My favorite offensive spells up to level 13 would be Insanity, Whipping Rocks, Firebomb, and Armormelt. Insanity becomes less useful later, but in the early levels IMO it is the best spell. Whipping Rocks and Firebomb are just good damage spells. Armormelt cannot be resisted for some reason, so it is good throughout the game. |

The Don is a special case. He has incredibly high stealth and incredibly high magic resistance.
From everything I've ever seen, your best bet is to have a party strong enough to go toe-to-toe with him (melee), knowing that 3/4 or more of your attacks will miss.

Light Shield may appear in the chest in the hut with the sentry in Beyjin, and may also be dropped by the dying Princess in Beyjin.
My favorite offense spell of any level is Quicksand. L6, Alchemy, Earth. The lowest-level All Enemies Death spell. Kills lots of Scorchers! Since i usually build much of my Alchemy by KK-ing, my Earth skill is high enough to help overcome resistance easily.

Yah, you can change class any time you level, to any class your attributes satisfy, even back to one you've had. You keep all the skills that have boxes in the Skills graphs, but class-specific skills develop only when you're that class. Ex-Bards and -Gads can still use their toys, but their skills in music and engineering won't go up any more. (and only current gads can Omnishoot.) Ex-Rangers don't automatically scout, but their Scouting score determines how far they spot items when Searching. Skill bonuses and class abilities that don't have Skill-page boxes go away.

Ok it must have been off the dying lady, cause I was clearing out the Bayjin huts when I found it
I dont follow on the class change.
So for ex an Elf mage, if I go thief for one level for T&L, then back to mage, will I be able to pick locks and disarm traps without magic?
(ie will I still be able to put points/keep T&L after I go mage again)

Yah, if you get up to 50-60 (subtract the 25% bonus) you should be ok esp if you have the Poseur's Cap and Thieve's Buckler. Get Stealth while you're at it!!!

so then, why not just make a new team have them change classes each level for 1st 6-7 levels and then make super chars for the rest of the game? |

There was a poster in the old Party Tracker thread (i think...) who started everyone as Ninjas and kept them @ L1 until they all got 100 in Stealth, Instawhack, and i think Dual Wield; he had one push L&T to 100 and the one he wanted for PP stayed Ninja. Then he made a fairly standard mostly-hybrid party of'm. The only problem some have with this is if it takes more than a couple of levels, you seem to regret the delay in developing the final class.
I always change Bards to Sam or Fighter and Bishops to Lord or Sam (Maces or Staff) at L20 or so, mostly because you get Attack Ratings and swings per round as L2X instantly, and get to wear Infy Helms. In the last 1/3 or so of the game, berserking with Mauler and Diamond Eyes kills more stuff faster than magic, esp since most of the real battles are against single opponents and smaller mobs of highly resistant types. Well, maybe not in a party of 6-8, where you don't need as many whacks per round per character. Class changing works out much better in smaller groups anyway; the XP savings give you plenty extra levels...
