Poll: Best Mage Spell

Remove all ads!

i don't no if anyone has done this yet but what spells do u tihnk are the best and why?
the ones that have worked best for me are magic missles do to the fact they never miss, stinking cloud because it knocks out everyone, and of course, frozen storm.....

 

Any Invoker spell!

 

you want to use a spell that never misses, use Melf's Acid Arrow, definitly one of my favorite spells. and it can last over 2 rounds depending on the level of your mage. great spell!

 

Know Alignment.

Know Alignment is great in PnP, but i never found a use for it in IWD or BG.

 

I agree. Know alignment is pretty useless on the computer. I only found it useful once or twice in BG and IWD.

Mirror Image. Cast INSTANTLY.

Actually the best are Summoning spells(to me).It's nothing more enjoyable than summon few nasty monsters or shadows and whatch the enemy scream for help or running away in fear.(at last I found summon monster VI,that's fun) " The DarkAngel be with you"

 

I suggest a democratic voting.(this could be inspiring for Taluntian)

 

1st level Magic Missile. Don't bother with the other stuff even an orc can save against chroma orb.
2nd level Acid Arrow or Flame arrow depending on the opponent. Mirror image if you are going to be near the action. Az's scorcher but keep the rest of the party away from the beam.
3rd level Fireball and Lightning bolt suck. In the case of fireball by the time you've finished casting the enemy are down your throat and it goes off harmlessly behind them. Lightning bolts bounce around unpredictably in closed areas and hit you or your party. The only way I can use these is in combination with Minor Globe with the rest of the party out of range.
Go for haste, slow and summoning.

 

I like stone skin. Being immune to attacks is pretty kewl. Plus your character looks neat.

Of course, being blurred, mirror-imaged and stone-skinned is pretty neat too.

Cheers!

 

My mage is invincible when she use a combination of stoneskin plus several summoned elementals which are then hasted. Elementals are the best of all the summoned creatures since they last the second longest, they are the strongest and the other spells are hurt because of the summoning limit. Two hasted fire elementals of mine took out Marketh without losing a single hit point.

 

I agree that summoning is the best way to go.

 

Magic missile, fireball, haste and pure invisibility. Simply the best.

 

Summoning spells sucks, because the mosters are too weak. But animate dead is really cool (especially when you get skel archers with fire arrows )

 

Tell me that Chain lightning isn't the most craptactular spell in the game. Want to smite your own party? Chain Lightning is the way to go....

Cheers!

I really just like the word craptacular.

Two thumbs up for that Logun!

 

fireball. mm-mmm! yep nothing cleans up the place like it(your characters included!)
hehe

 

Chain Lightning is too hyped Logan!

Cast Protection from Lightning by your Cleric or Clerics just before a large scale battle. While all the foul beasts are around you, cast that and watch the fun. Your characters will be totally protected against it. That's what I did while fighting the False Pomab's, casted that on my entire party before heading into that battle.
