Rock Garden physical damage specialist. Ended up playing Faithless as well. Would have been parched if I hadn't entered the zombie dungeon as a level 10

Another nice play through! Man, this thread is awesome. I get to see how everyone else plays various dungeons!

I know what you mean about the RBS. I hated it for the longest time, as well, but when the boss has physical resists it just opens up so many avenues for a physical specialist that it's worth the trouble.

[Kuranes]

Yup, and if you're only attacking higher-level monsters there isn't really a problem. The real problem would be clearing up popcorn with corrode, poison, weaken etc.

[Darvin]

Poison, and sometimes mana burn, isn't a big issue so long as you level up from your kill-streak. Corrosion can be handled (especially by warlords) if you don't take too much. The big one is weakening, which is utterly debilitating to a physical damage specialist. There used to be a level called "Deep Swamp" where the boss had 90% physical and magic resist, and the level was filled with Naga...

That level's easy if you had the new Binlor.

[Darvin]

Very true, though which side of the river his altar spawned on could present a complication...

God, that level sucked. So glad it was retired.
