Man, servers went down just as I was getting to Piety. Seriously, just dropped my portal, getting ready to go in after taking an hour and a half roughly to get there from the last waypoint. It has been the story of these last couple days.

just started killing act 2 boss on my remake, down to half hp and all of a sudden my guy wont stop attacking him and I die. When I tried to use my portal to get back in I get kicked from the server because "Instance does not belong to the owner."

WTF???????????????????????

Now I have to clear all 15 or so of those ****ing stair levels just to get back.

Been getting kicked periodically today. Was in the Brutus dungeon and just got kicked. Foresee me doing it all over again with a different style room. Awesome.

[Setsuna]

Back into the Prison. Got booted AGAIN. Done for now.

Almost level 50.

My guy is panning out alright, I still need more survivability and in the middle of Act 2, cruel.

2h mace, I use ground slam and heavy strike mostly. I need better gear with linked sockets. I have ground slam linked to added fire damage and thats pretty awesome and heavy strike linked to +melee damage. It's pretty clear that this game is all about them linked sockets, it's pretty awesome.

You can make a character really good by making/upgrading a quality full set of equipment.

ya, I just refuse to spend any of my orbs until I feel like I absolutely need to. Like if I'm dying or too much. I'm sure some of these harder to find orbs will be more common in the next level, but I don't like wasting shit.

That skill tree is insane.

Despite that skill tree, do players, in practice, end up with very similar builds? I mean, are there agreed upon "best" builds that most people choose, or have they done a good job of balancing?

builds are pretty diverse. there are strategies to keep in mind but a player can do whatever they want regardless of where (determined by class) they start. the one thing that most builds have in common is that they focus on defensive/life/resist skills and supplement that with a few offensive points. Dabbling in multiple offensive areas doesn't work well. players need to decide on a path and commit to it to be effective.

the builds can be altered later with re-spec points. So if you make a minor mistake you can subtract points that have been allocated to nodes and put them elsewhere.

there are definitely best skills for each class. Right now I'm pretty sure all Marauders are going for the same things for the most part. I watched some builds of the week on youtube and there are some cool things you can do that I never would have thought of. It's still early as most players are in mid game probably.
