As with Gothic 3<\/a>, calling this a midpoint isn’t quite accurate since the game’s only as long\/short as you want it to be. Half the map is cleared<\/a> though so it’s close enough.<\/p>\n

At level 66 now and I experimented with both magic and ranged combat to see what ended up being the most powerful. Basically, it comes down to this:<\/p>\n

Melee: 20x Exotic Hachet\/Armor Opener (no element) at 200 Str = ~5500 Damage
\nMelee Boost: Strong Hand (Rank 10) + Berserk (Rank 10) = +500% Damage<\/p>\n

Ranged: 20x Whistling Death (no element) and 20x Ornamented Quiver at 200 Dex = ~11100 Damage
\nRanged Boost: Overdraw (Rank 10) & Multi Arrow (Rank 10) = +100% Damage and +4 attacks<\/p>\n

Magic: 20x Eruption (Earth Rank 15) with 5x +Damage\/+Level\/-Cost = 9390 Damage for 1174 Mana
\nMagic Boost: 20x Concentration (Air Rank 15) with 5x +Damage\/+Level\/-Cost = +2370% Damage on 1 attack for 305 Mana<\/blockquote>\n

So melee is most efficient at low skill levels (you only ‘need’ Strong Hand and Berserk), ranged at high skill levels (you need all four passives), and magic is best for doing insane amounts of one-time damage (but requires a ton of vendor farming). I have not run across all the spell cards yet but the ones I have point toward magic being best as a support ability; Strength of God, Adamantium Shield\/Reflection Shield, and Grapple Ivy\/Freezing Wave are great at eliminating melee\/ranged weaknesses. Summoning seems to be near-useless since the best summons max out at level 30.<\/p>\n

Some other worthwhile things to know, in no particular order:<\/p>\n
