Thanks for the helpful tips. I am going to reassess my fighter's build, enchantments and equipment, also my helper.
I am at level 35' but I am a sword and shield fighter, which may not be as fast as a duel wield,nor do as much damage, so I will redo, maybe, by skill points for better results.
BTW, DDED is lots of fun; I have only been stymied early in the game before I got into the flow, and am looking forward to buyin a copy of the expansion to finish all.
I appreciate your input. NM
