So I've played through the demo now probably 10 or 15 times. Out of
all the classes I've tried, I've only ever died once. Ironically that was
with the Defender.
Needless to say, when I did die, I was dumbfounded. How on earth can I
be a walking path of destruction with every other class, and then die with the
one class that is suppose to outlive all others.
Well let me cut to the chase, I died because I sucked.
Playing through a second time, now that I know the game and
have learned a lot of the Advanced Combat stuff, I was a wrecking ball.
By the time I finished the demo, I beat my personal best
time on both timed arenas. The trick was
equipping a really strong hammer and taking the third skill tree path.
The third skill tree path, at least in the demo, allows you
to reflect damage and best of all, deploy a Spider Laser Turret. That made the arenas a heck of a lot easier. Defenders also get all kinds of bonus damage
for using hammers.
So if you’ve tried out the Defender once, and hated it, give
it another shot using that path and a heavy duty hammer. And don’t forget your Ruiners!
