It's easy when you know the basics:
- Use a fully upgraded pair of knuckles: 7-17, +15%damage -5 energy, +20% armor penetration, +20% damage vs dwarves, customized.
- Switch to secondary assassin and set dagger mastery to 12. If you are an assassin, increase also critical hits.
- Do not use normal attack on enemies, just target and use the skills.
- Keep activating the stance when you are in a crowd. That is, mash the button 1.
- When facing a single enemy, activate the stance after each of your attacks.
- Do not waste your time picking items. After opening the chest, 2 minutes are more than enough to pick them all an open the lucked chest.
- The worst part is where rangers wait. Go first for the rangers until they daze you, while dazed, switch targets to the warriors.
- When facing the stonewolves, go first for the Easter dwarf, then the other one, then the wolves.
- Use the skills wisely. In HM mode you can kill a warrior dwarf like that with 2 skills. Try to charge adrenaline while fighting one dwarf and releasing all the skills to kill the next two quickly.
- And the MOST important: Try to keep the aggro for yourself. Kilroy do not effectively use the stance (if he uses it at all) and it seems that he is not healed when an enemy dies. It's more important to keep him alive so he uses his shout. Enemies MUST target YOU.
Most of the time I lose the Berserker effect between the Liutenant and Fronis.
But even without Fronis and the second ettin getting doubled, the dungeon, quest reward included, gives around 40.000XP.
Anyways, it's still easier with a warrior, so this change should be made.
