Mature Prismy

[surprise]

Finally got enough essenses to evolve into the mature prismatic dragon. He is incredibly strong, the only thing that gives him any sort of challenge are high levels of the flow. I carry 4 red essences, each of misfortune 10, and he has no problem killing the nightmares except for the restless dead, which takes some time to kill.

Probably going to try a normal race next.

Nice. Just don't expect 88M damages on a normal race at level 37. (then again, maybe it's possible with the right build)

And glad to see that you're still challenged by the Flow at that level and with that kind of damages! (it doesn't get easier in the next build, as Flow monsters starts getting special abilities) Just curious, how far did you make it in the Flow? What's the highest level you've played?

[surprise]

I am pretty comfortable at around level 83 right now, meaning i can kill every creature, even though many of them I kill from a distance with magic. I found that many of the monsters in the flow will not chase you, so if you position yourself in such a way that they cant see you but you can shoot balls to a place that hits them, killing is just a matter of making a macro and using enchanted blood a bunch of times. I do around 8m-12m damage with the dragon breath, and i've had to run through probably like 50000 mana to kill some of the mobs at this point. I also just discovered the ability to tweak items to give +life, so I might be more effective at close combat once I get an item that gives enough point to triple or quadruple my life, because most mobs will 2 hit me even at this point, and some mobs 1 hit me still if they get past the block/resistance.

The last essence boss I killed was level 107 i think.

[Variaz]

Hmmm... I thought it was only because of the Flow's "special" landscape that they were confused into not moving, though perhaps there's an actual bug here...

When you say level 83, and especially level 107, was it just the monster that was Level 107, or was it a depth 107 boss? There's no way a depth 107 monster should even be beatable for a level 37 character, even a prismy.

In other words, did it had stats like this:

DEPTH 107 FLOW BOSS(randomly generated stats, but the stats below are very representative)

Hp: 1080407676
Str: 2488
Dex: 2368
Mind: 2444
Attack: 220
Ranged: 182
Magic: 270
Defense: 270931
Hit rate: 2963617
Lives: 24

Melee attacks between 2863156 and 20040099 damages, missile spells of 3209724 damages?

Honestly, I doubt it. ;D

But I'll look into the AI bug. It's probably due to the "unique" landscape. Perhaps I'll change it to a more ordinary landscape. Besides, digging all the time does get a bit annoying after a while.

[surprise]

The monster level was 107. I think the last flow level that time was around 70.

Killed a lvl 147 flow boss, without taking a single hit (i would probably be 1 shotted though I do have like 6million life now), but I did use a non standard technique. The boss had like 25 lives with 2,000,000,000 life each i think.

[Variaz]

Err... how did you kill it? Because there's a serious balance issue here if that's the case. Unless, of course, you've been leveling since then and are now level 100 or something, but at level 37??

EDIT: On a side note, I found a bug in the monster generator that could be the cause of them not chasing you. Due to a typo in the code, this resulted in the monsters having a "vision" of 0, meaning they would never notice you!

[surprise]

I guess Ill divulge my secret:

I cast grow trees, so that the boss has no direct vision of me. Then I just pummel light blasts to kill him. I made macros, one to life blast, one to regain full mana with enchanted blood. Took like 5 minutes of macroing, but the boss died.


The trees is key. Otherwise he would shoot crap and i would die 1 hit.

Im currently level 43, playing around in normal dungeons on lvl 130-150. Kill most things, but die if im not careful. Found a couple of blue steel weapons , too bad I cant use. Also found a ridiculous red adam katana with dice 51d57. Misfortune lvl 190, so not too good to use, but still amazing dice.
