Worst enemy

#1 Post by Tom »

Hello.

Without beeing an expert, I'd like to raise the question of your favourite characters arch nemesis.

So far I made it to lvl 24 and last game I died in the Dark Crypt. I refuse to ignore a Lady's call for help. :)

And as much I hate those elven mages who weaken me, I hate another foe even more.

Tom, hobbit rogue, hate elite archers with pinning attack.
They deal a tremendous amount of damage with those double shots and if one is pinned, it is very very dangerous.
Not only that, they run away those cowards. Run until they get a clean shot.

What is your favourite characters arch enemy?

Tom

My most hated relatively common enemies are clearly Dreadmasters and luminous horrors. And I perfectly understand your problem with elite archers.

Definitely snakes, they can cut your health to half in 3-4 turns, worst early game enemies.

Velessra the luminous horror. With 100% light and fire resist (and pretty high resist all), it is the bane of Sun Paladins everywhere. The list of talents below should illuminate why it was too much to handle for my level 30 Sun Paladin:

Code: Select all

[talents] = {
  [T_LIGHTNING] = 7
  [T_ATTACK] = 1
  [T_LIFE_TAP] = 6
  [T_FLAMESHOCK] = 6
  [T_SEARING_LIGHT] = 4
  [T_ACID_STRIKE] = 6
  [T_FREEZE] = 6
  [T_MANA_POOL] = 4
  [T_DISPERSE_MAGIC] = 6
  [T_CORRUPTED_STRENGTH] = 7
  [T_DRAIN] = 7
  [T_PHASE_DOOR] = 13
  [T_BARRIER] = 4
  [T_CATALEPSY] = 6
  [T_TELEPORT] = 6
  [T_DISPLACEMENT_SHIELD] = 6
  [T_ARCANE_POWER] = 13
  [T_PROBABILITY_TRAVEL] = 6
  [T_RESTORATION] = 6
  [T_WEAPON_COMBAT] = 25
  [T_TIME_PRISON] = 6
  [T_HEAL] = 6
  [T_FIREBEAM] = 4
  [T_CORROSIVE_VAPOUR] = 6
  [T_POSITIVE_POOL] = 1
  [T_HEALING_LIGHT] = 4
  [T_VIM_POOL] = 1
  [T_REGENERATION] = 6
  [T_STONE_WALL] = 6
  [T_FLAME] = 7
  [T_CHANT_OF_FORTITUDE] = 4
  [T_PROVIDENCE] = 4
  [T_TRAP_DETECTION] = 6
  [T_REND] = 7
}
A character of a different class probably could have beaten it, but it would still have been a difficult battle. This was a cool ending for my character, though 8)

Why has nobody mentioned orc cryomancers yet? freeze-repulse-freeze-freeze-repulse-freeze-freeze.

Elite archers that pin are also nasty.

Ghoul kings, one look at them makes the toughest of my characters cry. seems every hit gets me with a minimum of three diseases that do between 5 and 24 damage per turn for 24 turns.
i die inside when i am surrounded by corpses, my wild infusion still has a cooldown of seven, i have seventeen turns diseased left, and forty health.
the next logs look something like this
Ghoul king does 15 damage
Ghoul king does 20 damage
Ghoul king does 13 damage
you fall to the ground because of your gross diseased body.
ghoul king mocks you from hell
your corrupted cormac weeps at his pathetic death
now realize you sunk about six hours into watching *that* happen

Probably skeleton master archers for me, solely due to their &%#!ing pinning attack. Weirdling Beast comes close due to its propensity for healing itself at inopportune times. For low-level dwarves in recent betas though, brecklorns. Stupid little "run away while sniping with Spit Blight" buggers... grrrr.

The new revamped horrors can join the list too. Temporal dredges, temporal stalkers and void horrors are also quite annoying nowadays.

Annoying as in challenging and requiring different tactics or just annoying annoying? (And I take it this is on insane right? *doesn't think Dervis plays anything else*)

Challenging, of course. They're probably one of the most dangerous monster type out there.

Dervis, you realize you just jinxed yourself to have a room full of radiant horrors guarded by luminous horrors and void horrors, right? :twisted:
