Yep. I don't know how that escaped me when I posted my "cheat". I did it probably 3 times and never noticed until later.

Speaking of slow - we had a brief discussion earlier in the thread about great swords and I said something about "yeah, but if I get in 1 hit, it's game over".
I found an azurite great sword last night. I'm also getting into the sweet spot with finesse that allows me to wear some decent gear with critical hit bonuses.
I gulped when I saw my first Thresh in Haxhi - then I hit it once and took 3/4 of its hit points.

This. I'm actually disappointed that I haven't found more magical creatures that are resistant to flame. Might make me change it up a bit.
One other note on flame - make sure you have SOME, even if it's a beginner weapon with +3 flame. There will be areas with spider webs that you can't access if you can't burn the webs away.

That's what I'm saying. I'm like level 15 with about 400 hit points - if I get down to 25%, a SINGLE MINOR heals me all the way to full. As long as I have about 10 on me or so, I can charge into any battle without worries.

I had thought about stashing some of that gear in my house just in case I decided to see a fateweaver and change my playstyle, but my Mage is just so badass I just cant bring myself to do another build yet. I imagine Ill be finishing the game out with all points put into sorcery.

Same here. I have quite a few points in Mercantile so I'm constantly hovering around 100K gold now, even though I buy 4K weapons just to see if I can break them down at the blacksmith bench and get some good components.
