I have no luxury to accept death, I'm attempting to top Nemesis ladder.

[Descan]

I'm just playing Nemesis so I can learn the game.

No, really. I learn better when I'm under stress like that.

Those fucking exploding squid caught me off guard, though. Nearly died to them, went into the red-character-glow type thingy. Like 40 out of 260 health.

Your light radius in dark areas is linked to your current health, btw. Theres a minimum, and also theres a new passive from release which links it to your ES instead.

Huh. That's a cool little something.

[Descan]

Is there a command to stop your character in her tracks? Sometimes I misclick and she goes running off into danger.

Hold down shift. (or whatever yo rebound that too)

[Descan]

How can I rebind it if the command isn't in the binding options menu?

[Aklyon]

Well I haven't looked for it, so I didn't know if you could rebind it or not. I just know that making you stop is shift.

[Karkov]

Is it just me, or does currency seem to drop more when you're soloing than when you're playing with a party?  It seems to be much more lucrative to solo than when I play with my friend.  We went to merciless and I hadn't seen more than 2 Alchemy orbs drop the entire time we played together.  I get to soloing eventually (his character couldn't help me DPS anymore so we basically hit a brick wall) and suddenly I get 2 Alchemy orb drops, 3 Chaos, a Blessed, and an assortment of Blacksmith Whetstones and Armorer's Scraps.  What sorcery is this?

EDIT: If I remember correctly (I probably don't), you can't rebind shift to anything else.  I'm not so sure about that anymore, but it sounds like one of those things that's stuck forever.  If you did somehow rebind it to something else though, you could always put back in Defaults and get shift back to working like shift, and then rebind everything else to your liking.  All depends on how much you really don't want to run into the enemies.

[Descan]

Yea, hitting shift on it's own doesn't do it, I also have to click so my guy will attack. I just want a key that'll cancel my movement.

On another note, Necrotank is viable! Especially with ancient guardian, put some useless rares on him and get some life-regen of some kind and he's a beast. I named him James.

'Course, that's with my new friend. I need a solo fucktastic build... Someone give me an idea of something really stupid I can try out~

[Karkov]

Shift doesn't stop you from moving, it makes it to where you stand still to use a skill.  I'm not actually sure if there IS a thing to stop you from running around like a ninny half of the time.  Just clicking the other way might do it.

Fun builds?  Dunno, fun builds seem to get me stuck on Cruel half of the time.  Useful builds are stacking all the life-ups and regens though.  You go from being scared of everything to dashing around under Brutus' feet on Merciless.

[Descan]

I'm playing on Hardcore. As soon as I die, I re-roll.

I don't -care- about making them viable, I just wanna try stuff out~ With that massive skill tree and the active skill gems, it's so fucking flexible that I can't HELP but want to play around with it this way.

[Karkov]

Fun builds always tend to die, it's the "stack health and armor" builds that usually end up living late game.  But if you're into !!FUN!! anyway, I can suggest a few builds I guess.

Any Dex based build:  Dodging is cool and all because it makes you miss taking damage.  They're fun, green gems are usually the most interesting anyway (cyclone, viper strike, double strike, all the projectile stuff).

Intelligence builds:  Can do summons or elemental damage stacking.  Using Rain of Fire (or whatever it's named) is really awesome, especially when you crit.  When you crit with that, every instance of damage you do (each fireball that drops on their head) will make the lovely crit sound effect and do the screen shake.  Immensely satisfying.  Stacking ES makes you kind of tanky, it's like adding health without actually adding health!

Strength builds:   Not as fun, much more durable though.  To me, they have the most late-game potential.

!!FUN!!:  Anything with that Chaos Indoctrination (1 health, resistance to Chaos Damage), and possibly something that feeds all of your energy shield into your mana.  Throw them both in the same build and you're probably a masochist or looking for getting the most amount of deaths ever.

Chaos Inoculation + Eldritch Battery + Blood Magic

No health, no skills, no anything. Better up that evade and dodge.
