The new "metagame" - Perfect Profiles for Classes
Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2012 3:07 pm
Lujo taking what a few us had fiddled around with to the logical extreme has made me think. Why stop at making a "perfect" profile when you can make a "more perfect" profile for each individual class?
I'm primarily thinking about the monster classes, who all have slightly odd mechanics that don't work quite the way of the other classes. At a minimum, you certainly don't want GG as a Vampire or Gorgon!
So this is the thread where we try and figure out the perfect setup for a particular class. I'll start with one of the weaker classes - perhaps he isn't so weak with the perfect setup?
VAMPIRE
Unlock Warlord for CYDSTEPP (combined with using Dracul to lower max HP, this will allow you to beat Bleaty)
Unlock Paladin for HALPMEH
Unlock Bloodmage for BLUDPOWA and Vampiric Blade
Items - Vampiric Blade and Agnostic's Collar (for Naga City/Tower)
Pactmaker and Dracul are the obvious deities.
I think Taurog is the best choice for a third one. He gives a lot of piety for cleaning up low level undead. At 0% resists, his Shield is basically another 5 life steal and he also provides another option for Death Protection. If Pactmaker won't spawn, Binlor is a nice choice as well since the Vampire can ignore his desecration penalty.
As a bonus, one of my favorite classes
HALF-DRAGON
Unlock Paladin for HALPMEH
Unlock Bloodmage for BLUDPOWA and Piercing Wand (I think)
Items - Piercing Wand, Viper Ward, Soul Orb, Agnostic's Collar, Rock Heart
For deities, GG and Pactmaker are obvious. I'm not impressed with TT for this setup since (like the Vampire), Poison doesn't work so well. I think the third choice should be Binlor, since he provides more Knockback and also gives an option to lower magic resists.
I haven't decided if I should unlock Fireheart to go with Piercing Wand or not. I'm not completely sold on Piercing Wand (thanks to Binlor), but its magic resist lowering ability is very nice for the Half-Dragon. It would combine very well with Fireheart to take out a few of the more annoying bosses (Bleaty).
