"cool story bro"! :D No, but it is, it was interesting to read. One important difference - DD isn't really a competition.

Lujo:
If you're really, really saying that the potions are fine unless used along with Trisword and probably a high attack class, then sorry but that's a non-issue :) At the very least, should look into the sword/classes before even touching the potions.

Well, sure, but the plain fact is - the sword could simply have a per level progression like the alchemist scroll and be fine. There'd be no end of whining about it, but that would be unjustified - nothing else would match it for damage that way either.

The potions I brought up because they, in fact, overly sinergize with completely front-loading the sword. It's, er, optimal... On anything... And they're a bunch of Whoopasess (I'm beggining to like calling them that, has a ring to it).

That's about it.

EDIT: Oh, but if anythings done with them, say, trisword only affecting health and mana potions - then there'd be no end of gnomes and halflings... Someone really ought to bust some sort of cap in that sword, and then it'd be off the discussion table for good. Or give it competition.

I'd hate to see the per level limit on the Trisword. I love that it lets you stack health potions to the end and use it all at once.

UNLESS that limit would work differently from the Alchemist Scroll, such that you could "catch up" later if you missed a level. Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing the Alchemist Scroll get that change either.

Said change would undoubtedly involve reducing the amount of health you get per use.

I'm with Lujo's idea of capping the Tri-Sword at 12.
We made an expansion and it is awesome. Really, you should check it out, especially if you're looking for some extra challenge.

All this bringing down the power of things every patch is annoying.
Vicious Gaan Telet is still sitting there and I haven't completed it, and every week a useful strategy becomes moot for a longer dungeon. If anything needs nerfing its VGT.
