Seravin Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 If an illithid is drained, I don’t think they shock, they would just die. But being able to shock, absorb, recast, absorb seems like a lot of healing on a damage heavy combo. Not to mention vamp touch. Yes it takes some finesse and risk, but that’s still a ton of healing.

Mmm Coffee Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Frankly, it doesn't take a ton of risk/finesse when your opponent's damage potential is calculable and the skill has ZERO lag. That's why he waited to use it in the first place. After shock, he just stood there in the fight doing nothing for ~4 rounds, just waiting until the right time. He could have ordered a rescue or flee/re-enter but he didn't. He knew how much damage he was taking, he baited Oiydi until he was hurt enough that the surprise acid blast would win. It was a great tactic, yes, but not particularly risky for the necro. The only thing that could have screwed with his plan would have been a meteor swarm that actually worked right before he consumed the golem. Link to comment
kamikazi Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Sear should also hurt an illithid seriously, since they got a weakness to light. Not sure around what time you guys were fighting, but I would give it a go. Link to comment
Trick Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Can the necromancer keep summoning the flesh golem? Why not just kill the flesh golem before this becomes an issue? Link to comment

kamikazi Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Well...The bmgs blades and sharpmetals were hitting the golem the entire fight and it still lived. Not sure everyone can kill it quickly enough, before he gets blasted away by the necro. Link to comment
kamikazi Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 And if you focus on the golem, the necro is still going to be at 100% when it dies, so... Link to comment
Ulmusdorn Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 That bmag is doing crazy amounts of damage to that necro. From the fights I've seen - She will never normally not even enter shock. Someone test the golem thing please? Link to comment
Celerity Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Well you should not 'normally' enter shock in a fight. That would be a loss under other circumstances. Test what with golems, exactly? Link to comment
Izzzzy Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 The battlemage is smoking that golem. The Necro can do just as much damage to the Battlemage with the army. A flashfire would have made the difference in this fight. From what I've seen and heard about this thread. Looks like they both had had enough and just went for it. I'm sure the battlemage was shocked when the illithid was able to do that in combat. I don't think other necros can do that while they're fighting. I know I tried to do it with Puerilaug when fighting the beast ranger in Warmaster and could not do it. But if you notice that low dex is destorying the illithid, thats why its able to do all those fun things. Link to comment
