In Reply to: Kealiran, entwining an archon is worthy of god-like elven intelligence... (n/t) posted by Uli on August 15, 2000 at 11:27:08:
He was thirsting, fighting Zepherille, and typed entwine. Zepherille fled, he thirsted into the archon, and entwined it. I've done it more than once, and I doubt it reflects any profound retardation.
As an aside... what the fuck? Ragers STILL don't know how to fight conjurers? After explaining the tactics to my crew like six months ago, conjurers simply stopped trying to do what Rendak did in this log, and I nearly died more than once as Peroleth to Ragers because I'd given them anti-conjurer tips as Dhaevor (*mutter*).
From the logs I've seen of Rendak recently, he's just gotten ridiculously complacent... perhaps understandable given that everyone allows him to get away with it.
A few things.
1) IF YOU ARE DEFENDING AGAINST A CONJURER, KILL THEIR ELEMENTAL FIRST. Sheesh.
2) You don't need to drive the archon. Attacking it is enough (yes, I know you risk getting scourged more, but the advantage is that other people can bail you out if you get hurt too badly to keep tanking it, without interruption).
3) Offhand disarm is your friend.
