EDIT: I was wrong on the action points thing. I'll look at this again.


I did a test with a warrior customized to start with 10 Speed. It was not very effective. Sure, she got 3 more AP, but her chance of hitting enemies was ~20% less and very noticeable. She whiffed three times in a row on the level 1 crabs. So that's good at least that a pure speed build is not an easy win button.

I'm going to try out two generic standard warriors and see how well they do, and then I'll make an assessment of the overall combat difficulty.
