HELP!
I studied your logs, puzzled over what you said.
Conjurers one on one is still impossible?
the archon heals the masters with transform.
what can you do?
every tick you scratch the mage while the elemental or the archon beat the shit out of you.
Just to illustrate, It took 3 ragers to kill an archon, and that took like a minute real time.
> As an aside... what the fuck? Ragers STILL don't know how to fight conjurers?
no, not really, we need alof of numbers to beat one, especillay a prepared one.
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*).
Eh.. what are those "tips"
give some pointers please!!!
(blame myself for not logging my fights)

I tried, the mage spammed spells which I baned and stuff, but eventually got the better of me.
it took forever to kill the elemental, then I fleed after the archon got a few hard hits on me.

True, very true
