Comet Talismans

[Reeb99]

Sorcery, seriously? Wow, they really keep trying to push these worthless no-health talismans. They need to remove them all from the drop list and convert the existing ones to another type. They aren't worth considering in my opinion.

Anybody that uses these no-health or 6x damage talismans are going to be in for a rude awakening when pvp hits, in my opinion. Dead before they even get a chance to activate buffs unless they use the massively overpowered red troll.

this is very sad, i agree they should remove sorcery and the onslaught talismans or at least change them to have at least ANY good stat. (like a super high DEF for the yellow would be nice.

DEF is worthless if you meet somebody with true damage ... they are just bloody worthless ...

Say that you have a character with a set of Thief Bulwark talismans. They alone will give approximately the same health boost as a green and five blue power/arcane talismans, but they will not give any DEF or MR. Putting three blue sorcery talismans in the other three spots will give the build the same total bonus for DEF and MR as a balanced build with a green and five blue power/arcane talismans. Do you really think they should take away the possibility for this kind of build?

The Wickerman is another example where such a no-HP talisman could be useful. As both ATK and DEF adds to his damage you (probably) want every talisman to contribute to both his ATK and DEF but since his base MR is pretty low, that will leave him very vulnerable to magic damage attacks. So for him a player might want to consider a build which includes red talismans of the skilled type.

Sorcery, seriously? ...

This is what I thought as well ... unless they change this for the better just concentrate on another achievement IMHO ... this reward really doesn't fell like an achievement - it feels like a punishment ...

Just played my troopers today as this mess is not their fault but going to switch it off for the rest of the day. This "achievement" really took the fun out of the game ...

On a sidenote: Counter the Red Troll with a Blue Bat (I have) or the Prisoner / Death Dog (I don't have both yet) and he is not that poewrful anymore ...

Again: DEF and MR are ignored by True Damage! You can add a billion DEF and MR but if I hit you with a team consisting of True Damagers you are gone before you can say "ouch"

I agree that these talismans would make sense if True Damage for example would ignore 60% or so of MR and DEF ... OK at least high stats give me some protection ... but otherwise

Would seem they'd fit OK with Magus cotd & NoL?

Magus Golden Son works because of revive, PDK to get some AoE, CotD for billzard shield, NoL for AoE+has reflect shield? All have decent HP already too.

Also, what about other non-magus magic doers - Gunner Bomber Boy? Assassin Souless Demon (w invincibility), corrupt rescuer or pyro?

Lastly, Sentinel Undead Rescuer, Pharao Sand Spirit (already that def/MR!!!), undead & regular allied soldiers, or even your good 'ol corrupt ox cultist!?

Actually, Im going to suggest these talismans might make some sentinels from meh to usable right?

I have them on a spare PDK for now, and plan to level them one day.
Its quite funny you guys do exactly what Sparton wanted us to do, explore where,how and if they can be fitted somewhere...some nice ideas overall

And everywhere I put them I think they would be much better in Arcane or Power...

Yep, not disagreeing with that.
