2-3 months silent huh what happened to the guy?

as for titancalc AE/R, if i send you html files, can you make a titancalc here just like what Pain did? or maybe a separate website but associated with this site?

one thing about it though, the early release of titancalcAE the return link wasn't working.. i didn't know how to make it work.. Pain was the one who fixed it.. so if he can't be contacted, you guys will have to fix the return link

bonepiles and containers don't get multiplied.. and i think the best source of loot is secret passage and hydra.. but enough about that.. this is something i want to tell you, and Hector, and WNG and anybody whose experienced enough: just try xmax :)

i play x3.. playing 3x Typhon or Hades for the first time will make you say "fuck shit hell fucking shit" :)  but then, when you get used to it, try vanilla.. it will make you say "pfft"

this is no joke or exaggeration.. i can swear by this  :)

Spoiler for Hiden:
mimer
cerberus
hydra
surtr
manticore
minotaur lord
fafnir
golden boar
demon bull
loki

Earth AE / Re: Hybrid Melee/Caster Juggernaut

pure str + dex is out.. it's too uhhh what's the right word? mundane? playing safe?

this is not a knack on your character.. just not my idea of fun

and i think i won't need 80% CDR.. maybe about 40% would be enough

edit: or not.. i might get 80% if it proves to be more fun

Earth AE / Hybrid Melee/Caster Juggernaut
« on: 12 August 2018, 08:48:20 »
My last 2 characters (spellcaster thunderer and elemental archer dreamkiller) have given me some headaches on gear optimization :))

I'm quite content with my thunderer but my dreamkiller, although it's still on epic, i can already see I'm gonna have more headache when i get to legendary :))

so to keep my sanity, I'm planning to make a hybrid melee/caster juggernaut.. although it's a hybrid, my experience says hybrids are easier to gear than unconventional builds.. I'm quite sure I'm gonna bore with pure melee so I'll get volcanic orb and eruption

now here is why I'm making this thread: when i play hybrids, i either go str + dex first or int + dex first.. not start it as a hybrid as early as lvl 1.. skills won't be a problem i think because i can just respec and i don't think I'll have any difficulties before i get to delphi where the oracle first appears.. but stats are a different matter because i can't buy them back.. and it's been long while since i last played earth.. so my question: do i start as str + dex first or int + dex first? anyone can give their opinions but

@CrocMagnum
@Firebrand
@Benitot

i want you guys to chime in :)

i don't have many early game items but i remember i have:

amulet with + 1 to earth
fell blade
oath breaker
oracle's wreath
normal green helm of the magus (int req)
hallowed normal green helm (int req)
and the cheat weapon * although i might not use this except probably if shadowmaw spawns

edit: this is the * i meant
https://www.tq-db.net/category/staff
i can't link to the weapon probably because of the name..
so i just linked to staves.. first weapon on the list

right now I'm leaning towards int first either flame surge or volcanic orb.. I'm starting this as a lvl 1 character and as always, xmax x3

831
you can also say it's something some die hard TQfans do because they (we) know it's time to let go and move to other games.. but somehow it's too hard to let go of the game :)

can you upload another video of this?  ;)

i want to see more gameplay of this.. maybe muspelheim area?

edit: and if it's ok, jotuns and frost jotuns?

edit: tunic of the magi + crest of hypnos + torc of the ancestors
Sounds like using three blessings at once. I don't mean any offense, just sarcasm.
;D

I'm also looking at:

golden agris
gambanteinn
SBC cuffs with primal magma (attack speed) this one has poison res
tunic of the magi (10% total damage)
torc of the ancestors (30%)
leggings of the defiled (10%)
green bow tyrant's of speed (30%) found this with my thunderer

the 2 rings I'm not sure yet but one is likely occult of immortality with demon's blood

total damage boosts my envenom weapon and elem damages, as well as PGB and distort reality.. I'm likely keeping PGB because it's fun and i have too many projectiles already so i chose it over throwing knife

what do you think?

i looked at your elemental sage and oh wow your DPS is 7k.. i can't go anywhere close to that.. i have traps though and hopefully my damage will be fine late game

834
can't use blessing of the moirae because i have no str to equip shield.. and i really don't like the short range.. it's fine for now but it's still in epic act 5.. actually, I'm considering equipping 2 eitrs + gambanteinn (90% conversion).. and equipping tunic of the magi + crest of hypnos.. those 2 items should take care of all resists even in legendary.. but i think that would be like last resort.. for now I'm thinking equipping lots of total damage then just enough resists to make it low positives or zero on legendary.. then just change items like getting more vit when I'm against Hades

edit: tunic of the magi + crest of hypnos + torc of the ancestors

cheating is something you do to make things easy for you right? xmax is the opposite.. xmax is something you play just so you can continue playing the game because you've reached the point where you find vanilla too easy.. but if you want to call it cheating.. fine by me.. but if there is no xmax, i wouldn't be playing the game anymore.. if i play untwinked, there would be some challenge.. but i didn't spend all those hours days farming and not use them at all.. and the first release of AE, i lost all my saves so i had to play self-found.. it was vanilla.. and quite honestly, i find playing xmax twinked to be more fun than playing vanilla untwinked.. but hey we all play to have fun.. that's why we play, right? so yeah we can play how we want to play.. in WNG's case, he merely explained the definition of cheating, which i find entirely correct.. in my case, i just said what i felt when i used to cheat in diablo 2.. there was a time when i felt playing it clean.. but diablo 2 is way too old now.. so I'll do it in TQ instead

Spoiler for Hiden:
i wanted to say this somewhere but don't know where that people won't take it the wrong way.. I'll just say it here.. xmax is a fast way to improve.. not because of the loot but because it forces you to do well.. if you can beat 3 Typhon, 1 Typhon would feel easy.. of course to beat 3 Typhon you need good gear.. which brings back to what i said earlier

836
but anyone who played it may confirm that only the bosses fights are actually harder.
not always true.. examples: jotuns, cyclops, even the grizzly bears in act 5.. the wolves that deal bleed because DoT from different monsters stack.. undead warlocks that cast spell breaker.. yggdrasil area where mobs deal thorns, lamia beastmen, act 3 dragonians

also, some minor bosses don't get multiplied by 3.. examples:
the spider that guards the mirror quest in act 4, the anteok boss also in act 4, all monsters in secret passage, the bosses in primrose

837
the game does actually allow you to tamper with completion bonusses, by reloading an earlier save
come on now dude.. this is something you do outside the game.. this is tampering save files

838
i found 3 falcon cape already with this same character, the last 2 were in the same playthrough.. wet de? and tq-db doesn't say it but it has 50% elemental conversion.. hmm seems like the game is telling me to try falcon cape.. and i just might

the items I've found so far that have elemental conversion are:

eitr charm - 20% converted to elemental
blessing of the moirae - 33%
hofud - 50%
golden agris helmet - 50%
gambanteinn - 50%
falcon cape - 50%

839
TQvault, if used only as storage can't be cheating

xmax, urmmm this is the curse of xmax.. people who play xmax just can't go back to vanilla

edit: besides, how can xmax be considered cheating? it's a mod that increases difficulty.. I've read some people say it makes the game easier because you level faster and get more loot.. lulz.. well in full xmax you definitely get overlevelled but it's still definitely harder than vanilla.. and you don't play xmax to farm.. playing xmax untwinked is pure hell.. if you play xmax you have to make sure you have good items already.. unless you don't mind dying 200x

840
While I sort of agree, doing something that the game doesn't allow you to do (in this case, choose the bonus so it fits better your class) is cheating, by definition.
amen

now this depends on the player.. just like I've said in my earlier post, when i was doing that in diablo 2, i was happy.. when i moved on from diablo 2, i felt like "yeah I'm a pro".. but many years later, I'm like "I'm nothing more than a cheat"

edit: in TQ, bonus is just bonus.. you don't complete an artifact because you want the bonus

in most of the showcase videos that I watch, the only thing I see is a char with blinding speed and godly attacks, decimating anything in his/her path without breaking a sweat..
don't know which showcase videos those were but the most part of this game is just like that, right? stomping everything and making you feel very strong.. until you find a certain situation which takes you back to earth.. then all those feeling of being very strong goes poof ;D

edit: then the game reminds you that you died  >:D
