| i am going solo with fighter(90)/combat mage(83)...just remember that the key words for survival in solo (or not) is to acquire items that grant health/mana regenerations; health/mana stealth as many as possibe. you will be surprise how much those could help you last long in battle. (almost invincible, no more potionaholic). the good example is set items : undying warlock.
for combat mage, the major concern is to raise damage as much as possible: intelligent has it limit (like my case, a multi class with low intel), and slow; try to search item that give +% to combat magic.
high strength/or intel only make you feel strong; but it play so little in determ ine damage. a good melee can make it up for the lost.
finally, don worry about the drops on certain atribute while trains on the others; that is just normal. (i have my str drops for 10+, while my combat magic raised from 75 to 83). thanks, |
