Training advice needed

10:20 AMMy halfling wizard at level 16 currently has not trained in weapons at all. I'm planning on starting at 19 or 20 and was wondering if the missed 20 trainings in edged weapons will be so bad. Here's what he looks like right now.

Armor Use : 20 [4]
Shield Use : 78 [17]
Climbing : 5 [1]
Swimming : 5 [1]
Perception : 78 [17]
Scroll Reading : 30 [6]
Magic Item Use : 78 [17]
Mana Sharing : 78 [17]
Spell Aiming : 128 [34]
Physical Training : 50 [10]

Your spell lists:
Major Elemental...5
Minor Elemental...16
Wizard Circle.....16

I started scroll reading late because I didn't want to convert any training points. Now I'm singling for life. I've been Physical Training whenever I felt like I needed the health.

I plan on taking this wizard pretty far. Hopefully to rift age and beyond. reg

10:41 AMJust remember... missing 20 ranks of edge weapons is missing a potential 15-20 DS, which means you'll have to get a 3x-4x DB item to make up for it.

But otherwise it looks fine.

07:40 PMYou need about a 600 ds in guarded on Plane 1. I hunt with a 6x weapon, 1x armor and 5x shield. I do fine on Plane 1 and 2. My ds is about 630 with that. You will do fine if you can get that self cast. You need some crit padding also. The heavier, the better. Best advice in the rift is, find the voids and stay away from em. Don't go running back and forth past em. They will kill you.

08:17 PMI don't know what the big deal with voids is...

I know this will sound very odd and maybe some might not believe it (if you don't I invite you to hunt with me), but I use voids to my advantage. They seem to ruin critters a lot harder than they ruin me and I have yet to see a void stun me for more than 4 rounds (that's the most, on average it's 2 rounds). The critters on the other hand get stunned for like 10 rounds and usually are on the ground. This saves me a ton of mana to cone them all to death.
