Most Useful Items

Besides, sometimes cramming all of those action into a shorter period of time can be useful.
If you spam skellies for example, because then you get a thicker squad each time, which will function better.
Also useful for decimating armies with spammable magic before they reach the mage (especially with short-ranged spells, like Nether Darts).
And its also useful for buffing soldiers (though most of the time, you have no reason to do that), so you can get them all buffed before they reach the enemy/die in a hail of arrows.

Nether darts isnt very short ranged... What do you mean you have no reason to buff soldiers? are you insane? am I insane? aren't buffing spells some of the best in the game? helllp?

and this isn't an insult, just a question. Sorry if it sounds critical.

The confusion is that while buffing spells are very commonly used, most are used for enhancing the caster's combat power. Troop buffs are quite a bit rarer, only body ethereal is used with regularity

Quantom_Mechani is right about what I meant with troop-buffing spells.
And as for Nether Darts, they are range 15, not too short, but much shorter than other damaging spells, and I gave those as an example because Nether Darts is a very powerful spammable spell, which could really benefit from Quickness.

[Frostmourne27]

fair enough. quickness is good on mages. I still don't really see its worth on any sort of SC except maybe if your Sc's stratagy is to kill everything in sight before it gets hit (as opposed to something with regen, luck etc).

Quickness does help mage SCs get their buffs up faster, which can be a life saver.

And it DOES give bonuses to defence and attack.
(are those really all that usefull?)
I see about the troop buffs. Fog warriors? Just wondering.
