Nirth: I play on Easy, it's probably because of that. Its extra damage is against demons, not undead too. Considering I'm in the middle of Act 2 I would have preferred undead but I assume I'll meet more demons in Act 3.
What I don't like about the skill points is that they aren't linearly, you need like 4-6 skill points to increase the level from 15 to 16 and nowhere does it say so as far as I know. I guess this continues to increase so at level 19 to 20 it requires 10+ or what?
I haven't used a magical box for the purpose of acquiring skill points yet. How many do you get per box? I've like 10 of them, only used once against Judge Vallarian as he 1-hit me and my party with his 2 spells-per-second-throw and I had done all quests prior to facing him.
Hmm. I had read from somewhere in the forum that some epic items only appeared in Hard Mode. Never knew that Hard Mode also crippled them.. Thanks for the info.

You are right, I'm new in Act 3. In Act 1 & 2, it is very useful to have additional damage against the undead. I have yet to see any demons (aside from a few exceptions), but I'm positive that they will start appearing more in Act 3. That's why you'll need it more in your playthrough.
After 16, you need 4 points to increase a skill by one point, so don't worry.
I never used a genie in a battle. I rely on my own "weapons" myself :) True, some bosses in the game (and even some non-bosses) kill you in under a second. It's about micro-managing. Your position, your summons, your followers and the last but not least, your spells.
Every genie gives you one skill point. You can see additional info about it in the "Infinite gold, bug or intended?" thread I opened in the forum. It's just under this thread.
