I recently started Wiz8 and I really love the game. However, as many other novices before me, I have a problem with high level spawns. Especially travelling between locations, like Monastery-Arnika-Trynton road, or entering the Trynton map.
For example, I left Arnika to revisit monastery around level 9/10, and I fought my way through many waves of monsters until I finally came upon 2 groups of crushing crabs that were too much (they had over 100 HP an did more damage per hit than any of my character could). I tried to run but they were as fast as me and they still could strike after running, so it was a hopeless situation.
If a mob is standing in your way on the road, it seems impossible to avoid it without a fight. If there is a line of sight, they will always walk towards you so trying to hug the walls to avoid them is not working. I read about resting somewhere until it despawns, but it is as gamey as manipulating party levels to deal with the spawns (holding back levels, or grinding levels).
Is there some spell I should learn or other game mechanic that could help me avoid fighting everything along the way, especially early game?
Thanks!
