Well, anyway, my point was badly worded as usual. The thing I wanted to get at is that nearly every Q here is a low-cooldown bread-and-butter skill, save for Ahri. In some cases, this is integral - Syndra without her Q would be pointless, because she needs those balls. Xerath without his Q would be pointless, it's his core poke and damage.  Most of the times, it works out. In other cases, it feels detached from the kit, though. Lissandra might be an example, since I can't really see how that Q interacts with her kit beyond doing stuff with her passive, so it feels a bit forced.
It's actually normal.
Riot officially said that they were putting the "calssic nuke" of most champs on their Q. This is usually the signature skill of champs. It let players learn how chamsp work pretty fast, as the Q of their new champ usually have the lowest cooldown, or is the "main" ability. As much as R is their ult.

Same here ! :D

I'm playing the demo a bit, and it's fun, but there is no way i can be on par with some of the huge bombers i see from time to time ! :D

by the way, why didn't see that game in any bundle ?
I mean, i'll not buy it $10, for sure (especially with the small player community), but in a random bundle, it would give it such a great boost ! :|

1414
Am I still an escaped lunatic ?

Nay, i'm not anymore, I can join ! :D

1415
scraps collected increase with the sectors :
you easily get 50 scraps per destroyed ship after sector 6 (even playing easy as I do).

It's a roguelike and they usually don't have demo.
It's a roguelike and they usually are free.

After 20 hours downloading the game, I'm finally here :D
Just begun a human Engineer, in Ehmry Bay.

So ... How to join the guild ?
You just need "TomPliss.9418", to request me as a member ?

Just played for the first time (thank you about that thread) :
I like it !

Combat is not that nice (statuses don't include light wounds and such, so there is nothing to tell you the standard length of a combat).
The bag system is sometime boring (having to wear pants to get what is in its pockets,...), but quite nice.

Flying Dice => no "HP ignorant" ?
I feel it's the best negative trait : it forces to be aware about what happens, and you still get to know where you are hurt (you don't have 78 HP in a arm and 54 to the other, but simply green and yellow)...
I feel it's how the game should be, all the time ! :D

Oh, please, don't put the tag for something and the name for something else (except a B12 tag), please please please please !

Flame (first spell) turns into a beam if leveled up to five. It's up to you to decide whether it's worth the additional points or not.
You mean it goes throught ennemies ?
Then I will definitly level this up !
(need confirmation on this, guys)


When playing a mage, it's always good to get LVL 3 manathrust, because when it gets to LVL 3, it becomes a beam. Arcane Blades don't get to use this skill though. ):
You mean the manathrust that I have as a rune ?
What do you mean by it being a beam ?
Anyway, I found 2 items (one very early, second dungeon or something), with a 0.1 mana regen. It's ridiculous but it helps, as it get improved my the manathrust second effect !

The noob is here again :

After my Bulwark died, I tried the arcane mage ... it was squishy for a dwarf !
I don't think I even finished the first quest, but tried a human alchemist after that.
It was fun, but not what I wanted from a mage typed class (died near lvl 10, because of those white orbs (or something) dealing massive damage... :(

So I decided to play an (elf) ARCANE blade, forgetting about the blade part.
I am doing great, with this one. I am now level 12 (first time I got that far).
I handled the first Elven quests (not the tower near the first town), the cursed one in the woodsmen town, the two dungeons near Norgos, a bunch of adventuring parties, the first human quest, the arena, and the "storming the city" event (the first part only). Now, i'm heading toward kor'pul.

I love that way of playing, getting some power from the 3 spell schools, being very squishy but with the shield rune, the healing spell, I handled the bosses, for now ...

dump :
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I usually use Lightning , to handle single target or straight lanes of ennemies, and Flame (which deal enormous damage for a lvl 1), both because of their low mana cost and cooldown.
Mudslide is very useful for the knockback (as most bosses I got were melee ones), and Flameshock, both for the area damage.
I just leveled, so now, i'm looking forward to use my new Inferno ^^

Any comment on this build ? :D

1423
well, i'll try when I buy the game, then ...

I think some Bay12ers are in europe and will want to join the bigger part of the community in the server in US, so keep the feedback coming. ;)

1424
Is there any lag problem (in the beta), playing from europe in a US server ?

I'm begining to play (played others roguelikes, mostly DCSS), with a "normal" human warrior (bulwark).
I am doing pretty good (remember playing 1 or 2 games long ago, and dying during the first quest), as I got through the whole first quest, killing the "bonus boss" without any problem : I focus on defence (using "Shield wall" and "precise strike" all time, and infusions for healing and reducing damage), and lure monsters around corners to fight 1v1 in melee.

I am now in some sort of necormancer's castle (read a journal entry about that), which is more difficult : I am getting some HP regen debuffs which nearly netralize my infusions, from traps, so I've got to play in a safe way...

Anyway, any advice ?

I am level 7, and building the character with strength first, then dexterity and constitution. Mostly because many skills have a strength requirement. and even that way, I have a hard time gathering loot, as i get encumbered very easily... Am I doing anything wrong ?

I read I can unlock other classes with achievments, but I don't see a list of undone achievments, so I guess I'll have to try everything ... or is there ?
(I mean, other than a wiki, spoiling the achievments)

I prefer to play in a small window (hey, i'm at work ! :D ), but the menus (and mostly the inventory and the leveling menu) doesn't fit a small window, even in ascii... Any way to reduce their font size, or anything like this ?


[EDIT]
err ... just died ...
Got encased in ice, and a shade finished me (didn't use every power I could...).
Those traps do some damage ... :(
