I agree. Was 'playing a level 20 dual-mace-wielding archeologist on level 7 & could kill most things with one hit, and those that survived would die from counter when they hit back. Never needed to eat. To me it seems, melee is easier than magic, just bash away, zero tactics.
This Translation is All Wrong. Well, combination nerf, and fix. I didn't realize it was broke when I was using it, but I did know it was insanely good. Basically, it used to just reroll every stat (not dropping any, and it would always work), and it wouldn't properly reroll damage enhancements, so you could actually add extra enhancements by using the skill. This was very abusable, for obvious reasons. Anyhow, I just did it to reroll after getting a curse from Krong. That tends to happen a fair amount if you use every anvil twice. That's 36 Krongings, if you except the final floor. Oh, and corruption mobs (corruption traps didn't exist yet).
