I just created a couple of accounts and was planning on doing an Intel wiz and an elf wiz all DeX (around 21 dex). I figured they can both use spells and the dex wiz would have good dmg output from throwing weapons.
I haven't played in a while and don't know how the game differs from end game 15 years ago. Is this duo viable for end game dungeons or should I use an adv/warrior type with the wiz. If I do make a tank is there a min Intel needed to shrug end game spells, should I put some in dex so I can connect with a 2h weapon?
Thanks for any advice you guys can give.
There are way more options now than before..
You can go Wiz-Wiz / Wiz-War / Wiz-Adv …
So pretty much any duo is viable for end game dungeons? You aren't required to have something like a high end tank to get through bottle neck fights?
Some caves and some fights flow smoother if you have a full group of 6 so you can provide max dps asap to "Finish Him" faster.
From what I've seen, not a lot has changed. ASGW's are going to be the best end game hitters. But, to avoid some of the problems you're talking about (less endurance than AEGW, no Int to shrug spells) you're going to need good gear. Well geared ASGWs, will be beasts.
But, other types of hybrid builds seem a lot more viable now, and less dependent on gear, but won't be as powerful end game (assuming fully geared.) From what I've seen so far, I'm a firm believer that the game has viability, even at end game, for builds that balance utility. But, I'm not even 100 levels into my first two chars (went AIEW/ASGW just cause it's what I'm use to) so I haven't started experimenting yet.
