Woo-Hoo!!! I finally killed the elder orb!! Man, was that a lot of darts!
I ended up taking my monk in there and pelting him with darts and running around, with the boots of speed. i didnt think they would make much difference on my monk, but they gave him that extra edge he needed to throw those darts at the end of a run. Sorry about the multipost, but this would have been kind of strange coupled with my earlier post. i could still use those tactics, though. Thanks!
