I don't use a shield on the first island. On the second island there is a shield that I in the lonewolf camp that has a lot of armor on it and I grab that as soon as I can. You need spirit vision and to have talked to the advocate but none of that requires any fighting.
Slynx was right about the masterwork rune too. That needs to be a priority. Also max your warfare and then your scoundrel for good crits. Make sure you are running savage sortilege on a wits based build. I think the first shield I throw (against ethiene in act 2) usually does ~1000 damage on a crit.
Hi, I just started playing the game with a friend. I am doing the exact build Tredvolt posted above for the shield thrower warrior, but I am having some trouble carrying my weight in the 1st island (we are still level 3, two players, me and a geomancer mage). Any tips on what to do on those 1st levels where we stack wits and don't have the shield nor warfare yet?
Thanks!
