attribute bug?

[TehKreW]

Got another problem here, buddy im trying to play with felt like taking the easy route and duped a bunch of elixers of farnham and ogden to give himself a bunch of stat points to work with, barb with 2000'ish dex and some 500+ energy/vital/str and all skills maxed out, now the problem is he's managed to get to lvl 32 with my char helping him but he's stuck in nightmare because he keeps dieing despise having 1500 life, 5000+ defense and max resistances, is there some point in which adding character attributes actually starts going into reverse and he's in the negatives somehow or the like?

1500 Life with a Barb in nightmare is very low...
A good skilled and statted Barb has about 8k life at this point of the game - without cheating...
By the way: You dont get exp in nightmare before level 42-45 ;)

Okay, i think i understand, so it would seem he basically just rushed too far with those stats and finished normal earlier then he was ment to, thus meaning he needs to go level up in normal more, because now he cant level up much in nightmare, but what about his stats though? shouldn't he be fairing 10x better then me even if he's not leveling much?

i would say he wears worse equip then you? you can use more highlevel items


and ... well im not sure at this point cause i didnt play ce a while, but i think  remember that monsters with a greater lvl then you have an increased hitrate against you, that means he gets hit more often then you
