Default Re: Anti SC spells

In several MP games that I have played as pythium I used a combination of three MR attacks on SCs.
1. Commanders with eye of aiming and ethereal xbow. Works so so against weak SCs.
2. A. theurgs with rune smasher and spell focus casting Mind hunt (of course after making sure there aren't any astral mages in presence). Works very well, even against high MR SCs (probably due to the fact that there are multiple mind hunters).
3. Crazy communions. Usually bless of e4,s9 and more then 16 communicants with theurgs equiped with spell focus and rune smashers. This works ok, but usually the AI will try to enslave mind instead of soul slay and I think enslave minds is easier to resist so it takes a *lot* of enslave mind attempts to succeed.

Oh and S9 pretender can help with 2 and 3

I have started this thread to learn more about non astral SC killers, specifically in the schools of nature and earth. In those schools, as far as I understand from the posts in this thread, there are petrify and sleep.

This thread contains some fairly important tips so I'll probably add it to my dom-II KB [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/ArrowRight.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon13.gif[/img]
