Muscular widow is smashing the pretzel pony and honey jars!

Yup, it works! Good job CHz!

Colour, flavour, aluminium, etc etc etc...

Real talk though I am up for playing that shit again, especially given how infinitely amused Pang is by my awful two word submissions.

Tutti-frutti!superb.

Naw man, two-worders are the way to go. "You idiot" was a rousing success!

I EXPIRE

Looks like this dictionary file is just plaintext so I'll get to work on this business. It's not even possible to call yourself a meatatarian under the current regime, what is this.

Ouch, Fruit!

Let us not forget about Mr. Rascal Goat. He's still out there, somewhere.

THESE WERE THEIR QUESTS

Contact lens removal update: fingers still possess jalapeno essence.

So on Pang's recommendation I picked up Titanquest the other week and started playing it yesterday, turns out it's pretty awesome so thanks for that Pang!

Why were you getting rocked so hard, actually?

I restarted it yesterday because a) I thought the expansion was a seperate game, didn't realise you could play the main quest by loading it up and b) I made a few dubious choices character development-wise and a fresh start after a few hours at it often helps in games like this.

I'm not too far back in, just cleared all the Sparta quests but I'm going as a Lightning-wizard rather than a Warrior this time (Spells are more interesting) and planning on going for Nature as a secondary to have a pack of wolves involved. Actually not burning too many potions so far as with enough points dropped into ice shard it's a one-hit-kill on most monsters at this point in the game.

One thing I've noticed is that at low levels at least, you can never really generate enough health regeneration to avoid needing health potions. I got up to a health regen of around 200% as an experiment and it still crawls along. The amount of effort needed to get a decent health regen as a viable alternative seems to me a lot more effort than just keeping 30 health potions handy.

Of course this might all change at higher levels, especially using the health drain spell but even that has a pretty significant cool down period on it. My limited experience has suggested that killing things quickly is the best option for not getting hurt.

If you never want to use any potions, just go Defense/Nature. Enjoy never dying (and having an offensive efficiency slightly below that of a damp paper towel).

I can confirm that having a wolf running around distracting enemies while you pelt them with ice shards increases the survivability of a mage significantly. Getting swarmed by spiders can be an issue and I guess putting points into that slow-field skill nature has (i think) might help but the points would be better spent on offence at this point. It's slightly annoying you can't bind any skill you want on to the left mouse button as I only ever use normal attacks when I run out of energy which with the abundance of potions you get is essentially never. Having a different spell on the other button would be handy, specifically the area effect, stunning lightning spell. At the moment I use that as the right button on my alt-weapon set, switch to it to fire that then switch straight back once it's in the air. I don't know why but I find pressing "W" then right clicking on whatever I'm already shooting at easier than hitting a number key, then left clicking on whatever I'm shooting at. Silly really.
