In the first time, I played an Archer Mage (as I witness the Character’s power and efficiency from other RPgames). I was ignorant and I had to invest widely on many skills (even I knew that several good ones is better than hundreds of mediocre ones). Just try and experience the skills. Dispite that foolish investment, I managed through the game with 193 maximum damage Watcher’s hunting bow (and without using Scorpion, well I only visited This Forum after I finished the first tour). Here are my statistics at the end of the first play (all is approximate):
Strenght (aprx) 120, Agility 140, Intelligent 70, Constitution 90, Vitality 550, Mana 720
I used hit and run tactic alot and get extremely boring and disgusted with this so in the second time I chose the Warrior. By my experience, I knew that very joy of the game lies in the excellent selection of weapons, therefore I decided to be a warrior to the extreme, skilled in Spear, Axe, and Sword (with wise investment on crucial skills and assidious magicbook-buying). At the earlier stage, I was a Spearman, but soon got bored, I switched to Axe. I have to confess that there are so many good Axes in DD that when I finally met Demon of Lies, the number in my axe collection is 6 (damn, all famous name: Axe of Maiming-poison, deathstrike, fire; Axe of Vampire-Mana and life drain; Slasher (I use this very one to kill the orc that requires it-7500 exp is trivial to lv 26) and the Stupendous Axe of a Hundred Crusades—150 max damage, Mana drain, Frost, Deathstrike...).
