Hi Raze. You helped me with a performance issue a while back. I just ended up playing in on another computer; the game is awesome.
Yeah, you can cumulate curse which I think is its saving grace..
At level one or two I think it consumes too much mana and although it freezes the enemy in place for a moment, its too slow to be of good use in a heated battle with other baddies closing in..although I suppose with certain elemental spells using curse can be quite helpful in the same situation.. I decided to play using only path of lore skills.
with little elemental ability its been hard to find a good use for curse, a skill which decreases the enemy's elemental resistances.
At level 30 my charachter is still breathing which says that its possible to get by with little to no attack-based skills.
Quite welcome, as I was burning to play as a charachter with only very high level odd 'edge' skills. I have collected some magic skills in my quests which really help my charachter in battle.
I've found that using level 5 blind with level one summon skeleton wall does great with bosses.
