I've started another 1-h warrior on IM. This time AGI build. The start was a little slow as early weapons are weak, but the Magma Shortsword, Sonnet and Icicle turn things around, and later game weapons are even better - Hunter's Machete, Shadow Blade, Dancing Flame and Nanocarbon Scalpel...

Like I said, I'm not disagreeing. I just think the medium weapon sprite looks better! 1688516574 Do you think the extra damage of an AGI build is compensation for losing Infantry Training?

I'm not disagreeing, but the medium weapon sprite is the best. Full armour and Kite shield needs a proper sword or axe, not a knitting needle!

But he's gone for Infantry Training.

Charge 1 and Whirlwind 1 are very helpful, for crossing traps or when surrounded. Agility adds to Armour and increases damage (every second level). If you get a pair of gloves from the Grey Library, 3 is really good. If you want Flurry, 6 is good.

I like all of them. I like Cleric the least. I get bored with it. I also find 1-h warrior a bit dull, and staff mages. My favourite are the stabby rogue followed by the 2-h warrior. Archer rogue is fun too, but more challenging (not so good at kiting). Full sneak attack and stab are awesome...

Downstairs with the vampires is ok (if you use the secret doors); it's upstairs with the headless folk that has undone me.

I manage the Ark very well with a wand. It's easy to get very high resistances. And Death Cloud makes it much easier. Golems don't like the downstairs area.

I find wand with Death Cloud very effective. The knockback on a slowed enemy can mean it never hits you. It's a different style from staff and summons.

I found Adaon with a bow stunned people advancing into my whirlwind (when he wasn't dying).

What's about Death Cloud? That makes wands very effective.

I would have got massive criticals with that build (unless it's not permitted). Wand of Power with that is quite effective.

I'd have to live long enough to make an Ankh! Just died walking over a trap in the Maze of Lamth. Was level 7 and doing nicely... And I felt I should have gone to bed while I was ahead... Still learning that lesson.

Having played this game on and off for a few years now the only challenge left for me is Iron Man. Someone in another post described dying in Iron Man as a 'kick in the nuts'. I've got a lot better and can generally get to around level 10 without difficulty, but I'm still dying through silly...

I quite like doing Town Hall Quests if I'm trying to get some XP and gold. They do scale with your level. Some (Ilmaran and Mercian) can be a bit tricky, but the Varsilian ones are easy and useful.
