    Lord Nad -- As one of your "stupid" fellow gamers, I must have missed your class on the intricacies of party formation. Hmmm, but it appears, indeed, that all is not for naught -- your enlightening comments have given us true insight to that illusive art. :rolleyes:

    I sure love a good flaming crispy online debate...and as I'm sure everyone has their enlightened opinions, I'd like to point out that referring to people online as "stupid" is both fleeting and rife with cosmic irony. No party formation is perfect, as no party can contain and represent every possible need or happenstance you could require in a complete RPG like Icewind...I have found that my monk, however quick, deadly, and useful he is, is not always a good fighter against more than 4 or 5 melee combatants at a time, regardless of his 3 attacks per round, or his stunning fists...

    but even then...my monk never ceases to amaze me at how accurate his simple fists can be, even though my warrior's improved critical oftentimes deals 45 damage compared to my monk's critical of 25...

    every char and party formation has its own flaws and misconstrued strengths... a true flawless party formation is a party formed by a person who knows how to implement every strength of their chars...and compensate for every weakness and shortcoming.... so...in conclusion...I'm neither amazed nor shocked at Nad's presumptuous postings and arrogant attitude, maybe if we all turn our backs and ignore him he might buzz away like the primordial fly he is... ;)
