Favourite non- Tier 1 combinations?

What are the recommended gods for the Gnome version? JJ? With probably NC?
Or is it better off as a MA worshiper?

[Darvin]

Definitely go JJ with the Gnome version. Assassins greatly appreciate the free WEYTWUT and boost health; adding Gnome and his synergy with boost mana to the mix makes it a perfect match. Mystera is the only other deity in contention. Naga Cauldron would be a fine item, although elven boots would also be nice since it lets you hit the 18 mana threshold early (+3 boots, +3 JJ, and +2 pick-ups) and puts you in contention for the very desirable 25 mana threshold.

I see, thanks Darvin!

Just remembered another weird combo: Halfling Wizard of EM. Vineform is the number one health upgrade boon if you want to consume health potions. Doesn't decrease your potion count, nor does the deity punish you for quaffing one. And while it's easier reaching high amounts of health via JJ, if you take numerous hits the DRs will act like extra health too.
No matter what boss you face between Clearences and health potions you have an answer for that.

Healthmonster of Earthmother is one of my favorite janky-but-good combos. Dwarven Paladin, prep Earthmother and Fireheart. It's not as good as the Glowing Guardian version because you don't have the Protection Boon, but 15-20 stacks of Vineform help compensate. It's strictly better as a human, but then you're not playing a proper healthmonster anymore.

I cannot wait for you all to get hold of the way preps work in the dailies. You'll die of decision paralysis before you can choose what to take in

[Astral]

If I interpreted the preview pictures right, then you'll get to take a row of 3 preps. Which could mean prepping 2 gods simultaneously and many other cool combos as well.

Not a day passes without me looking for the update. I'm really hyped about dailies.

Yeah, I don't think there's a single one of us on these boards that isn't excited about the dailies. The prep system in particular is something I've been wondering about, so I'm glad to hear that it's getting special treatment for the daily.

OK, finally cracked Slime Pits with an Elf Assassin. Mystera and Avatar's Codex because I didn't want to do it with GG, JJ or Orcs like I did all of the Beta.
