It’s insane how much the new run animation improves playability over B12 for me, so thanks.
I haven’t tried Nightblade yet because I’ve always been more or a sword & board guy, so I’m running through as a Soldier again, but so far I’m really loving this build.
Very noticeable update- can’t wait to finish my current build and start a new one.
Enemies…
Finally ran into the flying raptor guys again, in the updated Burrwitch Outskirts. It’s been a LONG time since I’ve seen them. Also glad to see the smaller ones are doing the sonic scream again.
Also, love the charge you added to the swarm of gnats. They were a little meh before.
I found one! Here is a Vid of my Petmaster build trying to dispatch it

The new animations are great! Playing with maxed out Phantasmal Blades has been the easiest build I’ve played. I’m not complaining. I beat the warden with a level 16 Phantasmal Blades / Bloody Pox build. It was a lot of fun. Looking forward to new content!
Do all hero’s now have higher reflect? I almost killed myself doing a warden run
Currently level 18 on a soldier + Nightblade build. It’s friggin awesome! Love that the combo makes me a “blade master”
I’m really enjoying the Nightblade mastery thus far. Thanks to the developers for pushing this out far sooner than I had expected!
Depends on the hero, but i would approach all damage reflect mobs with caution and test the level of damage with a lighter attack.
Beware Of using Phantasmal Blades that have been fairly heavily invested in, against damage reflect Mobs, chances are you will 1 shot yourself, just like Doom Bolt :rolleyes:
It is not only damage reflection but spell reflection. I had a bit of confusion as I had Bloody Pox reflected back at me followed by insta-killing myself when I then cast Phantasmal Blades. I really enjoyed the number of Heroic monsters I ran into. The one that fills rooms with poison was a pain (but in a good way).
I ran into that monster too, was in a cellar, didn’t have much breathing room, and the poison DoT hurts a lot, (in fact I met a hero swarm that had the same ability, another pain in the backside to kill. but yeah, love the heroes, they really add spice to combat when you meet one or two or three:D
awesome. now if only we could get in some multiplayer. i like seeing how other builds run without having to keep making new char’s
Also happy to hear that hero’s seem to be popping up more… Equals higher chance for better drops too!
So what are the final names for the class combos? I know Blademaster is Nightblade + Soldier, but what are the other two? I can’t find the thread that had the proposed mastery names listings despite several searches.
Nightblade + Soldier = Blademaster
Nightblade + Demolitionist = Saboteur
Nightblade + Occultist = Witch Hunter
They’re all a blast to play.
Nightblade + Arcanist = probably Nightstalker, unless this name was just a placeholder.
Thanks Xeilua.
This is an amazing update and the Nightblade class is insanely fun. Trying out the Blademaster class right now, it’s so badass.
I don’t know if this is only me but, Menhir’s Will isn’t procing for me. I’m playing the Blademaster, if that makes any difference. Oh and fought some heroics that didn’t drop loot.
Menhir’s Will only works with a shield.
Oh haha. Thanks, sorry I should have read that.
