enchanter or diviner?

Post by Yanlee »

I want to solo a mage. Which would be the bigger challenge: enchanter or diviner?

My first thought is that the enchanter would be harder-- no evocation means no fireball, no melf's, no mordenkanein's.

What does everyone think?

enchanter...
no necromancy spells! Evokation are nice, but

Hasted skellys are as good as m swords or better, cannot be held, and no abu dahzim, thus dragons are a lot tougher.

can't live without my abu dahzim!

A Diviner won't get any familiar and those ertra HPs and skills sure would have been good if soloing.

That's about the only thing Diviners miss out on, besides cheap summons (good summons aren't Conjuration/Summoning) and Planetars. Not bad for 9 extra spells.
