> 5) Speed=survival. It's tempting to ignore this little stat and pile heavy equipment on your front-row fighters, I know. In many games, after all, even the bulkiest armor has no affect on movement. I'd suggest staying away from 'heavy' and 'iron' equipment in MR, though. The protection these offer you doesn't make up for the drop in speed. Speed eventually multiplies the power of your fighters, and cannot be done without. Likewise, items that boost speed are often worth having in spite of their weakness compared to regular equipment.

YES! Forgot that one. As soon as you can get speed 5, do so and start attacking multiple monsters. Every speed point from there to 12 (I think) is soooo good. After that it's "just" more oomph in your fighting, but the benefits of hitting multiple monsters cannot be exaggerated I think.

This is related to the long-range weapon advice. Boosting speed is useless if it's all thrown away like that.
