haha, grats! :)

Did they improve later on with better gear?

Yeah, once you get high enough for elite gear and put on some 200+ armor boots your crane kick damage jumps tremendously and your dps becomes more reasonable.

Not first, but still a great feeling!

Now I'll try Mage, see if I can be first there ;-)

Grats yo. It's a challenging game, so it's no small feat.

Btw, did you run into any weird bug with exp to go on your stat sheet? I'm not even 100% sure what it says.

It says I have -460 xp till next level, that's about the only weirdness I see.

I made Sylvan Creep too strong! I knew it!

Post subject:  Re: The official season 1 firsts thread

hah, it's alright as it is with the way healing is right now. I still died a few times to some bosses just because I couldn't mitigate the damage done well enough.

The regens on the buffs is very insignificant.

I didn't change their chloroplast, thorns, or anything else yet.

I know, just saying - before you swing the nerf bat on it. hehe

Might be a good idea to look at all of the heals and make them scale by %. Makes sense for healing abilities since skills stop at L.50. Right now they don't scale well at all.

Sylvan Creep was a nice change, its really only for bosses given the long cooldown and they needed help with bosses.

Scaling healing with % would be awesome but it might be a nightmare to balance. Also, how would it scale with skill? The skill impact would have to be minimal, like it starts at ~25% heal and scales to low 30s?

I'd do something like:

Heal over Time:
Skill - Potency. Min Skill = 1%, Max Skill = 3%.
Talent - Frequency. Skill Level 1 = 3 Seconds, Skill Level 20 = 2 seconds.

So a maxed out skill with talent would regenerate 3% every 2 seconds. A min skill would regenerate 1% every 3 seconds. A max skill with no talents would regenerate 3% every 3 seconds.

Direct Heals:
Same logic could apply with Direct Heals.

Skill - Potency. Min Skill = 15%, Max Skill = 25%
Talent - Buff. Applies some kind of buff that lasts for less than the duration of the Direct Heal cooldown.

Just some random thoughts - totally the wrong forum for this though. :)

It's just that a 15% heal at high level is awesome, a 15% heal at low level is terrible. Thus it's sort of x^2 growth of usefulness. Makes heal pretty crap at low levels but I guess thats not entirely bad.

Better solution is probably a really simple one. Just change the skill maximums.

Author:  mukkel [ Wed Apr 29, 2015 4:45 am ]
Post subject:  Re: The official season 1 firsts thread

Well that might be a good solution - probably want to test it first to make sure things don't blow up :) Definitely though, if you're open to it / trying it.

Post subject:  Re: The official season 1 firsts thread

It would certainly create some flux, but it might be a good idea. I might have to buff mob HP a bit.

Now only Mage and Cleric haven't yet cleared Hell in softcore...
As a side note, I started first as Mage but at ActI Hell I hit a wall, every mob was a pain to kill, so I went Wizard and finished the game in less time it took my mage to finish Nightmare :shock:
Didn't use much gear from Mage either; Wiz has much more synergies going, and better lvl20 bonuses imho. Reduced cooldowns ftw!

Cleric is decent, so I think it's official, mage is the redheaded stepchild of nevergrind.
