I just beat the game for the first time. Started with a warrior using a 1-handed [nocando] sword doing max 106 damage with the Dragon armor. I made the Holy Amulet as the Holy Sword wouldn't come close to matching my max damage with the sword I did have.
I ended up at lvl 49, just shy of 50. My stats were:
w/Heaven's Blessing(4)
Strength 175 209
Agility 158 190
Intelligence 10 11
Constitution 114 145
Vitality 1364 1550
Mana 507 510
Attack 135 161
Defense 125 147
Damage 147-195 160-208
Armor 340
L.Res. 106
F.Res. 133
P.Res. 120
S.Res. 120
(EDIT: Oops, formatting problems. First number of normal, second is enhanced with Heaven's Blessing lvl 4)
The following skills were maxed:
Sword Mastery
Shield Mastery
Augment Damage
Augment Defense
Enchant Weapon
Spiritual Damage
Identify Item
Wisdom
Magic Barrier (thanks to Dragon Armor)
Lightning (never used, just found/bought 5 books)
Lockpick (thanks to Dragon Armor)
With this character, only the bosses at the end were any challenge, and even those really weren't with the exception of Josephina. She kept disappearing on me and was really giving me a hard time. I finally realized that just becauase I couldn't see her, didn't mean I couldn't kill her. I couldn't target her but she was still actually there and so could be hit. Thus, I engaged the Whirlwind attack (and a number of Super Stamina potions) and proceeded to whirl my way to her death. By the time the battle was over, there must have been 20-30 summoned Deathknight corpses in the battle area who also fell while I was trying to get her. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Anyway, the game was a lot of fun. Might retry it with a mage at some point.
