Cheese guide? I need no guide! Plus I can't download things on this computer. Ah well.

Illumina is on vacation from college. Illumina has so much spare time, Illumina can check the message boards several times per day. It's sort of a blessing... I had lost interest in the boards after my IP address kept getting banned and nobody could give me a good reason beyond "It's a board bug"... but now here I am, and on my family's PC. They don't want anything downloaded. Perhaps I'll hook my laptop up to their cable modem tonight and download it.
(And yes, Illumina feels referring to oneself in the third person is a sign of dementia. Sue me. Idle hands breed mental bugs. Does anyone have a Heal spell handy?)

i would suspect that your isp has one member near you, that is on the same subnetwork that you're on, a person who was banned...due to dhcp and pooled addressing, if a member was banned, and he/she was on the same subnet and mask as your ip address, its my guess that this is why you were banned...i suspect that banning an ip address in a board causes the entire subnet itself to be banned...at least that's how i would design it...i would talk to your tech guys at college, and move to another subnet in your college network...i don't know if they're using nat, or proxy, but they should be able to move you to another subnet that probably isn't banned...

I no longer have that problem... Like I said, I had lost interest.. That was several months ago. Quite some time ago, actually, and I got fed up. Now I come back, and am glad to be back, and was also happy to learn they made Dundee a mod, too. ::nod in his direction:: You certainly deserved it.
But if that sort of thing happens, I'll have a plan of action. Thank you.

And Chromatic Orb... This is the solo avenger's ticket to greatness. Magic Resistance can be used to actually lower a dragon's resistance.. then Doom.. Then an orb or two or three or six.
Hell if you've got a half decent mage about you can cast lower resistance afterward's, lowering the new resistance..

My solo sorceror now level 19 and he kicks ass. I mean anything. As a joke cause I wanted to see how far he could go, I got the Cowels onto me by practicing magic in the city. Then after destroying four to six rounds of normal wizards, these wizards with names turned up to kick my ass and they died... quickly... It just goes to show how quickly a sorceror can get so good... Lol, he even killed the red dragon in one with finger of death [img]smile.gif[/img]

Has anyone come across a better combo than :

1) summon planetar
2) go into battle
3) time stop
4) improved alacrity
5) chain contingency 3 ADHW on nearest enemy
6) spell trigger of 3 sunfires
7) rest of ADHW
8) rest of sunfires


All this with robe of vecna, amulet of power, staff of the magi.

This is the best tactic I nhave found so far. Has anyone else found any really effective combos?

if you IA before you TS then you get a little longer stoped casting..

BTW, chain cont, unpause, then chain again, repeat...

another good tactic is to spell trap before the timestop wear's off, then any survivor's just charge you up again..
