Sieging question

GrudgeBringer · #1 May 8th, 2010, 12:49 PM

If I am being beieged in a fort and I drop in 2 or 3 castors of Rain of Stones.

1. Will it hurt the forts garrison if I DON'T have it set to break siege.

2. Is it considered a Magical attack and will hurt the Eterel beings.

If I don't kill them all and set to retreat, they SHOULD go back to a friendly province (if adjacent) and NOT the castle garrson.

As long as I am asking unusual questions...Will the robe of Calius protect agianst ..king of Banefire or that type of attack?

It says protects agianst all elements and Magic so I wpould assume so. Never ran in to this mutt before....grrrr

Thanks

If by drop you mean cloud trapeze or teleport, they will end up inside the fort, not fighting the army besieging it, if you own the fort.

I don't think rain of stones works against ethereal beings (or rather, they still get their 75% save).

I don't believe there is any way to protect against Banefire. I'm fairly sure the robe wouldn't help.

Banefire is armor piercing non-elemental damage. It's basically like getting shot in the face with a crossbow. Only luck and protection will help you with surviving banefire attacks.

The robe of calius just adds to your elemental resistance and magic resistance stats. Nothing so interesting

I don't know if magic resistance protects you from the decay effect of banefire, perhaps?

Oh, yes. The decay effect appears to be mr negates.

OK...then how the Heck do I

1.counter the effects

2. Kill it

Quitti · #8 May 8th, 2010, 02:35 PM

1. MR + high hp and/or protection.
2. Hit it. With sufficient force.

Need more info to give good advice on tactics.
If you are playing your usual arco..
I'd say thug up some oreos and have them seduce.

Hell, if you have access to black hearts, give one to any big tart you have handy and just have him assassinate without stealth.

go in with fly boots and two water bottles... Hmm on second thought if you hit the banefire caster you want your assassin to be smaller than the water elementals.

But then just fly up and whack him.

You can assassinate without stealth but with the black heart? That's good to know! So you can assassinate only when you are under siege in that case?
