Couple of questions

Post by Raven »

First of all I play as a cleric mage lv 18/16 (I think). I have a couple of questions about spells.
Witch spell are best against demons, mindflayers and drow.
Is their some sort of list of resistances for monsters. Like against kua toa fire based attacks work very well.
And versus the red dragon ice.

And how are the other abilitie of fighter since I only see greater whirlwind mentioned, how are deathblow and smite?

About the Smite, deathblow, Warcry, Power Atack, Resist Magic abilities, well......, I can say that Greater Whirwind and Critical Strike are very good abilities.

The Demons: Better low him MR and them any damege spell, for Clerics Bolt of Glory is a very good spell against demons.

Drows: You have to low their resistance, But as they are not so powerfull and walk in groups(You'll have to drop MR one for one), so is better sumons spells or straight fight.

Mind Fleyers: Don't remember, I ever use that Psi-blade.

Are you in a party or are you soloing? If you are in a party, I wouldn't BOTHER reducing the Drow's MR. Most of the drow you meet at this level are frankly fairly weak in straight combat. Let your tanks take them out (get the priestesses first!)

As for Demons, I just never found them that hard. If you want to use spells on them, then Bolt of Glory works very well against demons....and I believe since it a specific anti-demon spell it bypasses MR. I might be wrong about that, but I *think* it does. If you /really/ want to be sure the demon is dead, put 'bolt of glory' in a spell sequencer. Very few Demons or Devils will be able to stand up to that.
