Not salty about this one because it was closer than I thought it would be. Kinda sucks dying to fury RNG though. (I would of stuck around if you didn't take my staff =P)

 

I think if I did this fight again I would of ran after I fled the first time and wait for fury to wear off, although I probably would of walked into traps which is why I did the stand and wait strat.

 

Is Armageddon smash lag affected by prot shield(I know it dropped but I'm not sure either way)?

Anonymous poster hash: 41ea5...cd6

[Mmm Coffee]

The obvious:  Don't spam spells

The not so obvious:  There's no sense spamming firestorm over and over.  It lasts 0-1 rounds and you can't get the fireblind by re-casting once it's already up.  Only on the initial cast AFAIK.  Pump it when you're not fighting.  Spamming fireball would possibly have been a better idea there pending Kelmi's saves.

Also like you mentioned, with that many furys stacked on you...time to leave.

[Manual Labour]

I know nothing about firestorm...you can pump it up?

[Zavero]

I'm not certain but it looks like he was attempting to cast fireball after he cast firestorm. I could be wrong.

Yes, protective shield does block the lag from Armageddon smash.

If you had it up, you would have won the encounter most likely.

[Celerity]

Casting firestorm when it is already up gives it the same burst as the explode on tick. This can blind.

If you want to lower the rng and lag yourself less, use flame arrow. It has synergy with your fire shield and will do very good damage.  Short lag means more attempts, evenining out the fury rng. Call lightning is likely better damage, but you can use flame arrow indoors, when there are other mobs and to chase. Don't bother with fireball/hellstream/firestorm(recasting).

 

[Izzy]

Recasting firestorm can blind even when its already up.

 

Had you used lightning, he might have died.

You don't have your Firestorm mastered. Spell proficiency has/had an impact in fury. The higher the less likely you will fail spells. This coupled with high INT is the only thing that will aid you. If you are fighting him consistently, try to master all fire spell and get the +%prof to fireball. Target is 110%.
Also, if you can, increase your %parry. Since he wields mace/dagger and invokers know both, that extra % will aid you.

Try to get a Demon pit staff. It's owner only, so no one can take your fully charged staff from you or break it.

Regarding Flame arrow. It's lag is the same as fireball, and I never seen a Fire-shield pumped flame arrow beat a fireball. But I could be wrong. So use call lightning. I during PK vs someone new I always throw fireballs. From the damage you will get an rough estimate of his aff saves. So coupled with a look at his gear will allow you to decide what to use.
If Fireballs does low damage, so high saves, start throwing Call Lightning. If you notice low AC and thus low damage, use Ice-Storm.

Firestorm is definitely mastered.

Don't fight a thief near your cabal with 2 exits.   Big no no number one.  

Get scroll of detect traps to see traps and scrolls of defusion to remove them.

Don't spam firestorm.  

You casted 0 successful offensive spells and nearly won.   

Keep a closer eye on spells.  As a savant your spells should Never run out.

All good advice, there is also a way to make it so he can not blackjack you, an invoker never wants to be poisoned.

[Celerity]

Flame arrow isn't nearly as affected by aff saves as fireball. A fireball can give a graze or whatever against good saves...a flame arrow will do consistent damage regardless of saves. Against anyone except those who have any kind of decent aff saves, flame arrow will do better. I seem to remember consistent mangles (without damage reduction) against non-vuln targets.

In my experience as an invoker, you really only need these damage spells:

Call lightning for damage

Flame arrow/icicle for when you can't use call lightning or chasing (you can cast and follow someone fleeing almost to the point where they can't run away...I think I got something like 20 straight flame arrows against Kanal trying to flee from me)

Ice storm /hellstream for breaking equipment only or as a rare finisher

The steam spell for hitting the dwarf/duergar vuln

Jet of steam is an invokers best spell in my opinion.

An invokers greatest power is speed.   Getting the opener with a high damage spell already puts you that far ahead.

As for the blackjack trick....It was removed and as far as I remember was made illegal

[mya]

I never seen any imm say it was illegal. And frankly thieves have ways around it. If  certain other things can still prevent it, I don't see why the Savant only non direct protection would be illegal.

No there is another chesta.  Maybe if you actually played the game...... ?

If you're referring to the first mate, I didn't have nearly enough time to make it there in time plus the damage I'd take getting there. 

As for the extra Firestorm I did, I had it waiting to be entered because I thought he would walk in on the ticket when it fell and pressed enter because I assumed it had but actually didn't fall. 

Regardless of what spell I used,  none of them went off so kind of a moot point.

This is my first savant so I learnt a lot, I'll make sure to use reverse time next time lol.

Eventually the rolls will turn the other way and those failed casts land and he dies.

You should ALWAYS be using reverse time especially as a mysterum. Chronoshield needs to be cast somewhere remote at the same time as paradox everytime and reversed everytime it is up without fail. 

You should also be finding every potion, herb, scroll, stave, wand in the game that has a buff you need.  Casting them all then reversing them.

All good advice, there is also a way to make it so he can not blackjack you, an invoker never wants to be poisoned.

Getting failed blackjacks from mobs shouldnt exist. It should only be able to work from failed blackjack attempts from PKers.

You shouldn't be able to smoke leaves when you get dispelled.  When your are dispelled we are in a fight, good luck acutally smoking.

What is a good tactic for keeping your cps up? Sounds like it would cost a bit. 

Besides flesh armor and stone skin, fly and protection what buffs do you recommend?

People shouldn't really try and use reality as an argument in FL.

How many things constantly happen in combat that are not fathomable in real life.

Someone having a quick smoke of a dried herb is not the most outrageous thing I can think of that happens in FL combat by a long shot.

virtuous light from the fate generator since you are good and bless of course. Vitalize from the hamlet.  The thing is even if it is a short duration, that doesnt matter to you.  

 

A medium guild quest gives you 90 cp. Just run them in your down time. 

 

On the smoking in combat thing I personally find it lame as hell lol.  The mage is risking a non productive round of combat on a fail, while their melee opponent can literally sit there not entering commands, dishing out damage, just waiting for the dispel so they can use their smoke alias to reapply sanc.  Thus neutralizing the attempt.  Most mages cannot blind effectivly, and those that can risk curing the blind.  

 There should be some price for this, lag, chance to fail, something.  They shouldn't be able to refresh it in combat for less lag than it takes to dispel in my opinion.

I see people are knowledgeable on what should and shouldn't happen.

Tell me then, if we are going to be so anal about realism and fairness....

Should there be a command that automatically flees for you, in the middle of the round, with no lag penalty?

Should a mage be able to get the HP pool of a melee, and even higher?

 

Your guys are funny, because your bias is so obvious... but you forget that mages benefit from the same things melees do. If a mage is skilled he will know timing and when to dispel. Just like if a warrior is skilled he will know timing and when to dirt/disarm. It's not fair for a warrior to disarm your weapon/shield just so your trigger can re-wear it before the round even firing, but that's what separates the good from the average. You have skills/spells and you know when to use them. Just like a good mage will know when to dispel his opponent.

Timing is such an important skill to learn and you want to take it away. Why?
