Balor...

D1ce2 · #1 01-06-2004, 05:50 PM

I was wondering if Balor could have a amulet of some kind that adds you fire resistance since all balor has is Flaming aura, It would be alot better,
And Bile does not have a Relic either, Why not make a belt for Bile or something?

Belt? srew that, give him a sweet-looking scythe and i'd be over to bile in a flash (as long as the scythe was given at low level, since all his spells are high

)

a weapon?

They don't have relics because they make up for it with other advantages.

Govannon resist fire, Balor already resist magic+30 which is REALLY damn good. What more do you want? Oh, almost forgot laming aura - yet you still want an advantageous relic?

Flaming Aura alone is way too much. In my opinion, they should take away the resist magic +30.

Why does everyone bash on Balor? Maybe it's just because people run around too fast for you to be able to stop them from using Flaming aura?

Well Balor should remain how it is... if not... Flaming Aura damage adjusted to wisdom level more... like say base 3 damage + 2 per wisdom level...

Benefits of Balor that no one ever looks at?
Flaming Aura - Makes Balor look too good
Vitriol... trust me... no one wants to even face this.
Magic Resistance - With everyone wearing Rings of War or Strife... this is needed...

Now the flaws...
The stats... yuck...
The repelled protection and restoration
The fact that Flaming Aura will never help against something fire immune.
The Fear attacktype that some people have +100 resistance to.

No change. (cept maybe the damage)

Flaming aura is for one too big. Second, it is not meant to destroy everything. Three, it is supposed to REFLECT spells. I forget if it is bullets or what, but that is what an aura does. Different aura types reflect different types of magical damage, some even prevent the user from being physically harmed, acting as a forcefield-like aura.

I'm still suprised nobody has bothered to get vitriol yet. It's such a powerful spell on CF, and I've heard people get 150 grace before, plus the spell is only level 8 (I think). I don't know why people don't get it, you would level wisdom so fast in a map with that spell, it just annihilates all (I'd follow Balor for it if 1.I wasn't a mage and 2.I could get 150 grace)

How do you know that Vitriol will be the same on Graal as it is on CF..?

Becaus they can't be stopped, unless you're using aura too, or they're just really slow for some reason

Actually people using flaming aura are easy to beat...
Just go to the top of a room, cast icestorm down, run through your icestorm(person has to follow).
Go to the bottom of room, cast icestorm up, repeat. Person either follows and gets hurt or stands and gets hurt...their choice.

My fire resist is so high laming aura is useless <3

D1ce2 · #12 01-07-2004, 12:52 AM

I am going to get that spell >

On CF, flaming aura usually can kill some things if you let them sit in the aura for a few seconds, like on graal. On CF, things in a vitiol splash die MUCH faster. Example of this, I leveled a balor character on CF once, got myself flaming aura at level 1 (had 50 grace which isnt hard if you have other characters or choose a good race), and leveled until I was level 10 on zombies, being weak to fire sped things up, but taking down giants would be suicide. Once I could get vitriol, everything died. FAST. (Including myself if I misjudged the size of the area effect or fired against a monster point blank...) Even with 78 acid resistance you still die fairly quickly, even at low levels.

That's why I'm assuming it'll be a great spell on GK, since it completely rocked on CF.
