So question for those at the cap level, how important is min maxing builds? I've recognised that my favourite class, Magic Archer, has mediocre stat growth and if I want to be powerful I'd need to gain levels as a Spec. Sorcerer is pretty fun so no complaints, but I want the freedom to try every class. I don't really care if I'm not completely optimised or anything, but would I be screwing myself over if I just decided to level up mostly as one class instead with ad-hoc class switches for a few levels here and there, instead of crafting a proper build? You would not be screwing yourself over at all. Arty's right, no matter which classes you level up with, top level gear will give you a big enough boost in any stat you're lacking. I think it's best to play whichever classes you enjoy. I myself played as MA from about level 80 onward and had no issues.

Adventures with Crates Shinon: Okay, Mr. Crate. I don't like you, even though you probably like me because everything else does. You sit here all smug in your cratey-ness, and it just gets under my perfectly-tanned skin. I'm going to have to smash you to bits. Alynna: Shi, leave that alone, please. These crates aren't yours. They belong to whoever it is that lives here. Shinon: You don't GET IT. When pawns are born, we have two things in our mind. One - protect Master. Two - break all crates. Alynna: Nothing about killing the Dragon? Shinon: That sort of goes with the first thing. Alynna: You don't see Barnaby attacking crates all the time. *Shinon points, Alynna turns around* Barnaby: ^%$#$%ing CRATE!

Shepenwepet - "Chest or crates. Or pots. Or Crates." CHESTS, you navel starers!! Last night, I was taking Ulee/Chase through pre-Daimon BBI. Got to the Bloodless Stockade and was able to take Death out in one go (multi Ricochet with four stacked Demon Periapts). But then.... all loot was hanging in MID-AIR!! I tried everything to get at that stash. And of course, it disappeared before I thought about taking a screenshot of the "comedy of errors". DOH! Ah well. I finished out Daimon first form on Hardmode, and ended the night with them at level 190. Trying to decide if I want to try for his second form, or just finish up hardmode for the cheevos. Then I can go back to normal mode, which is a lot more conducive of taking snapshots. Less chance to be one shot by an ugly goblin with a club. lol! Will post pics later.

ruggly - I say give it a try. Things hit a lot harder in BBI, but it will also give you a chance to get a good idea of how you might want to play. Plus, even if you die, ya might get some lulz (and loot!) out of it. I was around 70ish when I went in on the PC (much later on the 360, since I had played the original game more, before playing DDDA). I didn't complete BBI though, until I was around 125 - I think. Crusty brought up min-maxing earlier. I admit I love getting the most bang for my buck, so to speak, so I do pay close attention to how I level up, before hitting 100. After level 100, I am much more loosey-goosey. I generally build for balance though, instead of concentrating on one or two things. However, as the others mentioned, you can make up such a HUGE difference with end game gear. Especially once they have been Gold Forged.

What's a good level to go to BBI? I've heard it's around 70 but I'm wondering if you can go a bit earlier on normal. Where you're at now is good. Higher level pawns help a lot, and the gear you'll find should make things easier. There's a new guy who can upgrade your equipment past dragonforged and you'll run into him early on.

Unfortunately I'm only level 33, so I'd probably get smeared into paste and then the paste smeared into smaller paste at the moment.

Recommended levels, shrecommended levels. Level 10 team + Rook, King of All Pawns. Yes, they fled in terror when Death showed up and they returned with a ringer in Rook's place, but they somehow managed to get into the courtyard without being splattered on the walls. Also this was normal mode, not hard. I would not attempt that on hard mode.

I'm trying to figure out what pawns you've got there. The one farthest right looks Woolie-shaped (I miss Woolie!), but seems to be wearing the shadow set. ...They all look like they're wearing the shadow set. Except the one farthest left. Skinny legs. I assume that one is Arisen-Briana? ...wait, is Shadow-Woolie actually Kal in her Chaos Armor? My daily screenshot is almost exactly three years old. Taken on September 19th, 2013. Lynnie looks a bit blue.

Most of the shots you'll see from me are taken using Assassin's Lyncean Sight or Ranger's Meteor Shot. Here are a few screenshot tricks you can experiment with. PC tends to wig out with the zoom skills, though, resulting in all sorts of graphical glitches. I suppose it has to have one downside.

Sorry I've been absent... bought a house and have been busy moving for the past week or so >.< I did play for about 30 minutes the other night. Not sure I love my living room set-up since I'm facing the screen at an odd angle, but maybe that's a good thing and will keep me from playing for hours at a time Let me see if I got any decent screenshots... I have a habit of taking them while playing then forgetting to upload them to Steam >.< Bah. Not much. Half-naked Arisen. Definitely need to get that mod that erases the chest scar. And the screenshot 'remove decal' mod ofc. Oh and this happened, but this was a while back: IIRC I had to leave and re-enter... stupid garm!!! Game wouldn't let me kill it.

I played a little bit last night. Switched Nick to strider and picked up Jaina. I forget who she belongs to. I have a question. How can I get that 3rd star for Nicks knowledge thing for Gransys? Like, shouldn't he have that by now? lol Also, I'm not super good at screenshots either. I just take'em. Carcharoth, Artemis, coldwetn0se and Shepenwepet are much better. So I leave the staged ones to them
