Ninjitsu & other Questions

MRG · #1 (**permalink**) 08-05-2005, 06:51 PM

1) Is it worth making a character that gets to use Ninjitsu? I would like to make a char that uses his/her hands & feet to fight with, but thats only if the skill is worth getting & putting points into.

2) Shy of getting the Sword Of Baal spell, are there any magical weapons in the game other than the staffs that those early lvl shamans drop?

3) Are there any good bows in the game? I read a post that said the bows in DL were worthless. Is this true? I don't want to know where to find then, just if there are any.

4) I know most of it is player prefference, but are there any 2nd & 3rd tier classes that are not worth trying to get? For instance, if you get & use sneak or backstab, does it actually work in this game? While I have the 1.3 patch installed & love the game, I have heard that alot of the skills & attributes are still broken. Such as the HONOR. Is this true?

Thank you in advance for any & all help.

Looks like i'll answer one of my own questions.

1) Took me awhile, but I got the Monk class & so I got the Ninjitsu skill which is actually great. It seems to do alot of damage. The downside is that it costs an insane amount of skill points to lvl it & the range of the normal & combo attacks is as you would expect not that great. You have to be very close to an enemy to hit them. Closer than even if you had a sword. I just made it to lvl 7 which cost me like a whopping 225,000+ skill points. Sadly my Int was low so thats why it cost so much. The Flying Kick, tripple side kick & Roundhouse are rather good. At least IMHO.

I'll post more as I get them.

3) Most of the bows are pretty weak. You can get a winter bow, which will freeze the bad guy, so it is nice to have that. Otherwise, they do not do enough damage.

2)There are definitely other magic weapons in the game. For instance, I've found a poison dagger in the theater; I know you can get some type of lightning staff off of a quest for (I think) the adept-->pally path which does pretty good damage compared with the normal crap weapons; and I've seen several posts on cold damage weapons although I don't know where to find those.
