It's one of the shortcomings of the Lightning/Ice spec--high defense, low damage--which is one of the reasons why it's not really used after early game. Things start to even out after you get access to Baneblade, but putting more points into Moonstrike in the meantime will help boost Wraithsword's damage.

Any idea how to deal with that?

Deal with what?

Edit:
If you mean the damage thing, I explained it in the post above. But to further expand on my point, since the Lightning/Ice spec doesn't have any timered skills (aside from Baneblade), it can use Fusillade liberally to supplement damage. Fusillade will also do significantly more damage while Moonstrike is active, so be sure to time those attacks accordingly.

If damage is still an issue even with more points into Moonstrike and using Fusillade, then hire a merc. A3 mercs work especially well for Physical/Magic based melee builds. A Bloodmage is a more defensive choice if your own survivability is an issue (Gift of Inner Fire), while an Abjurer is a more offensive choice (Banish).

Does the warp blade still drop from Griswold? I have done several runs and it has not dropped.

It does. I tried for 25 runs on single player and never got it, but it can drop from the box, yes.

How can you play this... I m on 350k def, 15% block, 7k life with all crafted/lvl100 sacred runeworded gear and I can't even beat easiest ubers on terror. Getting one shoted anyway, life leech doesnt exist and dealing no damage. No idea.

What Ubers are you trying to do on Terror? Aside from those required to complete the BRC, there's no reason to visit Ubers yet.

I could use a bit more info--like your spec/skillplan, that sort of thing. Can you post or PM me a screenshot of your gear?

i "solved" it by going back to the sewers and start leveling. I was around ~60 when i reached a4 in terror, which apparently sucks major hairy monkey balls. So i went to the sewers, stayed there until lvl ~80-85, upgraded everything to t6 and then i stomped a4/a5.

lol, sounds like someone got rushed. Just questing normally on p1, you should have been around clvl 54 at the end of Hatred and around clvl 86-88 by A4 Terror. Glad you figured it out though. :lol:
