So I've spent the last couple of nights playing TQ on the Switch and thought I'd give some impressions with the latest update. I have 4 characters I'm playing basically at the same time. It's quite a slog, but they are all level 15-16 and they are all at the Knossos portal. I have a dual wield Onslaught melee Warfare character, a Spirit character with the Lich and Energy Drain (I think it's called), a Storm Mage with the Wisp that's now no longer a Raven and back to being a lightning ball which I love. Last but not least I have a Hunter/basic Archer. I haven't picked a second Mastery for any of the classes yet.

In playing these 4 characters on console, I can say that the most difficult one to control is my Onslaught melee character. The problem with playing with a gamepad is that you have to use a directional cone to select specific enemies which is very hard for me to do. I hope to GOD that I can just get used to it, as I want to play a spear character in the future. I did notice that with the latest update on Switch that the loading screens appear to be a few maybe several seconds quicker which is great.

So far so good, but the Relic vault is still an issue. I can't seem to transfer relics from one char to the other.

I have been playing on Switch too.  I am just trying out a few builds and one thing I do not like is the inability to attack unless there are enemies around.  Unless I am missing something, I cannot attack the practice targets.  It also impact traps as I cannot throw a trap unless there is an enemy in the area.  Is it me, or am I missing something with the controls?

General Discussion / % Damage Absorption

Is it multiplicative, additive or just the highest one?  I thought I read somewhere it was multiplicative, but my very simple tests on a harbinger made it seem like only the highest mattered.

So, a full battle standard (45% DA), Trance of Cov (20%) and Distortion Field (20%) yields?

Multiplicative: 64.8%
Additive: 85%
Highest: 45%

???

There is nothing in the game that can give piercing damage to pets, is there?  I guess that would make Ranger very OP.

Interesting, but I feel it's way too imbalanced.  Also, the frequency of those items showing up at merchants is really too high.  Like 10 Eldritch bows which all cost 4.2 billion each.

Any chance you can make a full database replacer?

Created bug where you can no longer combine relics.

Meh patch.  I wanted to see some good changes!

Runemaster AE / Re: Superman Skinchanger

You don't use Seal of Fate/After Shock?
Its the biggest dmg per hit skill and very good debuff for your builds (Freyela buff its dmg crazy if triggers both at once).

- About Tranquility skill, it doesn't reduce skill energy cost permanent, it by%. So if you don't have enough energy to cast Energy Armor after all gears+stats, skills (that +energy, -%energy cost), you can't cast it.

I was debating on Seal of Fate.  I just hate the delay.  Could replace Guardian Stones.

Yeah, well, if it were 100%, then I think you could, so it's either 1100 mana or 0 mana for energy armor.  Basically, I can only cast it when I am in Briar, which is fine since all my other CDs are so short.

I do think this is the best DW Thrower build though out of all DW throwers who ever DW throwed.

Sorry, I Newbed that.  I’ll get some more pics later, but I haven’t gotten deep into legendary with it yet, but so far, cakewalk.

Runemaster AE / Superman Skinchanger
« on: 17 July 2019, 23:34:05 »
I am not a showcase kind of guy, but here is a quick down and dirty on Superman and his fortress of Solitude.  It has a lot of similarities with bote's skinchanger, but Superman flies solo.

Here is the full level 85 build.  You can easily get almost everything to satisfactory levels by 70-75, and additional +1 skills only helps.

https://www.tqcalc.com/TitanCalcd6f4d6f4rune9de6.html?mastery=Skinchanger&master1=4&master2=10&sa=30&m1=32-0-0-12-0-0-8-8-0-8-6-0-1-0-6-0-0-8-1-8-0-0-0-0-0&m2=40-10-0-10-16-5-10-10-6-10-1-1-5-1-0-12-0-8-6-8-0-12-0-15-0

The key to this build is Freyella, which I cannot find in TQ DB, but I get them like candy and the epic gambler seems to have way too many in stock.



It's a Runemaster wet dream with the elemental damages and the 33% chance for 300% elemental damage...but Superman loves him some 25% recharge and with dual wielding these guys, you only need another 15-20% recharge to get a permanent Briar Ward (Fortress of Solitude).

Now, Tranquility and Briar Ward give a 82% energy cost reduction (well, 90% of the time).  Since it is additive, just get another 18% more and spells be free.

So, you pop Briar Ward and keep it up, refresh if you killed everyone too quickly.  Throwing weapons are great to pick off solicitors at your door.  The fun is in the free Runic Mines.  They cost nothing as long as you are chilling on your Bark-o-Lounger and with that much refresh, I think I can cast them every 2.1 seconds.  Boom boom boom.  Now they try to bum rush you, a free Thunderstrike that can be cast every second will level them. 

Guardian Stones are free and almost permanent.  Energy Shield is FREE (as long as you have enough mana to cast it if Tranquility doesn't pop.  Plaque is there to help with bosses (but who has time to Plague when you are in your fortress watching TV). 

Anyway, I'll post more updates as I get further with this guy. 

Other key items that I have.  Obviously Stonebiners +3. 
Polaris is nice as it reduces cost, recharge and adds elemental damage. 
Volva's Harden Wraps combined with Polaris puts me over the threshold for recharge and Energy Cost reduction. 
I am using the Alfheim rings for now as they are overall pretty good.  I am sure there are better.

Head and Torso are just the best I can find that give +1 skills.  I was using the one head item that gives +15 HP and +15 Eng regeneration, but once I got my energy cost reduction over 100%, who needed that?  Just potion if your skills are out of whack.

Once I got enough stats for Stonebinders and Freyella, the rest is going into Int for damage and Health for double dipping.  This Superman is way more smart than strong.

Nothing to see here

There are new settings, but none of them allow you to change the completion bonus.

I believe that editing "AllowItemEdit" to 'True' enables the completion bonus change.

Anyway, I changed several options to 'True' with the above and now I can copy items, change the afromentioned bonuses, what have you.

Yay! :)

I have that as true and still can't change completion bonuses.  Can you?

So new version appeared yesterday, and I still can't copy items or change completion bonuses.
"Player Equipment ReadOnly" is unchecked.

Am I doing something wrong?
Solution?

Actually:

If you modify this:

Q. How to activate the cheats (character edition, item edition, item copy)?

A. Follow these steps:

Navigate the the installation folder of TQVaultAE
Open TQVaultAE.exe.config in a text editor (i.e. notepad, not Microsoft Word)
Find the key AllowCheats and change the value from False to True
Enable the cheats individually in the configuration menu

There are new settings, but none of them allow you to change the completion bonus.

Does Runeword Explode proc envenom weapon and it's tree?  Like, fragments, do they carry the poison and CC?

Anniversary Edition - General discussion / Re: Finger of Charon
« on: 21 June 2019, 17:33:32 »
No, and that is Vitality Decay (Vitality DOT), not direct Vitality dmg. So it not that good.

Yeah, but in the ideology of multiple DoTs and this being unique, it would have been sweet on something like a Diviner who is EBing and VDing.

I think a good use is to spread Electrical Burn around.  Just zip around from one group to the next and let them burn.  Not sure how well this would work on legendary though.
