EA Arco - uncle moneybags

[thejeff]

I haven't used them extensively, but Sidhe Lords should have the same problem (maybe a couple more hp, but not enough to change the equation).
I've definitely seen them take a good number of hits without breaking the mistform. If it only needs 3-4 hp that seems unlikely.
And mistform on an actual high hp SC should be almost unbreakable without magic weapons, but I've seen them lose it too.

Are you sure about that definition?

I've tried it, and it works great. The main thing is the awe though. With awe +5 almost no hits get through, and they very seldom pop the mistform. She can script "air shield" as well. Against anything except high morale giants, undead and tramplers, she is near invincible.

Yeah, the awe is true enough. Still... I do not know why but I feel some reluctance to have a 400 gold, fully kitted 10 HP ubermage melleeing at the front lines...

I did use them, and they worked really well in groups of three. I had to make a couple tweaks:

• forge ring of lightning resist - my bodyguards weren't keeping enough cavalry, wolves, flying, etc off the mages to prevent casting
• issue with cold - I lost a few to cold auras because of stoneskin
• for revig - I used boots of messenger on E2, and earth boots + amu of resilience for E1 so I could cast summon earthpower w/o gems.
