Hi SanaTex, and Saril,

What are the character names, I will copy them over to our dev server and take a look - maybe adjust the scaling or offer some respec advice.

Hi SanaTex,

Really sorry to hear that. Certainly not our intention to make the content that frustratingly hard.

Hi Staril,

I took a look at your character and your skill points are distributed in a way that doesn't get you the maximum combat damage or health. A lot of players distribute the points the way you have before getting to the harder content and running into trouble. I have put together a couple of builds and some screenshots I think will be helpful. I am showing your original build - I hope you are ok with that, if not let me know and I will pull it down. (a lot of players do a build like this at first though!)



Starting Spec: With the points distributed across a lot of different skills you don't do as much damage or have as much health as you do if you focus on a single damage skill, and put points into the healthy skill.




Suggested Spec 1: In this spec I focused the points in health, strength, and strike. The healthy gives 37% more health (which is going to be a couple more hits in battle). The strength boosts your overall damage, and the points in strike give a maximum hit of 2478 up 32% from 1697. You do lose a little from not having points in armor, but the end result of this spec is you do about 30% more damage and you can take about 30% more hits.




Suggested Spec 2: In this spec I put 5 points in furious and 5 points in impale. This is a little more complicated build to use because to get max damage you need to use furious first, and then impale, and you have to have a little rage saved up because impale takes 30 to use. With this setup your maximum 1 hit damage goes up to 11992, but it takes 2 turns to use that so its 5996 damage per turn. In this build you have a little less health than the first suggestion but the extra damage often means you kill targets in one hit so you don't need to be quite as healthy because you take less hits overall.

I hope these are helpful for you. I realize you don't want to respec, but as you get further into the game the content does get harder and the difference between doing 1687 damage a hit to doing 2478 to doing 5214 makes a big difference! Not to mention being able to take a few extra hits.

Hi Staril,

I have your character which I copied to dev, I set you to the first suggested spec. I just fought the 4 wolves and beat them soundly. Are you clicking a wolf to target it to focus on one target at a time? or are you letting it randomly pick a target? That would also make a very big difference. Also please confirm you are using your skill from the skill bar and not just letting it auto attack. That would also make it much harder.

Hi Staril,

I tried again as your character, and while I did loose the first time against 4 wolves I won the second time no problem - A little bit of bad luck on target choices and critical hits...

You DO have to use the strike skill for each of your attacks. The auto attack skill does not do a lot of damage. The early game content is easier and designed to accommodate players as they learn how to use their skills and abilities in game. You MUST use the skills as the game progresses or you will eventually end up against monsters you cannot defeat.
