Re: Epic Mage Armor nerf........

Karate was a lot of fun, the hp on that toon always seemed abyssmal though.

If memory serves, you had evoc focus for a time while testing bigby 9. What was the final verdict on that, and maybe you could test prismatic spray as well =)

A cap of +20 exists on saving throws increased by means of magical equipment, spells or spell-like feats. There is no limit however on increases to saving throws from feats (example Iron Will or from abilities (a constitution score increased via the endurance spell or potion from 20 to 22 subsequent...

Re: Epic Mage Armor nerf........

Lets say 64 ab after the -4 from imp kd vs 75 ac for simplicity. So the attack sequence is 65 65 60 55 50 The probability of hitting on those swings is 50%, 50%, 25%, 5%, 5% After ii and blind fight they are 37.5%, 37.5%, 18.75%, 3.75%, 3.75% Now if you play your mage anything like me, you run and c...

Re: Epic Mage Armor nerf........

I was trying to refrain from posting, but the idiocy of the posts sucked me back in. In response to how clerics only have 60ac: Clr with divine shield is 70 ac Clr with monk is 70+ as well This isn’t even using a gith for 4 dodge ac. If clerics aren’t building for 70ac, I think it might be something...

Re: Epic Mage Armor nerf........

I have cast 105 prismatic sprays against gabriel leonsbane and his flunkies, Aaron cranston was also kind enough to cast some at me. There is no autokill unless it require spell focus feats. Assuming such an autokill exists for those with spell focus feats, I don't think you can fault the player bas...

Re: Epic Mage Armor nerf........

In response to tep: 1)I have only been hit by bigby damage once, Primarch got me while resting. My AC is simply too high (70). When it comes to top tier characters, the AC is often too high. Assuming their AC isn’t sufficiently high, they carry dismissal rods. 2)Saves are too easy. I’ve never been h...

Re: Epic Mage Armor nerf........

Please enlighten... Pure fighter is so weak on saves and at most as fast as you are. Wizard has so many disabling spells between bigsby and different mind spells you are really playing wrong class if he makes it to you and manages to spend one round to use the token. Try sloting different spells or...

Re: Epic Mage Armor nerf........

With all the hate against IGMS and caster AC, I thought I would do a post detailing the difficulties of playing an offensive caster. Note: this has nothing to do with casters that shift, hybrids that melee, or buffbots. The difficulties can be summed up in 3 parts: Survivability, Saves, and Save-lik...

Re: PP Revamped

Some thoughts. I admit I am not entirely clear on the current implementation, but pickpocketing would fit in nicely with my reroll of D2 =) 1) Disarming can only target a weapon, not anything else, so it is very limited in scope. PP would need to also be similarly narrow. 2) You know exactly who dis...

Re: Champion of Aetheria!!!!!!

1) Am I to assume no restrictions on any other consumables? Mantle pots/scrolls pretty much prohibit casters from having a chance. 2) If you drop out of combat from running circles are you allowed to restealth? What if the character has HiPS? 3) Regen spells and vampiric regen stuff ok? 4) Any restr...
