[QUOTE=Persecution;37887099]Why do people follow "Character builds?"Why not just follow your heart and play the game, experience things and learn from the experience.[/QUOTE] i dont, i make random builds based on what i want to do. i look at what i mainly want to do(in this case auto attacks mainly) and use the skill build to remind me what skills i should be getting, because im a forgetful fuck.

So my shared stash just wiped, again. Not too fucking pleased, fool me once shared stash shame on you, fool me twice shared stash shame on Runic. Again nothing outstanding lost but I really don't want to have my stash disappearing up it's own arsehole every couple of days. And on topic of builds I'm gonna do a near full Aegis engineer with a ton of AoE monstrous abilities and stuff. Should be pretty fun.

I'm tempted to do a sword and board engineer, since my main character at the moment is a two hander engineer.

[QUOTE=Skidd;37887120]Because then your character will be worth jack shit later on and you'll just have wasted a ton of time on it.[/QUOTE] I don't follow character builds because I'm able to formulate what I need on the fly based on what things do It seems to work okay

is shadowshot worth putting points into? [editline]4th October 2012[/editline] or should i save for chaos burst

[QUOTE=Skidd;37887120]Because then your character will be worth jack shit later on and you'll just have wasted a ton of time on it.[/QUOTE] Is it really time wasted if you had fun playing the game?

For a solo shield + sword/mace based character, is it better to be a Berserker or an Engineer ? If so which trees should you go into ?

is it possible to equip two shields at the same time?

[QUOTE=Lilman1101;37906720]For a solo shield + sword/mace based character, is it better to be a Berserker or an Engineer ? If so which trees should you go into ?[/QUOTE] well, if you're just going by the skill tree, the engineer has sword + shield skills...

[QUOTE=Coffee;37906785]is it possible to equip two shields at the same time?[/QUOTE] Just wait for mod tools, it'll sure be possible to, then.

[QUOTE=Lilman1101;37906720]For a solo shield + sword/mace based character, is it better to be a Berserker or an Engineer ? If so which trees should you go into ?[/QUOTE] Berserker has an ability which gives you health if you crit. Engineer has a healbot. I'm currently a sword and shield engineer tank on elite hardcore and it's awesome, I recommend it.

Found a really simple but cool mod that changes the text to Diablo style font [url]http://www.runicgamesfansite.com/vbdownloads.php?do=download&fileid=30[/url]

[QUOTE=Pernoccuous;37905716]is shadowshot worth putting points into? [editline]4th October 2012[/editline] or should i save for chaos burst[/QUOTE] people seem to like chaos burst over shadow shot, but whatever floats your boat. i personally prefer shadow shot due to it doing % of my weapon DPS and all shards can hit 1 target for more damage(unlike glaive).

Where should I put my stat points for a Sword n Board Engi?

Can someone give me a clue as to what I'm supposed to do. I killed a phasebeast. Then went through the portal. Killed these necromancers Or similar. Then spider nests pop up. But they never stop spawning. Am I supposed to do something?

Yeah. But dragging them around away from the cauldron to grab the poison worked. I was just being really dim for a minute or two before I realised right after I posted.

I just got a 334MB update, any words on a changelog?

[B]*Glaive Throw has had a damage nerf (25% reduction in max damage and decreased growth per rank ) with less additional bounces per tier[/B] Now you won't feel so powerful.

Welp, so much for glaive rape.

Can't say I'm surprised at the glave nerf, sometimes they'd fly in from off screen and kill three things I hadn't even touched yet when I play with people who're outlanders.
