turn to equip a blowgun is 90% of the reason I rarely use one

Merfolk Gladiator + Nemelex

very strong early game, very versatile, and so far my favorite combo

like if I wanted to make the numpad enter and plus keys explore and autoattack, what would I put in bindkey?

bindkey = [??] CMD_EXPLORE

Spoiler: show

I've savescummed so I can experience some of the later branches/enemies, but I find the game to be heinously boring and tedious if there's nothing at stake.

I still haven't earned my first rune without scumming, but I'll get there soon enough

so is the hat any good or what?

I don't see why not

you'd have to be pretty lucky to get the right manual though

I do it all the time

tbh it works out well more often than not. last time I got +1 dex +blink and rF+

I like to do it early game so I can just scrap the character if it's an unplayable combo

Minotaur Berzerker
Kobold/Halfling Assassin

+10 plate armor with rPois, +3 STR +6 Acc -1 Dam

worth it imo

random item destruction is a terrible mechanic in any game
