Hey Guys, definitely appreciate all of this knowledge thrown down in one place. I've got a question regarding solo'ing in early levels.
Currently I'm in Kurn's at LVL 13 (I'm an Ogre) and I am having a terrible time trying to fight blue skeles. I have the same problem trying to fight blue burynai's in the pit as well. I can't seem to land ANY hits with these guys. I may get one or two solid whacks in with melee but there are looooong stretches of just misses. This is becoming extremely frustrating. I don't expect this to be easy at all but it seems like I must be doing something wrong because I have about a 40% success rate with killing anything at the moment.
My standard approach right now is pull with tainted breath, throw on sicken and drowsy and whack away. I used to be able to just throw on tainted breath but it seems that 12 and 13 is becoming nearly impossible to kill this way. I've got a springwood club in my main hand, shield with 10ac and some stats (str and something nothing crazy) in off hand and a spear with +wis in range. Rest of gear is mesh armor picked up in front of guk, so nothing special.
Is this the way of things? All the guides and forums I look at make it sound like there is nothing to this lower levels, but I am barely making it right now. Should I change up my routine with something more efficient?
Thanks for the advice!
