Went up another level in D2, Bruzz is now level 48, and he has swapped back to the better amulet and ring. Actually he found an ever better amulet in the mean time. He is having an easier time in Nightmare than he did in Normal, weird. The lag monster is just about the only thing that kills him. Using a shield makes a big differance.

I have got one skill point to distribute, but not sure where to put it. Bruzz was intended to be a Double Swing sword user. But without his shield he dies easy in Nightmare, which kinda makes spending points to up his Double Swing skill kind of useless. So far he as one point in Double Swing and one in Frenzy. I can hope that higher levels in this talent, (along with better armor) will make it and him more effective, or I can start spending skill points on Whirlwind, even though as a sword user he is suboptimized for using Whirlwind. Spear and polearm users get the most benifit from Whirlwind, as a sword user Bruzz would not get the attack range of a spear user, but he does get the benifit of the shield.
