Bye Bye Smaug Not having too much trouble with the 2000 - 3000 hp monsters, though it taxes the limit of my firepower. Here we see a sleeping Smaug, who is about to die! Posted on 23.7.2005 21:05 Related character dump: Patient Reflection, L50 Sprite Mirror-Master Comments? On 23.7.2005 22:52 Elliott946@aol.com wrote: So, you'll hit him with 7 beams?

But it still took 6 turns to kill him. Fire the first beam and it passes thru Smaug, inflicting about 180hp of damage, and then runs into the first of 6 mirrors. The mirror is destroyed, and 8 new super rays are created, only one of which will hit Smaug for another ~180hp. Repeat with the 5 remaining mirrors ... Perhaps the effect is more dramatic when lots of monsters are involved, but I generally like to avoid crowds! On 24.7.2005 04:12 Elliott946@aol.com wrote: Hmm. Are there better spells higher up? There must be a way to stack damage more effectively, because you'll never kill the Serpent at that rate. With the huge importance of stealth, a Shadow Fairy might have been better than a Sprite. I can't only imagine how horrible a Balrog Mirror Master would be. On 24.7.2005 16:28 blackreaver368@yahoo.com wrote: Kill the Serpent??? That's not even on my mind yet ... I'm still working up to killing a Great Hell Wyrm :-) But seriously, this damage output is actually good for a mage type class at this level. The only thing comparable that I can think of is Mana Storm (which is admittedly better), but Mages do not get that until CL45. In the meantime, I've never played a mage/high mage that even considered a Hell Wyrm until the CL40s, when it was generally a sell out to get Armageddon Tome. Also, each Super Ray is almost as deadly as the Mindcrafters Psycho Spear, and that's as good as that class ever gets. So at CL29 I'm dishing out about double the spell damage that Mindcrafter ever will, though Invulnerable monsters need not fear me. But still, if I have to wonder how to kill a Hell Wyrm, then its easy to lose hope. But there is one more offensive spell: Binding Field. I won't give away the details ... those are on the spoiler sight. But it looks quite good, and yes, it too requires some setup. We'll see how it goes! I did consider a Shadow Fairy, but I really wanted the Sprite's speed boost. A good equipment set can provide adequate stealth ... Seen 1630 times. |
