Re: Missile weapons skill giving dex

Why is it so? We've already had it clarified to us that dex only affects melee hit rating and defensive stats. It has absolutely no influence on missile weapon damage, and while some extra survivability is always nice, archers will most likely find themselves in the rear row, taking less hits than ...

Re: [Spoilers] Last level not fun.

Best part of the last battle was
SpoilerShow
getting the cube to crushify a bunch of the other monsters on the level as it chased me around.
That totally makes the fight - which otherwise I found unpleasant - fun.

Re: Man I am so FULL I cannot walk [SUGGESTION]

So... before this topic goes nuclear...I decided to ditch all the fire, lightning and whatever bombs. This stuff weighs a ton, and I never liked it anyway ;) So I'm light as a feather now, gliding over the pits :lol: PSY I'd keep the frost and lightning bombs. Lightning bombs are useful, er, very l...

Re: Do you have general combat tips to share?

The most generally applicable tactic is this: don't let enemies attack you. Take whatever steps you have available to make sure that you can damage them and they cannot even attack you back. Maneuvering around their sides, slamming a door in their face, just killing from range, do whatever you have ...

Re: Character Development

The stat increases for most weapon skills are pretty minor. They are not the meat of the build - the benefits of the raw skill itself are what make you want the skill. While it would be nice to see weapon-relevant stat increases on the different weapons, the lack does not break the different weapon ...

Re: Is Seeker of Secrets actually obtainable?

Can somebody confirm for me - I saved a the golden key from the first treasury to get an extra prize from the second treasury. Does this mean I am stuck at 70/71?

If so, oh well, that's life for you.

Re: Ultimate party make up?

Somehow it seems atm that noone know a perfect setup. It will take probably a while to figure it out anyway. I doubt it. There are enough personal reasons to like or dislike mages, ranged weapon users, and melee fighters to make sure that any "perfect" setup is only perfect for people who...

Re: Do you have general combat tips to share?

I have to say, even though I've played tons of these block-style dungeon crawl games, it has always (and still does) felt like cheating to do the move and strike their side thing. Backpedaling and using ranged weapons on a slow enemy is one thing, but the tactics described above really feels like y...

Re: So frustrated with the level 6 timed pit puzzle

Position your mouse pointer in the center of the screen where the buttons are, and do not move it from that spot. That half second you save hitting the buttons makes all the difference. Also, make sure you don't change facing until you actually need to press a button. Changing your facing when you ...

Re: Surprised by the young.

To be honest I would believe anyone that is into strategy or turn based combat (yes grim is not turn based but its is fairly close) Oh yes, realtime combat is fairly close to turnbased combat. :roll: Yes, real time combat as implemented in LoG is in fact fairly close to turn based combat. Enemy mov...
