Kydogs character lacks dark splatter classic which is a good spell so i wouldnt get rid of that.

My character is a little different to most mages perhaps you would like a look to see what my mage is like

And just a question but whats with the luck/dex thing. I've heard people saying luck is now better than dex.

Draxx,

I'd say that Dex is the old Dex. It's always been useless.


They changed the formulas making Luck better and Dex worse. Dex is worse because it's effect on Ranged random damage has been minimized. Old formula 200 Dex = 13 random damage. New formula 200 dex = 5 random damage.

Luck now adds inconsistantly to Magic, Ranged and Melee attacks through lucky strikes. 10% chance of getting a lucky strike and when you get one, the random damage is increased by Luck/2. On average, 200 luck will add +10 random damage which results in an expected increase in damage of +5. This seems insignificant, but it can greatly increase damage in one attack, at worst your damage is normal.

Dex and Luck are pretty much a push when it comes to bth for Melee and Magic attacks. Dex is still better for blocking. 200 luck is equivalent to 100 Dex when it comes to blocking.

Yeah your character looks like hmm...how do you call it, when a Beastmaster, Mage and Tank meet each other...oh yeah i know...3some and your the after effect

Just kidding but your not a tank mage, don't get Cognition confused now

Didnt mean to put tank mage:( just mage ^^

I dont need darksplatter classic i have mayhem burst i dont evan use my darkness spell. I keep it in storage i hate DS.


Btw Ling tong, if i were you id get blackbones its really good.

I had it before, its not too good compared to ds, ds is the best darkness spell in the game for me, more hits usually means better accuracy. Been thinking of looking in to a few weapons like.

Anyone wanna give me a big rating like reccomendations and everything just to double check what i need to get?

Idk i hope not.

I don't think RUB's been nerfed. More likely you have just been unlucky.

Still if anyone wants to rate me feel free too:)

I think your character looks great. The only suggestion I have is to pick up the Tonbo-giri weapon when you get the gold. It is great for sneaks and you can use it with great effect with Chieftain Iron Thorn, even against sneaks. The sneak on the plain is better after a couple of nerfs if you us CIT.

You might want to pick up CIT too.
