So I'm lvl 19 now (I think). playing a Survivor / Bow / Summoner. My basic attack against baddies is summon my 5 skellies, run back and fire away. i also have one lvl of poison arrow for when needed ...
Here's the cheesy rub... I've somehow picked up two lvls of energy cage. One was via book I think, the other via armor. Using this in conjunction with archery, let alone archery and summons, seems extremely unbalancing. i can just keep recasting that thing and stay far from danger.
i haven't seen this on the cheesy tactics list with things like scorpions and frost weapons, both of which I avoid. So here's a warning... to make the game way too easy, take bow and energy cage.
the one question I have: will this become ineffective against bigger baddies (that is, if I dont go beyond rank 2)? I really wish i didnt have it learned, its way too tempting when a mob is taking too long to kite...
