I was wondering... most guides tell you to get Fire Arrow first, and even in Poison first builds, you don't go to the really high level Ludi monsters until after level 50. Is there a reason for this? I was under the impression that if you go poison first, you could drop them to 1 HP at level 40, too, once you have maxed poison.

If they touch you once you're dead. Lol. So you need to level a bit and have decent armour and such. Luckless+poison = no difference in dps btw. So you'll pretty much just die more and do the same.

You can't hit those monsters at that level. That's all I know.

Yea, you just cabt hit the monsters. I can survive any one hit from any boss, except for bf 12k touch damage.

at 40, you can take a hit from DTs. However, your hit rate on them will be less than 1% or 0%

It can't be a poison first guide if it tells you to do FA first....... You can't go to these monsters because at lvl 40 you would probably "miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss..............................................................miss miss miss miss miss". You can't drop any monster's Hp to 1 if you can't hit the monster. From, lvl 40-55ish, FA would be more useful and help you level faster so you can get PB in a shorter amount of time. The amount of time you waste training with PB could've been the same amount of time you spent training with FA, getting to lvl 50, and having PB as well.
