Preliminary report on holy freeze:
Tonight we hired Razan at level 35. Gave him Goldskin for the resistances, Woestave for the extra slow target by 50%, and Howltusk for the knockback. We decided to do a baal run as a test, in a two player normal game.
Immediately Wellgunde ran into one of the frenzied ice spawn things and died. It was nice having 120 stat points, but I figured that a no vitality amazon was probably not viable, at least the way I play. And while I did not want to assign skill points, I further concluded it would be nice to have a decoy and a valkyrie. Also swapped out Razan's Howltusk for Rockstopper.
Frozen things were fairly fun to deal with, but Razan's range is not that great. I trust that it will improve with time. I could not tell if the slowing effect from Woestave was really doing anything. For items like Woestave that slow target by some percentage, does anyone know when the slowing is applied? Does a creature have to be hit in order to be slowed?
At least Wellgunde did not have much difficulty targeting things (remember that she has no skills assigned but passive).
