[0.5.0|Sorcerer|6|YASD] I guess I preferred Warrior (+Video)

(1/1)

Tormuse:
So, I decided I wanted to record a game of DiabloRL to help promote it and maybe get people more interested in it. (And maybe, maybe prompt the Devteam to finish it?) ;) As in my more recent videos, I included my face in the corner of the screen, but I just realized that I forgot to reposition my lamp in the second video, so you can't see my face very well; just a creepy silhouette. Oh well, maybe it enhances the atmosphere or something. :P

First four levels. (The Church)

First two levels of the Catacombs.

Since I just finished a game as a Warrior, I decided to play as a Sorcerer just to get a feel for the other end of the spectrum and really test the magical abilities rather than brute forcing my way through everything. It makes for a more challenging game and speaks to how well balanced the characters are that I found myself relying quite heavily on my magic to survive, though this meant that I was going through mana potions like crazy. :| Trying to whack the enemies with my staff just wasn't effective a majority of the time, especially in the last half of the game, and I was very dependent on my Firebolt spell. (And later Fireball)

I also found a bug that when you're wielding a weapon that has knockback, it makes all your spells have knockback too! :o This could potentially be a useful exploit if you want to choose when your spells have knockback, but for this game, it just caused lots of problems, since I ran into the same issue as in my Warrior game that I was just knocking back the injured enemies so that only the uninjured ones could get to me and the injured ones healed up while I was dealing with the uninjured ones. This was a big drain on my resources which led to a crisis where I turned to shop-scumming (I don't know if that's a word, but it seems to fit) :P where I repeatedly left town and came back until Adria, the magic-dealer had some decent, non-knockback gear.

In the end, I died from trying to be too efficient. :P I had just started a new dungeon level and enemies were coming at me from all directions and I really should have used my Mana Shield spell that I had just picked up to protect me, but I wanted to use up some mana before reading the spellbook, since it gives your mana a boost when you read it, so I was continuing to pelt my enemies with Firebolts and I saw a particularly nice opportunity to use a Fireball spell to hit a group of enemies when I should have healed myself. I just didn't expect that Stalker to get a double move on me right at the end. :(
