Hi! Some newbie questions and stat suggestion
Melancholia:
Hi! New here been lurking as a non member abit but been trying not to spoil anything.
I recently got TQ AE + Ragnarök from humble bundle monthly and boy was that a win! I wonder why i'vent tried this game earlier :O Must've slipped under my radar due being busy playing d2 all these years and then later Path of exile. Recently had a burnout from PoE as it usualy happens every league, so it was a good time to try this game and i'm hooked!
Been taking my time and just recently finished normal after about 2 days played on my char :D However did some boss farming to ease the progression due i wanna try reach all the way to legendary deathless.
So couple questions about some mechanics:
Does the 33% chance to slow apply to all my spells or only my staff attacks? The same question goes for life/energy leech.
Figured that would be kinda bonkers with the skill i'm cursing with (plague) But it's hard to tell if it has any affect.
Is + all skills worth going all out for in favor of say resistance/armor/DA? Currently using a nice +1 blue chest, but also found a realy good blue hp chest with 60+ pierce resistance among others, and now that i'm in epic i'm not sure what to choose. Atm i've +4 all skills (5+ nature) to reach the lvl 20 cap (which at first i didn't know about)
I'm running a pet build which seems like a solid starter choise to me as it tends to be in most arpgs. Hence the question above.
My first time with typhon and later dactyl was a scary encounter. Instantly killed my pets and they did immense amount of dmg even tho i had tons of hp. At this point i realised i needed to start using charms for stun and other resistances to help it out abit.
Which leads me to question about how i should put my stats. Initially i ruined couple points in str due i thought it was needed to use the armors and such. Later i noticed you generally go int/dex for casters. But what should i go for as a pet class? i'm tempted to dump my points into hp, atm i've 40 unsused points and not sure where to place them as i'm unsure how many more points ill get from quests and what not.
Here's a couple screens of my sklls and stats: Let me know your thoughts and if i should respec some or focus a particular skill let me know. (stats taken in epic diff)
And one last question, the item drops are very delayed at times is this a bugg or is it supposed to be like that? I've googled some but didn't realy come to a solution. Many times i've walked away from good drops because it takes 30+ seconds for the item to actually show up as pick-able. I've read that i could be tied to the physics, if so any fix for this? Tried running Vsync and even limiting fps to avoid 100+ fps
I probably had some more questions too but this is what i remembered, i wanted to wait until i finished the game before asking as to not spoil any bosses and such.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, thanks! :)
Oh that's a bummer, it's the steam version i'm using. However i've started to learn the sounds when a ring/amulet/charm/relic drops so i can sit out and wait for those, but not for other gear.
One good example was after a typhon fight i was playing inventory tetris, just as i was about to use my teleport stone, a blue item appeared. Must've taken atleast 30-40 seconds before it appeared. Makes me wonder how many other items i've missed.
I've found 3 epics so far though, 2 throwing stars, and sickle of kronos which seems absolutely insane.
Throwing stars had lvl 58 requirement and dropped in normal, kinda wierd but eh :) In general i've noticed i find A LOT of throwing stuff. Which annoys me when i want caster stuff. :D
Tho in a sense i've been lucky in that i've found all my +all skill items and such pretty much right away. Crafting that greater druid artifact was a pain though, part reason why i've so much time spent in normal. But i don't mind it :)

I got mine from GOG and have the same problem, but to a lesser degree. Bone piles, chest and kills. Walk away a come back and find thing. Sort of a lag, but it just may be the old computer I'm playing on. Old Windows 7, will check out when I get home in the Fall and use a much newer one.
Welcome and good luck.

This is the loot problem i have as well, i also use windows 7. But i doubt that has to do with anything.
Current theory i heard is due the new updated physics, but there wasn't much postings about it and no fix and it only seem to apply to a few of us.
I was thinking in the same vein of how skyrim craps out if you unlock fps and go beyond 60, all sorts of crazy things can happen then. It literally breaks the game. Walk down a stair and die, flying items and so on. Skyrim is dependant on 60fps cap for its physics to work properly.
Thats why i also mentioned i tried vsync and / or capping my fps, but it made no diffrence at all.
I still enjoy the game but it slows u down quite a bit ^^
