Episode 3 of Penny Arcade Adventures out on XBLIG today! Also on Steam!

godmode · July 2012

I haven't exactly been exploring the multiple jobs at all. My current setup is:
Gabe - Tube Samurai/Hobo
Tycho - Elementwhatever/Gentleman
Jim - Crabomancer/Gardener
Moira - The shoe one/Apocalypt

And that is how they've been the entire time. Are there any other really neat jobs I should check out?

Dinosorcerer is pretty great. had that and Gardenor on Jim, so that when he got all his cool repeating stuff cast, he could turn into a T-Rex (or something better that I won't spoil) and wreck shit.

Romanian My Escutcheon · July 2012

I've beaten the game on Steam, just downloaded it via XBL.

It is the best of things.

That is a pretty good idea! I might steal it.

I just got to a major shift that I won't spoil and have been wrecking the place with the following builds:

Gabe: Brute/Gentleman/Hobo (it amused me greatly to mix those two and they balance each-other admirably)
Tycho: Scholar/Elemenstor/Apocolyptic
Jim: Necromaster/Gardenor/Crabomancer
Moira: Gumshoe/Tube Samurai/Cordwinder (I crank her speed up like crazy and use interrupt moves and slow spells to hold back enemy attack)

There are hells of viable combos though. The game is really well-designed. Not the biggest fan of the music for whatever reason, though. Otherwise I'm having a great time!

I miss the discussion of rat disease though

TankHammer · July 2012

One of the hobo powers summons a swarm of rats that gives everyone hoboism.

Discuss.

godmode · July 2012

If an enemy has more than 20k HP, they gettin' hobo'd.

Bumfight does crazy damage to hoboed targets and ignores resistances, in my experience.

Kuribo's Shoe · July 2012

my Gabe is a Brute/Tube Samurai/Crabomancer

Tycho's a Scholar/Gentleman/Apocalypt

Jim's a Necromancer/Eleminstor/Dinosorceror

Moira's a Gumshoe/Hobo/Cordwainer

tried to keep it as true to the characters as I could

you know, without making Gabe a Diva/Delusionist/Slacker

TankHammer · July 2012

I felt like Gabe's already a good fighter so I gave Tube Samurai to another party member just to not go for the obvious.

godmode · July 2012

Switched Jim to Dinosorceror and it is wonderful

babyeatingjesus · July 2012

I bought this because I read about it being on everything. Imagine my disappointment when Steam told me it's not on mac yet.

The wait is terrible.

But I will wait. And replay 1 & 2.

Shorty · July 2012

if you don't make Moira a cordwainer then you have missed the greatest opportunity

The Betgirl · July 2012

just finished this game and it was so good

This. By the time I beat it she was going 3-4 times as often as most monsters.

Gabe-Brute/Tube Samurai/Gardenar
Tycho-Scholar/Elemenstor/Apocalypt
Jim-Necromaster/Crabomancer/Crazy person one
Moira-Gumshoe/Cordwainer/Diva

All of Gabe's stacked STR bonuses, Tycho's Magic, Jim's Defenses, and Moira SPEEEEEEEEEEEED.

WeedLordVegeta · July 2012

Tycho's stats actually seem to be fairly naturally even to me, so I'm trying to experiment with the Scholar's Balance and Tube Samurai.

It's...going well so far.
