Re: Archmage guide
Noob question, but how do you get Harmony as an AM? I don't see it listed as an escort reward.
Re: Archmage guide
Heart of the Sandworm Queen always gives Harmony to any non undead character.

Time Shield description is not correct on the guide.
Not sure if it was changed after the writing of this guide or not but the end result of TS is a heal, not postponed damage.

Yeah, this guide was before the change. Time shield should be changed to reflect the fact that it is now very, very awesome.Faeryan wrote:Time Shield description is not correct on the guide.

Yep. Prime example of why guides ought to be wiki pages.ekeron wrote:Yeah, this guide was before the change. Time shield should be changed to reflect the fact that it is now very, very awesome.Faeryan wrote:Time Shield description is not correct on the guide.

Maybe someone wants to copy this one over to the wiki and update it?
Re: Archmage guide
having trouble understanding a couple of archmage skills.
highborn bloom. i use this when i need to turn on high mana sustains for a while right like premonition? if i use this, tihs makes the 120 mana premonition i would use free for the 5 turns its active right?
disruption shield: I have gone above 25% mana and its still active. i thought it goes away above 25% mana? this basically absorbs damage and turns it into mana right and raises my arcane resist? so if i take the aether permeation prodigy all my resists go up with this right? then when it goes away i take damage right?
i am a level 39 higher archmage. dont have wildfire or frozen yet. down to my last life. mainly due to careless deaths...
my infusions/runes are regenerate, manasurge, and heal

Re: Archmage guide
Sustains lower your spell points cap, not leech from you every turn. So you can have premonition on 7/24.
Disruption shield needs <25% only for starting, then it stays until you disable it or damage raises your mana than your maximum. I latter case you and everything around is damaged by arcane for several turns and only during that time you have arcane resist.
People usually use Disruption shield as emergency source of mana, but I prefer to keep my mana low at all time and utilise disruption shield as a always-on damage shield. Highborn bloom can work well with it, because even if you don't have much mana when combat starts, you can turn bloom on to start casting when combat starts.
