Devilian

[Wubsie]

Just got setup in Devilian today. Running 3 Berserkers. Considered Cannoneers, but something about semi-naked 10-year-olds as my characters just does not work. We'll see if the choise of melee will be the ruin of me.

No previous experience boxing action RPGs and limited experience with them in general, so this is fairly interesting. :P

You said you haven't multiboxed any other action RPG, so you can't compare, but I would assume that you picked the most difficult class out of them all to start off with. I imagine that non-ranged classes are either going to take additional damage because you always need to be right up front, or more difficult creatures are going to take longer to kill because you're going to be trying to dodge everything, rather than sitting back with ranged and nuking from a distance.

To be fair, I don't know how "direct" the Berserker abilities are, and they could all just be AoE abilities with no requirement to be facing the right direction. The only reason I was really able to tank anything with my Evokers is because I eventually got that heal (although I have no idea if it actually stacked or not--never tested it).
