![]() Read it again: the leftover skillpoints are on different levels. And, consider this: if it can demolish a small hoard of monsters in one shot, they won't be able to do you any damage. I'm not trying to force you to use Blast Cannon, just appreciate that it can be more useful than you currently think. Being hardcore, survivability is your primary interest as I never play that way, I'm more interested in a well-balanced character that can win fights and (usually) survive long enough to do so. Also, you and I have different goals in mind. Sidebrnz: You write both that you have one point set aside, and that you have 0 unspent points. You write both that you have one point set aside, and that you have 0 unspent points. See? I'm not against the investment, I just need more info when to do it, and what to sacrifise from the preconceptualised skill-build to still remain effective. 1 point in the charge-skills, 1 coup, 7 Helaing Bots, 1 Blast Cannon, 5 Spider Mine, 1 Gun Bot, 4 Aegis Shield, and I'll need as many point in Aegis as possible before entering dungeons (9 point would mean 10% activation, what is a gamble, but sure improves survivability). I just finished Act 1 at lvl 21, Well-Known, and have 1 point put aside. I just don't see where you'd insert more Blast Cannon points. Healing Bot is also necessary for the HP and equaly importantly mana regeneration. ![]() That's not very exciting, when you can get Spider Mines instead.Īlso highly important WHEN you would invest more into BD, as you want etra protection ASAP from Aegis Shield along Force Field because of the entrance-problem. As you can see from the charts, you get 4% DPS for Blast Cannon with every point, on the repeated shots. From my POV, putting 2 or 3 points into Blast Cannon can really pay off, until you reach level 35 and can access Fusillade, but of course, YMMV. Sidebrnz: Here's a page from a T2 wiki on Blast Cannon and one for Fusillade so that you can compare them for yourself. Althogh the spiders do have HP? They definitely have when the enemy is using the skill. I still find it curious why none of the robots have HP to tank for you. Fighting Chillhoof, that act 1 grizzly boss with its buffed Northern Rage variant spell becomes almost trivial as you can just run around throwing drones. Spider Mines are very-very suggested for any hardcore Engineer, as you can release them (and they WILL rush in) from "out of sight". Now entering and cleaning the arrival-vicinity is NOT reliable, the Dwarf Mine simply respawned when I tried that. Just a bit of extra insurance.Īlso for Veteran, as soon as you can go to the enchanter within the town, just upp any leftover potions you have to the current shop-offer, or something, definitely step up from basic potions, or rank 2 potions after Act 2 etc. As town portal scrolls are not hard to come by, and aren't overloy pricy after the very start, AND I don't rly use them all that much, especialy with Engineer, who has its own healing devices, why not set up a tp before entering a dungeon, max out your charges, cast Force Field, and go in that way. And I had that unfortunate happenstance when entering that dungeon. Immobilisation Copter maybe? You loose the rank, but that nr msinly just slows things down?Īnd how well Blast Cannon synergises with spider mines?ĮDIT: it's a bit of a letdown you can't find solo guides for T2, only lvl100 multiplayer character setups.īefore I forget, just a minor trick I got struck with. So any point into Blast Cannon (when you aim for Fussilade) will have to come off from somewhere. It's either Blast Cannon, or Fussilade, but yes, Fussilade is lvl 35-or-what, and blasting away even the Act1 spawning bosses is a chore, so picking up Blast Cannon for 1 point is more optimal in my book, even if you plan on Fussilade.Īlso do not forget, you are limited by clvl 55 and Eminent karma for the first playthrough if you do not grind. ![]() You get like 2% DMG-bonus for 2 seconds with 2 points in Blast Cannon. Of course, it's your character and your call. You'll be getting lots of use out of two or three points in Blast Cannon for a long time before you have a chance to use Fusillade. ![]() Sidebrnz: You can get Blast Cannon at level 7 Fusillade isn't available until level 35.
