Grinding for the RoLS just got a whole lot harder...

Well, when i updated AT, i was in the middle of grinding for a RoLS. But upon attacking a shadow gargoyle master, i looked at their stats.
They are now immune to criticals. Not sure if the trainers are, ill have to check

Try building a non-critical character. :D. Much deeper, balanced w/o relaying on criticals.

Far as I knew they have been immune to criticals, but I've been playing the pre-release test version. I always just assume that any mob that may be made of stone, or associated with mobs made of stone, are immune to criticals, lol.

All I can say for those having a hard time with any mob is...

Go somewhere else and level up because you aren't ready for the mobs you're fighting now. ;)

If the Shadow Gargoyle Masters have actually become immune to criticals but weren't before, and you're having a hard time with them, it's time to go level up somewhere else and come back when you can beat 'em. ;)

This makes me think that importance of RoL has now increased. I just dont get much hit with using RoL + corpse eater. 0.6.11 monsters too cant do much damage :P :D

agreed & grinding for a RoL as we speak...

:twisted:

Polished Sparkling Gems: 205/1000
Small Rocks: 178/500
(no Magic Finder)

i would also think a Rapier would work in Dual Wielding, (v0.6.12)
with a nice dagger in my hero's offhand?

:twisted:

and yes, criticals are useless in some area's...
so i keep a gear-set in my inventory to swap into when in places like this.

My secondary build is to drop my sword.

Maybe I'll finally pick up a QS Dagger.

HECK. NO.

I'm having enough trouble getting over a 20% penalty to block.

40% is right out.
