I think at 39 levels in, I had about 1/5th of the skill tree done on my main job, and 1/20th of the skill tree done on my 2nd job. For all the character build options, you have so few skills points, especially for dual-jobs, that the game really limits how much of the character's skills you can use at one time. I thought playing on Veteran with better drops there'd be some decent loot, but in my experience the loot drops were dozens and dozens of the same damn item over and over. For most of the game I'd never get a single piece of useful loot. Even armor, I'd get a noticeably better piece of armor about once every 2-5 hours. I'd only get a cool new weapon upgrade about once every 5 hours, so I'd be using the same weapon for 5 hours straight. Honestly, I think the loot isn't very good in this game, which makes me sad. +Big ass map and tons of them, lots of secrets +Decent amount of quests could be more, but it's not bad Armor sets all look pretty dull is the only downside. +Nice looking world/game from an art design perspective. +Cheap respec is really nice since there's so many options and lets you change up your playstyle until you find one you like So many options, tons of varieties even within a single class, let alone within a dual-job class + constellation options. Died a bunch, but the personal riftgate system made it not really frustrating, and it was way more satisfying getting through boss heros or boss fights on veteran. But Veteran solo play is a good challenge for the first time through. Can definitely see the game being much longer if you explore every map out since there's a ton of them and they're huge. All quests done that I could find, but I didn't go out of my way to explore at all. and after 3 nights of playing, I just beat the game on Veteran with my build, lvl.38 at the final boss, ~19 hours. So that + the easy respec for the most part means it's fun constantly messing with your character and trying new build ideas. but the character build options are amazing and there's 8,000 ways you can make a unique character. Uh, my impressions of the game at this point are that the combat is alright, the loot is just ok, the story/quests are forgettable, the level design is huge areas and lots of mazes and easy to get lost on quests, also leveling is slow. But I'm stuck with Shaman+Nightblade so I gotta figure out what my best options are at the my moment. Or maybe a shaman + warrior would've helped VIT/DEF and surviving. I think since I'm so lightning based, a shaman + mage would have been better. I wish the respec would let you respec your subjob. In retrospect with this build, I shouldn't have picked Nightblade for the subjob. Also being 2H melee focused it's rare that I ever get a great new weapon drop. Just hit lvl.31 and some of the boss heros are like lvl.34 in Blood Forest. Especially ones that use any kind of magic/poison/elements.Īny advice on what I can do to survive more on veteran? I'm also underleveled since I go pretty fast. But strong boss heros basically 1 shot me and kill me faster than I can heal. The only points I've put into Nightblade are for the HP heal/regen one that increases casting speed. I also use Wendingo totems for life supports and Storm Wendingos for damage while doing that. I'm doing a lightning centered build focusing on primal strike and its torrent extension while having a pet and smashing things with 2H melee. Starting around mid-Act 3 my Trickster (Shaman + Nightblade) is having SEVERE survivability issues on boss heros. Kind of just want to finish the game once and call it a day to break the addiction lol. I don't even love the game, just think its ok but I've put like 13 hours in over two nights and am nearing the end of Act 3 on Veteran. Ok, so I'm more addicted to this game than I've ever been to any game in my life.
