It is hillarious that playing as banker made the game akin to an
economy simulator.. Calculating the return on purchasing energy and the net win in chips from fights.
The Paragon talents Recknoning + Noxious impurity allows me to hit seraphins for 500million+
with just 15million damage on the stat page. Maybe not as efficient to farm with but very
nice. I achieved 100% blockchance by using a nice upgraded shield and a claw.
Got wardsigns skill by now too in the paragon tree to attack more.
Getting 7.5% stamina shoes and then doubling the value to 15%+ was the biggest
gain I had from a single item.
I got no uniques so far.
Poison shield is so far my most favorite paragon build and status effect.
Have played around with fire HP based fire damage before which was very good but
can't compare.
Reckoning with Noxious impurity is nice, the poison just stacks and stacks
and stacks. I get up to 50 poison ticks and more on enemies. Block gives
nice defense as well.
Got a 10% block claw and 48% block shield with 14% block value shoulders.
15% stamin reg shoes, 10% chance to poison gloves. The shoes are my best item
so far they were 7% baseline.
For burn I had two 10% items, gloves and an amulet, yellow focussed items with good rolls are usually better than even red ones. Nearly 50% strength helmets and 70% duration are interesting. I don't know how the stats scale later.
Mark of the woods is a very interesting paragon talent, underestimated stamina reg allot.
I got two decent builds I ran so far
The first was simple Collosus Grip and Hammerfall with 2h you either one or two hit enemies or you die. (I awaken just drop rate maybe crit)
The other is Emberlord, Giantblood, Immolation(optional) paragon build with a shield with 40%+ blockrate(crafting bonus) 15%+10% chance to inflict burn from the frist skill.
Enemies just explode, very good for farming elites. (I awaken drop rate, armor and evasion for this)
Tier 3: Still pretty early but in hindsight I got the priority down now and which ones I like. Warmaster is handsdown the single biggest boon in the entire tier for the op buffs. Second best is probably the archmage because he adds another nice stacking dmg buff to the mix, followed by bloodmage who I only unlock for the ability to relieably drop my HP below 30% to benefit from the class passive and the berserker 40% ability, that his dmg abillity scales enormously with int is great too.
The most solid package standalone is the dragonlancer in my opinion, solid start of turn heal without self sabotage and the heal two for on shield combo.
Maybe when I get out of the early lineup I will be able to properly utilize a dedicated healer. The psion on perma wall to block enemy aoe damage seems like fun for example.
Tier II: Blademasters Trance plus the class trait of the alchemist got some nice synergy, ~30% chance for more than double damage.
Pyromancers Scorching Armor with Hunters Mark and physical attacks work wonders too if they are chained properly. I give the debuffer strength gear and chain manafree attack at the end.
All my chars got shield block HP>50% and no shield followed by lesser heal at HP<30%. For one dedicated healer to pick up them up to 50%+.
So far only Tier 2, I use squires slash for the most part because I can't properly manage mana in higher stages. At lower stages the rogue default skill shredds faster through.
I haven't found a way to use AOE mana efficient at my progress level.
Deep mining for stones is way less effective than the gatherer camps. The diplomat in the embassy really cheeses the game, just befriend and let one AI become your bulkwark. Sawmills get you more planks for less woods and when you get the wood under control switch to deep mining coal for fuel longterm. 100% tax rate is worth the happyness tradeoff you swim in money and can just spam the trader then buy lightarmors to steamroll the NPC with light cavalry.
I found a strange quirk it seems that each Time you accept a bad deal the new Offerings will become worse but each Time you accept a good one. It seems to stack so always buy below average and you safe alot of money in the long run.
