Buff That Bod!

I deliberately chose the lower level buffs to see how the experts rate them. The contest was just for amusement value.

Allfather : Ironskin, Mirror Image, Luck, BoW
GK : Ironskin, Fire Resist, BoW, Luck. And he his already ethereal
Saurolich : Fire resist, Pers Regen, Luck, BoW. The idea here is to limit afflictions, as it is immortal.

Immortals heal afflictions, and personal regeneration dosn't work on a lifeless being.

Quickness, Ironskin, Mistform, Personal Luck, Resist Magic

I agree with The_Tauren13.

Quickness has got to be the best buff in the game (besides blood vengeance, I guess). +3 attack, +3 defense, increased movement, -and- two attacks a round? Wow.

Personal luck is probably better, since it doubles your hitpoints.

meh, quickness is over-rated (luck is extremely valuable, though). For a wraith sword thug, quickness is almost essential, but for a pretender SC, against indies, some sort of damage shield is more important.

Let's say you are mobbed by qhostriders. quickness won't get you very far, but a fireshield will wipe out most of them. Or BoW against fanatics...

Against another quality SC, I have a penchant for astral weapon, myself, and mirror image if i've gone the high defense route.

against mass chaff, regen is very nice, but mistform (some good armor along w/ it) is non-pareill

and luck is always a two-fer.
