Know the Underwater Oracle in the Dragon Spire that gives you the thing to move the two rocks blocking DragonShard #2? Well, it's worthless: My Whiskah Samurai, Athletic Level 4, jumped off the bridge and through the waterfall and landed behind the rocks; opened the chest and got the DragonShard without ever moving the rocks. Anyone else done this?
The Gripe? The Mavin Sword sucks. That Whiskah Samurai, Sword Level 7, has it and has yet to hit more than 8 with the thing, usually 6. My Katana +1 *ALWAYS* hit for 10, usually 12! I have yet to unequip the thing, just for sentimentality (hell, I certainly worked hard enough to get it), and I'm waiting for that possible 16 hit to finally rear its ugly head.
BTW, a final note: Don't underestimate Athletics! That same Samurai (my favourite current character besides my little Assasin) can /CLIMB/ the Dragon Spire with his Lvl 4 Athletics, to the right of Torin near the trees. Also, remember that ridiculous Scorpion in the Boogre Caves that gave you a billion Exp for killing it? The Samurai, who was only Lvl. 2.something at the time, just jumped out of the pit; I killed it with ranged magic. I think that besides the upper level Sun & Moon magics and possibly 2nd Weapon, Athletics is the best thing to get at least one of your guys proficient in. Thoughts?
