I just hit level 12 and already dropped 10-points into energy.
Without a doubt, I am going to focus on energy and vitality. I havn't decided what my base strength or dex will be yet. Right now cheap armor is doing the trick but I know that won't last long.
I have 7-points in Oak sage and that boosts my health from 111 to 178. I have 1-point in Artic Blast to slow creatures down. So basically I am just all melee at the moment and fighting with a mace.
I just got Cyclone Armor for 1-point so that's really nothing yet. I'm waiting on Twister to be my first main attack spell. Then I was just going to follow the tree down to Tornado and Hurricane.
So what you are saying is that I won't make it to Hurricane in single player? I was just trying to keep it simple and follow one spell path and the only thing extra would be Oak sage.
How high of a level can you become in single player?
Edit:
Oh yeah, I do have a few Druid Helms already that let me cast other spells. I can change into a Werewolf also, that would bump my health even higher ontop of Oak sage.
Edit:
One other thing...
My save folder has four files in it.
Tempo.d2s
Tempo.key
Tempo.ma0
Tempo.map
The times are different on the files, but should I save them all on a floppy? If I am not happy and want to go back, is this all I need for saving a character?
