Honestly, such a joke.
On my 3 attempts to "Ascend" this tower.
My first I chose a ranger, which unfortunately I quickly discovered that the stats you gain whilst ascending (Not from the veteran) do absolutely NOTHING. Oh you got +2 spirit? Cool story bro, cos your mana ain't gonna increase. The ONLY stats you really gain are from the veteran. By the time I got to the CEO I was so weak, considering I had gotten +12 strength from ascending bonuses. COMPLETELY USELESS ON MY RANGER. I just got wrecked.
My second run I chose a knight, figuring hey. I got 12 strength before right? Well awesome. I carefully ascended the tower. Buying full HP regen potions whenever I saw one and saving my gold for when I met the Veteran. HUGE mistake. Not only did I fight 70% of the times I hit ascend. The rest of them were potions. I never met the Veteran, I never got any kind of stat increases what so ever and by floor 19x you just pitted me against wave after wave of Test Subjects which I simply could not defeat due to the complete LACK of Dexterity since you had never let me have a single stat increase or Veteran meeting.
On my 3rd attempt I figured I'd try out the sorceress. Since obviously non-magical characters seemed to be a waste of time. This time I managed to make it to the CEO again with very limited gold due to how completely squishy she was. But that wasn't the problem. The problem was that some how for some unknown reason he NEVER fails to dodge my spells. I should also mention, why on EARTH would you give Sorceress 3 of the rangers skill set? Dodge is useless on her as you shouldn't be putting points into dexterity anyway and Sidearm is pathetic on a mage.
You really need to look into some of this stuff before randomly spurting out a bunch of classes.
Also to mention.
Ranger dodge seems to do nothing, and for SURE the net does absolutely nothing on the CEO as he hits the exact same damage whether you use net of him or not.
Knight Bash is pointless, 90% of the time my regular attacks do the same damage. As for the 100% chance to block. Biggest waste of a skill ever. I do 20% increased damage, yet I can only do it 3 times and can do more damage with 2 regular hits than when I spam block-attack-block.
I've already expressed my feelings on Sorceress skills.
As a follow up.
Ranger Sidearm - 7-10 base damage. Completely fluctuates. Sometimes I can hit 10 twice, even though it's supposed to increase each shot.
Sorceress Sidearm - 2-4. What is the point?
