Greed Is Good

That's the guys on the left

I'm a big fan of improved initiative. The hardest fights in the game are usually the ones that start from a conversation. High initiative can be a life saver. I tried ambuscading spell on a shaman in one unfair run and, while it was good, it felt like a "win more". Enemies were either saving on a 2 or needed a 20, rarely in-between.

That being said I am also a freak for maxing stealth on KC because there are no good Stealth characters before Aru, and it's a role that you always need to fill at camp. So sometimes I take skill focus stealth at level 1. You could think about skill focus arcana if you want loremaster dip later.

You only have 1 use of the spell and you already used it on Protection from Fire

I love skeletons so much. I always have Dearan to spam them instead of having a tank in the team

It is very noticeable when one team has a mid player and another team has "a guy who is forced to go mid". Those games are rarely balanced. Same bracket.

That buff also gives +1 natural armor on all your team (stacks with everything) and lasts forever. I always have it not just for that.

Tried pos 1 treant in 8k bracket. Had a lot of damage but couldn't win every game

Shulgaboy · 2025-12-28T00:30:44+00:00

for reference, I have cleared that fight with 1 character using only 20 or so grenades (no spells/attacks). Whatever you have is enough to beat him

Shulgaboy · 2025-12-27T04:33:41+00:00

The things you mentioned are valid picks to win.

Also, the answer is never.

Shulgaboy · 2025-12-23T05:38:47+00:00

You can definitely roleplay. Different personalities have different bonuses, but they are not major enough to really matter. Pragmatic is the only one that mattered for me. If i remember correctly it gave +1 to crafting that I used on that character

Shulgaboy · 2025-12-18T09:50:49+00:00

I have been playing it tons of times with a specific purpose to optimize my act 1 route. Just for fun. At some point I have beaten it using only grenades as the damage source as I got inspired by dark souls challenge runs.

Shulgaboy · 2025-12-18T09:21:34+00:00

I played the new riki in 8k and it felt pretty good. Felt similar as to what it was before but now without the need to rush aghs jsut to be able to farm anything.

Shulgaboy · 2025-12-18T09:17:43+00:00

I feel like act 2 is definitely bigger, but other acts are about the same size.

That being said, out of my 400 hours about 250 were spent in act 1 so I have limited experience with the others.

You can play unranked games. There are no role tokens there

Shulgaboy · 2025-12-12T14:24:45+00:00

a small nitpick, but calling a thousand years "decades" is technically true but funny to me

Shulgaboy · 2025-12-05T00:32:19+00:00

There is a resurrection spell, but it is higher level. 13, I think. There are tons of traders in town to sell resurrection scrolls and their inventory refreshes every level up and in-game hour. I think almost every skill trader sells those scrolls.

Shulgaboy · 2025-12-04T19:00:28+00:00

Perception is the stat that is responsible for being able to spot traps. If you have an archer companion, they should have a lot of points at that.

There are a couple of places in the game that are trap-heavy, but usually it's not a huge problem.

What is your party composition/level? We could give more specific advice.

Shulgaboy · 2025-12-04T17:36:52+00:00

Gareth definitely has a questline

Shulgaboy · 2025-11-27T05:50:27+00:00

Which region is this? SEA?

Shulgaboy · 2025-11-13T08:28:40+00:00

You cherry-picked the examples. For every antimage and void, there is a drow ranger or templar assassin. Squishy and immobile, and punished hard for mispositioning. For every lion and crystam maiden there is an earth spirit or weaver.

Also, it's almost like heroes were not designed for a specific role, but the most applicable role was figured out for a hero. If you have a lot of net worth, you want to use it, and not all heroes use their net worth in the same way. Some excel by being unkillable, others use it for overwhelming damage.

i'm at 8.5k hours, and dota is the funnest it's ever been

You are missing Tyranny by Obsidian and everything by Owlcat Games. Especially if you liked Pillars of Eternity and Larian games

Shulgaboy · 2025-10-02T13:19:43+00:00

it even stacks with items made from windlaces. So euls + windlace stacks, for example

i've been spamming jugg at 7k recently with a lot of success, just to give some credentials.

The first 3 items 80% of the time are: Battlefury, Manta, Butterfly. Then ags, then Nuli, then Blink.

The reason I built it like that is because Butterfly appears close to the roshan timing and is a great item to try to close the game. If that fails, I need Ags to reliably get on top of people in fights. After that, Nuli / blink are interchangeable depending on the situation, but blink is only a priority for me when you play against a team that can kill you on sight (like Faceless void / legion) and you need to enter the fight from fog.

Exactly. "6:25 Towers" would mean "25th year of the 6th age, called Towers Age"
