Hi, I'm looking for some newbie tips.
I currently can't afford any equipment and my battle plan is...
1) whack stuff with 2h
2) cast heal if low (only spell i have)
3) ???
4) get insta-gibed by next wave
Is there anything I can aim toward to have an easier time?
Is a end/dex/agi (in that order) 2hander decent or silly?
Higher levels and better gear.
That's it.
Once you get a full set of somewhat decent armor, the damage taken will decrease, and you'll get better spells with higher tiers.
Also, your proficiency will increase, whcih increases how much you get out of your spells and damage done with weapons and chances to proc the special attack from that weapon style (in 2Hs case, the domino strike).
As for stats, for a 2-hander, your most important stats are endurance for survivability, wisdom for mana and mana regen, strength for damage and survivability, dexterity for damage and proc chance and agility for action speed. Listed in order of importance, according to my opinion. And intelligence for mana, which gives 1/3 mana compared to wisdom, and no mana regen, so that's the very lowest stats.
And of course, put your ability points into health tanks, to increase survivability, and mana tanks to increase mana pool for heals and buffs.
And fiddle with difficulty, so that you get fights that don't kill you.
The arenas you have access to at your level are all pretty short, so they shouldn't be that hard.
