Gear isn't that important at hero. Agreed. But Palan certainly needed his, and not just the axe, to be as amazing as That aside, Sierothe, keep playing, don't whine when you lose, try to learn
he was. One major reason he could come into the village alone, and kill
one of us while tanking the destructor is because he had so much +str on
him. With 700hp on the axe and a damroll over 100, it's not hard to turn down
a nice hp or damage ring for one that adds strength, save spell, dex, etc.
His pendants (heals and +4 str each) and other things added enough that no
single warrior skill would make him unwield his axe. I once saw him lose his
dual wield when he was boneshattered and whirled at the same time. If that
axe fell off, I could possibly see a giant bashing his enlarged ass to death
at the destructor.
along the way. It's very easy to get armor as a villager above 30th level.
At high levels you can get an ok weapon and find a good one on the mob or
kill someone. At lower ones, there's always someone stupid waiting to donate
to you. Sometimes you can't seem to even equip yourself at low levels because
you keep getting killed. (Danan's complaint earlier.) I know it's frustrating,
but sometimes it means you're being too predictable and hanging around where too
many people travel. And sometimes it means it's time to learn how to dash and
lore somewhere safe, or just time to go.
