Generic Advice on What Most Builds Wants
There are going to be exceptions to what I talk about, I’m going to be listing the overall rules.
Have a Defense Mechanic
A defense mechanic is strong simply because, with enough investment, it can prevent 90% of most damage:
- Armor is typically added to strength builds
- Block can typically be added to any build, but is generally harder to add
- Dodge is typically added to dex builds
But Only Have One Defense Mechanic
- In most builds, it’s hard to add a second mechanic to reduce damage.
- The reason why you don’t want to stack multiple ways, is simply because, there are things that bypass said mechanics.
- So once you have your first mechanic to reduce damage, if you want more survivability, that’s when you want to focus more so on max health, healing and resists.
- Most builds typically want to increase their health.
Build Around Synergy
- This game is all about having a lot of things interact with each other to boost your overall strength instead of just having one thing that is really good.
- You can have a entire build built around one thing, but that thing is typically built around having other things.
- A generic way of building around synergy in this game is, while not limited to, inflicting a type of damage.
- And then when that type of damage is inflicted, have something else that procs off of that type of damage.
Increase Speed
- The more speed you have, the more actions you get to take in a game turn.
- Something with 20 speed will act twice as fast as something with 10 speed.
- While 10 speed will act twice as fast with something with 5 speed.
- The standard way to increase speed is either by leveling up dexterity to increase the natural speed
- Or by leveling up a mixture of strength and dexterity to increase your minimum speed
Plan Around a Prestige Class
- Prestige classes can be viewed in the power menu.
- Prestige classes provide a lot of synergy to build on top of, and are generally just really strong when built with.
