Probably, but I was just opening up a funny possibility - with the easy reachable boots of quickness, that would be 4 bolas per turn (sent very far for the streng and very precisely for the equally easy to reach Eye of Aiming, Aim, Eagle Eyes btw do they stack? I think they do) and 2 gazes of death I think. Something very close to a machinegun ^_^

About fire access, I think it's not a big issue, maybe he already got it in the pretender for a bless, but I think he can even find some fire mage around easily, don't forget he's in EA and bolas are just F1

I thought Formoians only have one eye... so the eye of aiming would !??*& (i.e. you would regret it)

Ahah it's true, I was just thinking about their air magic, didn't actually think about that ^^ Still Aim and Eagle Eyes should do the work ^^

(Oh Ming, you made me remember about the first time i discovered the eye of aiming, and tried to put TWO on a commander XD )

I believe Eagle Eyes and Aim (and Wind Guide) don't stack, sadly!

I would be willing to bet they put in special code to take away his Gaze attack if he lost his only eye, too. They're crafty like that.

Balor's pretty bad-***... just keep him away from Firbolg Snipers w/ Eyes of Aiming and Vision's Foe.
