| Well, the original Wizard Slayer's MR is indeed 1% per levels 1-19, after that it is 5% per pair levels, and 1% per unpair. The total MR bonus at lvl 40 is always 84%. This is absolutely enough, provided that with SoA final bonus, machine of Lum the Mad, Sword of Balduran, Shield of the Lost, Ekindu's plate and Amulet of the Seldarine (yes a WS can wear it!), you can go way over 100% permanently. Unfortunately, a solo Wizard Slayer has awful saving throws because of his item restrictions, so pick a Dwarf race at character creation.
I consider the use of WS->thief dubious, since a Berserker->thief will be far better choice early, as well as late in the game. Besides, a dualled F->T is way less powerful than the multiclass one because of the lack of warrior HLAs at higher levels.
F/M/T will have fewer HLAs than the F/T, and a little worse THAC0 and HP score, but spells help immensely indeed, so it is an option to ponder. |
