Frank did you ever see pre-patch Dimos? He was said to be over level 45.
I remember a guy who retired every week this is prepatch and and only used black armour and throwing lances, Baldwin I think. If I could contact him now and get those looms.
The sniper crossbow could shoot through any shield and head shot the shield bearer, was it 100p damage?. Slots only limited the amount of throwing you could carry. heavy armour worked and elite scim out performed almost anything.
