I'm about to start my second game (despite barely being into A2 in the first game, terrible habit in almost every game I play...) and I was wondering if this is viable or if I'm going to run into trouble later:
I was planning on making the DK a melee/mage combo using wands as his weapon to take advantage of the fact that he doesn't need much str for equipment (what's the highest str needed for a shield?). Then I was going to make the hero a summoner/archer, with emphasis on summoning. I'm afraid that all those summoning points might be wasted though with all the negative comments I see about dolls. So, will this combo work, or will I meet some point in the game where main hero is just too weak, or something unforeseen?
Also, can you use sharpen to increase dmg from wands? (it would seem silly, sharpening a wand, but hey! if it works...)
Thanks! (not enough parenthetical comments above to suit me, so this one is included gratis, using excessive parentheses is another terrible habit...)
Oh, also, I seem to remember reading somewhere that you get extra skillpoints in hardcore, is that correct, and if so, will the extra skillpoints make the character more viable or will the difficulty of hardcore be too much for dolls to handle?
