Think I'm going to play a lifeleeching shadow. Level 2 so far. Feel free to add Bruenor80 to friends.

Made it to 13 tonight. This game fucking rocks. Really feels like a gritty ARPG ala Diablo 2. The skill tree is awesome...so much you can do...just as a shadow I've seen end-game hardcore viable builds for casters, dual wield daggers/claws, bow, and 1h with shield. So far in normal, some of the bosses are actually somewhat difficult - can't just sit there and eat the attacks( like you could in early D3) have to play the mechanics and avoid getting hit. Really digging this game so far.

I got to a level 11(I think) Ranger. I am little disappointed that I HAVE to play as a chick, but it's cool. Aside from that, when playing the Ranger it seems like it's a lot harder to get the good bow and arrow stuff instead of going the dual weapons route. It's way more spread out. The one good thing about that is that it pushes its way into the mage stuff, so I can be a Green Arrow kind of Ranger with all kinds of arrows to play with, which is my favorite thing to do

I'm with you illusion I really like the dark gritty feel to the game. It's really keeping me interested.

I'm up to 15 and am concentrating on the bow route in the skill tree for the ranger. Really liking it so far. I love the gritty feel. I need some peeps to help find better gear. Look for loki2158 or Shealu. Not sure which name will work in the social screen.

it uses the character name to add, but once added shows your account name if that makes any sense. Character name is Kottillion.

Ah kk, I'll have to try that. Mine should be my name if anyone needs someone to play with.

I guess everyone is a Bow ranger, I'm currently level 4 name should be Judedeath.

I might have to switch class if everyone else is bow ranger.

**Adretheon** · 01-26-13, 03:25 PM

lol yea it seems like a lot of people did choose Ranger.

I'm building toward the bottom right arrow area.

Also I would like to say I beat the Warden with 2 HP left, like a boss.

EDIT: Let's talk loot and those orb things.

I've noticed that with my focusing on coloured loot I'm not getting the wisdom stuff from the merchant should I be grabbing more white stuff? Cause my bag is small and I don't really have the room for it.

Also are you guys using like the whetstones and all those orbs? I'm currently just hording them.
