Is it good a sword-bow build?

I'm playing with a blood-rusted sword strength build, with electricity on it, but i'm thinking about using eletricity with bow and flame in sword. Is it good?

New 1.0 Photos and Notes

“Here's a peek at two of the MANY new zones coming to Sacra with our 1.0 launch

Watch your step as you traverse the Sylvan Hollow, a petrified forest of crystalline structures and sapphire pools.

Or step into the ancient Reliquary, a place of long-buried secrets - unearth them at your own peril.

Be sure to tune into Wicked Inside in the coming weeks, where we'll be diving into the new class system ♥”

Staff vs Wand + Shield for a mage build

Hey everybody! Started playing this wonderful game two months ago, already have more than 100 hours into the game and love many aspects of it.

As I love playing different combat styles I already have 4 characters that I play solo or with some friends. One of them is a fire mage, that I play with a wand (fused coronet) and a blanket shield that I upgraded with all around useful gems.

Recently, I played with a friend that is doing an ice mage and I want to help him craft some gear to improve his build. He is currently using a staff (endless winter) with good facets and he already has some runes he enjoys.
But he is missing out on the extra stats that a shield can give, so I was wondering what are the benefits of having a staff versus a wand + a shield? Given that both weapon types have access to the same runes and that their physical damage is roughly equivalent, why would a caster use a staff? Is it for the move-set and to play more battle mage oriented?

I am planning on buying the game but I was wondering if there is/will be an endgame or is it only a campaign game

[SPOILERS] Cut dialogue in the Nameless Pass scene?

Warning: Spoilers for Early Access story content ahead.

When Primus Bainbridge and Speaker Lucian are talking up on the ledge in the Nameless Pass, there’s a really interesting pause in the dialogue right before the Primus gets thrown into the gorge.

He begs, "Please... I am a servant of the King!" and then there’s about five seconds of dead air before he says, "...Curse your God. The fire awaits us both." -- Then he's thrown into the fire.

That pause feels almost too long to be accidental. Maybe I'm crazy. It makes me wonder if Moon Studios intentionally cut or hid a line from the Speaker there so they wouldn't spoil too much of the plot this early on.

...It would make total sense if the Speaker responded to Bainbridge's plea ("I am a servant of the King!) with something like, "...And I am a servant of the Born God!"—which is what prompts the Primus to curse his God right after.

Personally, I’m firmly in the camp that Seline is going to end up being the main villain. I think she’s either the catalyst for the Pestilence spreading (I mean, she kind of is anyways with the Breach) or will eventually merge with it to become the Born God itself (rather than her character having a classic redemption arc).

Did anyone else notice that awkward gap in the scene? Do you think it's intentionally omitted dialogue, or just a dramatic transition that I am overthinking in the current build?

Thanks!!!

Have new classes created unique feeling build crafting?

I like build crafting but not “my numbers went up” as much as elements interacting to produce gameplay that feels unique… is that what’s happening here?

Is it worth buying before 1.0 ?

Hello, I just saw the game on sale and it was on my wishlist for a while. Do you think the game is worth buying and playing through right now or should I just wait the 1.0 to get it ?

The game is being reviewbombed rn so it's hard to get real reviews on steam

Summoning Torn

  1. Is there any difference what specific Torn item you sacrifice?
  2. More items = more rewards, but do the enemies get stronger?
  3. Is it only the bosses that give Torn items as rewards?
  4. Is there any point in scouring the area and clearing it of enemies or should I just go directly to the boss?

I've only summoned once and it was in the Nameless Pass. Fought one other boss previously but this was just after the campaign so I guess it was an auto-summon by the game and the boss was in The Shallows.

My 2nd character (ice mage) just hit level 30 so just wondering if I should play with this build a bit more and farm more stuff or if I should start on a new build. Thanks!

What's this game problem with screen resolution?

I bought on steamdeck and I wanted to check the game on 1080p on a monitor, but no matter the settings, this is the only game in the library that doesn't go to 1080p. How? Why? I tried modifying settings on steamdeck, forcing to 1080, Unckeck "apply to internal monitor". Also tried Launch option SteamDeck=0 %command% as to not detect as a handheld, no use.

Any ideas?

made a mod to unlock the second Crucible — full run

The second Crucible looks like it has already been largely built, but it still is not available through normal gameplay. That felt like a shame, so I made a mod to unlock it and recorded a full Boss Rush run. The YouTube video linked above shows it in action. Spoiler warning: it includes the hidden boss Broken Vow.

The run has nine floors: seven boss encounters, a checkpoint, and a final reward room. This is a fan-made unlock, not an official release.

For context, a boss-rush-style Crucible was already mentioned in this earlier Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoRestForTheWicked/comments/1f85y8b/crucible_next_stage/ I am sharing the mod and a playable demonstration, not claiming to be the first to mention the mode.

are armors just esthetics?

i was wondering if, since u can just change all the perks on any weapon or armor, if the armor sets are just esthetics and u can have pretty much every perk on every armor of the same group (leather, cotton, plate)

i know theres a difference between groups, but what about armors in the same one?
is there a way to check which perks are available on each armor without rerolling?
