I'm currently level 16. I can beat a white/yellow derv usually by myself.
But most casting desert or island madmen (or Derv's) that con green are
fairly dangerous for me for some reason. They never seem to run out of mana,
they never seem to get interrupted by me successfully hitting them while
they're casting and they simply refuse to die. I don't even want to talk
about the ones that sit there and heal themselves while I'm hacking their
body parts off. If you get into trouble with a caster, you're simply SOL
because you can't seem to outrun their spell range fast enough. (By trouble
I mean down to the last bubble or so)

And of course, there's always the chance that it's just my tactics that
stink. *shrug* But I still despise fighting a caster alone.
