[Dismal Slough, Oteska's Haven]
A deep layer of mud covers what must have once been a dirt walkway leading between a collection of decrepit shanties and shacks constructed from planks of weathered wood. The doorways to the structures have all been battered and broken. Fog drifts among the structures like the ghosts. You also see a greater bog troll and a greater moor wight.
Obvious paths: north, east, south, southwest

My paladin is level 39 with strength elemental defense 1 2 and 3 and thurfel's ward on top of self spellup. (including of course, and never excluded reguardless of wizard spells, Zealot.) 5 seconds normal swing RT with his greatsword but at the time of this log, was extremely encumbered even with 3 ranks in surge of strength (lots of boxes). Those critters in rivers rest are nothing to turn a nose at, the steam and kettles are a nightmare when encumbered. The hags are 42 the trolls and wraiths are 39.


Anyway, i went overboard with 1630 because i had the mana, but most of the time i have pleanty of mana to cast 1630 with three or more critters in the room (11 ranks in summoning lore, only lore i trained him in) and then mstrike. Rarely fails to please. But thats how i hunt, thought i would share.

Curious how your attack strength was so high consistently for level 39?

"Curious how your attack strength was so high consistently for level 39?" -- Corlith

Let's see what we can deduce.

AS Source


182 41 trainings of weapon skill, 2 ranks apiece
21 probably at least singled in CM
15 WizStrength
30 Zealot
14 3 CMAN ranks of Surge
15 glaes weapon
24 Patron's Blessing (we know that he knows at least 30 Paladin spells)
20 at least some STRength stat bonus


321 Total


So there's 99 points still unexplained. He doesn't mention a society or Bravery or Heroism, but they're all possible; a little bit more Enchant on the weapon as well as those three could easily move it up another 60 to 70-ish points.
