Quote:I reach the same conclusion from the opposite starting point. Level 36 is virtually everything. By then you have reasonably similar gear to any high level character, stats maxed or close to it, spells getting as high as you will ever bother to get them, and hell/hell is probably starting to get boring. You have essentially "beat the game". It would be a convenient time to delete the character and start over on purpose, much less on accident. I don't think the game ever gets more fun than that first trip to normal/hell (or first trip to hell/hell), when your equipment is haphazardly patched together, your stats are just barely enough, and the random selection of monsters seems like a huge deal.
I cant say i fully agree with hell/hell getting boring by 36. Lvl 36 is decent, but there is a GIGANTIC difference in the overall power of a char that is lvl 36 and one that is between say lvl 45-50, both in PvM and PvP. A lvl 36 char can usually do hell/hell, yes, but not necessarily in a routine and comfortable way as one that is in its mid 40's can. Ive found at lvl 36 your stats are just becoming maxed and your items starting to get fairly decent, but rarely at this clvl do you have your so-called "final setup" yet, or even close to it really. Take a lvl 36 warr and a lvl 45-50 warr for example. A lvl 36 warr, even with nice items, is still only gonna get crits 36% of the time, and will need as much as about 148 dex for perfect block on some lvls in H/H. A lvl 45 warr is gonna crit 45% of the time, do about 15-25 pts damage more per hit, as well as needing only 130 dexterity for perfect block. Its little things like these that must be taken into consideration. A lvl 36 char should be owning nm hell fairly well, but hell/hell is quite another story. Chars between the lvls of 45-50 are extremly powerful and will kill much quicker and more efficiently then those in the mid 30's. And you certainly cant be using a lvl 36 char to duel one that is 8, 9, 10 or more lvls higher.
I do agree with the part about starting over though. Reaching 36 is not difficult at all, and anyone with reasonable patience shouldnt have trouble doing it. Id say suck it up and start over King. But please, dont use a trainer. Even if for non malicious purposes, using these is just not a good idea in general for a number of reasons.
