Confusing passive skill tree
|
ok i have absolutely NO CLUE wats going on in the skill tree, and how to allocate my skill points. Y couldn't the development team just make a skill tree similar to the one in diablo 2? i mean most of the skills are just lvl1 passive then lvl2 passive. y couldn't they just put all the similar passives TOGETHER so there will only be one icon?

" Right there with ya, buddy!  Despite what the developers are calling it, I refer to the Skill Tree as a "Skill Galaxy". Every time I have to look at it, I feel like I'm looking at a constellation chart.  " I'm relatively new to the Beta. I'm playing a Ranger. And, for the time being, I'm just following the Dexterity paths, being careful not to put Points in unrelated Skills. I have recently discovered that some of the higher-level Bows I'm finding have a Strength requirement, so I'm also beginning to invest some Points in Strength as well. I've been matching my Intelligence Points with my Strength Points, although I'm not sure it's necessary. Once I know the Strength requirements of the highest-level Bows in the game and whether I'll need Intelligence or not, I will be better able to decide where to allocate my Points. I really like the Passive Skill Tree in this game. The build possibilities seem endless. I anticipate that some will be disastrous. Some will be challenging and some will be highly viable in any situation on any Difficulty Level. p Edit: I was just looking over some item threads. It appears that Bows don't have Strength requirements after all. If you have a Bow that is faceted with a Red Gem, then it will have a Strength requirement. The same would apply to Bows faceted with Blue Gems for an Intelligence requirement. Now I know what the requirements mean when they say "Required: Strength (Gem): 45".

Same here, but I was looking for skills. It took some time with the Runes; but I got it now. I am loving the beta. A mage with a shield is too funny.

" Why not just make another generic peace of crap wow clone? Or fuck it,remove the passives. WTF is wrong with people,as soon as game presents them with a challenge they seem to tuck tail between legs and run. I was confused at first as well,played for few days and started to get hand of it. If you don't,well sorry,apparently your IQ is to low to play a game which actually involves thinking and planning,my tip for you: quit,this game is NOT for you. No rest for the wicked.

Just to counterbalance the negativity a little. The galaxy is crazy at the start. Depending on which class you're making, there are some good threads you can check out which make the tree less daunting. I'd recommend checking them out if you want your initial experience to be a little less insane:
Summoners Bow Rangers Various builds Mercenaries: 96 SC: 95 97 96 100 95 96 97 98 95 97 96 HC: 96(dead) Character archive: view-thread/963707 Last edited by unsane#5479 on Jan 2, 2012, 9:26:12 AM

Skill Tree Tips: -For first playthrough with any particular class check forums for a good build suggestions -If you want to play harder difficulties, know what skills you are aiming at before investing points -do not invest points in too many directions at once. One is ideal. -do not invest points in +10 str/dex/int unless those lead to a skill you need for your build -try to pick skills that complement each other. For example if you are getting Blood Magic you might want to consider hp increasing skills or hp regeneration or if got bow knockback, get some increased critical chance skills. -don't go overboard with above rule. Don't go for the skills that complement your build if they are too far or if they are too small of an increase. Have some diversity in your skills. -Unless you know what you are doing, go for skills that are close to where you start or to other skills you decide to get -In most cases its a good idea to pick at least one 'large' skill. Those are the ones that are surrounded by an intricate borders and usually are at the edge of the tree. Again check forums or ask other people before picking one. -Get some defense. You'll be fine in normal difficulty with just offensive skills but beyond you'll need at least some defense. -if you are not sure if some skill is worthwhile ask someone on forums or in game |
