Well i honed my tactics so much that ppl with dupes cant mess with me. I have a sword barbarian who has 1.08 grandfather(unique collosuss blade) and a fury sword.:p
With grandfather he has over 5,000 life! i usally use it for amazons, cuz i need the life bonus. Barbs i'll use it too, unless he is very strong ans skillfull. Then i have to unleash the fury on him!
fury ignores target defense, so it really messes em up, although not as damaging as GF. Yea to survive in this game now, you have to buckle down spend some stone of jordans! i used all i had left on my swords.
