kiy - i would NEVER insult you! ...though i can't wait to beat the living tar out of ya in act 3!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> (that
is where you are isn't it??)
sky - the holy water will make a permanent potion when you are also carrying the correct alchemy plant(s) and have 4 levels in the
'survival/alchemy/extract' skill. no effect on charms. do a search in the forums for details.
grim, you're right. charms would be a great way to enhance your attributes even early in the game. but i haven't touched
mine yet
charmless , and kiya can tell you that in DD i didn't use my charms 'til the last maybe 3-8% of the game - much the same
as raze reported (and where the heck is
he hiding??!!??).
here's zan

love the ebay thought grim! ha!!!
bravo, you must keep in mind that even though i'm not yet out of act 2, i have done (i
think! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ) everything! so even though i
have 5 levels of undistributed attribute points, i DO have 17 levels passed out! that's a whole lot of points.
note these examples of my 'base' attribute scores -
base scores.
recognize i don't add attribute points to constitution (or intelligence for that matter) and very few to speed. my primary focus is
strength and agility with a secondary focus on survival.
also be aware of this, attribute points are effected (greatly) by what you're wearing too.
look at these individual items for both
dk and
zandurra . personally, i will always opt for the attribute gain
over the higher score of the item (ac of armor, damage of bow, sword, etc.).
don't disregard the 'speed', 'accuracy' and 'initiative' ratings! these are potentially very important. a bow may do more
damage, but have a minus 6 to speed where a lesser damage bow has a positive 6. this could be a BIG difference.
everyman - all holy waters (for me) found in act II BFs, except one for quest completion.
just for fun, these are without drinking any of the 'normal' potions, but drinking all the permanent potions (12) and distributing
my attribute points
DK and
zan yeah, dk is using his alternate shield -
alt items not bad for the end of act 2 i would think! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" /> (but no, i'll not be keeping it this way)
