With this pandemic craziness I got laid off (temporarily until more work is available, thank goodness). Picked this game up again with my newfound free time! I've been meaning to get back to it to actually beat it, but it's been so long since I played I just decided to restart and pick Advanced mode instead of Basic this go of it. Picked Basic mode last time. Might be why I put it down before.
Another reason is that I can't for the life of me pick a party to stick with. I love such a weird hodgepodge of characters that dont really mesh well. I also love all of the classes and designs so that's a double whammy hahaha.
Been running:
Pug/Reaper
Necro/Tank/Herb
But swapped tank for rover today to get the binds and a little more synergy, iirc they have a path that focuses on those???
Also tried elemental theme with:
masuro/link
Shaman/Warlock/(tank or herb)
Which seems fun but a little more dependent on more skill points, so may have to wait until I can grind them up a bit to use this more often...
I remember this game really picking up for me once the branching classes became unlocked so I'm at this point just trying to get there again before I get too invested in one group. Warlock, shaman, masuro and pugilist are grand, later I might have to make more of that happen, too.
I thought, when this game came out, that I'd just love reapers to death, and theyre not the worst -great for ailments and debuffs iirc- but they just don't mesh with me quite as much as I thought they would. Ah well, I can always slow myself down even more and keep swapping characters around
