confused, what to do for second and third class tiers

[alildevil]

OK well I made my way thru sewers and have gotten to the next town. I have did the sisterhood thing (female human fighter). I have joined the fighters guild i think, been in and out of fargrove with kings nonsense, have traveled to where the daughters lover farther is , been back to the inn as his request to talk to girl at inn again she said to come back later, got to some quest abouta dragon egg, ran thru and snatched one, havent delivered it yet.
Basically I've been places and did nothing yet being unsure of this tier thing

Not really that interested in using magic as a offence with this char.

Patches 1.03

started as fighter, all i basically want is for my char to be able to do well in melee and use a bow, maybe duel weild on occasion, seeing how i usually dont block (being theres mass mobs attacking at a time) at all while being busy at attacking melee. I would like to however be able to cast some heal and cure poison or other curing other ailments. Wear heavy armor adn shield also

So i am asking do i become an adept as my 2nd (1st) class tier or marauder, or become an maurder and then a adapt (think adapts can cast cure poison and heal)
fighter/adapt/maurder or
fighter/maurder/adapt

Eventually I would like to become a deathlord I think.

Also if possiable could you also name the town and house for me to become what you suggest. If not im sure i can look that up.

What town sells or monsters drop better bows? adn last is it worth bringing up the bow stats more than 5 reason is im hitting almost every time at a target.

As sor the second last 2 slots I will get to that part when I reach it, sisterhood maybe?

My current character is a Fighter/Adept, Samurai/Valkyrie, War Witch. All I can say is wow! As a rule of thumb, "diabloic" abilities are a product of achieving the 3rd tier class, but rarely a 2nd tier class has access to one. Samurai allows access to the Inflict Wounds (diabolic skill) and will also let you dual wield light weapons in your off hand. Medium weapon dual wield is broken at this time. I wouldn't worry too much about it unless you are die hard and feel like wasting points on a broken skill in hopes that 1.4 patch will fix it. With that being said, I'd forget about Deathlord (just my opinion). Valkyrie gives you access to heavy weapons, heavy polearms and heavy armor. At this point you can pretty much wield anything in the game except a med. weapon in your off hand. War Witch will allow you to drain life with your magical attack. This should actually read: You will probably never die or even come close as long as you are swinging a weapon that has a magic effect. To sum up this character build, you will have access to 2 (count'em) 2! diabolic skills, both of which rock (Inflict Wound, Drainlife). You will have access to every other skill except for med. dual wield which so far only works for a rusted axe. You will be a melee god once you achieve War Witch status, and it's really not that expensive to get all of your magic skills to 10+, including magic weapon, scribe and channel if you so choose.

Hope this helped.

Arindale sells a better bow than shortbow, or you could get a free battlebow from a chest north of Lake Dire, located north east of Fargrove.

Check out the class tree here. I went fighter / adept for my tier 1, Paladin / Marauder for my tier 2, and going Crusader for tier 3. Personally I would skip the bow. Dual wielding is great, but I've seen some nice heavy weapons too. I switch between the two often.

As far as I know there is no Celestial spell for cure poison, but I can heal myself with magic and nuke quite well for being primarily a fighter.

You can cure poison with the Purify spell.

[alildevil]

but how do i chose the adapt class, according to that list theres just 3 classes such as fighter/maurder/deathlord or fighter/imperial/warlord for example.

I unserstand that you can get a second 1st tier and a second 2nd tier class but that is what im wondering about how to obtain it.

how do i pick the adapt as my second 1st tier class?

oh there si a celestrial spell called:
Purify 6 Instant Cures poison and some other detrimental effects.


edit: must have popped that in warbride while I was answering that last post, thx the same thou

Do i join the guild in fargrove(Celestial Temple) to get it? or is it just a quest that given before or after i join. Thats where I am getting confused

[Warbride]

Go talk to seer Paulus in the Temple of Circene in Fargrove. He'll send you to seer Augustus and when you return he'll ask if you want to join the Celestial Order. If you accept, he'll send you on your initiation quest to become an adept.

thx thats what i needed to know, also i thought you could only get the 2nd teir classes if you selected that path from the begining
