IMO, this attitude right here is the source of much of your frustration with the game.

This isn't chess. NOTHING should be guaranteed. Every tactic has a counter, every counter has a counter, and none of them should work 100% of the time.

Bottle of water = immunity to earth attacks. There are things that do work 100% of the time.


Just did the test: worked 18 times in a row. Commander retreated due to water elemental getting hit too hard. The water elemental definitely would have won the battle.

so because there isn't a way to immune, it's overpowered ?

EXACTLY. Anything in which it is impossible to be immune is overpowered.

Remember my water queen thread? My aegis shield thread? What other debates did I start? Those were all based on precicely this point.

Well, just to make it absolutely clear:

NO GUARANTEE OF IMMUNITY = WAD. Working as designed. Working PRECISELY as it should be

There is no guarantee, there is not supposed to be one. You do not have a point!

You've a really simple view of some things.

Following your logic a spell which just win you the complete game is overpowered. Regardless it cost 1 gem or 1.000.000!

Anyway, I'm no longer interested in trying to convince people that Manifestation is overpowered. It was fun while it lasted. This is definitely my last thread I'm going to create before I leave.
