I haven't done much with him lately, still level 54. But I decided to drag him out to the arena in DR again to see how it goes.
Only lost once out of the 15 matches because my connection hung....everything snapped back after about 30 seconds and a champ had me prone and down to 12 health. I couldn't cast anymore so I had to surrender.
Only change is I moved from my 7x/T1 SWDW short-sword with lightning flares to my 6x/T2 FCW falchion with earth flares. I miss the outrageously high lightning flares that hit at times, but the extra weighting and DF from the falchion seems to cleave through the targets better.
Only creatures giving me troubles are the champs with padding and high DS and the few creatures that might spawn with a ranged weapon and their offensive DS is around 340. That matches my AS range, so it takes a bit to STOMP and whittle them down. Most runs take him about 7 minutes.
It's kind of dull. I don't know how folks do this over and over again.
