Bloody hell... I think you used almost all of the darn buffing spells in the game. =/ Except for a few.
What I personally don't like about Improved Faldorn is that it really doesn't require any tactics. It requires pre-knowledge and knowledge more than any specific tactics. Let's just say that you didn't know how hard Faldorn is. No preknowledge whatsoever. There is no way that you would survive. There is no indication that she's roughly on the level of a certain Demon Prince. All of the other components (save the Chapter 6 ones, I suppose) are beatable with a before-Underdark (level 13'ish range) party. This one isn't.
I mean; okay, let's look at Firkraag. With some good luck, one could beat even Firkraag at a fairly low level. I haven't tried it at that low of a level yet (respecting the Vampires [img]tongue.gif[/img] ), but I know that it's definately possible at level 13. Firkraag is at level 25! With 3 ApR. Yes, Faldorn could possibly be harder, but she's a bit too hard. I mean, how come I don't get those cool powers when I become the leader of the Grove?
On a side note, do any of you know just how much of a bloody difference having Improved Haste makes? It's so powerful... Now, I'm starting to divide up battles in three sections: Before Improved Haste, after Improved Haste, and after Time Stop. Faldorn is in the Time Stop range. All of the rest are in the Improved Haste range.
Not tthat I have anything against Tactics. I like Tactics, as SixoOfSpades can attest to (remember that long thread where you were trying to make the impossible battle? [img]tongue.gif[/img] ), but this one is going slightly over the brink.
While I was reading up and looking for that thread, here's something that I found:
http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...=018880#000000 ; scroll down a bit, and see some people's view on NB. =/
And here's a little tidbit from the thread I was looking for:
http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/cg...2;t=021290;p=4 Improved Demons have been made, and if you look at page 3 (where Alson talks about Ascension), a solo Cleric has finished Ascension.
