Hi all guys,

 

before all sorry for my english, i'm italian so english isn't my native language.

 

Ok, i'm playing with a party o hard difficult with a melee wizard with a Tidefall greatsword and i have a lv 8 party.

before taking Tidefall i've used a lot Concelhaut's Parasitic Staff it was a great spell but now i have that superb weapon

 

My problems are on stats, really i don't know what is really useful and what not, because for me ALL are really useful.

I don't like reset to min stats so i'm trying to keep all at least at 10 so now i have

 

Str: 17

con 10

dex 15

per 10

Int 12

res 14

 

Human, living lands, wizard.

 

I can understand that all bonus, except maybe str, are really too low (to keep all at a good level nothing is exceptional) but i don't know what is really really useful for  a first line mage with a greatsword.

 

I open fight with Llengrath's Displaced Image and, if there are many enemies, Flame Shield.

 

What i should modify for you?

 

second question

i have to buy expansion: i should finish the game then buy expansion or i can play it now? 

 

Thanks all for answering me

 

 

 

 

 

You should have posted this in the character builds forum. You'll get more concrete feedback for you wizard build.

 

Expansions: WM I can be played from ~lvl 8 on, WM II after that. You can always enter the new locations during the main campain - they are not seperated games, but are embedded into the main game. You can always go back and forth. WM I & II truly "extend" the main game.

It's not very good to finish the main game and then do WM I - because then the expansions will be way too easy.
