I got through the sewers and through the Stormfist treasure room to rescue Zandalor, then finally decided to go up to lvl 5 and release scorpions on the Succubus. It felt cheesy but it worked like a charm (you don't even come out of shadows when releasing scorps), unfortunately by the time they killed her, it pumped me to about level 6 and a half. I guess I can start on the council members now, I suppose I can use the same method if needed elsewhere (like with Josie), but it would just seem to take a lot of challenge out of it. I doubt there's really another way at lvl 6 though. I suppose it IS a survivor skill, and they had the chance to nerf it in a patch if they thought the power of scorpions was a mistake. Just seems unbalanced I guess.
edit:
Heh I went to Haunted Abbey and released 9 scorpions, they ravaged the place and I went from lvl 6 to 9 in about a minute, then to 10 in about one more minute. Went downstairs and released more and went up to 11, then released 9 more on the Engineer, took him out, taking me up to lvl 12. Fun stuff. I reloaded of course. Not a good option if you're trying to keep your levels down (for some unknown reason). I bet I could release 20 of them in one of the sewer areas and have it cleared out in minutes. Does anyone know if scorpions stop working after they wonder off a certain distance?
