In group combat, it isn't much of a problem, as you're essentially support. However, in one-on-one my offense suffers greatly.

I'm currently Fabled Nihilism, Expert Necromancy, and Master Tarot. As we all know, symbol or not, Guardian damage = :censor:. So then, how to maximize the effect? I was thinking investing the demon with masochism, sensitivity, and anorexia, and trying to keep them stuck.

Opinions on the workability of this, or on any other potential ideas?

Most appreciated, thanks.

Generally there is always ways to kill people if your fighting around your combat experiance level.

This is true.

Anyone have any insightful input as to how it could be done?

You don't have soulless or wrack. You don't even have aeon. Even with Omen, nihilist damage is kind of crap.

You won't be killing much.

Yeah...guardians and wiccans are dependant on high levels in your 3 main skills. I wouldn't even bother if you're talking about semi-competent or better people.

And dependant on you choosing the correct Tertiary.

Which you've done.

Omen, Torture, and Quickening.. if you use damage you use cosmicfire not symbol though. Torture is pure cutting so dont use it on knights, but its a nice amount of damage. Focus on demon hindering them so you can damage them. At your skill level without curing you can easily wipe them out. Shackles should handle most of what you need done to torture.

Masochism, anorexia, shackles, and flame are the main pacts generally. Flame is 500 fire damage and ignite (does no damage if they are ignited) but its a good way to get some fast damage if you harrow or something first. Quickening will let you do damage quickly, while omen will boost the damage you deal.

Etc, etc.



That is arguable. Sun in astrology is often the best skill to try to damage kill someone as a Nihilist. Tarot is for aeon and soulless specifically when it comes to combat :/
