Forgot how fun this variant is.

Taking things insanely slow.. humans are fragile in Steamband. Apparently Naturalists make good fighters, so I've been treating him like one - been pumping basically only the melee skills, along with the Flora talents as utilty and some basic prayers. Gonna probably need firearms before long, though.

I've put some effort into elemental powers but they're kinda useless unless the fail rate goes down. I hope it does at some point - I don't think skill level has anything to do with it. I have a feeling that by the time they approach reliability, the damage will be too low to be useful.

Also I'm not totally sure that the Fire skill is doing its job. But it sounds good, so I've been following it under the assumption that it adds fire damage to melee and that it boosts muscle... although these benefits are difficult to notice. None of the other elemental specialties seemed very attractive.

I took the Fire spec with my last (now deceased) character. At skill level 10 you will gain a Fire Ball or something like that, however by the time I got to that point it was mostly useless against any enemy, and since you're already up to DL43 I suspect you'll think so too. That's a sweet weapon, have you noticed their overall rarity, or is it just me.

Fireball's my best distance attack for now, since the fail rate is only 4%, the mana consumption isn't bad, and I have no firearm skill. But it probably won't last. I hope I'll survive long enough to boost Fire Spec to 20 to see if it's worth using in future chars.. I'm holding out for a grand finale.

Good weapons are notoriously difficult to come by in Steam; I've spent a decent amount of time playing it and never seen an artifact weapon. The best ever found was a sort of analogue to a spear of gondolin. Not really a problem, though, given the general rebalancing. Browsing the winners on the ladder, it seems most folks end up using a big ole shotgun and neglect the melee slot altogether.

But yeah, the whip of slay evil is working out very nicely for now.

Well that sucked. Happened all in a flash. At least I got to max out Fire Lore.. it did get more powerful (obviously not powerful enough against Sabre-tooth Tigers), and I unlocked fire mastery. So it might be feasible to use it in lieu of firearms.
