Ulta Ending facepalm.

[Slagathor]

Yesterday I finally nearly completed the Ultimate Chaos God ending. After a prolonged fight with Andor Drakon where I suffered and had to cure over 20 corruptions and all my stats drained to single digits I won the fight.... and since I was a Duelist I forgot to switch to the Trident of the Red Rooster before finishing it. I just though people should know.

Damn, feels bad man. I never had a legitimate win, so I am not really able to say more that that.

But this Duelist thing makes me curious. Are you suppoused to melee late game enemies? The class description makes me think so, as there is huge penalty towards training ranged weapons, and despite having Concentration they don't look like a good spell caster class.

Yes. Duelist is god-tier in melee by level 50 with a good artifact. Any class should be able to melee 75% of enemies you meet in the endgame. But most will need arrows to deal with things like greater molochs, greater titans, lich emporers, balors etc. Duelists are so bad with arrows I only used them when I had slaying ammo available. So in the final fight I meant to go 1handed until the end then switch to the Trident. I forgot to do that and killed him without wielding it. Which deprived me of the ultra ending.

Only a few classes will be able to melee anything they meet on D50. I'd say duelists, beastfighters, and barbarians for sure. Also any melee class wielding needle+sting or the trident. Most of the time in the endgame you kite the things that can take out more than half of your health in one swing.
