What weapon to use

elvis-werewolf · 10-26-2004, 03:34 PM

Ok, so my Kensai has hit lvl 13 and it's time to bring on the cheese...

But what weapon proficiency should I give my Kensai/Mage at lvl 1 mage?

Staff, Katana, and maybe Dagger.

The only place for a Level 1 Mage is as far away from melee combat as possible. Since, as a Kensai, you can't use Darts or Slings, you'll have to put a point in Daggers and hope you've got enough Throwing Daggers (or one of those cheesy returning ones) to last until you get your Kensai half back.

I honestly don't think it matters what you put that proficiency point into, you shouldn't be using it anyway.

Like Six said, the only place a level 1 mage belongs is AWAY from melee combat. I just have to hope that you have enough support to carry him until you get your Kensai levels back, or that you have enough money to buy scrolls until the same happens.

Thanks guys. And don't worry - he's going to be safely at the back. I just don't like the idea of wasting the proficiency, even though I have no plans to use it
