If you're weak, then run, but toward your enemy

indeed. did you have any comments or ideas for new weapons or shields that might balance some of the metagame? Any observations on patterns you see, or gaps in overall balance between elements?

druid staff is weak on its own, but can be one of the best healing items in the game w/ fly or crusader + adren.

You are missing Hope (which can become one of the strongest shields in the game)

Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
If your zombie plan is
kill -9 `ps l | awk '{print $2" "$3" "$9}' | grep "Z" | awk '{printf("%s ",$2)}'`
You might be a unix junky
