Easiest Char I ever played. Spirit of Blizzard.

[benigno]

Hi,
Really, absolutelly recomend this to people that never get to level any char. This levels on its own and really fast if you are a bit careful and REMEMBER to turn ON and OFF your automatic ability.

Here goes the char dump. I have tried to leave the char as open as possible as I do not know the posible evolves (never leveled this far to be sincere), so I didnt want to restrict to an element or a particular spell...

This char has worked pretty nicelly until now... Now its not cutting through so easily, but avg damage of just the automatic area spell is about 600.000. And the abilities go for about 300.000 and spells... well depending on power, but quite nice.

Question is, I have about 8 ability points to use.. which I am still trying to decide where to put on, I clearly think i need them somewhere, but at the same time, I want to keep it as open as possible just in case I meet an interesting evolve.

All suggestions wellcome.

Yeah Spirit of the Blizzard is fun plus you have 20 paragon points so you have the potential to make yourself harder to kill. Thats pretty good. Btw you can just sell all those levelables. They will always be useless to you. And your main essense should be the Vengeful Orc I believe as that is the one that deals the most base damage. Though I wonder at the advisability of wearing it in the first place as I am sure it attracts nightmares some of whom may be more than you can handle. If I were you Id put the ability points towards another level of paragon. But the question is how did you get 29 ability points at level 28? never mind I see it was just a typo on your part. your dump says you have 7 points remaining not 8.

If I'm remembering correctly, there's one more evolution for the Greater Spirit of Blizzard (well, along the ice path at least) -- the Essence of something-or-other. Naturally, you can evolve into the other (non-Ice) 'E' type monsters as well, and there's several deeper ones that's pretty violent, as such things go. Some really nasty stuff will open up if you make it to level 40. (I've never done that without cheating, myself -- the XP requirements start getting rediculous in the 30s, imo. I get bored scumming for experience...)

It depends on a few things, I guess... you can't really go wrong with more points into Paragon. If you're using essence activations (Methinks not, or at least not much, as you're not wearing many dungeon bosses, who generally have hands-down the best activations.), then improved activations are naturally nice. For your particular character, I might suggest Improved Defense, as your defensive skills (Defense, Agility, M.Defense) strike me as very low for your level. You'll start running into things that can probably chew through your character in one turn around depth 40, 45, probably earlier, and your damage is already pretty close to being able to handle that depth, in my experience.

I do see you chose Cold as your element -- that's good, as the Blizzard's passive field doesn't actually seem to do Ice typed damaages. You might want to toss some more points into Inner Elemental mastery, so as to be able to make cold-immunes weak to your field -- I'd think you'd be having a tough time getting it to stick by this point. 'Course, if you're using normal casting for different typed damages, that's probably not that big of a deal.

As Gando mentioned, you probably want to put something else in your A (Main Essence) slot. I'd probably recommend Gorath over the Vengeful Orc though -- nightmare critters as just nasty, even the 'weaker' ones. In either case, you should notice a pretty massive jump in your spell damages upon doing so.

You'll probably want to keep an eye out for upgrading your essence selection -- the caster monsters tend to have good int/wis boosts, but not much in other areas. You can use non-casters with high tweak points to match or surpass what the caster-types are giving you, while still boosting up your Con and such. I had some good luck with 'Z' (hounds) when they started showing up, myself. Just be careful about elemental weaknesses and such.

Anyway, that's all I got. Hope it helps out, someway or another.

Definitely put Vengeful Orc as your main essence, it will enhance your spells a lot more. Don't worry too much about the misfortune level, it's only 10, so you'll just meet more vengeful orcs and nightmare scouts(do be careful about scouts though, they're really annoying).

Paragon is nice, but keep in mind that Greater Evolution gives higher stats bonus to strength, dex, int and wis(not Con however). Consider that, especially since you already have 20 points in it. Also, Inner Elemental Mastery will make a nice difference, AND give you something to pierce cold immunity.

[Gando]

Some really nasty stuff will open up if you make it to level 40. (I've never done that without cheating, myself -- the XP requirements start getting rediculous in the 30s, imo. I get bored scumming for experience...)

As far as I can tell making it to level 40 is impossible with the current payout of xp of monsters. heck surviving on level 22 of the flow is impossible too. not to mention the bosses of that. There are alot of impossible goals in Port right now. Its making me a little sick to be honest.

[Variaz]

heck surviving on level 22 of the flow is impossible too. not to mention the bosses of that.

I wonder what character you're playing... I have no problems with level 22 of the Flow. I did have levelables though. Managed to make it to about 40 then beat the boss(which was quite tough though, as posted in the other thread).

There are alot of impossible goals in Port right now.

The only things I can think of is beating any nightmares that are unlocked at misfortune 60+. That and completing the Flow of a mithril item is probably too hard right now.

However, not all characters have the same difficulty level. And sometimes, it requires better items and perhaps a higher level. But just because you had bad luck with one character doesn't mean it's impossible.

Thanks a lot both recommendations are Great,

- The vengefull orc really makes a difference at main essence. I didnt know it affected spells too...
- The points at Inner elemental mastery does make a HUGE difference too. I have put the 7 of them (yes it was a typo) and now the normal passive does about 1.300.000 damage to non resistant mobs.

- Whats that defense thing you were talking about? whats that Improved Defense ? And activations for defense ? I dont quite follow sorry.
