@sak: No idea but I doubt it will help. The majority of what counts is magic defence now which is based on int.
Either way I see a few things:
- People raising int (which is sort of useless for meleers and 1-hp elves)
- People using more of bolt defences
- People looking into raising magic defence using items/enchants.
- People avoiding the mission altogether.
- People looking into other ways (e.g. stone golem. Using a stone golem (the most basic type) in that room only gives me 1 damage on the golem from the statues.)
