Can't wait to finish this expansion. I don't like it at all. It's like i play another game. The artstyle isn't in line with the rest of the game. Also, there are times when i feel that i play a beta. I hit a lot of invisible walls in the middle of the road, the caves are too tight and i can't see anything (for example, the ghost from the mine: i only noticed it was a boss when i got it killed and the orbs droped. half of the time i was aiming blindly because i couldnt see the boss because of the walls). Btw...its my first play thorugh this :D. It's....exciting. Got close to death a few times.

Really happy to pass this act 3, never went that far. But it was rather tricky sometimes... like in Wusao with draconian rushers.
I feel the difference with the runesmith which was more tanky. On the other hand the spellbreaker is taking hits well if he stands in the battle standard influence zone.

Act 4 was less difficult than act 3, mainly because of the ritual medallion crafted for the Manticore encounter: protection against undeads and demons is like a warm coat in winter  ;)

Updated and great work Tauceti.

Yeah, I once built a character around those Radiant/Shining/Lustrous/Dazzling items which give damage to demons.  ;D

Going slowly now. The most difficult part was Sciron's camp. Not Sciron himself because the 3 came one by one but all the camp. I had to return to town to load CTAP up to 50% so that i could make my way through the camp. Even with that, it was dangerous to fight outside the battle standard zone. The ranged hard hitters positionned on high ground along the way are specially challenging in Xmax.

TQ designers really made a good job with this map !

Trolls camps were less difficult since it is always possible to protect against beastmen and bleeding damage.

Thanks Medea, we shall see.

More used to ranged or pet class, I am surprised by the spellbreaker. It's an unexpected fun class to play, and so nervous (like all the warfare-based classes i suppose). It's mighty tempting to cross over the red line. Therefore my concern is that kind of scenario:

Me: - Ok It's the last boss, don't mess it up Leeroy !
Leeroy: - I wanna go fight
Me: - We have time. Let's review the strategy for this one.
Leeroy: - I wanna go pull
Me: - No, no, there is plenty of mobs around, let's clean first the area. Eh what the ? STOP !
Leeroy: - LEEEEEEEEERRROOOOYYYYY
Me: - ...

Have you played on MMOs Medea, in boss-fights groups/raids ? this video is hilarious (check Leeroy who is AFK  ;D)

The ancients were not easy because of hordes around and also water spirits. The most difficult area was Alfheim near Asgard. So crowdy. Had to hit and run a lot: these damn constructs guarding the entrance are able to take off half life in one hit with their spear. Thanksfully, they are slow.

inching closer.. inching closer.. hey just a reminder about black elves

https://titanquestfans.net/index.php?topic=368.0

actually we have the same approach for HC.. change items as needed, equip less damage from _____ .. but i can't remember what race those black elves are

and the answer is no medea but close now.. 2 more waypoints iirc.. sorry to butt in  ;D
