Delicious Vlish, I read this and despite starting normally as fire I went battle as you suggested since I fancied a restart. the results I found were stupidly more powerful than my usual fire creation build. like 1000 times more powerful. As you say battle clawbugs kill all.. this isnt the case in the fire build not nearly so. Ive played this game quite a bit..... started over like 100 times... but can only half understand how one combat build can be so much stronger than anything else you might choose. John.
