Subject: ok, the dryad is the most op class

i was pretty hung up on my shadow dude, being the ultimate force of rape, but it turns out the dryad is the true rapist of the entire game. i had to put the shadow dude on hold because i got hit with a pre 2.40 mist of miasma boss kill. forcing me to reload an older save backup which was 4 days old.. i had pretty great new momentum going on this shadow dude after a large hump of slow exp stagnation, some new skills were coming into play, but then i lost it all at that boss.
man, the survival bonus is no joke. its honestly the best mechanic of any loot based rpg. this game is so well thought out. avoiding death is actually very important, and on the xbox its a pain in the ass to backup your save to pc, which makes surviving that much more special. the save file is not as disposable on xbox than it is on pc.

so even after all these years, i had not been building these characters property, due to autism, but there is pretty much a specific formula you have to follow for anything you make in this game, but following it is damn good. plus there are a bunch of other mechanics which are class specific to exploit.
for example, on the xbox version, which is a cross between 2.38 and 2.40 of the pc version, if you stack the regen per hit modifier you get a machine gun. you get a machine gun which auto targets multiple targets at once, so its like a shot gun machine gun. the initial shot you make will stack with another shot triggered by the regen on hit, providing multiple shots. it works with any attack or combat art. though im not sure if this works on any version of pc, be it official 2.65, or CM 1.6, since it also seems to be tied with the unique gamepad controls of console, which handle ranged things much differently, its a totally different system. so yeah, on xbox you get an auto machine gun shotugun with crits. its very damn good, trust me here.
there are so many things to know about this game, that building a proper character is an art. i cant think of anything else this cool.
it all comes down to regen times, and stamina being the only attribute you should ever level, but its not as simple as you may think.
yeah this game is not popular because other games like diablo (yes diablo 2- the "complex" diablo) are extremely simple by comparison, and the wiki doesnt cover it all.
the wiki covers a lot actually, but there is so much that it doesnt
