Actually with the stats I posted ( 72+8 str , 69+6 dex and 60+10 vit) I always 2hko mobs of HOs ( the arclouses need 3 tho). Here are the stats , from rode:

Average Damage Recieved 215 (182 ~ 247)

After I get the cranial stone buckler I will need to switch to a pyke tho, so I will need some hydra cards and probably more str, but I will be using my rings already.
When I trans to Lord Knight I will have much more str tho, I plan to have 130 in the end.
About the mighty staff , that's actually a great idea. I simulated that on rode and I would 2hko sleepers 100% of time, spending about 2,5s on each monster so that's pretty good. However I would spend more sp and I will rpobably take more hits and since I don't ahve any equipment to protect me that could be dangerous... Do you think it could work?
Anyway thanks for the quick reply Ayu :D you may not remembe rit but you killed me loads of times on those 'Kill the Novice" events with those damn plants ... xD
