The path of the necromancer is a very long and difficult one. Actually, it is extremely rocky at the beginning and becomes more pleasant with time. You notice that the stronger the spirit and the weapons become, the more pleasant life is. However, you really have to grind a lot and often go to the same spots to farm runes.
Alisan is getting stronger, she is clearly stronger and so are her spirits. However, there is still a lack of strength. The spirit dies too quickly when it is exposed to area spells. I think we also need a bit more weapon skills, especially strength, endurance and faith.
The goal is to finally defeat the apostle at the windmill village. If Alisan can do that, then she is ready to continue her journey.
Loretta is also waiting for a visit, maybe we would even manage her now. The Apostle only really resists in phase two, then he does flat AEs that burn down life very quickly and then if you can’t heal the Mimic quickly, just because he’s jumping around wildly and running out of the healing area, then it’s done. Alisan will probably have to farm some more, we need forging stones and we need more stamina and strength.
