2. with the summoning dolls (the skeleton). I summon it, the party takes 3-4 steps, the skeleton turns red, and after another step it disapears. how am i suposed to use the summoning dolls then? act like stationary turrets?


3. in the act 1 - barracks it's a military merchant guy who gives u a quest an a reward a very nice sword. this sword looks (on the characters) like a one handed sword, but in the inventory it looks like a 2 handed sword. what is it? 1H or 2H?

4. is the wisdom skill worth putting points into?

1)I think it is how fast the item degrades (loses durability) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

2)The summoning dolls only have a limited range, so they can only stay in one place. (that is why I don't use them)

3)I got a 2H sword, but it might be random and based on your luck points.

4) OH YES!! it will increase the xp you get when doing quest and killing mosters

1- About DegradeQuality there is no exact description available but it must be something about the "how fast an items durability goes down" my opinion!

2-The Summoning Dolls are binded to theirs summoning area and have limited movement access depending theirs summoning point!
You can use them a)Against strong oppenents as helpers b) poor trap finding victims <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" /> c)Portable Carriers

3-If you can wear a shield in the other hand then it is a one handed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

4- Depends on your character (if magic user then probably yes) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

There is a summoning doll skill you can learn to increase their range.

Even maxing Wisdom, you will not get enough experience to gain an extra level by the end of the main game, but will level slightly faster. Each character would have to learn the skill to get the benefit. Since you can unlearn skills and gold shouldn't be a problem, learning Wisdom is more beneficial than leaving a large number of spare skill points until you decide where to put them.

3) Deathknight Claw is a clawmore, and thus a 2H sword. BTW, the only way to find out if weapons are 1H/2H is equipping them and looking if the shield slot is grayed out.

That DegradeQuality.. it's present on some items. Some used (not full durability) others not used. On other items (white or yellow) it's not present at all.
