First will i say i like the game, i love questing. its not hard or anything like that.
so here we go with my little list smile

1. mana leech is so overpowered compared to life leech, i can hit what i want and get all the mana back, but when it comes to life i can hit and hit for ever
so i gave that skill up and just use potion, crap skill to be so high in the warrior tree frown

2. i have been playing now for 6 days, and i rly been loveing the game so far but... i got two set pices droping for me (I will guess its the mage set since it say archmage) and i was thinking its only one set in the game and i was ok with it, then something happened.
i got 7 pices in a row that said "Hunter" and im a warrior as far as i know, whats up with that???? (it is probably a warrior set aswell, i guess i need to roll a hunter to get them to tropp frown

3. Even the mob melee have spell atack so they can kill me faster, yes ofc i have charge but i rly need to kill the healer or both of they are two first, if im not
doing that it can be a lost battle rly fast. the thing is the healers are runing away and its no way to controll my pet or my demon, so i can only charge after them and get nucked by melee or
i can take my chances and nuck down the melee as fast as i can and thake the risk they get healed.

Anyone else that have this feelings that is killimg me slowly inside?

Vesla, eh? Scandinavian perhaps? : )

1: Mana leech sure works well, perhaps too well.
As for life leech, I find it to work out nicely, especially when coupled with +LL enchants on gear. Always nice to see health go from 20% to 100% after whirlwind/thousand strikes or a jump attack critical! Coupled with regen/aura it should make any decent melee'er nearly unstoppable mid to late game.

2:
The set pieces you're talking about aren't random drops. There are four sets (five if you've got the preorder bonus) that I know of. If you find one part of a 10-piece set, all the other pieces can be found in that same area (fort).
Then there's a 4-piece set that you'll have to kill the fort bosses to get - notice that you *have* to mindread one of them to get the chest piece.
And the 3-piece preorder bonus set, that one will spawn right into your inventory when you start the game.


3: Some melee-mobs have ranged magic attacks yes; If there's alot of them I usually find a nice stone, pillar or doorway to hide behind. They'll run right into melee-range when they don't have line of sight anymore.
Healers can be a pain. How I take them out depends on the situation. If the above trick doesn't work and I can't target them due to the mobs in between, I usually jump, pause mid-air and charge-attack them. Then follow up with a jump-attack, or if it's a tough one, thousand strikes. They shouldn't be able to run away after that.
Also remember, jump attack have much longer range you'd think: Target and jump while the mob is close. If you manage to keep it targeted during the whole jump/descent you'll usually connect, even when it tries to run. They'll usually be knocked down too, depending on your rank in JA.

I pull the groups like this and i wait til my two minion is takeing agro, my spell caster pet will pull one of the warriors so i kill him first, when this happen everything is ignoring my second minion that should be a master to keep things on him, at this point i get annoy'd by a healer that i have to track down and he is allways some hiden place like behind something.

but this is small things in a big game, the diffculity in the game is ok not to hard. the quests have been easy so far and i like how the dragon works.(skills)

ps. thanks for the tips about the combo, i ignored thousand strikes becouse of the high mana cost back in the game but i gonna try i out for sure

Yeah, high rank 1k strikes cost alot of mana. But that's what the "op" mana drain is there for, innit ; )
