Hi there, I usually don't post here but I think you made your run harder than you intended. You have way too high stat spread. If you're going combat, you usually build up only one specific combat tree (STR/DEX/AGI), otherwise your stats will spread out and you will deal way too low damage where it counts.
You could technically still win this run, but it will be a coin toss.
My first Holy Empress run was a dex mind (mind obviously to keep desires low), and it had dex at high 150, strength and agi was at 20 at most.
That might be it. The way the guards describe the stats is a bit weird, cause i thought that Strenght was the stat that affected every physical attack type damage, but apparently not since you did it with dex build. There's that one that say "you do N-O D-A-M-A-G-E" so that guard tricked me into believing strenght was gonna help with all attack types, that's why i put a bit more focus towards it.
Anyway i don't feel that i'm doing little damage at the start of the battle, but the enemies that comes before the last boss are doing too much damage to me, putting me down, i get down and my desires rise faster, then i get a bunch of debuffs cause of the passives, and only then i start doing little damage and missing every attack.
Thanks for the intel mate
Edit: Ohh just found out i was sexually frustrated, that's probably why i was taking bullshit amounts of damage and they weren't even critting.
