I love that Unblessed is an option - make it a bit more viable by adding some basic Passive abilities for things like bonus health and regeneration, armour and resistances, attack speed and weapon damage and maybe movement speed and dodge chance?
Would also be nice to add the option to turn barrier into a permanent buff that reserves energy.

unblessed is like no mastery at all? it's crazy people are even doing that yea. but maybe it's supposed to be a massive self imposed debuff so it would take away from it getting extra skills?

I didn't realize there was a class for not selecting any mastery. If that's the case, if they added an achievement for beating the game without selecting a mastery it could prove a fun(?) challenge

no, i dont know so i was asking. because "unblessed" sounds like that. or did you mean just choosing 1 mastery?
shell pasture
Yeah, I just like the idea of taking on the gods as a more or less normal person haha but I think it should still only be very basic support and passives so it can scale better at higher levels.

But the unblessed is all about challange, and you already have plenty of ways to make it much stronger by just boosting core skills.
Giving you passive... "bonus health and regeneration, armour and resistances, attack speed and weapon damage and maybe movement speed and dodge chance" makes you another viable class, which kills whole purpose of having a more challanging run than with masteries.
hallow niche
well especially with 1 mastery i dont really see the drawback. you can just dump all of your points into that 1 mastery that doesn't necessarily make you weaker.
so i dont see a reason to compensate you for that

What challange? You still outscale the content through gear alone. You can run through the game without spending more then attribute points for the gear needs and beat it. This comes from a player who isn't realy good or fast or experienced. Act 1 is just to simple to deliver any form of difficulty at all.

Oh my bad... we need challanging content before we speak about challanges at all 🙂

@obtuse flax No, I mean, The guy wants to buff unblessed. I said it doesnt need a buff.
And you say the game is not challanging. Hence me asking, whats your point regarding the topic you are responding in.
sand elk
He is replying to your claim that unblessed is all about the challenge.
That's why he says (paraphrasing) "there isn't even any challenge, really"

You said it's all about the challange and i say there is no challange in the content we have atm. With what we have right now there is no need to buff or nerf anything because everything is far to early and easy to talk about it ^^.
I just want to say that we need a challange to talk about challanges ^^.

ok thats fair. It was just wording on my part. Playing unblessed is harder or annoying than blessed. In this context doesn't really matter if the game itself is challanging, because playing it unblesses will always be harder than with masteries. If you buff unblessed by giving it tons of passives, then you make it on par with other classes, which takes the entire idea of it away.

Sure it's harder and annoing and Core masterys are a big waste of time and self gimping if there are not more points to spent then we can put into the mastery trees. You are 100% right with this.
From my point of understanding Core skills are just there to compliment your builds at a certain point and intentionaly lack power and give stuff like better mobility, tankyness or some minor buffs you don't care about at all.
I WANT my godly blessings to be better and more intresting then good old human "I hit things often and hard and see what happens".
I WISH core skills had more synergys to interact with the skills we use so we can start to make some builder/spender playstyle happen but right now you can sustain spamming exhaust skills that deal 40k+ dps.
Maybe it would be neat to get a Core Mastery point every level up to spend it freely but even then I would only buff movement and barrier because the auto attacks are realy bad no matter what.

oh I am definitely with you on this one. Core attacks do too much of the same what many skills in masteries do. And I am definitely in for more cool synergies.
I am defininitely against giving additional stats to a player just because he/she chose to not choose any mastery, like OP proposed.
obtuse flax
Yeah but putting points in stuff that is bad by design feels terrible 😄 .
To elaborate a bit... I like to put free points into Dash if I have any because this offers some form of profit. I never use Barrier because you can facetank everything at +5 (or kill so fast it don't matter if you are tanky). I never ever use auto attacks as soon as I can spam my skills.
To me 80% of what Core offers is crap.
sand elk
I've said it in other threads, and i'll say it again. The game would be more fun if "core" was deleted, and the various attack/dodge/barrier benefits were instead added as theme-appropriate passive skills within each mastery
