Arcane Bolt
Arcane Bolt?
There should be some kind of way to resist it. It knocks out magic units quite early in the game.

Re: Arcane Bolt
Its one of my favorite spells. But I think thugs, SC's etc are too hard to kill.
Reasonable spells for battle mages encourages chaff units (as screens). I think we need a lot more of that, not less.

Re: Arcane Bolt
I've had bad luck actually hitting much with Arcane Bolt. Even with good base precision + windguide (12 base + windguide = 20 iirc) it misses more often than it hits.

Yep. Air shield helps too. AFAIW a thug with shield of valor is basically immune to any bolt spells. |

Re: Arcane Bolt
Air shield doesn't help, but shields with high parry should make it very ineffectual.

Re: Arcane Bolt
Thanks, QM. I was wondering about that.

Re: Arcane Bolt
Except that AN missiles/bolts should go through shields. But a brief discussion with qm on IRC revealed that it's probably not the case even though it should be.
