errr...you did screw up the spelling of warrior. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
seriously, the orc camp is one of the most difficult areas in the game for a melee char. there are a lot of big brawlers in that area. what i did with my sword warrior who was also having a hard time there was to constantly shop for a good sword in that blacksmith near ars magicana (geoff?) until i found a good [nocando] sword. when he went back to the orc camp, most died in 1 hit except those chiefs. that's where freeze came in handy.
another char of mine, a female warrior whom i turned into an archer when she found a fierce long bow, had a very easy time in the orc camp. she created havoc & destruction with splitting arrows, poisoned arrows & freeze. what i did was whenever i saw clusters of red dots in my mini-map, i fired volleys upon volleys of splitting arrows in that direction. splitting arrows iirc has a low mana cost. elven sight also helped a lot. i had mine at 2 then (lvl 3 now. the monsters won't know what hit them. i cleared the orc camp all the way until the fringes of the dwarven village. by the time it was all over, not a single orc was left standing, and i went up from lvl 16 to about 20. i simply then walked casually to poison the orc water supply. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />she's lvl 28 now & rising fast. i had a much easier time with my archer than with my warrior.
