Default Re: Global spell tactics ?

A) Which globals are your favourite ones ?
Haunted Forest and Astral Corruption - for the fun factor.

Quote:
B) How many gems do you usually invest in your more important globals you would like to have up for a while ?
I'd spent everything I have, but I don't rely on GEs much in multiplayer. I've played dozens of MP games since early 2001 and I remember casting only 2 GEs total, both Haunted Forest (that's including the one you heard of, when I subbed for that dying Pangaea).

Quote:
When do you cast them ?
When I think it annoys my enemies the most .

Quote:
Do you make them perhaps even a research priority ?
Never in multiplayer. Except one time - I entered a game as Abysia, with Astral Corruption in mind, but the game ended before I could cast it.

Quote:
C) How do you normally dispel ?
Depends if I know the opposing player enough to play the outguess game. Otherwise, if I really want that GE to be dispelled, and have absolutely no clue about how many gems have been invested to buff it, I'll burn everything I have. Although I'll ask for assistance (extra gems from other players) first.

Of course, the 'ideal' way to dispel a GE would be to cast the same GE for yourself , but I never had an occasion to do so.

Quote:
D) If your global with only base costs got dispelled can you bring it up again with only using base costs ( if there is still a slot free ) ?
Would you rather try a 999 gem casting
Eek. I never played a long enough game to amass that many gems of one kind, even when taking alchemy into account!
