jamestown93: in my opinion i think the thief is way better but i stuck with the paladin cuz he was free, he dies every 5 seconds now and i have to ressurect him constantly, once i leave the caves im going to get the dog i'm at lvl 20 and still in act 1 i started yesterday and played non stop. and the same thing happened to me that purge and curse disease never did a damn thing!
what works good against the spiders are is ranged wepaons, don't let your companion run up and get poisoned that part was such a pain lol
lothar69: hmm.. yeah... and I'm assuming that the thief is in fact a thief (as in the class). So perhaps he's a ranged fighter as well? That might actually be a good thing because sometimes the AI gets stuck in choke points whens they're both trying to get into melee range. what works good against the spiders are is ranged wepaons, don't let your companion run up and get poisoned that part was such a pain lol
I get the feeling from what people are saying here that I'm going to regret not putting points into spell schools/books. Currently I've only put points in to get levitation (2nd rank). The rest of my skill points have gone into non-magical. Currently at lvl 16 and I'm journeyman (rank 3) in ranged combat, but now each point costs three skill. Perhaps I should lay off getting that to master asap and focus on magic.
But yeah.. your companions are useless against spiders unless they can one shot them. I've been trying to kite the spiders with mixed success... between the lack of light (trying to target them in the darkness) and your own pathing going on the fritz at times. Anyways, I managed to kill them all and get to the second level.. I'm assuming there will be more.. but I hope I'm wrong.
