Can you Drain the Life out of him? I don't think that is resistable.

Eyeshield is not great against spiders, as it gives them an affliction "lost some eyes"

Yes, Wyrms and other critters only get the affliction "Lost some eyes", regardless how many eyes they lose. They never turn blind from eyeloss. I think I already reported that as a bug.

First time I've seen it right here...

FWIW drain life is counterable by lifelessness (a golem for instance), but really my question is, does the eye shield really un-counterable aside from avoiding melee? Again, my question is about the eye shield, not about this particular nastiness Foodstamp is fielding.

Lucky - use quickness. Etherealness - magic weapon. Fire shield - fire resistance. Cold aura - cold resistance. Totem shield - use regeneration. High protection - AN. Blood vengeance - high MR. Eye shield - ??? stay the hell away from him ???.

I'm not really complaining, I just thought that there might be a way to counter it that I was unaware of. It seems odd that there's not. (blindness/multiple eyes are available to very few nations)

How would you deal with a Gorgon that has awe, petrification and _two_ eye shields?

llamabeast · #25 July 11th, 2007, 10:28 AM

I would panic.

Eye would also panic.

Aye, me too.

(Sorry for what almost amounts to spamming...)

Someone suggesting a counter for one item when facing an SC can be misleading. We would need to know the unit, complete gear of the SC, your nation, research levels, and available mages to provide you suggestive counters. Start with cursing the SC.
