Hey there Chatti

[Final Master]

So, this is my favorite mage, and by far my most successful character ever. This might be the fifth or sixth incarnation of her with playing serious mode on.

I haven't actually had too much trouble ever. I can't think of anything other than the first five character levels ever dropping below 150 hp. I have been rather daring to see just how powerful she is with dropping her in the middle of cryo/pyromancers in Vor without stun/freeze resistance up and seeing how hard they can hit; and testing how important hp is right now. It seems hp is a huge factor in her survival, especially if she ever (which won't happen now) gets chain frozen about three times, some occasions dropping her then hp by half (roughly 400/500 damage over 10 turns).

I always have blur, feather wind, stone skin and arcane focus on, and if need be, turn on thunderstorm for 5-10 turns. I always try to have 20 or more healing, mana, cure disease, and cure poison potions on hand, along with acid proof back ups. I then like to run with 10+ greater healing and mana potions for emergencies, while having acid proof versions of these as back up back ups.

I don't care who you are, what you're playing, and if you never run out of mana. Cool downs still happen, so I really feel the need to have 20 or so phase door and teleportation scrolls on hand always. That one turn of getting away until your targeted phase door is reading again really can save your ass.

Oddly though... I haven't really needed near the amount of these items as I feel compelled to carry. With feather wind, I could (theoretically) carry 99 of all of these in all their forms, and STILL have room for a few changes of equipment. I really really like that spell...

The only trouble that I can recall having in recent memory is the slime caves. I am really very surprised that I simply can not do enough damage to end the expanding menace. With corrosive vapor and thunderstorm running, and dropping chain lightning/lightning/manathrust I can get 30 kills a turn easy, but they just multiply even quicker than that. It really is a slime hell... And on that note, that's where I'm at now. I need to go back down and try to put the two remaining (I was able to drop one orb properly) orbs back where they need to go.

On to the dump!

And, DG, spell crit doesn't actually do anything, does it? ;)

[Shoob]

spell crit does affect how much damage yous spells do. If you crit your spells will do more damage, and spell crit is how often your spells are critical.
