They all start off at a base radius of 2 and gain 1 radius for every 2 (raw not adjusted) talent points you put in. At tl 4 they'll all have a radius of four (which I felt was pretty decent when designing them).

The duration also goes up by a point every talent level but this rounds up and goes off adjusted talent level. At tl 5 every circle should be radius four and last ten turns at base mastery.

The damage they deal is a bit lower then say corrossive vapour but this is intentional on my part because A) you'll never damage yourself and B) every Circle gives the caster some kind of other advantage as well.

Really though it's a talent heavy tree. If you invest points in them the duration and radius can get pretty big and the usefulness will go way up. Otherwise Sanctity and maybe Warding are worthwhile even at a point or two but I'd skip shifting shadows and blazing light unless you plan to spend at least four points in them. (I did in playtesting and they did a lot of damage, but I also don't like using most of the sun tree aside from sun flare unless I'm playing a paladin).

Some do. When you are eligible to use a circle save up a few points and see how it scales upward. That is the best way to test any talent you are considering using. (Remember you can remove points if you right click on the talent as long as you don't leave the screen.)

Useful yet less so than the basic talents. I found the sanctify circle and the warding circle to be the most useful of the 4.

Remember: If you're a barbarian, you can do this to your enemies!

Get SVN and GIT from here.

This has SVN and GIT in their own MinGW/msys environment.

And I highly recommend making a backup of the freshly downloaded directory trees, because it's much faster to restore them when you screw them up than to download them from the net again.

On windows? Did it take long to compile? I really need to learn to do this so my personal development version isn't weeks behind the svn.

Hopefully they aren't to fun or I'll never get Paradox Mages done in time for beta 20.

Congrats. I beat one of the bosses by teleporting away a lot until I had diminished his followers to a reasonable flood.

Stunning is a common way to die. The monster stuns you then stuns you again and its all over. The way to prevent this is to be aware of what monsters do that that AND find stun resistance gear. Good luck with your new one.

Have managed to make it through the whole of the western quests so far (level 26) as an Anorithil without dying. I expect that will quickly change as I encounter the orc prides. The character is pretty good at crowd control but there have been a few tight moments with hp at critically low numbers. Thankfully the character has a lot of different defenses and escape routes. We shall have to see how things progress tomorrow.

Sorry to see it died. I was a little lucky with the Queen as she didn't summon before I status locked her with Starfall and Mindblast.

But then again, it's your fault for playing Hardcore anyway... seriously >.> ^^
