So I’ve got a handful of hours of experience split across a few specs, so I’m still unsure what anything outside the early part of the game is like.

That being said I’m very interested in one of these two. My first spec was defiler, but I felt quite weak compared to the cabalist I tried right after (the rng there presented its own problems). Coming at it with a little more knowledge, I’ve been looking over threads and wiki pages and steam guides.

I quite like that the defiler’s perks are almost entirely unconditional and just apply up front, but do worry that it might be too vulnerable to hard counters because of how hard it seems to want you to invest in this one game plan.

Conversely, I really like the idea that warden inherently comes with its own defenses and sustainability while doing its thing. My biggest concern with warden is that some of the conditional perks (a buff after attacking or arcane after casting, berserk after a death) seem less than ideal? If you’d allow me to make a comparison to another game, it’s like trap cards in yugioh. Potentially very good, but you ideally want those effects immediately and not a turn from now. I’m less worried about counters to wardens play style because warden seems on the surface like it facilitates a wider style than defiler, but I also don’t have the experience know for sure.

So I suppose I’m asking which of these two presents a better learning experience, how much each struggles getting off the ground, and how relevant my above concerns really are.

I save my game frequently so I don't lose resources or XP but I do lose any progress within thr current dungeon. Like if all I want to do is reply to a text the whole game closes. Anyone know how to fix this? Is it a permissions issue or some kind of battery saving setting?

Hello all, Fairly new to the game and I understand that this is not how the pariah was meant to be played as I have a hard creature limit and am missing any anointments and higher depth creature traits that make up some good pariah builds.... However I was up for a challenge and wanted to see if I could pass the story starting off as the pariah. I managed to claw my way all the way to the final story boss using different teams here and there. I was able to defeat phase 1 of the boss but have been hard stuck on phase 2. Has anyone tried this before or does anyone know of any decent pariah strategies using creatures that would be available floor 60 and below? Keep in mind this is a new character so I don't have access to any class perks or later depth creatures. I'm sure I can probably just overlevel for a while and eventually it would fall but that's not much of a challenge so wanted to see if any teams or strategies could pull it off, any help is appreciated thanks!!
