One donated 900$ and the other 350$ if I had it right (thanks again!). We reached 25% (roughly 1250) before that. Then it jumped to 50% (2500). At the same time the "highest pledge" rose from 333$ to 900$. 1250 - 900 = 350. That's how I calculated it.

I will write a PM to Aarik D... Edit: ...did it.

Hahaha. Cool!

I think you're speaking about Gwisk Glas. It's from the bounty where you kill the Vithraks in Pearlwood Bluffs. In the Endless Paths you can find Rundl's Finery quite early which is brown/red.

Lets say "Persistence".

I'd have to sit down and think about it. At the moment I'm quite busy so I don't know when I find the time for it. It was ok - I digged a 40 meter trench for a site power supply (building a house atm) and now I feel happy but worn out.

It's not so bad. Jolting Touch fits pretty nice for a wizard with fists. Actually fists are quite good for wizards because with fists you don't need to care about graze, hit or crit - they all do nearly the same damage because of the weird mechanics of Novice's Suffering. At the same time, a wizard can have high MIG due to Citzal's Martial Power. Novice's Suffering scales with MIG, so that's another plus. Slap on the Sandals of the Forgotten Friar and your melee damage will be pretty neat. And you will be fast. Note that dual wielding influences you ability to cast spells indirectly, too. If your recovery after a melee atttack is very short or zero you can add a spell to the last punch pretty quickly. Crackling Bolt and Chain Lighning are not bad, too. Also note that the phantoms you can summon will cause shock damage. The other levels could be filled with summoned weapons, self buffs and cc/disables which somewhat could be associated with electricity or electromagnetic stuff, like Dazzling Lights, Bewildering Spectacle (think of sparks and flashes), Pull of Eora and so on. Sounds fun! A bit like an electric monk.

Thanks a lot. And I totally missed Fenixp's post about that, sorry. Thank you, too.

You guys describe it way better than I ever could.

Yes, but combined with a Draining Wall it's quite nice.

In other games? Can't say how often I gulped a Potion of Infuse with Vital Essence. Not so rare those things...

Sounds more like being a parent than being a narcissist. I mean not the "feeling insulted" part, but he part where I ignore my kids as long as they can't articulate their troubles and wishes in a somewhat decent manner. Also, it seems to be more obtuse to ignore several good arguments (like those from Gromnir) than to give you some insight why you won't get sh!t in life if you can't express yourself politely.

True story!

I don't understand that. Isn't there actually less choice? How can there be more choice if you take away options? When you are preparing for a race and have the following options: a) repair and pimp your old but beloved red racing car (maybe it's not as fast and nippy as a new one, but you know it inside out) b) get a new fancy green racing car (highest speed) c) get a new gorgeous blue racing car (best acceleration) Now you take away option a): b) get a new fancy green racing car c) get a new gorgeous blue racing car How is there more choice? Or why is the choice more meaningful? And I don't want to nag or something - I really don't understand what you guys mean with that.

Yes, it's 100% proc chance. The time stealing stuff also works when hitting non-buffed enemies, but the timespans you steal are very short then (shorter than your attack/recovery cycles). Hitting buffed enemies gives in much better results.

Great thing MaxQuest. Like Dr. Hieronymous Alloy said, you could add the problem that Firebrand, Cadebald's Blackbow, Bittercut and Stormcaller work with elemental boosters, but Durance's Staff doesn't - just because of the order of damage types. How could anybody who doesn't roam these forums day by day know this stuff? And this thread should be pinned. Just my opinnion. Pin intended...

If you have short recovery and ok DEX it works pretty nicely even against single targets. I's not like a barb, but it's ok. Works well with a fighter for example with Constant Recovery, Disciplined Barrage and Vigorous Defense plus Outlander's Frenzy. Most of the time it's not enough to prolong them endlessly, but it will give you a lot more duration. I honestly never tried if it prologs Feign Death's invisibility which didn't use to break even when attacking. If you pick off buffed enemies it works better by the way.

Hah, probably because I confused him Yes - your test totally convinced me although I was doubtful at first. But of course I was only teasing.

It's the same mechanic as in the pen & paper version (The Dark Eye - germany's most popular RPG). I think it's a very good solution for p&p and it gives CON some meaning, but I don't know if I'd like that in PoE.

What the positive heck? Great news! But now it will be very tough to win the race for the highest donation.

Go go version 2!

I thought you were asking if it's effective. Of course you can take it for thematic purposes.

Man, where is the dislike button when I need it.

Wizards endurance and health are pretty low even with high CON. I think in order to make good use of Battle Forge you'd have to rest all the time. I mean more than usual. Same problem with a rogue + Battle Forged. Even though it works with Deathblows and all it's not a lot of fun because you have to rest after every fight. Or so it feels.
