The red numbers you see on screen do not always tell you how much damage your curse does over time.

The actual damage dished from your curse varies with monsters.

The right way to test is to curse a monster and see how much total hit points he loses because of that 1 curse. Do this many times with ...

"There is no way to power level a character in this game."

- there is a way. my level 3 dummy char "followed" my solo sorceress to the elite level. if I can find a player willing to play that level 3 char, my solo sorceress can power-level her up on Elite. My level 3 dummy got to lvl 6 after my ...

You did not miss anything there. Or say, you only missed the end dialog choice.

Also, this dialog (it makes no sense to me) and all such dialogs (only a small # of them make sense) make no difference whatsoever in your game progress.

it won't hurt to kill Valdis again. A waste of like 30 minutes or 1hour... but nice drops for free ...

i have played more than several parties, and I used to change my party members as I progressed in the game. I switched to solo now.

my most successful parties:


1) top 1: my "Alice Solo" (master sharpshooter solo). no pets or henchmen. she's near the end of the elite level: only the mines and ...

just kill him the same way.

it won't necessarily take more time, because you now do more than 600k / 90k = 7x damage that you did at merc level.

Listed weapon damage is not everything. This game is very well balanced: A melee fighter is supposed to do more damage on paper - that's because a ranged fighter kills mobs faster on average. In fact, a dual-wielder melee fighter does highest listed weapon damage.

But my question is: on average ...

At any point in your game, if the best thrown weapon you have found does 100 average damage, then roughly the best bow you get should do up to about 150 average, and the best crossbow you have found should do more than 150 average.

A ranger has the strength to solo entire game with ease.

Perhaps like most, I thought a melee warrior was the only class capable of solo'ing through the entire game at all 3 difficulty levels, until I actually solo'ed a ranged char.

My thrower solo'ed through the entire game at the mercenary difficulty level. She assembled a party for going through the ...
