Default Re: Worst Moments!

Which air nations are those, Caelum with Harab Elders? Pythium who don't even need Lightning? Or Vanheim with Svarts?

And most get at least 1 in Death, all they need to do is cast Dust to Dust and your Saurolich is going to be dying.

Undead are some of the easiest things to kill. All they need is a swarm of spring hawks on you with attack rear as their first orders, and your saurolich goes poof.

But I guess if they can cast Wind Ride they wouldn't even try casting Spring Hawks.

There are plenty of ways to stop getting your pretender wind ride'd but unless the person is a complete moron they will more than likely kill you.

Have you ever seen lots of spring hawks and swarms attacking a lvl 8 death pretender with 30 death gems?

One casting of bone grinding and 70% of all of them die. The spring hawks route while pretty much every single swarm-bug dies, and don't forget I have pulled off 5 bone grindings in a single battle EVEN when my pretender was in melee combat. Oh yeah and sauroliches have a great 17 protection. really helps.

But anyway, if you prepare ahead of time for my pretender, there's a chance you could kill it if you have smart mages... Oh shoot I just remembered -7 dominion makes saurolich have like 10 hitpoints or something.

Spring hawks no, but I have seen about 20 eagle warriors do it. They did it twice actually.

Spring Hawks do not rout. They are mindless, ethereal creatures, the same as the other Seasonal Spirits. You're thinking Black Hawks.

OHHH damn that's right.

I was thinking spring hawks were regular hawks.

Are those etheral? Ethereal beings rarely are effecting by bone grinding. So spring hawks would kill me... that is if I was dumb enough not to very EASILY forge a ring of protection from lightning. Problem solved.

But my pretender would still die due to the high dominion, not to mention he might kill himself with bone grinding. Usually I have a 1 astral sacrificial shaman cast body etheral on my pretender. (usually the shaman is effected by etheral too)

Since you live in the U.S.A, I'll go ahead and say this: the correct root word to use is "affect", not "effect". "Effect" is a noun. "Affect" is a verb. You are using the word as a verb. So you should have said "affected by bone grinding", and "affected by ethereal".

That's the English lesson for the day.
