Request: Tips for LA T'ien Chi

Just keep in mind that afflictions are more psychological warfare than an invasion-stopper. In practice, Leprosy will probably create more afflictions than the D9 battle mage. However, the battle mage doesn't cost gems.

I played around a bit with it last night as well. Ooops, can't get a PoD. After playing with it a bit, I agree that the way to go is minor bless.

So, the timer is running and I've got to make up my mind. Anyone want to chime in?

either
master lich - master lich gets a discount on death by starting at 3, but is weak yet immortal
or
Ghost King - stealthy, ethereal and can SC with items, ghost production

All Dom 5, dormant
Good Scales with minor rainbow
2 Order, 2 Prod, 3 Heat, 1 Growth, 2 Luck, 2 Drain
M Lich 4F,4W,4D,4N
GK 1F,4W,4D,4N
or
medium scales with medium rainbow
0 Order, 0 Prod, 2 Heat, 1 Growth, 2 Luck, 2 Drain
M. Lich 4F,1A,4W,1E,4S,4D,4N
GK 4F,4W,4D,4N + 2(A or E or S)
or
turmoil/luck scales with good rainbow
3 Turmoil, 0 Prod, 3 Heat, 1 Growth, 3 Luck, 2 Drain
M Lich 4F,4A,4W,3E,4S,4D,4N
GK 4F,4A,4W,1E,3S,4D,4N

I'd like to lean towards the GK, I hate imprisoned, and I like luck, minor bless priorities would be death, water, nature, fire, other

[jutetrea]

After writing that all out I'm leaning towards turmoil GK or good scales ML (top and bottom choices)

Great Enchantress gives you one free Astral Pearl every turn. That's a nice little bonus to consider....

If you like GK's try:
Imprisoned Ghost King
Dom 5
F2(phoenix pyre and maybe fire shield)
E3(summon earthpower, protection boosters, maybe battle magic with/without fire)
D3(fear, good access to death with items+summons, soul vortex)
N2(personal regen)
Order 3
Prod 1
Cold 1
Growth 1
Misfortune 2
Magic 1

Then you have 60 points to spend on something(100 if you take misfortune 3) such as D5 or 1 pick in a new path+1 extra scale(growth or production probably)
