HA! I just started a new game on HARD level, thinking that normal was too easy.
I was level 20, and didnt want to go on with the lack of challenge I saw. in diablo 2 the monsters were easy to kill, but there were LOTS of monsters on the screen at once. in Divinity, I rarely see more than 6 monsters at once, and they die just as easy as diablo 2...
Hard level is working out well so far. Zombie jake is so brutal, I cant kill him at level 4. I will have to get more Vitality and better skills. These conjurers will probably kick my ass too. I can't melee things too well in HARD mode (not yet) but I am a bow/magic character, with sneak (survivor) so I do hit and run tactics. This is a good challenge. I figure I will have to get Freeze at 5th, and level up a few times killing the orcs (damn they are tough) outside town before finishing the catacombs. I can also sneak past the orcs, and make my way to Rivertown (think its called) around dwarftown, where the snakes and bees and boars might be easier to kill. Having some knowledge of the game, this second time through is interesting...
Honestly, I dont remember the Conjurer Lord too much in my first game. He didnt last long on Normal with my character: trained in bow x2, with 80 damage bow and Sight +10 or so. I would run and kill things at the edge of the screen with 2-3 shots of my bow. When I see conjurers, I focus on them and try my best to ignore what they summon.
