Spell Trigger/Sequencer Combos

[Fuzzy Animal]

Does anyone have any good Spell Trigger
or Spell Sequencer combo's they wish to
share? I always seem to use Minor Sequencer
with two magic missles, Spell Sequencer with
three Lightning Bolts or Flame Arrows and
Spell Trigger with protections. This would
be for a single class mage/sorcerer.

Uhh actually I use these Triggers on a defensive side
So I would recommend...
Minor Spell sequencer: Mirror image,Blur
Spell Sequencer: Fire shield (RED),Well lets add say Melf's minute meteors, Vocalize.
Contingency: Stoneskin
Spell Trigger: Protection from normal weapons,globe of invulnerability,protection from normal missiles.

thats all for me (WEll i dont use chain contingency yet My lvl isnt that high yet)

Well, I use my spell triggers and spell sequencers to combat mages in the begining of a combat encounter. I use acid arrow/greater malison/emotion or slow with the sequencer and usually a silence/greater malison/feeblemind with spell trigger. I usally take the mage out from the start since they can do the most damage to your group.

I read somewhere that a Spell Trigger set up with triple Lower Resistance will reduce any dragon or any other magic-resistant enemy to Magic Missile target practice...

That is a fact.

At character level 20, you attain the maximum potential for spells based on character level. Each Lower Resistance will deal -30% Magic Resistance to the target, thus 3 will reduce by 90%.

Minor Spell Sequencer:
- Two Magic Missiles -------> When I am low level, average 30 damage.
- Two Melf's Acid Arrow ----> When I am high level, average 48 damage in 6 rounds.
- Magic Missile and Ray of Enfeeblement.

Spell Sequencer:
- Three Flame Arrows, at level 5 = 15d6 damage, level 10 = 30d6 damage, level 15 = 45d6 damage, level 20 = 60d6 damage.
- Greater Malison, Emotion, Slow.

Spell Trigger:

- Three Lower Resistances.
- Globe of Invulnerability, True Sight, Spell Immunity.

Contingency:
- Dispel Magic, cast on self, cast when helpless( at first).
- Mislead, cast on self, cast when helpless( when I am high enough level).

Chain Contingency:
- Three Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wiltings, cast at nearest enemy, cast when enemy sighted.

Dundee, with those Abi wilts. If you do that, what if it turns out to be one minor enemy and then you just wasted off 4 spells (including the contingiency) for just that one target? I haven't gotten all that far in the game so I don't know if this is all that relevant, but I thought I'd ask.

Like for goblins in sewers? He,he what a surprise it would be for all of them .

I forgot:
Sequencers: some ranged magic or breach, dispel and so on
That one on myself - I dont use

I suggest packing one sequencer with two lower resistance and a greater malison, great for softening up tough foes, also place a detect invisible or True Sight in one of them so you can quickly uncover invisible foes.

[Nifft the Nimble]

For Aerie or your favorite home-brew Cleric/Mage, try Minor Sell Sequencer with either:
1) Chant (normally takes a whole round to cast, very easy to interrupt) + Remove Fear
2) two Cure Light Wounds (18 pts of healing VERY FAST)
3) two Dooms (they stack!)
4) Chant + Magic Missile (The chant will affect any friendly units near the target, so your fighters will benefit as you disrupt their spellcaster).

For a normal Mage, consider a Minor Spell Sequencer of Magic Missile + Melf's Acid Arrow. You'll disrupt this round's spell casting and have a chance to disrupt the next few rounds, too.


Contingency:
Eventually you'll be able to put things like "25% HP ==> HEAL" in this slot, but not right away. Instead I use "Outike's Resiliant Sphere" for Helpless, because that'll protect me & my friends if I'm paralyzed or confused. "Slow Poison" on self if poisoned might be nice, but it's a little too specialized unless you know the poison's coming... and even then, potions of antidote are plentiful.


Here's a fun Spell Sequencer for little Aerie: Tenser's Transformation + Draw Upon Divine Might + Improved Haste. Put her in some armor and you'll still be able to use this one!

I do not cast Chain Contingency until I need it. The neat thing about Chain Contingency is that you can cast it at any time, and it has a casting time of zero.
