I can't "to be quiet" here ... sorry if my words don't make any "sense"
In DKS it's not so important how much damage you can do in one hit !
Most of the time it's more rewarding, more fun and also give more satisfaction if you search (each battle) for a nice combination of skills to defeat the enemies .
For example some very useful strategical skills (with only 1 or 2 points in it is already enough for the profit) are Hide in Shadows, Rush Attack (especially against rangers), Polymorph, Stun Arrows, Healing, Firewall, Regenerate, Mana Efficiency, Evade, Ranger Stealth, ...
And if you like the following skills, go for it, but remember to upgrade them each time you can (via investing points OR via yewellery or other equipment!) :
Charm (charming the Healer or Captain !), Blind, Fear, ...
And a Summon Ghost (use fireballs + can Heal you)/Undead/Demon + your Creature is always very welcome help !
Example 2 : if you've the luck to find a Ghoulish Head (Rush Attack/Fatality skills!) for your Creature, be sure to give it a go when you are planning to make an end of the life of Amdusias !!
