Astral on an Immortal Pretender

[quantum_mechani]

No other real pitfalls, and even the magic duel danger is somewhat over-hyped I believe.

And yes, a dueled immortal pops back up just like with any other death, assuming you were in dominion.

Not so, Q! I just had a 6S mage lose a magic duel to a 1S mage. It was a tragedy!! My people wept.

Was it a one-off lucky shot or did he throw lots of em at you?

You shouldn't have been able to lose, just tie, unless this is yet another change from what's documented. Or were you just considering the mutual deaths of your opponent's crappy mage and your good one a loss?

did you have astral 6 base or equiped with items ? Since magic duel counts your base skill as i recall (not your buffs/eqipment).

[Ironhawk]

I was the one firing the duel and it was a tie with both mages dying. When you are the one in control of the strong astral mage, a tie is definitely a loss

Are you sure about that, homer? I thought that items boosted you but I wasnt sure about buffs.

I have not been doing any testing with it no, but i have heard it from several people. If someone wants to test it i would be intrested to know the results
