Re: Astral on an Immortal Pretender
 

did you have astral 6 base or equiped with items ? Since magic duel counts your base skill as i recall (not your buffs/eqipment).

I was the one firing the duel and it was a tie with both mages dying. When you are the one in control of the strong astral mage, a tie is definitely a loss http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Are you sure about that, homer? I thought that items boosted you but I wasnt sure about buffs.

I have not been doing any testing with it no, but i have heard it from several people. If someone wants to test it i would be intrested to know the results http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

I seem to recall a thread from the dom2 forum reaching the definitive conclusion (in the form of word from On High) that only the base astral level counts for magic duel.

That might have changed for dom3, but I rather doubt it.
