10:29 * 10:29 * 10:29 * 10:29 * 10:29 * 10:29 As shown above. Not very good odds. |

A 'Useless' outcome is still not a hurmful outcome. All in all, the 'Bad' outcomes and the 'Good' outcomes usually offsets eachother - so with the help of the Chaos Shields, the Wild Mage is almost identical to a Mage - but with the added advantages of +1 spell per level, and of having one of the most powerful spells in the game - Nahal's Reckless Dweomer.

Useless is useless. If the outcome does not harm the enemy, I see little point in trying to use such a spell. In addition, one good outcome does not negate one bad outcome. If the bad outcome means you turn into a squirrel... 5 good outcomes will mean little. [img]tongue.gif[/img] NRD is potentially the most powerful spell in the game, but put into practice, it is not so practical as compared to other tactics in the early stages. The only way I can see it being useful is when you put 3 ICS in a Chain Contingency. Ah... then you are more or less guaranteed that you get an ADDITIONAL 6 level 9 spells. Fear the cheese then. That will be when NRD shines, not at the low levels. To put it one way, you have a better chance of winning the lottery. |

Playing a Wild Mage is not for the faint hearted, Dundee... Maybe you'll be better off staying behind your Sorcerer's linear playing style. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Quote:
But this is a good thing. NRD is useful in the lower levels, powerful in the mid levels, and godly in higher levels. [img]smile.gif[/img] |

Sucks at first, "I can sling!" Useful in the middle, "I can cast!" Godly at the high-end, "You. Die." |
