AG: Mind Wall and such From: "T. Woods" <twoods@blue.weeg.uiowa.edu> Date: Tue, 31 Oct 1995 00:00:00 +0000 I thought I had posted this but didn't see it so reposting. Morin's been in the guild since I restarted him (6+ turns ago). He frequently has had to face spell-casters, especially now that half-elf mages seem a common occurence in the top battle groups. Here's a breakdown of Morin's ability to resist their Daze's over the last 3 turns. 30 cunning, level 4 Mind Wall 0/5 31 cunning, level 4 MW 10/20 31 cunning, level 5 MW 15/20 The first turn Morin was easily beaten by the Half-Elf Mages, in the next two turns he barely beat all of them. I think Hugh modified the level of Daze of Half-Elf Mages, either that or Morin was VERY unlucky the first turn. As an aside half-elf mages only cast 10 Blasts and 10 Dazes then go into combat. Morin will be in the guild again this next turn, so should get a larger sample size @ 31 cun and 5 MW. The turn after his cunning will go to 32 and will probably be in guild the turn after that as well so should get 2 turns @ 32 cunning and 5 MW. These turns should produce a large enough sample size so we can get a good approximation of how much an increase in cunning and Mind Wall will increase the chance of resisting a Daze. Might be kinda nice to know what you get for your ep and kp. As an aside since I've kept Morin in the guild the last 6+ turns he's gained 2 levels in Mind Wall (3-5). I don't think the chance for Mind Wall to increase is any different then most other skills that can go up on their own. Just seems you don't have as many successful uses of it as other skills. If you have a decent level in Mind Wall (3+) and at a high enough power level that you'll meet Half-Elf Mages in the battle groups/ monster batte fights I'd suggest doing it. If you don't take them out fast they'll cast up to 10 Dazes/battle. That can be alot of chances for Mind Wall to go up, especially if you face multiple half-elf mages. The ep isn't bad (Morin averages 50-57 ep/turn with a challenge fight in guild), and a level in Mind Wall is worth ALOT. Todd Referenced By Up
