[RPG] Suggestions on beating the Balrog?

[Heretic Apostate]

Just got whooped by the Balrog, and that was before his Rage kicked in. (It's sitting at 100%, and I'm NOT going to be the one to get rid of it...)

So, how do you veterans do it? I've got STR of 1082, DEF of 960, HP of 525 and MP of 543. (Dwarven plate, Greatsword, Short Sword, and Unicorn, with top-of-the-line in everything else. Five Giant's Strengths and three Perceptivenesses.) I'm trying to buy the Wyvern now (about 10k short, but I'll get that soon enough...), and I've got the Greatbow (but no enchantment on it yet...). Don't see enough of a difference between the Shortsword and the best shield to bother changing.

So, what now? Go for Diamond, to replace my Perceptivenesses (and, eventually, Giant Strengths)? That's about 150 battles against the Death Knight (including healing), each.

Can you save the enchantments? For instance, since I bought Giant Strength, if I upgrade, do I get to keep the enchantment to put on something else?

Enquiring minds want to know.

The Balrog is in rage? Yawn! I constantly wipe the floor with that puny thing.

I currently have Str: 1627, Def: 1582, HP: 688, and Lvl: 73. 5 Diamonds, and 3 Giant Str's on the most expensive equipment will get you there, mate.

No, you can't save your enchantments, the best you can do is pass unwanted equipment to another guy. Basically you have to pass it to a member of the Xaositects clan otherwise I'll smack you good.

Lend me 500000gp, and I'll gladly repay you by August.

You are aware it's just a game, right? Basically, you're just showing you have a lot more free time than I do.

Oh, in all my posts if there isn't an then there probably should be.

Or have a very fast connection combined with being in a completely different timezone, so I'm online when the board isn't slow.
