Mike and 2

09:34 AMMike, I was wondering when you brought Zanagan to 2. What strategies did you use? Also, did you use good equipment or just throw away crap since seras curse? Thanks bro.

11:08 AMBack when I was there, we could bolt caedera...plane 2 was my least liked plane as a wizard, it sucks pretty bad. Witches are brutal, though I heard their bolts have been downtweaked? They used to bolt lightening at 650+ which was pretty brutal. I didn't use bad equipment, I think I was cursed by Seras twice and would just throw my stuff in my backpack and stumble to the door or mirror. I think Seras are somewhat boilable, but probably take quite a bit of mana, and I think their TD is a bit high for Tonis, not sure on that though. Caederas, I used to ewave and bolt, not sure if thats a possibity anymore. Things turn around big time when you can hit plane 3. Once you can do 3, the rest of the rift is wizard fodder..Plane 2 blows for wizards though.

05:23 PMWhy do the GMs continue to downtweak areas? I really don't understand. It should be REAL interesting to see what Faendryl will look like 2 years from now..probably be a damn cakewalk. Sure witch bolts might of been extreme, but it added a danger to the area, and I think its needed.

Witches major shock at 560, that is just as dangerous as a 640, and just as dangerous as a 540329 AS... for a wizard anyways.

Since the typical wizard in brig defends against bolts with no more than 400 DS, he's a goner either way.

<< Caeds are next to impossible to bolt. >>

All I use are bolts against caederas. Perhaps you're speaking of before the GP changes. Plane 2 isn't half as hard as it used to be, vrael witches were never huntable by wizards, all the other critters though are pretty easy.

06:34 PMFor a wizard the difference might be slim, but for other classes it must of made an impact.

06:40 PMWhat type of DS do witches have? I'll make it a point to kill one with a blue crystal and madness.

07:00 PMI forget, I tried to do it once, I think I asked Mystiss to tackle it for me first, I could hit it, but couldn't do a ton of damage. Of course I was only about .25x trained in CM as opposed to your 1x, so you might have better luck. I know of no wizard to have killed one.

07:40 PMWhen Zentalin gets of a ripe age on 2, I'll post a log of me wrecking one while wearing my hauberk. Also, after I hit 117 I'll post logs of me 2x mstriking warlocks on 3.

04:50 AMWitches ds gets over 500 on the ground. I died about 10 times one day trying to kill one by myself. Good luck though.

I think Suvar has killed them. He had a weapon that could do instant death crits way back when. That was before Haste tweaks.
