Hey guys, been reading these forums for a few days now and decided to register. I'm trying out this build and I'm level 16 right now. I can get the VD spread going on the kobolds around the griffin, but I'm not seeing the gushes of experience. It's more just a kill here and there. Also, I don't know if this was mentioned previously, but when I run up to a new group that is already diseased, I don't see any damage numbers. Is this just a visual bug? If I recast VD on one of them then I can see that monster taking damage again.
Another somewhat off topic question, how do you go about getting and smithing gear for your first shopper? I don't have a plat or niob toon to buy a bunch of +skills stuff. And is there any way to make a low level shopper without having some1 run you through the campaign?
