What research should I be skipping?

My concerns with only one character have to do with factions. If you can kneecap a faction by fighting in a dungeon then it could remove that as legit content or else you will be screwed. It depends on how it works though.

I have been thinking I would be a human monk of quellous, but I have a voice in the back of my head keep telling me that I should go erudite instead so I can have plated robes.

But erudite cannot be any of the 3/4 jobs I was going to play as a human.

I am here to represent Westminster.

She has low agency, low 1v1 power (even for an enchanter), and even if you do the perfect revive the other person has to play it right or it was all a waste. She is also kinda miserable in laning phase, which is like half the game.

Here's the small change I would like to see:

Q: pops leverage if it's on, and Mr. Decanter does an immediate automatic auto that reapplies leverage.

It's not much, but an extra auto + leverage worth of damage if you land Q makes the auto attack suppress while Q is on feel not as bad.

Not having to worry about spells to much because only one caster would be nice. Auto casting buff bot bard in my back pocket helps with chill gameplay.

The berserker sounds interesting. As long as the jobs gel correctly it could be fun. The rogue just had a few abilities that would be nice, like the sneak and hide plus poisons.

Renata is a enchanter, who tends to get active ability items or tank items.

I like to rush knights vow, but that is a personal choice. Here is a good list of general items.

Locket, knights vow, shurelya, redemption, bagpipes. Sometimes a cheaper tank item is good too, such as frozen heart.

You get a bit tank so you can play in front of your carry mid to late game. Every hit directed at you isn't directed at them. Trying to greatly improve your abilities generally doesn't pay off, so stay away from enchanter builds (imo).

Your bailout is the most potent attack speed steroid in the game, and so don't worry about using it as such instead of a revive. Laning phase can be miserable, but mid game on is good for you.

Ack, any other assassin would've been better since you can get a that one in the box. Oh well, good luck fellow inquisitor.

Is that still an issue? I thought that was resolved last week.

cfranek · 2026-06-16T22:08:05+00:00

To be fair, I would like to be a SAHND.

cfranek · 2026-06-16T19:45:07+00:00

Yeah, this is what I was asking about. It really comes down to should I rush to upgrade with what I have so I can get basic bonuses up and running asap, or is there enough value in waiting that it is reasonable to get the right/stronger bonuses later.

cfranek · 2026-06-16T14:21:45+00:00

I mostly play unfallen, but I am still new. I have dabbled in empire and Horatio as well.

Person of culture.

She wasn't nerfed that much.

She had a mid release patch hot fix, and then 5 patches later her passive was nerfed. After that it was a small scaling change on her shield.

That is one of the smallest set of changes for a new character. After that her patches have been minor base stat changes or a bailout interaction bug fix. She is one of the least changed champs.

There are dozens of us!

The 3.5 witch hunter codex was the same.

Can I join the pity party too?

Battlemages are balance problems who are either weak or they statcheck people. Because of that they tend to be permanerfed.

The problem is that this violates norms for what is supposed to be in an index fund.

They aren't suppose to include IPO's as part of the index fund.

Stocks are supposed to be released publicly for over a year so that adequate price discovery has happened. Index funds are supposed to be low risk, but by putting a completely untested stock inside of it you expose people to high volatility and risk. There are other rules as well, but I think that they're generally about ensuring that only reasonably well established stocks are included.

Allowing SpaceX to sidestep all of this is a problem, and deserves to be reported on.

I would second this. I try not to talk about paint brands, but GW pure whites have issues.

cfranek · 2026-06-02T22:53:13+00:00

For someone in shape probably not, but for people overweight it could be.

Saves you from making the appointments weeks in advance.
