Quick question on seeking arrow...

[MaxWilson]

Bear in mind that most afflictions don't actually matter. Limps are mostly taken care of by another star of experience, and even Cripple doesn't matter on a mage. Blind, Chest Wound, and Cripple matter on an SC, and Mute and Feebleminded (or Diseased) matter on a researcher--causing afflictions will annoy your opponent and a D10 bless is good if you've got it anyway, but don't spend the gems on Seeking Arrow unless you're more likely to kill somebody than afflict him.

Seeking Arrow spam can be useful for stopping armies or knocking out important commanders so that they are absent from a crucial battle. Nothing like having a couple of key mages killed or getting your primary commander knocked out so that your troops get left behind, but a smart MP opponent will be prepared for this.
