I've created a 2 handed warrior, and managed to get Axe of the Minotaur kings, which competes with the EMP Maul as the best 2 handed weapon, so much early in the game, and i think i could get it even earlier. I went to the maze on level 11, and managed to kill the minotaur on the first try, using only 5 potions. And there's the superb cloak too. Now my character looks so much powerfull than he should be at lv 11. And i think i could kill the king even earlier, by "kiting" him with skills.
