Hello everybody, first of all i have to say that i love this game. I just finished my first Cleric run and overall im really happy with the character - thanx @00_Evan@lemmy.world
Tier 1 and 2 spells are great - i love the recall inscription spell!!! In Tier 3, cleanse and holy lance are my favs, cant see value in the other spells, i tried hallowed ground but havent found it usefull so far.
Tier 4 - Divine intervention is nice especially in critical situations and in the final level. But i mostly used Tier 2 spells up to the end.
The balance seems fine to me, wasnt any harder or easier to win the game - as with all chars it greatly depends on luck to find a decent armor and rings asap. I still find the first 8 lvls the hardest to survive - afterwards it gets easier.
Already looking forward to the the other classes.
2 ideas concerning future updates:
What abaout a necro char? Would be great to raise enemies to fight with you.
Let us hire sellswords from the vendor, would also make healing spells like hallowed ground or bless more usefull.
Keep up the great work - Thanx
Mike
In my opinion, I feel that the Cleric is too dependent on his tome. All other heroes have their talents that aren't dependent on a single item, while his talents (mostly) depend on his tome; they cost charges to the tome and this makes him a bit vulnerable/weak when the tome runs out of charge, while other heroes' talents stay active, (almost) all the time. (Almost all of his talents are started with "The Cleric can cast..."!).
Unless they're T3 or T4 talents, then I think it's not OK to rely on a single item like that.
