1 ) Infusions are worth almost nothing as they can outdamage any heal you get. (I have regen 601 and heal 500, wild +res gave 30% but look at 5 )
2 ) Aeryn will dumbly use Illumination which can blind only player...(both of mages are immune to blind)
3 ) Mages have like too much resist all (Elandar 32% and Argoniel 42%)
4 ) Portals are closed by Orb of Many Ways ( if i didnt save scum i would have to die a bit to know that, why not Orbs of Command like in the tunnels?)
5 ) Curse of vulnerability takes off 70% of your all resists, curse of defensless 57 save throws, and acid splash armor by 46 and attack by 41 sum them and you have worthless melee class. Manathrust dealt me once 900+ critical damage.
6 ) Portals are way too far away for melee chars - even if i would have Controled phase door rune it takes 7 turns min to charge it and running while mage shoots at you with 400+ manathrust isnt good idea.
7 ) Antimagic - Aura of silence doesnt do much difference they either resist it or shake it off next turn.(70 will and 65 will while i had 37)
8 ) There is something strange with damage they deal once i had 600 and died next turn and in log only thing i had was 80 darkness damage done to me, other time i got from 1600 to -37 and logs also didnt mention that much damage
9 ) Im sure i was more than ready for final fight - i walked throu all prides like it was nothing(each hit dealt like 800 dmg and some criticals was 1700, and they did like 200 dmg at most except elites which did multi hits/turn, in bloodbath my natural regen was enough to stand it)
10 ) after browsing throu code i saw mages now get natural 20 armor 20 def and also from clothes they wear.
11 ) They have natural 50% stun resistance.
12 ) Game litteraly crawls in term of speed(sometimes takes 20 sec to do anything)
13 ) Elites comming throu portals and summoning next elites doesn't help much, like deamons that can blind/disarm deal massive phy damage.
14 ) Aeryn doesnt make much difference in fight as she drops dead in around 5 turns.
As i tried it about 10 times i only succeded it 1 time when Curse of vulnerability wasnt cast, only mob that came throu portal was ghul, Aeryn didnt cast illumination and was fighting with Argoniel. I menaged to stun(or dazed i dont remember) Elandar, then Shatter Armor and then finish him with few blows. Argoniel didnt make up much resistance after that.
Things to consider to change:
- Curse of vulnerability eigher make it that it will not get negative resistances (0 at most) OR in my opinion better idea make it negates % of resistance and not substract it (i.e 50% of 70% cold resistance gets into 35% cold resist)
- Portals should generate rising in difficulity mobs ( i.e turn 1-4 ghuls or vampires, then turn 5-7 ghasts or master vampires then 8-9 ghoulkings or vampire lords and turn 10+ major undeads this way classes that need to kill to power up gets some)
- Make mages surrounded in shield( like ice wall ) that disappears after closing all portals.(also make time limit?)
- Remove Aeryn Illumination or give her better AI
- Make mages vulnerable to different effects (i.e. Argoniel resistant only to physical effects and Elandar only to magical.)
- Either tone down a bit damage they do or make heal scale to larger numbers.
I have to say that last fight is all about luck.
