Improved spell casting for tank parties

AzRaeL StoRmBlaDe · 11-12-2001, 05:31 PM

Now I built a tank party, a party based on powerful warriors, that should be able to handle everything, but they can't one improved mantle and they just have to sit there and watch for 4 rounds, but i found a way to get around that. basically i just use my mages to remove spell protections to be able to hack and slay my enemies. a common combo would be coming into the battle under the influence of a true seeing and setting up a spell sequencer or trigger. I usually then cast a timestop, improved alacrity, warding whip, then trigger a spell sequenceer, or trigger ( iforget which one is which) loaded with a breach, lower resistances then a greater malasion. then a i formulate another spell trigger, using another lower resistance then 2 greater malsions. then the mage basically dies, when the time stop is over. if im still having problems they should be easily susceptible to a finger of death at this point anyways. this is in the TOB forum, because youll probably be in TOB when you are able to cast spells of this level. this combo will rip apart the protections any mages are hiding behind, and let yor tank do their thing.

also if things arent going as planned you can throw a ruby ray of reversal or 2 into the mix as well.

My Mages usually kills everything during the Time Stop, before the tanks can even get to nibble.

you can set it up however you want to, personally i love to let Boo unleash his rodent fury upon hapless villians. "look at his little furry head shaking in disbelief, or is it cold? No definitely disbelief"

besides i dont like battling with my mages, theyre just for negating the enemies magic, so my tanks can do their work

Tanks are for carrying around the extra junk my sorcerer can't. As long as you promise the dumb oafs a few extra gold, they'll do anything. [img]smile.gif[/img]
