Default Re: How do I Deal with Living Statues and Raiding Tarts?

Golem vs. Tart: Holy Scourge would be a better choice. With the Golem's base ST of 25, the extra 9 points of damage (AP) is less important than the Scourge's 2x attacks. Suppose the Tart has Prot 28. Flambeau will do (25 + 13)x3 - 28/2 points of damage on average, for 100 points of damage on average. Holy Scourge will do (25 + 4)x2 - 28 points of damage for 59 points of damage on average, twice, for a total of 118 points of damage. That's 18% more damage for 1/3 the cost (Holy Scourge is 5 gems, Flambeau is 15).
