Kyshakk Koan RaustBlackDragon Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 So, I've been playing the game through for the first time, on torment difficulty, and I have to say, I probably would have been driven mad from confusion if I hadn't decided to visit the tower of magi. You have to deal with a lot of undead, and every single AOE spell you have is useless against the undead until you get to the tower of magi and get the lightning spray spell. That one spell makes dealing with the undead so much easier. Although I have to ask: Why is it that call storm does cold damage instead of energy? It's doubly weird considering 1: The animation clearly indicates it's an electric attack and 2: It's a priest spell that is useless against the undead. Anyway, Just thought I'd post this in case anybody else was going nuts at being unable to handle the undead and not yet strong enough to go elsewhere. It is ENTIRELY manageable to reach the tower of magi at any level, and the magic they provide is extremely useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Yes, the Tower makes a huge difference. You'll be spending most of your gold there for the next little while. Be sure to go upstairs and learn how to use the portals while you're at it. I too miss Repel Spirit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma Dark.Fenix Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 well they changed smite dmg from cold to magic/energy so i guess they had to give priests cold dmg somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 game has 4 fire spells and only 1/2 ice spell (not that ice is needed much since its best usage is against Giants/Ogres if no Lightning Spray or can't hit those all with LS). Before we blasted sinmgle Demons etc with Repel Spirit now we pummel those with LS and Smite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish Kestral Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Hey, about that portals thing... can someone explain how to learn how to use them in exquisite detail? Cause I'm lvl31, have gotten rid of the Hakki Lord upstairs, and am well on my way to finishing the game, but never found anything like that in the Tower of Magi. Edit: I've even tried looking this up elsewhere, but I just find places that say "Go to the Tower, that's where you learn it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 In the northwest part of the main level is stairs up to the portal. Talk to the guy near it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
