Great Hell Wyrm vs. MirrorMaster Not really a challenge, as I didn't even take a point of damage the whole battle. Of course, the wyrm must have forgotten about its fiery breath! Setup 8 mirrors behind the sleeping dragon (this is my limit, btw) and then woke it up. Thats about 3000hp of damage. Bard's arrow is good for another 600, but at this point I'm down to 100 mana and I don't have enough fire power to finish the job (unless I use my rods, but there is no need). So I enter the world of mirror and get out of the creatures line of sight. Create a new mirror, and recharge my mana to full force. Mirror Tunnel back into LoS to finish the job! I don't see Crimson or Laputa in the remains, however :-( Posted on 24.7.2005 18:13 Related character dump: Patient Reflection, L50 Sprite Mirror-Master Comments?

That one that confuses, slows, sleeps, stuns, etc, everything in LoS sounds pretty killer. I'm curious to see how exactly that final damage one works. If you can stack it with other stuff, you might be able to really do some damage. On 25.7.2005 14:57 blackreaver368@yahoo.com wrote: I finished the job with just 7 ordinary, unboosted Super Rays. Damage is still on the order of 200hp, so that was fine. I could have setup some more mirrors and then lured the GHW until everything lined up, but this was not necessary as the wyrm was down to 3 stars or so from our initial skirmish. Dimension Door (Mirror Tunnelling) is awesome! Combine this with the ability to quickly regenerate your mana, and you are good for some of the high level uniques. So far, Ithaqua is the best I have managed. I'm still getting used to many of the spells. I had been disregarding the Illusion Light spell, as there is typically just one critter in my LoS anyway, and it is busy getting pelted with Super Rays. But when you get a message like "The Great Bile Wyrm is suspended" then that is truly awesome! OK, I'll recharge my mana and setup some more mirrors while you just hang out suspended. Once things are setup again, then I'll wake you up with a couple of Super Rays! Suspension does not appear to work on uniques, though (obviously!). I only had a couple of chances to try this out though, as I have been playing *way* too much lately :-) Seen 1939 times. |
