For my next run through, I was thinking a solo mage. Which do you think would be more challenging: a diviner or an enchanter?
The diviner misses out on conjuration (no familiar or summons, no planetar)
Enchanter misses out on invo/evo (no fireball, horrid wilting or mordenkaneins)

What do you think?

Enchanter would be MUCH harder, I think. After all, you'd get a LOT fewer actual damage spells, among other things...

I think that starting as diviner would became really difficult but without any kind of summons youŽll get hard times

Initially, I thought a diviner would be tough, as you don't get any fodder, but actually you still get animate dead and mordenkaneins.

Now I reckon an enchanter would be harder, as you miss out on all the blasting power.

Thoughts?

Diviner is easier(less hard (I tried it myself once)). You can miss most conjuration spells, but when you can't cast evocation spells, well, you'll have a problem (on some of them). As a diviner, you will still have fodder, btw, you can still charm a lot of your enemies http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/tongue.gif But still, if I were you, I would take the necromancer http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

If you decide for diviner, take a look at invoker as well: no enchantment spells AND no summoning spells. Even worse than a Dynaheir or a Xan http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
