The site also has a editable version (pulled straight from the game data, apparently) of the skilldrasil. So you have the theorycrafters in that list as well, and the people who just want to explore ways to go in the web.
Buy the pack with one of the Kiwis if you do though, Robin. They don't do much but its nice to have a little fluffy companion in the grimdark of Wraeclast.

For anyone interested, the City of Steam alpha starts in an hour.

Welp, this game is already too much fun. I only hope there's a somewhat reliable source of skill gems at some point, although I guess trading with other people would work. I could definitely see myself getting into the skill gem grinding business, especially since you could do it relatively easily while you're doing other things from what I can tell.

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

Yep, you just need enough sockets. All socketed gems gain xp.

Or you could make some other characters to make use of your gems ;)

as you play you get lots of gems, but beware leveling them up to much just for the sake of doing so, if you trade the gem to another character that doesnt have the stats to use the gem at that level, it is no use to that character at all.

I have a character who's entirely subsiting on randomly dropped gems, both from her and previous characters, because she never gets any strength gems from quest rewards.

I haven't played through a new toon since the latest patches, but a lot more good skill gems are available as quest rewards now. You should be able to get a nice array of options just from those.

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.

Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.

Oh, how does player-to-player trading work? Is there any sort of way to advertise what you have to trade or search what people have for trade/sale? Or is it basically just spamming global chat and asking?

Right now it's just spamming global chat and asking, since they haven't done the trading update yet.

Ok, that's what I figured. I didn't know there was a trading update planned, though, so that's good to look forward to. I do like being self sufficient, so it should work as-is for me regardless, but it felt like not having an easy way to trade in an obviously multiplayer game was a little odd.

Oh man, this game gets hard in the later difficulties. I have a armor+health/regen Marauder with 2 hand axes & Blood Magic, and I'm in the Merciless (Normal->Cruel->Ruthless->Merciless) difficulty. Sure I can use Heavy strike (my basic attack) to one-shot-kill the normal guys, but if I do that I get battered in a few seconds. The enemies just have so much damage that if they are in a group, I can't do jack to them. I think I need to get a party going on with some witch or someone who can deal AoE damage.
I also have a necromancer in Cruel difficulty, and it is quite difficult there too. The minions deal high damage, but they won't last long. If I get stunlocked, I get gibbed easily too.

So yeah, expect the game to punish you later on.

Hmm, I've got a Shadow that I'm building dual daggers/cold damage plus some energy shield/dodge (... eventually, since I'm only level 5 for now) and I've seen people mentioning similar setups that just get flattened. Oh well, if I have to change I'll change.

I had a build like that, and for a long time was very fragile. I haven't played it since the update, though, so I don't know if it's fragile again, but I can say that it is a very active class and needs lots of attention to stay alive.

Keep every orb of regret in your storage that you can , robin. They're rather useful if there isn't going to be a patch involving a skill point refund anytime soon, even if you aren't particularily going to do it right then.

I've only found one orb of regret so far, but yeah I planned to keep it. For the build I'm anticipating it being pretty fragile and I'm hoping I'll find either a Conversion Trap or Totem skill of some sort to help spread out the focus a bit. I've already found how annoying it can be to be swarmed and frozen and just die with no chance to do anything when I got to the ice spear guy guarding the medical kit. The first time I came across him he hit me with the ice before I could do anything and got frozen solid, then I got swarmed by water elemental things and just died. The second time I dodged around the ice chunks and froze HIM then just cut him to ribbons.

That's another question I had. Is there any death penalty if you're in the default league?
