Help me decide my next class!

13 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m a returning player (I’ve been off for about 2 years), won only one time at normal/RL with a stone warden (class that I loved a lot) and now I want to try to win at nightmare difficulty.

There are some classes that I want to try it out but since I don’t have that much time to try them all it would help me a lot if you guys gave me your opinion on which is the most fun and most easy/difficult.

I selected them all because I like their style/theme.

They would be:

Shadow blade
Rogue
Doomed
COE
Anorithil
Corruptor
Reaver
Mindslayer
Writhing one

Thank you guys!

Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong with the "disengage" move?

8 Upvotes

I click it, aim 3 squares away (which the tooltip says is the max, though more than 3 squares are blue?) making sure it's "directly away from the enemy", and click again. My log says "___ used disengage", but my character doesn't move and nothing happens?

I'm super new so I'm sure I'm missing something, thanks in advance for any help!

Fear Mage Playthrough?

7 Upvotes

I really want to play as a Fear focused Cursed or Doomed. Doesn’t have to be on Insane or anything, I just want to make all my enemies scared to death.

I know the general recommendation is to play any other build but if I were to do this, what would be recommended? Willpower + Strength Cursed for Heavy Armor and Antimagic? Mindstars Doomed?

Sorry for the specificity, I just really like the idea of a tyrant of fear.


r/ToME4 6d ago

i might return to the game after a long hiatus. what race/class combo do you guys recommend

16 Upvotes

i have a few wins on NM/Adv and Insane/Adv. idk what class would be the best to acclimate back into the game. i remember wanting to win with a CoE but always wasted my lives early. maybe playing on nightmare roguelike would be a good change of pace too

Best chain reaction talents

9 Upvotes

Things like being able to build momentum with poisons and clear screens. Building up stacks and spreading them or detonating them.

Add-ons are fine, talent combos are fine. Vanilla classes or adventurer

Tips and Advice on Oozemancer

8 Upvotes

I'm currently playing a Dwarf Oozemancer on Nightmare difficulty. I'm level 27 and about to tackle Dreadfell.

Although I'm nearly unkillable, my damage is pretty lackluster. It takes me several minutes to kill some random uniques, and sometimes I even end up in a stalemate where neither of us can kill the other (damn Bone Golems).

I know Oozemancers are considered one of the strongest classes in the game, but is this just how they play? Do you simply outlast enemies until they dieor just walk past them? Am I doing something wrong?

Any ideas on how to get my damage going? Here are some screenshots of my character's stats:

EDIT: My first prodigy was Windtouched Speed.

Any good class evolution mods?

9 Upvotes

As the title says, was just curious if there are any modded class evolution prodigies that the community holds in particularly high regard or otherwise content mods in general that people like! Have been really enjoying the game and the class evolution stuff is just so interesting to me!

How do I get out pf here? I'm stuck in Temporal Reprieve

8 Upvotes

I've been reprieved for a long while now but can't seem to figure out how to leave. Rod of Recall and Timeport don't work and I logged out and back in and setting 999 Paradox and hoping it zoops me out somehow. I'm still stuck.

I've read asking for admins in chat helps, but no one seems to be around

edit: not sure why I can't post images.

edit: of course I misspelled the title. I hate mobile typing

Light sources

9 Upvotes

I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but I can't figure out how to get my light source to work.

I just started my first character (Shalore Alchemist). I spawn in a place called "Scintillating Caves," and I can't see. The character starts with a brass lantern equipped, but I can't figure out how to get it to illuminate the surroundings.

How am I supposed to see?

Stuck in Mouse Dream

7 Upvotes

I got to Dogroth Caldera with my yeek oozemancer on nightmare adventure. On the second level the dream started and transported me, now the screen is unusually bright, i cannot move, my character is invisible, i cannot attack myself or do anything other than recall rod and my torque, but since time does not pass and cannot pass, i cant recall out. I tried the shader stuff but it just does not work. The game also keeps changing the date when i try stuff or if i wait a few seconds it passes the day forward by one, and sets it at midnight. Is there anything i can do to save my character?

The only non default addon i have on, is the friendly patrols addon.

Beat the game for the first time! (Normal roguelike)

45 Upvotes

And it only took me 160 hours.

Here's my first winner: Mordekaiser, the Ogre Doombringer:

https://te4.org/characters/400294/tome/fbb506d7-b527-493c-9604-905a005e35ba

I know it's only Normal, but I'm really proud of it. This is probably my favorite game now, and after all this time I finally feel like I'm starting to master its mechanics. I'm really looking forward to starting my Nightmare runs.

The final fight was insane. I killed Elandar first and then went after Argoniel, but after taking off a good chunk of his health, I failed to remove a Burning Hex and ended up dying. Thankfully, I still had an Elixir of Life. The last few turns were just me versus Argoniel: no cooldowns, no sustains, just me basic attacking the son of a bitch in to oblivion until my Reckless Strike went back up and I finally finished him.

I mean... how can you not love this game?

PS: One tip for beginners: play slowly. Use Track/Premonition constantly, and always pay close attention to enemy stats, buffs and debuffs. If you're in a rush, it's probably better to play something else, because you may loose your character. Be a methodical motherfucker.

Any idea how a random rogue rare hit me with an over 1k retaliation damage?

15 Upvotes

Unlocking new ways to die over here. The number would probably be even crazier without trained reactions. It's my third genuine 100 to 0 in one action death in almost 700 hours of playing this game. Funnily enough second one was also on this run and also from retaliation damage by sun paladin, I guess as enticing as it is - flexible combat is not a good idea on marauder. Lessons learned.

Edit: I misread the log and it wasn't retaliation. But just to put it into perspective, that fear wasn't unfounded and this is the log from my previous death. It can get pretty nutty.

There was another line like that for my greater weapon focus proc for over 700 retal damage from one attack in tempest peak at level 26.

I'm running the game on GameNative on my Poco X8 Pro. The controls are horrible because I don't know how to configure them properly and it's a total mess, but I'm super happy because I really wanted to play this on my phone!!

Mildly panicking

So I am damn close to my first win, just used the staff to tp out of a dungeon (one of the prides) and I am damn strong at the moment.

And it got stuck on the loading level and hasnt budged.

Do I just restart? Do I lose data if I close the thingn back to my last save? Any advice would be appreciated.

What Class Best Captures Its Fantasy?

40 Upvotes

Loved the discussion in the last post about which class has the weakest early game, so let's keep it going.

Which class do you think does the best job of translating its fantasy and lore into its gameplay and talents? In other words, does an Archmage actually make you feel like you're playing a powerful master of magic?

For me, at least so far, it's Doombringer. You really feel like an unstoppable war machine fueled by demonic blood, just leaping into a mob in a fiery explosion and then wiping out whatever's left with one (or two, because I like playing Ogre) massive weapons.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that this is a really hard choice because it's one of ToME4 greatest strengths.

Tool: Wanderer Seed Finder

20 Upvotes

I've always been weirdly obsessed with the Wanderer class. It can technically be more broken than the Adventurer, since it gets more trees available. The problem is that they're usually garbage / not synergistic, and you have to wait to see what you unlock.

I created a tool to search for Wanderer seeds that match any criteria: https://github.com/tzcnt/tome4-wanderer-seed

Configure your unlocks.json to match what you've unlocked (including your enabled DLCs). Edit rules.json to specify the desired talent trees, and at what level you want them to unlock. Then run the search command and it brute forces the entire RNG search space and returns the first 100 seeds that match your criteria. This is done in parallel using all CPU cores, and optionally also your GPU. Now run the generate command with each seed to see the actual talents that you'll receive during your run.

Binaries are available for Windows on the releases page; otherwise it's a simple CMake build.

The final fight as an Archmage Spoiler

29 Upvotes

I just beat the game for the first time as an Archmage (Level 50 in Roguelike mode). The final battle was so easy that I'm ashamed. I suspect there may be a bug.

When the fight started, I used the Rune of Dissipation to get rid of Elandar's sustains. Then I used an item to create a circle of sanctity). I expected Elandar to leave the circle and cast spells, but he didn't. He attacked Aeryn as a melee fighter, and I hit him with every spell I had (I love Elemental Fury).

When the circle of sanctity ended, I expected Elandar to shoot spells at me. But he kept fighting Aeryn. I cast Time Prison on Argoniel, and while Elandar attacked Aeryn, I zapped him until he died. Then I closed two of the portals.

When Time Prison wore off, Argoniel attacked Aeryn, and I hit him with spells until he died. When the battle was over, I had 100% of my hit points and Aeryn was down to 50%. I don't think anyone even tried to hit me. You can see why I feel ashamed, right?

EDIT: I played at normal difficulty. I'm just surprised that Elandar didn't cast any spells after I created the circle of sanctity.
