Why would it be difficult to implement the skill so that is applied after the battle is won?

IMO it is a little bit more complicated than the currently used way. But it should not be very hard. Also keep in mind: The current way is implemented.

tek wrote:Corpse Eater Skill

IMO, the Corpse Eater skill should not add HP after defeating a NPC during a multi NPC battle as this doesn't make logical sense. How does the hero have time to eat a corpse when he has more fighting to finish? I think that this skill should not be applied until after the battle is won to keep it simple. To complicate
things, you could allow the hero to eat during battle but it costs AP just like eating meat or using potions does.

What do you think? Please stay on topic.

Definitely Combat Speed, which is what I used my first 2 skill points on. Paired with the Jewel of Fallhaven, this is still the best skill, imo.

After the past 2 weeks, I'd rate Quick Learner as my 2nd favorite, and how high I rank Magic Finder will depend on how long it takes to get a RoLS (or 2) after I eventually go back to the Gargoyle caves to try for it. If it only takes a couple days worth of playing, it might become my new favorite

I agree the Combat Speed is gonna be the most effective of all the skills.

And the quick learner will help speed up the game alot of players who are later on in the game (like me)

But i also feel like the Increased Fortitude could easily tie with Quick Learner for 2nd place. Only because it takes away the need to put levels into HP which frees them to be put into BC, AC, or AD.

I'm also curious to what people think of the Corpse Eater, Regeneration, and Bark Skin abilities? Are they worth using? If not, why?

Corpse Eater:
Regeration:
Bark Skin:

Are there any skills that you would never use? (like treasure hunter, Merchant, hard hit ect)

as of level 48

2 combat speed
2 evasion

2 more criticals
2 better criticals

2 quick learner
2 magic finder

the benefits of the skills i did not chose, are not lost on me!
i will start over here in a bit - trying out totally new tactics, feeling things out...
i will report my new findings / opinions

I agree that Increased Fortitude also ranks high among the skills. I would put it as right after Combat Speed for beginners, and still pretty high up later in the game. I plan to use my 20th skill point on it. Quick Learner has been really great but I agree its more appreciated at higher levels.

As for your other questions, I went over what I think are useful or not and why here:

(3rd post from the top).

short version: I don't plan to use skill points for anything I can get from normal level ups, or that don't directly affect my character stats.

I'm using Bark skin, corpse eater and regeneration. Would like to invest more in Bark skin as its comforting to have some damage resistance especially in the Iqhan caverns. Trouble is I'm hooked on quick learner now.

from what level do we get skill points
