A Question of Timing 2: Communion Master/Slave

are there particular spells which are extremely nasty with a communion especially for pythium killing sc's or would it be better to have several arch theurgs casting e.g. soul slay without the communicants ?

The spells you *do* cast, even if it is soul slay or paralyze will benefit from increased magic level and, therefore, better MR penetration, for every communion master. You might especially consider using Enslave, depending on what SCs you are talking about and the risk/reward for that particular SC.

The nice thing about communion is, with randoms, it gives you tons of flexibility in the spells you can cast so it will depend on what kind of SC you are facing and what your research level is. To be more specific, with a base A2, communioned arch theurgs could cast some nasty orb lightnings but does the opposing SC have shock resistance ? There are a ton of spells that are situationally useful, resistance to elements, storm, wrath, etc.

Petrify is a popular SC killer but might be tough with Pyt. Takes a random in earth and what, 16 slaves if you don't have a path enhancer ? Well, 8 and a couple gems maybe but still...

And, of course, the stamina reduction/diffusion don't hurt
