Birdbrain: "do you think BHVR modeled Vittorio Toscano after the likeness of fantasy LARPer and craftsman Skill Tree? I mean, look at this guy..."

Birdbrain: "I can't unsee the resemblance, and I will inflict this on as many eyes as possible"

Niche? Probably.

But Skill Tree boyfriend and Rachel Maksy girlfriend is such a duo.

Veilguard’s spec tree looks a lot like Dragon Age 2’s. Which I always felt wasn’t praised enough.

Hmmm? Where can I find that last Troll skill? Can any of you who had this game help me figure it out? 🤔

Basic outline of Erik's Storm Magic Tree for Dragon Age: Crimson Nights.

Erik has three skill trees: Spirit Magic (shared), Storm Magic (unique), and Dreamer (specialization). The Storm Magic tree revolves around making targets Wet with Riptide and Rainstorm, then inflicting Frozen and Paralyzed with ice and lightning spells. Lacks in DoT or direct damage effects, but offers a lot of CC and can do large amounts of AoE damage if spells are used in the correct order.

Yes, this means Erik is basically a Genshin Impact character. No, I have never played Genshin Impact. That is all.

Diablo IV Sorcerer Build: Electrical Burn

Been a yip since I posted anything on this blog hasn't it? Well, thats because I've been kinda busy... in Sanctuary... killing the hell outta Hell.

While I normally go with the Necromancer (for the minion army) or the Druid (yip yip Imma furry,) I was surprised to find that it was the Sorcerer I stuck with all the way through the end of the main story quest.

Thing is, I greatly prefer to solo in games like Diablo IV, and for solo players the Sorcerer usually has the same life expectancy as a fly in a wind tunnel... and yet mine is easily my strongest character.

So, I figured I'd share the skillset I use with him with you all, a mixture of Fire and Lightning magic I've dubbed the Electrical Burn Build.

Basic Skill Tier:

For my basic skill I went with Spark, taking the enhancements to give it occasional multi-garget and the chance to form crackling energy. I also try to stick with a wand and focus as much as I can so that I can spam the hells outta this one. Faster cast speed is your friend with this spell, you wanna be able to machine gun this sucker! Assault Elixir is very useful for this as well!

Core Skill Tier:

For my core ability I chose Chain Lightning. Its an excellent spell for both groups and solo enemies as, should the Sorcerer stand alone against a single foe, the bolt of lighting will pinball between you and your foe so that it still hits multiple times!

Defensive Skill Tier:

For the defensive tier I took Flame Shield over Teleportation. Its a fun trick, but I found the self heal I got from Flame Shield really came in handy in a lot of situations!

As for Glass Cannon... its a risk, but with my Sorcerer most enemies die before they can land more than a hit or two on me, so this one works out pretty well if you're willing to take the increased damage.

Conjuration Skill Tier:

For Conjuration I actually took two spells, foregoing anything from the Mastery tier ability-wise. Lightning Spear and Hydra make a very deadly combination of sentient fire and lightning to decimate my enemies, whether they be alone or in groups.

I also took Precision Magic to increase my Lucky Hit Chance as much as I could. As for why...

Mastery Skill Tier:

I didn't take an actual spell from that, but I did take all three Lightning passives! Crackling Energy is a big part of my strategy in the game, and these are vital for my build. Any time an ability has something that can make Crackling Energy, I take it. When I run low on mana I can just dodge around and there'll usually be a few spheres nearby to nab for a quick recharge, and an extra burst of damage to boot!

Ultimate Skill Tier:

Naturally my Ultimate is Unstable Currents, or as I like to call it "Fuck you, I win." This, combined with a fast attack speed and spamming the hells out of Spark, will absolutely ERADICATE anything around my sorcerer. Swarms of foes, elite enemies, even bosses are laid low by this one!

Even the mighty Butcher has wound up dead at my feet with this build, multiple times! The last three encounters with the massive brute had him on the floor and me still standing with seven potions in reserve!

All thanks to my last skill...

Key Passive Skill:

When I pop Unstable Currents, crackling energy rains from the sky. It appears EVERYWHERE! When I grab it, my cooldowns are cut dramatically against elites. Against bosses and the like, that means I can get off Unstable Currents again VERY quickly under the right circumstances!

The Butcher might be able to survive me using it once... I got it off three times last time we fought, and he was fried beef by the time I was done.

Speaking of frying things... as for why this is called the "Electrical Burn" build...

Enchantments:

Both my Enchantments are Fire ones!

Fire Bolt's enchantment gives ALL my spells a burning Damage over Time effect for bonus damage, and the Fireball enchantment is a holy terror for enemy mobs!

I can fire off one Spark into a single bat in a swarm, and then just sit back and watch the fireworks display. A whole mob of Ghouls? Chain Lightning the leader and its raining limbs! Fireball's enchantment isn't much use against boss monsters, but against enemy mobs its absolutely devastating and lets me steamroll dungeons with ease!

So yes, thats my build. I'm still level 59 at time of writing and working out my Paragon Tree, but I may well update this once I'm done there. Feel free to give this a try if you like! It may not be for everyone, but I find there is very little that can stand against me with this setup.

Resurrected Skins – A Second Chance for Rare Looks

Ever missed out on an exclusive skin because it was tied to merch you couldn’t get? Klei gets it. They’re also introducing Resurrected Skins, which will bring back some rare Don’t Starve Together skins in a way that respects their original value in this update.

Here’s how it works:

Each Resurrected Skin will be free for a limited time via giveaways or events.

Which you can find on Steam for Linux, Steam Deck (verified), Mac, and Windows PC.

so many times I've said start with candelabra calendula yes

we all long for a juicy full stop but ifyou had one where would it end yes you’ve guessedcorrectly for all I know but your skill tree isnot my skill tree which involves a cumbersome buffet of negotiations regarding dessert so what’sleft of the agenda everyonebeen bled as much as permitted in the next phase we will certainly encounter certain issues we will slowly haveto knead and so on until we…

[neil-gaiman]

Correct?

Close. The thing you assumed was a birch tree is actually a duck. There is, surprisingly, no cat in that picture.

[hyperhimes]

Who thought it’d be a good idea to land here? Well, I mean we did run out of gas, so it really doesn’t matter, but I’d have a better chance correctly saying “Dessert Paradise” without saying “Desert Paradise” instead of trying to get out of a valley filled with fire and flames.

Outline of Erik's Dreamer spec tree for Dragon Age: Crimson Nights.

Sleep: Inflicts Sleep on a group of targets, incapacitating them until the next time they take damage. Lasts indefinitely, but doesn't work on everything.

Veil: Erik vanishes, entering Stealth and becoming invisible to most enemies. This is identical to the Rogue's Stealth ability, with a different name.

Hypnosis: Charms an enemy into fighting on the party's side for a short time. Powerful, but doesn't work on everything.

Impostor: CreAtes a duplicate of Erik that draws aggro froM all nearby enemies, allOwinG the real Erik to escape their attention. This is identical to the Shadow RogUe's Decoy ability, with a different name (Just to complete the joke, here's a letter S).

Self-Image (ULT - requires Focus): Creates a duplicate of a party member of Erik's choice that perfectly mimics all of their actions for a short time, effectively doubling their damage and causing all of their skills to go off twice. This is similar to the Artificer Rogue's Hail of Arrows ability from DAI, but copies any skill and works on anyone in the group.

Overall, this tree allows Erik, a Mage, to behave almost like a Rogue in battle, sidestepping and avoiding combat situations until he finds the perfect moment to strike. Also, when used with proper circumstances and timing, Self-Image and Hypnosis can increase the party's damage output to truly absurd levels.
