every damn post is someone bitchin about the game,,,,,,does anybody have anything good to say or some tactics,spells ect. to talk about. Co8 busts ass,try to talk about game play for once.
Ever since 3.0.4 and humble_pc came out, ToEE is a very playable game. Have you played 5.0.3 lately? That damn Balor killed everyone 5 times and I quit there. Yes, it's tedious at times but it is also a fun game.
Yeah, I haven't gotten past the Balor since 5.0.0 (which is where I still am). I even went back in saves to bring Thrommel with Fragarach; that was a mistake. If he kills a Noble Salamander his turn will never end....
I thought there was a work around for the never ending turn with Fragarach.....Or was I dreaming that?
It should, normally, work as expected in most all places with its magical enhancements, except for the elemental node of fire and except in a few other places where you take damage from damaging monsters with Fragarach.
Maybe I'll arm Thrommel with something else. He's a badass NPC; I just can't find anywhere safe to craft without leaving the temple & arm him well w/o taking from my PC fighters.
The only tactic so far for the Balor that I got to work was to gang up on him with lots of summoned creatures while you stay back. Magic missiles work, but you'll need a ton, he's got over 300 hit points.
You could try to keep it busy for awhile and aim true-strike enhanced and maximized rays of weakness at him (forgot the name : the str-draining ones). If you get past its SR (you can heighten the spell too so its easier) you can drain it almost completely with some rays. Then just gang it with you fighters. It's spell-like abilities are still a threat though.
