Okay...just how powerful is a cleric/mage? Well, pretty powerful considering I'm am soloing ToB with one. Ahem, with no foreknowledge; this is the first time I'm playing past the first section of ToB. And I don't think I've reloaded more than a couple of times, mostly due to not keeping an eye of my spells remaining.

I have some questions though.

- I rely heavily on project image to conserve spells, but there are a few situations where I struggle against True Seeing and the like. Will Spell Immunity: Divination protect my image? I would imagine that the spell needs to be cast by my image, then?

- I don't usually worry about other protections, since nothing lasts past the first alacrity. Does anyone bother with timestop after you have improved alacrity?

- Is anything supposed to happen after I finish the second challenge in the pocket plane? I beat my old self (one of the hardest fights for me, by the way), but was anything supposed to happen afterwards?

Thanks, all!

spell immunity: Divination WILL protect your images. Thats usually the first spell i cast with my images.

Time stop followed immediately by improved alacrity will allow you to unleash a ridiculous number of spells before the time stop ends. Extremely useful, I would say.

I think for most of the pocket plane rooms there were going to be certain rewards/abilities after completion, but the designers didn't have time to completely implement them. Now you just finish the room and get on with the rest of the quests.

I once soloed a Sorcerer who had permanent Improved Alacrity. That was really fast casting of spells. (Thanks goes to IEEP)

Let me guess Xen, he was named john and managed to commit fartricide thrice? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

No. [img]tongue.gif[/img] His name was Darius. I am currently soloing a C/R who has a name Neo. :D He surly kicks ass. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

=/ C/M is quite powerful. Imagine you unloading with an original CC with 3x Implosion, reloading a CC with 3x Fire Storm, reloading the CC with 3x ADHW, firing off a Spell Trigger (with 3x Sunfire), then pelting the guy with Energy Blades. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
