Wyvern 09-21-2002 11:22 AM

Suncraft is probably my favorite school of magic.

I like the LIGHT! and the distance spells prove very useful! ;)

LiOnHe@rT 09-21-2002 11:31 AM

whoops 4got to add......
hey Wyvern looks like we're opposites. for me i really like Mooncraft coz of it's deadly freezing spells and it's travelling magic n time magic :D !!!
i'm a great fan of Ice........
BEWARE!!!

Fiendcraft is my favrite by far. Even though you don't get the xp's unless you time the killing perfectly, watching elementals battle your enemies is alot of fun!
That's how I killed the sphinx. With the summon fiend spell. I let them do the work and I circled around. When the sphinx's green bar got low, I ran in for the kill!
I had to stand a way's back though, because elementals like to use area of effect spells. That sphinx was pretty powerful, too. It took down something like 8 summoned fiends.
Blood bath is hilarious,too! Just have to make sure someone can cast Res. health quickly afterwards...

IŽd go for stone magic! Meteorstorm, reflect damage, merlinŽs shield and petrification [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] Sun is pretty nifty too

LiOnHe@rT 09-21-2002 11:43 PM

u had 2 summon fiends 2 kill the sphinx?! well i just went "CHIONG AR!!!!!!" n used every weapon i had n wacked the sphinx 2 death! ;) n most of the time i kept using spirit spells :D :D :D !!!
yea i kinda agree dat stone magic is gd but i'm still going with moon magic.....

tater 09-22-2002 04:13 AM

Stone. Meteorstorm is my friend.

Moon is a close second, for the teleport spells. I've still got problems getting stuck places and having to teleport out of them.

I've also still got problems with everything being too damn dark, no matter what I do to the gamma. I didn't have either of these problems before I upgraded. I think my new graphics card just doesn't get along with the game very well.

LiOnHe@rT 09-22-2002 05:29 AM

yea especially the ultra-irritating, stuck-in-the-floor bug........ [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img]
the teleport spells are really gd, allowing u to travel almost ANYWHERE in the Gael Serran. n the status-changing spells like silence and shadow are SUPERB!!! :D

I could get through the game without most magics but it would be a real trial without Moon magic. I use teleport & call of home all the time. That icestorm gives it an offensive capability as well.
There are so many places to get stuck in the game that teleport or vanish are a necessity.

Bungleau 09-23-2002 07:51 AM

I'll agree with Kev. Between healing potions, cure poison potions, restore health potions, cure potions, and exorcism scrolls, I don't have a compelling need for Vine or Spirit. Offensive capabilities in Stone and Sun are nice, but can be offset through a strong sword and effective gameplay.

But that travelling ability through Moon magic, that can't be duplicated anywhere else. For that reason, I consider moon indispensable.

Nope the gamma settings wonŽt change the illumination of the game that much. Try this from Xignal [img]smile.gif[/img]

To increase the game's base illumination:

Add -Light=x (where x = 1 to 16) at the end of the "Target" in your desktop shortcut to W&W. If you don't have a shortcut create one (right-click and drag deep6.exe from Windows Explorer and drop on your desktop, select Create Shortcut Here). Then right-click on the shortcut, select Properties, and then add the text as shown below:

Also note ...The above...tweak...only works on games with the patch... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...ons/icon28.gif

LiOnHe@rT 09-24-2002 01:40 AM

darn, i'm facing SORT OF the same problem with the light but my game is unpatched [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img] !!!!!!
oh n bungleau, thx for supporting my idea dat moon magic is really the best of all........ [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img] :D
oh btw, there's something i just found out between all those storm spells. the 5 storm spells (i included Whirling Devrish even though it's not a STORM...), Firestorm, Meteorstorm, Icestorm, Whirling Devrish and Bloodbath, all have different ways to hit the enemies. Firestorm is the best as it does mega area damage to enemies. Meteorstorm only damages enemies dat it hits DIRECTLY (so every piece of rock which comes flying down from the sky only damages the enemy if it lands on 1 of them) but it does mega single damage. Icestorm is equal for both area and single damage to enemies, so it's considered neutral. Bloodbath, as u all know, uses half the caster's hp to damage enemies, so the damage done depends on ur HP, but the effects of Bloodbath appears almost INSTANTLY after casting it ;) . Whirling Devrish does massive damage but it always moves around, so it can damage YOU too!
hope these info. helps those who dun know abt. it yet.........
