Talk:Kane, the Shieldguard/@comment-2601:484:C000:FCA8:8899:C5AE:305B:85A4-20180709165413

Regarding the Stats to Chase section, and having finished the game on Epic (hardest) difficulty while losing 1-2 fights the whole time, I found Kane to be extremely good at high DPS, especially because of Thorns. I found speed to be his best stat and the one to chase early, because the cooldown on his heal, plus you get mana regen from speed via the enchant on rings (that gives you 1 or more mana per weapon hit). For most or all of the game, I found that a blue-crafted and forged 1h sword was ideal. He didn't need a shield. For a while, around when you fight beasts, maybe having a shield and the fire sword you get from the challenge, is solid. Thorns can crit, btw. And with nearly all my characters nearly all of the time, I focus on crit% as a priority, getting it up to around 100% about 3/4 of the way through the game.
