My lone wolf 2-h warrior at lvl 17 has about:
700-800 raw damage
1.8k hp
22 AP per round
20 ini
5.?? movement speed
8 bodybuiding 8 willpower
105% teneberum resistance , and 100% poison resistance. The rest can be up to 100% if I want (not using ruby or essence etc... to gimp myself abit)
Leech.
Enough Int to lower the cooldown of petrifying, lighting touch, blind and even invisibility to 1 per round and always lands them.
On hard difficulty I can run into a group of 8+ enemies and slaughter them all in the opening round (sneak 5 from gears and invisibility OP) then laugh at the boss because there is no cc I cannot resist. When I am done laughing, I use nullify resistance, cast oath, mayb bless too then flurry the boss.
So yea.. endgame mages are very underwhelming compared to that. And lvl 17 is not even endgame. Plus, robes are ugly.
