Skill Advice - anybody?

Traute · 05-13-2001, 04:46 PM

I'm playing a single male Whiskah, who's currently a lvl 35 Assassin about to start Collasium. He's got one free slot on the skill screen. He hasn't spent any skill points on Prowess, or Stealth or Pickpocket, and I'd like your opinion which of those three you would get.
He circled through all the classes but Monk, and got stinking rich by selling self-made dragon arrows (with five additional blessings). So he's maxed out in everything but Gallantry (8) and Deathstrike (5), and he can train Deathstrike now, as he has just completed the third Dojo Quest.
Prowess would increase his speed, but he's rather fast anyway. Stealth would make him next to invisible, but he's using Invisibility a lot, as it increases his damage. He could pickpocket fiends - at least in a few levels - for some ankhs for my next party.

So, what would you do?

I'm going to let those with wiser opinions advise you!

(sounds neat!!!)

Given that you're using the "Invisible" spell...put it in Prowess, IMO. It'll serve you better.

Agreed, Prowless can be very devastating to your foes. My last assassin was making over 120 damage from the sword of Argus and about another 80-100 damage from a Main Gauche +2 (12 in sword, gallantry and prowless with both weapons blessed to max).

Prowless will allow you to strike 2-3 times before your ennemy even realizes that maybe he should strike back. If you do heavy damage, he'll be dead before you know it.

Then Prowess it's going to be. I could even get a second one, like Stealth, after maxing out Deathstrike at the Dojo, as DS is the last on my list.

Thank you!
