This game and Diablo are based on Rouge - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_(computer_game)

Top down view, randomly created dungeons, randomly created items, and perma-death were all there. So Diablo did not start this genre, Rouge did. Also, you characterize players of this type of game as being lifeless addicted, having a hollow existence and living in a reality-escaping bubble. Really?

Not all of them, a minority, but those are the ridiculously hardcore that kept this strange genre afloat.

Health is a universal stat in every ARPG. You can't possibly expect to survive in harder difficulty without some decent amount of HP. I played diablo 1&2, Dungeon Siege 1&2, Titan Quest and many more. It's just essential you get more HP if you want to progress and more defense if you want to die less. Otherwise you get killed many times.

This aint d3, where you can dump all your gear to match your dps stat and percent it based on your main haind dps, that's beyond stupid, one of the many reasons d3 failed.

Then go get an MD and do some actual research rather than blathering out random thoughts.

You interject in a thread about game discussion, attacking "rancid fanboys" while simultaneously trashing anyone that plays the game for whatever reasons you can "think up".

You're a walking contradiction that, for some reason, feels entitled to a lively discussion about defensive mechanics. Really? You can't have it both ways.

Lololol so you havnt even played every ARPG but suddenly health is a major stat in all of them?

You never had / have to invest in health to beat Sacred 1 + 2. You can play both those cames with a pure caster stat build.

I guess not, but it's a forum remember?

I happen to think a lot of game topics go deeper than just the game.

You didn't counter any points i made, you just attacked me personally, who's the walking contradiction now?

I played this games too. As i said in my previous post "and many more" thanks for reminding me of that good game.

My memory is most sound with sacred 1. Playing a caster class does not make an excuse not to stack some HP. I don't think your argument is really accurate. Even pure caster you needed some HP couse on gold (i believe gold was the hardest diff?) mobs hit quite hard.

Being forced to health-check till you have no passives is stupid, and honestly as much as i love the game i don't intend on being forced into a massive defensive/resists/hp node check to the point where i can't make my own build.
