So there were two more deaths (though _not_ my grandfather), then I got called for jury duty in the state in which I go to college only a couple weeks after being called for jury duty in the state in which I live outside of college, then other events similarly designed solely to waste my time emerged and refused to go away.I'm back for real now.

I'm playing on a laptop mousepad, so usually action games suck - took me about 20 attempts to get familiar enough with the system to pass level 2.- Golden apple bugs when you click on it in the item shop - it displays the cost of the last item chosen- With Gely, half the shots I try just fail, even with sufficient attack speed (~4) to do them. I'm clicking, not holding. Also know it's enough because some of the time it works.- Probably better to show what stats and perks mean as far back as the character select screenOnto balance, played the revenge Gely build (use the cast-on-hit items, eventually got two Gaia Vests) which seems to work fine. One big thing though, Gely's Judgement bolt wins over Toxic shot by miles. From what I see, pierce attacks hit anything in the line - toxic shot may double damage (3x shot), but one hitting bolt splits into 5 that rip through the entire screen, aside from Taurus it's always better (no idea how poison even works from player).Funny thing: I got the 5th level beast (Leviathan I think?) that gives you those orbs for getting hit. Impressive fit with my build. Also, I had a period with Gargoyle where I just tried to crash everyone to death with the defensive matrix (by then 50% damage reduction?).Heh, EL you're in comp sci? Me too, second year in computational biology. My advisor's going to kill me once he sees my 'break' was supremely unproductive... he might want his moneys back

Anyway, more importantly, Toxic Shot is great for an Agility build because its fire rate becomes pretty ridiculous. If you try out an Agility Gelyan and still think it's underpowered, that may be a different story, but you were using Endurance instead of Agility.EDIT: Okay, An, um, new version doesn't work. Projectiles don't fire and enemies don't appear.The menu is nice, though.

(EL) Enemies appeared on a new game but not on my old save file. I'm guessing it's related more to the level than the save file, though.

o answer your question about player's poison, Toxic bolt's poison deal about 400ish damage per second at basic level. Each point of power increase poison damage by 48 damage per second. Passive bonuses from beasts (Hydra, behemoth etc...)and equipment increase poison damage further. External attacks (such as cyclops perk attack, forest egg's poison blossom) stacks with rider's poison infinitely, so theoretically, on longer battle, poison will get stronger and stronger if you stack enough bonus onto

I have yet to notice Neraine's Agility-based "counter-attack" effect.This seems like a problem.Again, bosses really should have 100% drop rates. It's very anticlimactic to fight through a tough level, spend half again as long killing an even tougher boss, and just get a stone or two to show for

I'll reiterate one more time because it's really important: bosses need 100% drop rates for their items. A: It's really lame to do a whole level and get only two stones from the boss. B: Items that can only drop from bosses are really lame to get otherwise; for example, since Cancer has a 25% drop rate for the Shining Skull, you'd have to replay his level an average of 12 times to make the Grim Reaper. That's...pretty fucking ridiculous. For reference, I've never once gotten a single Shining Skull without dual-wielding Lady Lucks and farming Cancer (and still couldn't ever get more than 1), never gotten more than one Illusionary Mirror without excessive farming, never gotten more than three Doom Stones without excessive farming, and never gotten a single Dragon Eye (I don't even know who drops those things).In other news, Neraine is beas
