Okay thanks, so realistically there's not much point in putting too much more points into Agility for now then. I'll have to experiment with the difficulty setting too. What is the actual formula for your chance to be hit by the way (I am using the disk version)? The manual doesn't say anything and my googling attempts are failing me.
This started as an experiment but it works very well with a bow seeing as it's so powerful. I cleared out the entire Orc camp around level 18, Baluk was the only threat as he moved fast but I just froze him, ran and fired, he went down fast. So far the only real trouble I've had was encountering Melora and Victorio a bit too early, the traps before the Engineer and fighting the Engineer (Hell Spikes), in the end I just paid him off rather than trying to fight him. I don't really use spells as my mana is so low, I mostly rely on Passive skills.
This doesn't really work as well for mêlée with daggers and Assassin's Kiss, as though I take enemies down fast I also can't take many hits (virtually no armour of vitality!). It'll probably get harder in the Dark Forest and Wastelands but by then I'll have higher Vitality anyway. I wanted to try something different as I've played it through as a Warrior before. I would say maxing Agility early as a ranged Survivor makes the early and mid-game easier than a Warrior with taking a mix of Strength, Vitality and Agility. I'll see how I get on in the harder areas and let you know if you're interested, there isn't too much written about playing as a Survivor.
