Take a few points in Loremaster and you if you have the charater with Loremaster active you will know who your enemy is. You cant expect from a lv 1 warrior to know everything about lv3 skeletons.
To the combat:
It's far to easy if you are on the same lv as enemys this can be the casual mode but not the normal mode. Range combat is cool, but mulltishot is too strong and splitting arrow doesnt hit one enemy. Whats bothering me is that you need the same amount of action points for a skill and with a "normal" crossbowattack
The bestcombat is with the mage. It's pure fun but not very challenging. Everything dies after 1 Fireball when you have pyromancer an 10+4 points in Firemage.
