eff resistance... it takes an age and a half to get to your next armor requirement no matter what. you're better off only using belts and having really high dex

I appreciate all the advice but I guess what it all boils down to is I just want to know exactly what the skills actually do. Sure the description on the skills page is damn good, I just wonder about people who actually use them to their benefit and can tell me how. no offense

I don't do critical resistance, and I think I'm fine. It's hard to say, though, because I'd venture to guess there aren't any characters close enough to mine to allow an apt comparison. In the end, as headbustin said, it's randomlands; just do whatever feels the best to you.

They are not a complete waste. You need one lvl of skill in each of the 3 def skills to negate one weapon skill of your opponent. Example would be if you have a weapon skill of 11, and all my def skills are at 2, your effective skill in that weapon for our fight would drop to 9.

Now it would seem that def skills are a waste but there is a time when training up one lvl in each def skill is faster than one lvl of skill in your weapon. Thereby giving you a faster combat advantage than if you only trained your weapon skill.

Try figuring out how fast it takes to increase each lvl and you'll figure out when to train def, and when to train weapon skillls.

the thinking mans smokes peterson.

true until your at the point where you can train a few levels of resistance before you can train a single stat in anything else. It does help getting the upper armors, I rarely use a belt anymore, the weight of the things slow ya down i think.

good point! how does the inventory weight effect things like combat and criming?
