#Secrets of grindea mage build update#

The new archery is kind of mixed bag, early on it’s really bad because your bag is so small and later it takes up so much space it’s kind of iffy unless you get the now god tier bow relic mouse wood, upon which you no longer care about the rest of your inventory because everything dies horribly, especially if you can get extra actions. I’m sure you have plans for half my suggestions already, just putting stuff out there. Note that I have no idea how hard it is to program anything into the game and limited sense of game balance so take any of my suggestions purely from the perspective of a player who wants to do fun things.

#Secrets of grindea mage build update#

There is one occurence in the game where the item does get pretty broken, it is whenever the player has a shiv/hatchet/cleaver build because the whetstone affects every weapon in its row and column, so you can get +30 damage worth out of one whestone if you have 10 shivs.įirst off, just wanted to say I’ve been playing since the relic update and this game is incredible with even more awesome potential than I can imagine, thank you so much for all your hard work making and improving it and I look forward to what it will become. The poison whetstone, in spite of being usable only once per turn, deals way more damage to the enemy because that gives the weapons +1 poison which stacks and not only that, but the poison takes a while to go away, so the player is constantly dealing damage to the enemy while the enemy can not do anything about it. The ring of doom provides +2 damage points to weapons near it when used, but given that it is a magic item that costs 1 mana, I can use it a lot to ready myself up while keeping my energy in tact. I almost never use it due to the marginal damage bonus it provides.Īdditionally, there are better items to use over the whetstone. Each time I do get one in my inventory, it is usually there to take space.

To expand on Toranet's original comment, the Whetstone is quite frankly meh as an item. What I think the developer should have done was to add a thief enemy that can steal the player's items and aim specifically for legendary/rare tier items or money.Īlong the thief enemy, the developer should consider reverting back to their original idea on how curses should work: the enemies put the curses for the player and then the curses don't replace any item from the backpack, they are instead added on top of those items which are then either disabled or weakened. This is bad game design.įunniest part of it all is that an otherwise pretty weak weapon called the cursed blade is made tremendously powerful because the player can put all the curses near it if they want to and there are builds specifically to take advantage of that fact. While I understand that, this implementation has only made the game slower-paced since the player has to figure out each time where to put the curse. I had made a previous comment pointing out the issue clear as day about the curses and was told by the developer that they were added to force the player to 'destroy' their perfect build.
