Sure.  Did you train to 13, or is it 14 now?  The standard way to write it
is the current number with the number of trains that you took to get there
in parentheses.

If it's now 14, try for better damage at 15.  If it's now 13, then still
try once more for better damage.  Then do a couple of con train, then ditch.

Con is 10 now?  Train to 11 for carry rating, then skills all the way.

What was the desp strategy?  I'm personally experimenting with 10-10-6-x in
the first minute, and doing really badly with it, too.

Go 10-10-6-x in minute one.  Init keeps you attacking multiple times in a
row.  Do you know for a fact exactly how many skills it took to get to AdEx?

This guy has served his purpose: win, kill if possible.  Ditch him now.  He
won't get any better than he is right now.
