Ack, where are you in the game? Which enemies make problems? As I'm not really a warrior expert - some fights depend on your resistance or the weapon you have: freeze? stun? poison damage?
Ever thought about mixing skills (survivor+warrior)? Even a weak weapon can be dangerous if you use the poison skin/weapon skill - and I used to kill weak enemies in melee with a simple dagger. I've had all sorts of weapons with stun, life drain, freeze, lightning damage etc.
Why don't you use the animal statuettes? Orcs don't attack spiders e.g. - you're very fast as a frog - have a good AC as a beetle etc.
I agree, you need a good armour - I didn't, but never found a mithril plate?
And as a mage I used th pause key so often that I had to buy a new keyboard: Div - (or my temper to be exact) cost me already 2 of them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />
Good armour has 410 AC, never found one? There are a few unique weapons/armour that can be quite good. did you have bad random luck in all of them? Here's a small list:
Mithrils are dropped by Elite orcs in the East Rivertown area adn from imps in the Wastelands
Bracchus Stormcaller armour (Verdistis sewers)
Dragon Breastplate
Silver-/Larian Armour
Vulcan axe (same location Verdistis sewers)
Mage dagger (Ars Magicana)
[nocando] Sword from the impolite knight (2-hander, near Stormfist Castle)
Blade of Chaos (2-hander, east of Dwarven village)
Singing Blade (2-hander, Ars sewers, killing reward)
Nobleman Sword (1-hander, sacrifice reward)
Sword in the Stone (Dark Forest, if you don't mind the people being killed then)
amulets, rings
Axe of Maiming, Axe of 100 Crusades (Wastelands)
God of Swords (Wastelands)
Harpoon of Atlantis (Shrimpo)
Dragon Shield (there are more good ones, but random then)
Rak-Sheen (imp castle/Dark Forest) found good plate leggings there
list will be endless, I suppose.
