Hi Meahdros,
Yeah, Redemption proves to be a quite useful skill in 1.10. It significantly reduced the amount of potions that I need. I happen to have it on slvl 10 because of my skill boni, and the 1 point in it was very well worth it.
I must somehow have overread your lightning absorb, sorry. Yet resists in the 60's still seem a bit low to me, no harm intended. There can always be the unexpected conviction boss around, and with hefty magical attacks in 1.10 (let us name Gloams, Balrogs, those cursing undead mages and some of those fire enchanted, lightning enchanted, multishot - bosses; I'm sure there are more).
Redemptions no good in the heat of the battle imho, though, it's too slow. But it's surely useful if there are some resurrectors around. Getting rid of the corpses - maybe the friendly necro in your party would not at all appreciate that.
Any ideas what best to do against Iron Maiden? It happens to me once and again that I haven't seen the mage yet, and I just started to zeal, then I see the flickering flames above my head and next thing I see is my death. No wonder, with damage output going far out in the 2thousands, and hardly 1100 life. If only 3 of the zeal attacks hit, my chances are slim.
I mean, any ideas besides '95% dam reduction' or 'just be more careful'. Sometimes you can't be careful enough.
Thx,
Greetings, Fragbait
