Garrulous Glaahk BrownieMix Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I tried playing as a non-shaping Servile my first time through (on Normal), but I found that swarms would decimate me, especially because I hadn't put enough points in magic for almost any attack/mental spells to work. My spells never seemed to have a higher % chance to hit then around 55, and Daze barely worked ever. I got pretty far with a acid-tipped sword, but when I faced the spawning guy in the Western Okavano, I just got absolutely obliterated. I've restarted as an Infiltrator so my magic can start off high, but I'm still worried. In G4 I was able to get pretty far without really shaping anything...can this game really be beaten with a (mostly) solo character? Or should I switch to a shaping class and lead my creations to victory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Delicious Vlish Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 The Servile is ridiculously overpowered in G5, just like he was in G4. Exploit his strengths, (combat and magic) and use items to shore up his weaknesses. (Shaping) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Uberdhizon Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I got EXTREMELY far in GF4 with servile. I didn't make any creations 'cause I wanted to be a Trajkovite extremist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk BrownieMix Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Maybe I'll remake my Servile then - I don't think I put enough into Magic until it was too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Delicious Vlish Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Go with a generalist approach if you are playing on normal. Some leadership, some mech skills... Hold the phone. I'll do a servile guide in a new thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Uberdhizon Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Well, I was sort of exaggerating. I WOULD HAVE gotten extremely far into GF4 with a servile, if my brother hadn't bought the full game on HIS computer and hogged it. (Of course, I am still playing it, when he's not looking. Don't tell him;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk BrownieMix Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Thanks Vlish - I thought I knew what I was doing my first time through, but clearly I didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I got through on torment with a guadian and agent with the only place I used creations was the last two fights in the expert dungeon. Even those might be possible with a slightly different build since I wasted skill points on things that didn't work out. It helps to have creations to fix character build flaws.

Ineffable Wingbolt Dahak Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 So shaping is a character build flaw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Delicious Vlish Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 For classes who are weak in shaping skills, yes, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
