Re: What are all the ways to increase attack skill
Did some tests: Poison Golem with two eye shields will die attacking the water queen with medusa shield.

Re: What are all the ways to increase attack skill
Just use insti-kill. Soul Slay, Disintegrate, Moon Blade. Stuff like that

Re: What are all the ways to increase attack skill
How hard is it to get through 23 magic resistance with 3, 2, or 1 penetration and 4 nature casting charm?

Re: What are all the ways to increase attack skill
Another test: Purposely blinded a poison golem with two eyes of aiming. Blindess does not protect you against Medusa shield. Is this a bug? However, naturally blind units are protected.

Re: What are all the ways to increase attack skill
Are they? We had a thread just the other day where someone said they weren't - only beings with the hidden 'stone' tag were.

Re: What are all the ways to increase attack skill
Yeah, I just did the test. Fire elementals didn't get affected by the water queen. Water queen died from fire elementals. It's stupid if a medusa shield kills constructs. Poison golem should be immune.

Re: What are all the ways to increase attack skill
Another test: Sandals of the Crane + Spirit helm
Basically this combination will cause the poison golem to teleport infinitely and cast lightning bolt infinitely.
However, the golem routed, even with 50 morale. What the hell?

Re: What are all the ways to increase attack skill
Argitoth,
Have a good read of the magic resistance section of the manual. There a lot of details that are critical. I learned a lot last night doing just this. I am on the other side of the problem, as I have SC who keep getting knocked out by astral spells like paralyze and, especially enslave mind. I am trying to boost my MR, but knowing how to penetrate it is closely linked.
Rune smasher is not the only item to boost penetration and boosting the levels of the caster is also important. If you have communion capability, you should really explore that, as that can really boost your penetration.
