Can I still saved this one?
I just entered Act III, Level 24, Strength-57, dex-51, vit-61(life 280),
power strike=18-129, throw=22-65
with 11 pts to use.
Skill trees: Bow and arrow=0, Passive and magic= 1 point in all except,
critical strike, penetrate, pierce, and valk, Javelin and Spear, each in
Jab, poison jav, lightning bolt, plague javelin, charge strike, 4 pts in
power strike. with 10 points to use.
My merc is a fire arrow=level, damage 18-42, defense 326 she has been
steady, want to keep her.
Using a alternative attack will work for me, with other characters I've
had
trouble with lighting immunes, in hell it seems everyone is lightning
immune. Thanks for the advice, I'm having fun so far.
