Best boss killer

[BeaverusIV]

I kinda hate these threads, but I guess they are neccesary as I don't have clue atm. I played TQ pre1.15 and I got back into it with the release of the expansion, but all my characters could barely kill any bosses, and not without a rediculous amount of running around, dying, and swearing. :/

I would like to know a good character that can kill bosses, or at least tank their damage so I don't have to run for my life all the time, I would like to play HC but I don't think that will be possible until I have a few characters under my belt.

I would also like to point out I will be playing with another character, don't know what yet, but the person isn't too experienced at these games so I'm thinking either Defence/Nature or Hunter/Nature. But I would like to be able to run areas myself in later levels, to find items etc, maybe even boss running.

It could be a result of your character being too far along in the game for his level.

When they added the expansion, because you level up during act 4, they adjusted all the epic monster levels a bit, and even more in legendary.

You probably need to go back to normal, run all the act 4 quests, then go to epic, do the same and start mid way in legendary and continue from there.

There might not be anything wrong with your character, he might just be too low level for the location in epic or legendary you are trying to progress through.

I never made it that far... My highest was lvl35 just after some big hall with dead people in it.

Please can you post a titancalc, because things have changed... theres to many possibilities if you just say conqueror.

And it would be nice if you could post a character that would go with it, I kinda want two really unbalanced characters that work together, i.e. a glass cannon and a tank.

my Slayer and Assassin are in the Show ur Characters thread in IT Gameplay forums Beaver

[BeaverusIV]

Can I see a titancalc of your assassin?

And maybe a bit of skill progression, I have made 3 assassins in IT; all failed.

If you want an excellent survivor then you should try Templar. Defence has a lot of good offensive and defensive tricks as well as Dream.

With Defence:
offensive skills - Batter with Rend armor (great for crowd control), Shield charge with disruption (great for getting close to long ranged units in no time), all of the passive shield hits on the right hand side.
defensive skills - Quick recovery (increases the chances of a shield block), Adrenaline (increases health regeneration slightly and also makes you faster and stronger during its activation), Battle awareness (has many good buffs throughout the tree), armor handling (allows you to wear better armor and also increases armor absorption), Colossus form (makes you huge, very strong and with good damage resistance but for a short period of time).

With Dream:
Definitely max the whole Lucid Dream tree, but perhaps not so important early game.
Phantom strike with Dream stealer is good for crowd control, but takes a while to recharge.
Distort reality - a good area stunning attack and with synergy good for damage dealing.
Nightmare - A very great supporter but Templar probably won't need him.
Distortion wave with its synergies - my personal favourite as it slows enemies down, deals damage, lowers their armor and also deals extra 50% of damage to demons with latest synergy. However make sure to carry plenty of energy potions.
And finally get yourself a trance. All good depending on what kind of build you have.

I am looking for a character that can handle Typhon @ ~lvl20 easily, I know how to survive :P I played TQv1.0 Hardcore. But thank you for the reply, I haven't had much experience with the Dream mastery and what I did do was a horrible failure, lol. Maybe my next character will be a Templar.

lvl20 is too early for Typhon imo

[BeaverusIV]

Well, I mean a level reachable before Typhon normal, then. Been a while, but I do remember ~lvl25 or so in TQ Vanilla.
