Hi again!

What do you guys think, is dual wielding worth or not? when you wield one weapon you attack 1 time for 595 energy, but when u use 2 weapons, you strike 2 times for (800 + 595 -(100 skill*4))= 995 energy, but u lose lots of dv and pv from shield. Thus, its the matter of comparing 595 en/hit and 497.5 en/hit with a penalty to dv and pv.

Whad do you guys think?

Also: i ve been playing an assassin with heir and enjoyed poisonous dagger a lot. Does poison stop from working if you poison a monster and leave the level? Seems like not, ive killed a nasty master swordsman this way:poison and run, repeat. How would one use poison in the best way? Isnt it too weak for the monsters with like 300 hp?

Also: how do you increase the stealthiness of a character? More dex? however, invis ring is good for this purpose)

DW: Matter of preference, although many say that on paper, it's not worth it.

Poison: Poison stacks. A poisonous weapon is a real blessing for much of the game. Not many monsters actually have 300 HP as far as I know - SMC denizens eventually, molochs, stronger monsters in deep CoC, bosses...

But then again, poison is useless if you can kill your target anyway. It just poisons the corpse then. People tend to poison missiles and shoot them at tough bosses instead.

Stealthiness: After your stealth is at 100, only invisibility can make you stealthier. The normal stealth doesn't have that many visible effects: monsters may not notice eventually, so you may run away, but this doesn't always work.

Poison stacks? it means that every poisonous hit works independantly? poisoning 5 timesin a row will do 5x poison damage? thats really something that i missed. Does the poison work if you leave the level?

I think time freezes on a level if you leave it, so if that's true, then no, it doesn't. Well, you may have missed it while poisoning enemies, but try getting hit by a spider five times in a row, and it'll be clear to you.

Poisoning is best vs. boss monsters with lots of hit points.
It really helps drop them much much faster.

Duel-weilding is only worth doing for flavor.
Combat effectiveness of DW is far below either weapon/shield or two-handed.
The main exception to that is needle/sting which is very effective as long as you have the find weakness skill.
