After a lotta time playing NC I've noticed a few things.
1) as you progress towards capping weapons - the numbers start to blur together that is to say it becomeds less and less important to actually cap the weapon as the difference between each point spent attribute-wise begins to lessen - translating it to the game means that around 20 or so RC points will only begin to yield around 2-4 actual points of additional damage, which in my opinion, you can afford to shave off.
The same goes for resists, when you only start to gain marginal resists ( such as .1 %) it's time to stop. IMO 70% resists are just as good as say 70.2%, but the guy who's just spent thier points on that .2 of a % could be down 6, maybe 7 skill points, that you can put into other resists or tiny tweaks...
I'm not making sense.
Anyhow - heres the eventual setup for fuminaire - unlike some characters, he doesn't suffer the pitfall of being gimpred at certain periods in levels due to point allocations, he's reasonably smooth almost all the way. And look! No rares! - well - apart from the first love, but thats a novelty
