Assasin with poison = Overpowered?

I'm still using the 6 damage per turn Arachna poison with 9 damage per 8 turns Manticore poison. Where did you get that 14 damage one?

And yes, it is a bit overpowered, but I feel with this game the term "overpowered" is pretty overused considering if you don't kill the enemy in a few turns then they usually obliterate you with ridiculous combos.

FOund it in that wolf's shop. I think I'm level 42 though, it might coem later for you.

My Level 21 Barbarian, can do 33 damage per swing with a 1 handed weapon, at the cost of 17 Action Points. I just have to cast Backswing first to jump it up from 22 damage. When I get a critical, I do 66 damage in one swing. Cut that in half if they defend against it. I know I'll find stronger weapons by the time I hit level 40 (arbitrary level).

There is an achievement for doing 250 damage or more in one turn. Neither of us are that close to achieving it.

Your Assassin with poison is definitely formidable and can do a lot of damage. Poisons do give the best damage dealt per Action point spent, but they take time to deal all their damage. There are other methods to do more damage, now.

I'm pretty sure each class has a niche it can fill to obtain victory, and may use items designed for other classes to help them out. My Templar for example was unable to defeat the Yeti until I purchased a Poison to deal damage, while I grabbed the gems I did not want the Yeti to match.

Umm, I hit the 250 damage a long time ago using Stealth and four Strikes.
