I would also recommend waiting for the next update, but if you end up with a few stored up skill points you could make a new save slot and try it out on an alternate build.

Plus: i would have to waste 2 skill points (on Hard hit and weapon accuracy).

I'm consentrating on getting a really high amount of Regeneration and HP instead.
right now i regenerate 4 HP every round plus the HP gain from hitting/killing NPCs. :)
RECOVERY TANK MODE!
... second round... i cannot understand you ... i have not seen any of those in long time :twisted:

I leveled up enough to get my 2nd level of Cleave yesterday and I'm enjoying it.

I can now use the Skull Crusher on everything except the Brutes and Arulirs, for attacking mobs. Admittedly, a lot of that is also from having a high base AD & AC, since I only get 2 attacks per turn before any kills, but its nice to have it finally be a viable weapon choice. Also helps attacking mobs with the ElyR since one kill will now give me 2 more attacks, although its diminishing returns after that. And of course 3 AP cost weapons like the DotSP and BSS are even more powerful now.

Even the Giant Hammer (10 AP attack cost) gets an extra hit if you attack 2 at a time! Assuming JoF, and 2 levels of combat speed.

I don't use the cleave skill currently but think it will be more useful once we do mob movement.

Whoa! Did Pyro just say that he is going to get the cleave skill? Doesn't that go against everything you have been saying? :-)

Yeah but when V7 comes out and the NPCs start mobbing you, you will really want to have cleave. For now i stil stay with my opinion that i wouldn't waste the Sp to get cleave, but when V7 comes out it's gonna be a whole new stratagy needed to survive.

I've demo'd a version where the monsters charge at you and it is very easy to get yourself killed. hahahaha

Happy hunting everyone!
