Maybe I am an bad gamer! I found the figth hard sometimes.
I play in easy mode and I am very glad about the books solde sometimes in homestaed, which give me more points.
Maybe I have put too many points in repair/lore/crafting ... It takes a long time to kill some enemies. (Mushroms near prison in Hunters home for instance) I'am glad about elementals and spiders! I put them near enemies so they'll permanet attac only the called elementals.
My two casters stay in back and create new elementals if they are broken.
The ranger kill the the enemies from far. The Tank stand and wait until the figth is over. I use madora only in fights against lonly boss enemies.
