Advice for my first VSEn
I have persisted with the dagger as I don't have any enchant weapons scrolls to make a short sword better. And would need to pump my short sword skill to 12 to get min delay. (Should I be doing this anyway?)
6 headed hydra in the lair almost killed me. Its high magic resist stopped my Ensorcelled Hibernation and Confuse. Also had trouble with 2 headed ogres. Although my recent spells summon imps with the golem seem to help.
I actually know very little as to how magic resist on mobs works. As my previous casters have always been damage spell casters. Does greater spell power lower the chance of mobs resisting?
When I have a spellcaster, I try to get EV to around 25, and just keep wearing robes. But is this feasible with this char combo? As this is not a primary spellcaster - I kill things with dagger stabs? Getting high stealth has helped me more these last few levels.
Thanks!
