Thank you very much ... it helps knowing what is going on. I've reverted to a recent save, and just finished the dungeon.
One question though ... I realize it may be a while before I get to a an area where the monsters are high enough level that I'll start picking up XP again, but I'm concerned that I'll keep having the problem of leveling up faster than the monster levels can keep up with. That's why I'm wondering if I need to cut back on the Wisdom skill points.
In the Battlefields 3 dungeon, 90-95% of the monsters gave no XP. That's an estimate, of course, as I obviously didn't count them. The only monsters that gave any XP at all were the Ancient Biters, and there were only a few of those (maybe 4-6) on each of levels 1 & 2, and none on level 3. Actually, there was absolutely nothing on level 3 (which I know is possible at least for the quest monsters & items).
