Im Soloing a blade right now, and finding it rather easy ....
against my expectations.
I would have thought them to be hard to keep alive, especially in the beginning, but once your lvl 11/12
(happens FAST, its only 220.000 per level), you drink a
potion of thievery, sell it to a black merchant, sell /steal etc. make a LOT of money, get bracers of AC 3, Girdle of Hill Giant strenght and your a fighting god !!!
Buff yourself up while activating Defensive spin, gets your armor class down to around -12/ -18, at this point you can fire off all your spells with ease. THEN you engage Offensive spin, attacks will do their MAX. damage, you get extra attacks per round, with about
15-20 dmg. per attack, going to around 40-50 if you critical hit ON TOP of that. Im loving this guy [img]smile.gif[/img]

If you love your Blade now, wait till you get your ToB HLA. :D :D :D

Blades are fun to play with. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sure blades have disadvantages, but its how you get around them with the clever use of spells, abilities, and tactics. [img]smile.gif[/img]
