MoV usage

[Aezeal]

Crevan has a good point and agood idea there.

I don't think a strat based on wasting a gem costing item can be that usefull very often. For the same number of gems you could cast a ew powerfull spells which would probably have better effect. Or forge a weapon which might kill more pplz in the end on a well equipped thug or SC etc etc

I prefer not to waste my gems (or better.. gems get wasted enough even if I don't try it that strats based on wasting gems don't seem a very good idea)

Well, with a hammer the Medallion is 3 F gems. So, your "few powerful spells" must certainly be battlefield spells, which definitely come with their own pros and cons. I think the concept of the assassin with the MoV is not that they are a cruise missile, but rather that they MAY succeed in their assassination, but if they fail, they may kill their target anyways. In many cases, 3F is well worth killing an enemy mage. And, of course, if you want to actually damage an army outside of battle, THOSE spells are very costly, and have no guarantee of hitting commanders at all.

I like the idea of the added Slave Collar. I never thought to put one on an assassin, but it's a very clever use for what normally seems like sort of a joke item.
