oh and don't forget physical shield. Man that was a broken spell. Just max out slow time and physical shield, and you could beat pretty much anything. Although in my experience, I found mixing combat styles always worked best. Of course, it was so easy to max out, I was always maxed out by the time I finished find the archaelogist. Rank four beserk with rank four mulitstrike with a heavy weapon and maxed physical stats= CARNAGE! I also found that rank 4 multi-arrow with skorm's bow caused massive damage!
