I'm not sure being a melee int is good late game as you'll be wearing mage armors.. it can be paired with defense but experimentation is meant to be free and not tied up to a certain mastery
why do you think only earth enhancement and brimstone (only level 1 brimstone??) are worth getting as offensive skills while leveling up?
@botebote77Seal of fate is a great skill man, what a shame you bash it like that Here we are with another necro thread gentlemen (I think I get my necro-satisfaction from here since I can't get to be an actual necro in the game).. I started a battlemage and just realized onslaught got nerfed terribly.. seems like the "doubled damage" factor is gone.. unless getting tons of physical damage and good equipment in the late game, I don't see any point to max it at the beginning.. maybe keep it at level 2 to just make the effects of other passives in the tree last a little longer..So, do you have any suggestions on which skills to prioritize while leveling up?.. I haven't searched the forum yet but I'm quite sure there isn't any guide for battlemage.. or I'm just blind af..
If you are doing a physical melee build %physical damage is not urgent and flat burning is not needed.
Ring of flame looks good until you check energy usage. If you can compensate that (puppetmaster necklace), why not?
man, I've played all the characters in diablo 2 and my favorite most fun to play is necromancer.. revives, corpse explosion, bone spirit, poison nova, curses.. and not just most fun, if i am to run a hardcore char, it would be a necromancer.. but.... back in the day, we don't do that.. we just play for fun and nothing else .. so i don't do that in TQ either although i hate dying
as for the topic, it really depends on the items you have.. if you have archmage's clasp I'd totally go for permanent battle standard.. i haven't played a battlemage yet but i have an assassin and when i switched tactics from a traditional fighter to permanent battle standard, it's really improved and is so much stronger now.. if you only mostly have str items, then of course str/dex build.. but then i don't know why earth.. dream would be better for that.. or the left click only conqueror .. or even huntingas for leveling up, if it's me i might just finish normal with pure warfare.. or i get earth just for the stats
That is exactly why I asked that question.. putting just 1 point into brimstone gives you a mere 5% physical damage, which is nothing in the earlier parts of the game.. so I'm wondering why you chose to waste that 1 point in that skill at that point of the game..
i don't remember much anymore except that spirit (or was it spirit?) has that thorny skill (not reflect) that comes from underground.. looks like the skill by the bug hero in warcraft 3 (undead?)
Oh, please, don't talk like an ultrahardcore minmaxer. This is Titan Quest. There is no such thing as "waste one point" ever since level cap was raised again. "Waste 20 points" - um, perhaps that matters. But then the link I posted has ~60 unused points . If you don't spend it there, perhaps you can max earth mastery 1 level sooner. From an ultrahardcore minmaxer perspective neither skipping it nor taking is important.
