Yeeks Are Squishy

[minstrelofmoria]

Yeek; so called because that's the sound you make when you see how low their Life Rating is. Any advice on how to keep them from dying in the early game? (I've heard they do well with the Archmage class . . .)

[errantstar]

here is advice on how to play yeek: dont


e: ok serious advice, life rating matters less if you play classes that don't take damage to their HP. some examples include archmage, necromancer, arcane blade, solipsist (kinda) and sun paladin off the top of my head. But shalore is a better race for literally every class yeek does well and even has a better life rating so lol.

Yeeks are OP.
You are getting 2 more really easy dungeons early game and have +15% bonus to exp.
This results in overleveling of Yeeks which makes possible to keep up with dungeons level until late game even on insane difficulty.

[HellFalcon]

Not as OP as Shalore/Ogre/Halflings of course.
But still they are really great. Especially on higher difficulty levels.

My advice with the Yeek would be to make use of classes that can benefit from the increased Global Speed. Ster didn't mention Berserker or Marauder - which through being able to get more actions can kill more under Unstoppable. Berserkers in general also get +3 hit points which helps out in the health department.

Actually Yeeks get very powerful due to their 15 percent more exp, and get nullifications to some of the most annoying debuffs and etc. Once you reach a certain point gg. Just need to get there =p and git gud.

xp penalty does nothing lol, you get enough xp anyway to hit level 42 and life rating/racials do far more for your character.

i didnt mention characters that benefit from gspeed offensively because every character likes gspeed, and survivability is very very important and thus classes that have really strong defenses that don't rely on HP make for the least painful yeeks

Yeek is my most played race due to that XP boost.
They level fast, have good racials and get 3 free dungeons to power lvl before even hitting trollmire which also nets them more artifacts from bosses/randumb drops.
Their stats tend to shoehorn them into PSI classes however.
I've had great success as wilder(WILL), cursed(WILL and quick lvling for cursed aura and loot) and even a brawler(class talents are OP, got them early and they up con/str passively)
The only downside is that you'll likely trade some lives in early game for all that power(likely to subject-z).
If you want an easy time play the solipsist and mind sear everyone with dual stars.
don't bother with con and focus on skills that nulify dmg/change dmg to PSI.
an easy strategy if possible is to teleport/movement-infusion/slip by subject-Z and exit his dungeon.
If you get to eyal through subject-Z you should be on easy street, steamrolling through early lvl trollmire and norgo's lair collecting more artifacts and loot/free lvl ups.

Alternaitively this can be done with the wilder/summoner class if unlocked.
you're HP isn't as important early game when you can distract enemies with minions.

Um, unless they changed it don't you just rod of recall without aggroing subject Z to get out painlessly?

At least, that's how I always yeeked.

LOL I always thought it would warp me out to where I came.
I feel like an idiot, especially for how many yeeks I've played.

WHAT!? YOU, BLOODY, WHAT!?

No...that can't be right...that...no...I've been running through the halfling complex all this time, under leveled and risking instant death for nothing?
