==Strategy==
+
−
 
+
−
Their primary stats are [[Willpower]] and [[Cunning]]. Most effects are based off [[Mindpower]], which is affected by both Willpower and Cunning (with Willpower having a larger effect). Some talents have a Willpower prerequisite, others have a Cunning prerequisite.
+
−
 
+
−
Buying the [[Combat training (category)|Combat training]] tree in [[Last Hope]] should be a priority. Get some armor on you, because you're going to need it.
+
−
 
+
−
Your most effective talent for directly hurting things at first is Willful Strike. This also knocks the monster back a tiny bit, which is certainly welcome.
+
−
 
+
−
Later, Reproach starts to become more effective. Emphasize Willpower, Willful Strike and Reproach during the early game. With Madness, Reproach lets you debuff a whole bunch of nearby monsters. In one-on-one situations, Reproach's damage actually starts to become respectable with decent Willpower and additional points invested. Its downfall is its incredibly short range.
+
−
 
+
−
Reproach does not hurt any allied NPCs, despite what the description implies. It only targets enemies.
+
−
 
+
−
For crowd control, you have Reproach (with or without Madness), Creeping Darkness (highly unpredictable -- it doesn't hit every square in the area you specify), and Blast.
+
−
 
+
−
Deflection's description is absolutely worthless. Here's how it works: you turn it on once (sustained), and it stays on forever. Each turn that you aren't damaged, it builds up a point (on the left pane, it will appear as Deflection (26), then Deflection (27), and so on until it has reached its maximum damage absorption based on the talent level and your Willpower). When it absorbs incoming damage, these points are reduced, and it will begin charging again. It's not a particularly strong shield, but it's extremely low-maintenance, and certainly better than nothing.
+
−
 
+
−
The Doomed do not fare well against strong enemy spellcasters. Taking antimagic may help with this -- believe it or not, the Doomed are eligible for antimagic, since Hate is actually a perverted form of psionics -- but then that leaves you needing to defeat a strong enemy spellcaster. Catch 22 situation.
+
−
 
+
−
Creeping Darkness may help prevent enemy spellcasters from seeing you until you get close.

Doomed is a class introduced in the base game. It must be unlocked by killing your own shade in the Shadow Crypt in the Far East.

Locked Description

In shaded places in unknown lands thou must overcome thyself and see thy doom.

Description

The Doomed are fallen mages who once wielded powerful magic wrought by ambition and dark bargains.

Stripped of their magic by the dark forces that once served them, they have learned to harness the hatred that burns in their minds.

Only time will tell if they can choose a new path or are doomed forever.

The Doomed strike from behind a veil of darkness or a host of shadows.

They feed upon their enemies as they unleash their minds on all who confront them.

Their most important stats are: Willpower and Cunning

New Class Unlocked Description

Through ignorance, greed or folly, the Doomed served some dark design and must now pay for their sins. Their only master now is the hatred they carry for every living thing.

Drawing strength from the death of all they encounter, the Doomed become terrifying foes. Their mere presence engulfs the area in darkness.

Some of them, however, strive to redeem their faults by using their Doomed powers to battle evil.

You destroyed your own doomed shadow. You can now create new characters with the Doomed class.

Doomed are short range spellcasters. Class features:

  • Engulf your foes in darkness
  • Summon shadows to fight for you
  • Unleash your hatred in raw physical form
  • Feed off the life of your foes

The Doomed use hate, a resource that grows as they kill their foes and decreases while standing idle.

Most of their talents are more effective with high hate.
