I've got a lowbie toon which will oone day (not sure which century as it's not my main) become a gladi.
One of the skills is detect insect weakness. Now apart from spiders and ants, beatles? (assuming that what it says is what it does) what does this skill do?
You'll hit insects for more damage when the buf is on. You'll have other ones later for animals, plants, monsters (= beasts), dragons...
Check the attributes of the mobs to know what kind of mob it is and if you can use one of these bufs against them. A spider isn't an insect except for the game. And lizardmen are humanoids and not animals, etc..
