I tried making a very dwarfy character, but I am not sure what skills to choose.. any help?
i've got (not sure on exact names) mace mastery, assassination, dodge, astrology, blood magic, archaeology, and...
something that must not be important because I can't remember itI forgot BERSERKER RAGE (it's pretty awesome). So far I'm doing quite well (and I'm kind of starting to resemble a legendary hammerer).
I've got a bunch of crit and dodge and I have a chance to knock my enemies clear across the room (maxed assassination and dodge with the first 4 levels, and boosted mace mastery with the 5th). Oh and in case they actually get to try and hit me I can dodge them completely, counter, and/or hit them with the basic astrology buff. And I never run out of mana because I only use it on that buff and get it back whenever I kill something. It's pretty awesome so far (about 1/3 of the way through the second level). You guys got me all worried when I ran into a Deth on floor one... I cleared the rest of the floor, came back, and killed it in 3 hits. Did the same to the next 7 or 8 I met on the second floor.
More dwarfy than me would probably be to swap out magic skills for shield and armor mastery skills. And probably get smithing and/or tinkering. Oh and has anyone run across the recipe for deep omelettes? 4 diggle eggs in an ingot press gives you an omelette that heals you for 60hp!
