It does seem a little funny that a swordfighter can essentially get a sword that can see them through the entire game relatively early, especially since the Elven Ruins are markedly safer for fighters with their resistance to stuns. Maybe Ringil could be weakened a little, then there could be a sidequest in the east to bring it up to its full potential? "The-sword-that-was-broken-but-then-reforged-then-it-lost-a-little-power-but-then-taken-to-someone-who-used-a-macguffin-on-it-and-it's-good-again"?
Banshees, dreads and dreadmasters are more magebusters than fighterbusters, aren't they? They never really were a threat, especially once I got full confusion resistance. I imagine they'll be much more trouble when it's impossible to damage enemies stuck in walls; right now I can just shield pummel and assault them out.
Vor Pride, take 1: "Agh! Ouch! Eek! Hey! Ow! Stop it! Agh! Okay! I'm going, I'm going...!"
Vor Pride, take 2, with new equipment and +70% fire and cold resistance: "?HONEY, I'M HOOOOOOME?"
This was the first time I actually dug into that little hidden room south of Golbug's chamber. Hardly interesting, but I did!
Achievement Unlocked: Demon puncher. Kill an uruivellas after getting disarmed.
The underwater cave was quite an adventure. That naga psyren that hangs around the entrance to Maglor's pad and doesn't chase you but just pelts you with silences and mind sears is probably more challenging to get past than everything else there! As for Maglor? I don't quite know how it happened, but one of the psyrens in his room got it into her head that he was an enemy, and started fighting him. I had to leave the room - fighting other enemies - and when I got back there was a silmaril, a body, and a naga psyren looking very pleased with herself.
Mount Doom was where rush and disengage shined. I've already mentioned the use of disengage as a conveyance method elsewhere, but I was a little more conservative with using rush; it has a long cooldown, after all, and you never know when you'll need it to get to a fire wyrm to stop a potential summonfest. Rushing the length of the last bridge and taking down Fyrk with a single assault was a suitably filmic ending to the area. Those faeros were seriously made out of paper.
This was my second time in the Valley of the Moon, and the first since its restructuring. I can find little to criticise; it's simply an excellent, challenging, but enjoyable battle. The Corrupted Balrog was a pushover though; pummel, assault, done. I almost succeeded, but an uruivellas got close to Limmir and although I killed it, it put down a fire storm before I could which eventually put Limmir away.
Come to think of it, many of the later bosses were rather quick to fall. Maybe bosses could have their armour increased? Not HP, since that'd make the other classes miserable while solving the fighter's problem.
I didn't even enter Vor Armoury. To quote Arbiter: "I kinda like having my head not ripped off and dashed against a wall."
Hearing about the slime tunnels previously, I was seriously rubbing the rosaries for my fighter, especially with the memories of the ritchsplosion in Eruan still fresh. However, the tunnel was almost empty, and whatever slimes I did find were easily dispatched and dealt no damage at all. While it serves its purpose for lulling you into a false sense of security, it did feel like the place needed to be more populated. I can't explain the lack of damage at all; in previous areas, brittle clear oozes and poison oozes were still punching through my armour enough to cause concern.
Maybe consumables should be available in infinite amounts in stores? After all, if what you want isn't there you're just going to pace around the map outside until it is, and you're certainly not going to shrug and just barrel into an area underequipped; at least, not in the later game.
The big final battle: First things first, I seriously underestimated the length of the High Peak, and as such the amount of supplies I should've brought. I had around 30-40 each of healing potions, greater healing potions and controlled phase door scrolls, but by the end I only has around 15 each. I got one of the Blue Wizards down to 10%, and the other to 70%, but I didn't hold out much hope of winning once I saw what I was up against. I'm not saying it's OMG UNFAIR, I was the one who wasn't ready.
The massive influx of new nasty curses and effects was overwhelming, and it might've helped if I knew what any of them did. I didn't really have the time to check out any of the four portals in the room, and Aeryn was... underwhelming. The Blue Wizards targetted her for all of one turn before turning their attention to me, then she spent the rest of the fight stood in the middle of the arena, offering half-hearted words of encouragement and idly poking at a nearby cold drake hatchling - and missing. After that, it was all over but the being diced up and cooked into canapes for Morgoth's welcoming party. While it didn't have much to do with my demise, the RNG claps its pudgy hands with delight.
What followed was me using controlled phases to try and get behind cover so I could chug some greater healing potions, wait for a wizard to show up, fail to stun him, get blasted again, and so on. The hit you take before phasing with a scroll is what really got me - that hit can be 400+! I might have got lucky with not getting hit by 800+ moonbeams, they primarily used manathrust, lightning, and some odd new curses (curse of death?). From the log I was put away by a critical manathrust and lightning by Alatar, both hitting Palando as well 
. Maybe a rogue could goad them into attacking eachother as well as you?
