I guess thus is turning into the common RPG debate of which is better, killing them before they hit you, making them not be able to hit you, or making it so you don't care if they do...

my characters have some kinda sadistic issues or something, i never really mind taking damage...
especially when i can heal at the cost of my enemies life!



"go ahead, beat me up all you want... tough guy!"
"because when you fall, your blood will sustain me."

Rapier of Lifesteal & Corpse Eater...
then i take it a step further, trading tons of BC for incredibly low movement cost.

so, i lose a chunk of life & gain it back with every hit...
and able to dance out of almost any conundrum.

[Vampire Build?]



it all depends on who you ask & what makes you happy when you play!
sometimes i pick some unpopular skills, especially when im just messing around...
things like taking Weapon Accuracy as your first skill.
[getting that much AC early (12%) is incredibly powerful]

and also, Treasure Hunter as an early skill...
because gold will net you more "power" early in the game than a few levels of grinding.
so, while a patient gamer might think of them as "wasted skills"...
a person who hates grinding will find the game flowing much more smoothly.

actually - i don't mind grinding at all, i got this game for something to do.
i just wanted to "feel thing out" and see how much grinding could be eliminated by choosing skills wisely.
wisely = taking skills that suit your style, not what everyone tells you to.
granted, these suggestions are golden!

for my serious builds, i almost always save my Skill Point until level five for increased fortitude.
letting that skill earn my HP instead of using level ups to do so.
on the other hand, i have never been the type of player to buy new armor before weapons
or take defensive skills prior to offensive ones...

~ ~ ~

and just throwing this out there for anyone,
spending points when leveling up...

i get my AD to 5, then i get my AC to 100%
next AD up to 10, then AC up to 125%
then AD up to 15, then AC up to 150%

BUT ~ if i am not taking Increased Fortitude early...
[taking things like Weapon Accuracy or Treasure Hunter]
then of course, i would need to be building up my HP on my own.

when i build a character, i also consider what kinda gear will compliment my build...
so i don't need to waste skill / level ups on things outside of what makes the hero strong.
although, first time players really wont benefit much from that tidbit...
i still wanted to throw that out there.

anyway, that's enough outta me...

I didn't read any forums or get any help with this build, just from playing and figuring out as I go. Please any suggestions would be great. Thanks,

Well, for starters, although the ring of Shadow Embrace is pretty good for hp, Increased fortitude would still be much better. Also, have you finished the quests for the crossroads guard house? You can get a shield with Damage ressistance from Minarra if you have. The way I see it, you have very little hp for a build your level, as you never used increased fortitude, and you seem to have invested a lot into attack damage, even going as far as into using two skill points into hard hit. While good AD is essential for gaming at first, as the game gets harder, AD becomes less and less important. Unless you have 200 AD, you can't really kill some of the beasts that you meet on the way to Remgard with one shot. So, instead of focusing on Attack Damage, at around 10 to 20 basic attack damage, most players will shift their attention to attack chance. Unless, of course, you are trying for a damage resistance build, in which case most players take as much AD and hp as possible while buffing up their bc with spare level ups to get some bark skin. It feels great to have 9 to 14 damage resistance, feels like you're a god. But, my advise to you would be to either get your damage resistance high enough so that you have all the time in the world to hit the monsters, or level up your attack chance so you'd need less time to kill monsters.

Oh, and if you're planning on starting a new build, I'd advise you to either get Increased Fortitude (for long-term better build) or treasure hunter (for short term testing that requires less time to buffen your build). Nyktos gave advise about treasure hunter, and yes, it does move you along much faster along the game, but In my opinion, the first skill point on a serious build should still always go to increased fortitude.

[Pyrizzle]

I agree with Wyrmspawn about getting Increased fortitude right off the bat. It frees up level bonuses up to be used on AC, AD, and BC (depending on your build)

One thing to add about DR builds, even though the NPCs may not be able to hit you (DR > Damage) they can still inflict some seriously brutal status effects.
