Tips I Wish I Knew Before Playing

It’s for sale from the resistance at revered

And why would you use it? Even at level 100 those devotion skills still need xp, and the potion still doubles it.

Um. :undecided: All my devotions are already maxed out except for Will of Rattosh which is 14 of 15. So not going to gain anything there. Guess it depends on how quickly you reach Revered to be able to buy the potion.

@OP - the last bullet point about faction rep might also benefit from a few words about nemesis rep. As my first character approaches level cap it looks like few if any enemy factions will naturally reach nemesis, and thus that the player should continue picking up convenient bounties even after reaching all-revered rep with the friendly factions. But maybe I’m missing something; I’m sure experienced folks will chime in if so. I’d be tempted to ignore nemeses, but I’ve read that they’re one of the better ways to get blueprints.

Actually, you just made a pretty convincing argument that I should go ahead and do exactly this sort of wholesale respec. My first character has been super-slow lately because the third cycle through the content treadmill is extremely boring (I really wish this subgenre would design around only two playthroughs per character instead of three…). But switching from S&B commando to forcewave commando would mix things up and add a bit of novelty, plus that character’s trip to BoC resulted in a Shar’zul’s Worldeater which looks rather good for such a build (and is a useless but decorative trophy for the S&B build).

Not too worried about low devotion proc levels. The devotions for the S&B build are almost all maxed out already, so why not put the xp to work on a different set of devotions? The xp reward from quests in ultimate is high enough that the new ones should bump up to reasonable levels quickly.

My Conjurer didn’t do many bounties and he’s got 8 Revered factions and 4 Nemesis on pretty much a straight playthrough. 3 factiions do have bonus rep on them. Worst of all is Cronley’s Gang who is still only Despised level and that is with doing some Rover bounties to be able to get the Mogdrogen shrine quest at Honored in Normal difficulty.

Going by my suggested change from a petmancer to a Vitality Conjurer say I changed when he hit L100 - he would have had the remaining part of Act 4 to do and then the expansion. What am I going to do with him after that - bearing in mind I don’t farm since it’s boring as hell for me. Rerun Ultimate again with no quests to do? Boring again. I don’t think I’d particularly enjoy changing a toon so late in the game, much more fun to make a new one and start all over again. But these things are always a personal choice and I can see how respeccing can appeal to some people who don’t want to take the time to do that.

The other problem for me personally is motivation to continue to play a toon after hitting L100. This is something I’ve never come up against before since being a TQIT fan it’s a lot of work to reach that game’s level cap. My Conjurer is L100 and I still haven’t actually finished GD yet. He has the last few quests to do in Malmouth, but I’m finding myself saying what’s the point? I’m not gaining XP, more skill and devotion points, etc. My toon is done, finished, nothing I can do to improve him now so why continue? If I used an XP potion I’d reach that point even sooner and not sure I’d want to continue once I did. For me this is a concern with a second expanion on the horizon, given that we’re not getting any increase in level or devotion points.
