If I have time, I'll rush on low difficulty; it's level 15, and I can take him down, but he's not a pushover either; he's improving his logistics. Speed aura... I hadn't thought of that, as within the castle territory, there's a +4 speed bonus, and "death's stride." Yeah, I'm clearing out the entire north by the middle of the second week, and only 5-6 level archmages remain. And if I've already placed everyone there, I need to destroy them, deal maximum damage. After all, a deadshot at 22+ is no joke. No, they do stack. The wand gives -20% to the enemy, and two rings, one at +20% and the other at +10%... I think they stacked somehow when I was equipping and unequipping, checking by clicking the right mouse button on the creatures... I probably just made a mistake... =[ No, it won't work with druids... and do you know why? Because I'm counting on them. Three lightning strikes... they'll severely damage the specters, with no chance of a miss.
