imho both wotb and mass domi have their tactical uses, so it's not like charm can replace wotb. just that it's worth having at least some focus in enchantment (or a dreadmaster w/ gsf) for that matter. |
I do believe that siturations like the bridge are why he used the word "most." A combination of malison and wail of the banshee liberally applied can take care of most battles in heart of fury, but certainly not all. That's why I also use lots of symbol, hopelessnes, hold monster, chromatic orb, domination, tremor, holy word, greater command and other similar spells with spell focus, enchantment on my priests (who have most of those spells) and spell penetration (my priests use no direct damage spells, so spell penetration won't harm my party). But for every chapter, there are only a couple of battles where WoB and Malison won't finish nearly everyone.
