Old Players with New Characters (strategy thread)

[Thystonius]

Not really an old player, I only have enjoyed the last two updates (since 0.6.11 if current version is 0.6.12). Restarted a couple of times, current character is well built and will stay my main. Next to that started a neutral build for testing purposes, right now enjoying my main. I think a combination of regeneration, corpse eater, bark skin and of course increased fortitude is strong for the first 80 levels. Ah and of course combat speed. Wondering what next release will bring, either 0.6.13 or 0.7.0

It will be 0.7.0

[Thystonius]

Still on the same path since HH and WA will be upgraded in 0.7.0, one more level for BS 3

[Argon of Peristalsis]

My current character is very offensive. Most of my level ups have gone to AC. Early ones mostly went to AD.

This all relies upon getting a RoL. It turns offense into defense. Skill points have gone to (two each) IF, MF, CS, and one to QL. If I don't get a RoL by level 32, I'll choose another point of MF. If I do get one, I'll use the point on IF at level 35.

Getting ready for the next update i see.

Happy hunting Mr Tek! Your Blackwater build is looking like it's gonna be a good one.

Yes, yes I am.

Your Blackwater build is looking like it's gonna be a good one.

I hope so. I really do like this build. Especially if the AC stacks with duel weapons like I'm hoping.

I am loving that Blackwater Build not because I think that I will ever use it (until dual wield shows up) but I love the fact you took something that most people thought was useless and made something out of it. My vote goes for that one.

[Duke]

It is a tough choice, but I see that the one build has the +1 DR shield and a skill point in WA. So, if the Blackwater build had those things as well...it would probably garner even more votes, at least that is what i'm guessing. Now if only the Blackwater Ring of combat had more AD, like 5-10, that would be a sweet item!

I don't even own one of those rings. Not worth it to me.
