Well, I was trying to "salvage" my game and I heard people say "ooh, you don't even need splinter, just 130 black knights and eviln, and you instant win!"
So, I don't have a particular love for black knights. As an aside, in my new game (impossible mage again) with the gift bag mod, I almost have splinter already (level 20).
I was sort of pushing for voice of the dragon with this mage, but I have not committed the runes yet. I really like dragons, but wow, this requires a TON of runes.
Would you say one point in frenzy, with splinter will make my black knights a real killing force? This is an insurance policy in case I go through the whole game again only to realize "oops, I did it again": I can't beat the big bosses.
I didn't realize frenzy gives you an attack point per kill. The description made it sound like it gives you a mere +3 attack. This seems like the summoning bosses are really asking for it by 'feeding' the black knights especially with unlimited retaliation.
I don't think I need the Power of the Undead either. Am I correct in that splinter + one point in frenzy should nearly guarantee victory in case my other plans fail?
