Hey gang I am a re-returning GS3er who brought over my empath from the olden days. In spite of his age, he is only in his 30s. Currently, he is a CoL master, but I was considering changing to GoS for the Sigil of Power/1107 exploit. My question, can a level 30s pure caster manage GoS with a reasonable numbers of death? Is the SoP/117 exploit as good as it sounds?
A little about my empath. Currently, my empath is of the runestaff, 1106ing variety. I tried using spell-aim but I found that, at my level and race limitions (giantmen aren't the best bolters,) bolting didn't work for me. I've been focusing on over training empath and have a nice CS. I plan to switch to switch into some SA once bolts became more pratical with my mana pool.
I have a similar leveled GoS Wizzie. He had no problems mastering GoS since the warcamps are pretty easy at low levels and he was fortunate to find another pre-teen GoSer who was a warcamp fanatic! In spite of that, my Wizzie spent a fair amount of time slogging his way through warcamps solo. As he hit the 20s, he found it near impossible to solo the warcamps because of the nasty AoE spells and the increased CMAN usage of the Grimswarm. My Wizzie was constantly dying and subsequently has given them up.
I think GoS might have more utility for my empath than CoL. I don't, however, want to switch over if it means that I will never master because of never finding a party/partner and inability to complete camp missions. Has anyone carried a similarly leveled/built empath through GoS and how did you survive the war camps?
Oh, and cause I know someone will say, I will not re-skill as a swinger. My empath suffered through days when hunting was painful for an empath and once he got his spells, he hung up his falchion for good.
