Help with Balor

On the elemental plane of fire

when I fight balor with my character that has scather, his turn will not end. the figures are still moving as if in combat, but I cant issue any commands or space bar to the next person.

It only happens when I have scather equipped

 

Don't use Scather on the Fire plane. The problem is that when you hit the balor you take fire damage and Scather gives you an attack of opportunity when an enemy hits you. This causes a problem.

Use the Frost Brand greatsword instead.

 

Any weapon with Holy or Ice is good...but frostbrand is much more cool, yes, and protects from fire (i don't remember if it can be enchanted to have holy too)

 

its called the infinite loop of AoO

 

Cold magic weapons work wonders against the Balor...craft'em +3 with cold.

 

Thank god for Paladins... he was the only one in my whole party not to run away!

But hey, does the Balor have an aura of fear that goes off every turn? Even though I repeatedly cast remove fear on them (which is supposed to shield from further fear btw, no?), they all would keep running like quicklings! :rant:

 

Cold spells work, too, and summoned monsters and spiritual weapons help.

 

Read this thread -> Any suggestions against the Balor? --SPOILER--
