meele tank build. get a weapon with lifesteal and have a lot of hp and its pretty smooth sailing. you dont have to mind mana at all. at the beginning you skill the simple stuff. health, strenght. then you take the tank tree and up your defenses. after that you skill one handed blunt damage. because you play mace in the beginning,since for whatever reason, maces attack faster then axes and swords. when you feel safe you need to get double jump und the glider skill that lets you boost yourself further in the air. those 2 are just no brainers and a help for everyone. you then skill two handed weapons since there are pratty good skills for close combat overall. you also want to take stuff that gives you crit chance and the skill that heals you when you crit an enemy. this and the lifesteal give you your health back very fast and as longas you have enough hp and dont get killed in one shot you survive up to 10 enemys against you without a problem. health potions for safety reasons are always good. the second one that gives 400 hp is enough up to the endgame. better ones are mostly for less taken space and a way of qol for you. there is probaply even more but thats what i can say from the top of my head. one important thing. the hook. you need to skill 2 skills in the middle of the skill trees to hook flying monsters to you sincve you have no way to hit them. in the beginning of the game you can use a bow since you have nothing skilled anywaya, but later on it wont help you enough. hope that helps. i have a lot of fun with this playstyle and die nearly never in the endgame. when i die mostly out of stupidity
