Which skill goes best with Morrigor unique sword?

#1 Post by Coldbringer »

Playing an undead Reaver, found Morrigor in Dreadfell tower. Which is perfect for her.

Now it's a tough decision as to which skill to absorb and use. Started off with Flame Shock, which was amazing. Then got Forgery of Haze which is also amazing.

I am so torn as to which is better. Having a clone of this badass character for 6 turns rocks, I can swap places with him to escape, he uses all my skills and gets aggro, he ressurects if he gets killed. On the other hand, doing huge aoe stun with fire damage also rocks as I don't have a stun other than Catalepsy, and no fire damage skills ( I like to diversify for whatever comes up ). Plus it's just so much fun to blast huge swaths of fire at crowds of enemies!

Which would you choose? Something else?

Well, I don't think it's a matter of choosing between those two because when you reset the item, it loses whatever skill it currently has. So you need to decide whether to keep what it currently has, or take a chance on getting something better from a new enemy. That ultimately depends on which enemies you come up against.

I tend to stick with it once I find a good skill that complements my build.

True I'd have to find another enemy that uses Flame Shock if I wanted to switch back. I forget which undead I picked it up from first in Dreadfell tower. And it was 50 50 with that one, I could also get lightning bolt instead which wasn't a bad alternative.

I'm afraid to experiment with getting new skills because I'd need another master vampire to get Forgery of Haze back.

I think of the 2 I'd stick with forgery of haze. It's been a long time since I had Morrigor. I remember I used blood boil on it for a pretty long time. The AoE blight damage helped me trigger something, disease spreading maybe?

I'd agree that, in general, Forgery is a great option. It depends on what you're playing, but as you're a reaver, I think a second you is best, because more you = more damage and diseases (if you're going that route)

Yeah I should be happy with what I've got. My forgery clone scared me once, we both got frozen together, she got out first and was hostile towards me for one round. But she was just doing it to break the ice then she went friendly again when I was free! Awww that sweetie!

SO here's a question, if I un-equip Morrigor will it clear the spell it currently has or does it remember it until I purge and absorb a new one? Say I find an awesome tier 5 weapon that I want in the main hand and have to take off Morrigor to switch? Currently dual wielding it with Corpathus which is boss.

You can unequip it and it will keep the current skill.
