questions about fire magic
Three questions:
1. Does fire-resistance affect incinerate?
2. Has anyone ever used Hydrophobia to any good effect?
3. I have a hero who has 150% fire resistance, does the extra 50% make any difference?
thanks

Re: questions about fire magic
1. yes
3. I don't think so. But it enables you to equip him with something that lowers FR by 50% and still be at 100% resistance.

2. Hydrophobia is AoE Rage so it can be used for the same purposes but more effectively. I never used it but I'm sure that against low or medium MR units it can be very effective.

If you're worried about fire resistance super combatants I would recommend you look into the Blindness spell. It's quite nice in that it's 100% accurate, and destroys most thugs and SCs.

Re: questions about fire magic
also do u have any other spheres on your fire mages? Both blood and earth combine with fire for some effects that avoid fire res

Re: questions about fire magic
Yeah, I was curious about magma bolts(?), the evo-spell that is earth/fire: does this spell count as fire-damage as well? Its not armor-piercing so I'm not sure.

Re: questions about fire magic
Haven't tested it out yet, but am pretty sure the spell description in the manual states it isn't fire?? I hope it is, gives my Anointed's a back-up if they run into fire res. There is a higher level magma spell too, forget the name and effect atm.

Re: questions about fire magic
blindness is just an MR check; fire resist does not help
Magma (fire w/ earth) is straight-forward physical damage
Astral fires (fire w/ astral) is armor negating but magic resist protects
Hellfire (w/ blood) is armor-piercing physical damage
Rage/hydrophobia have no fire resist but an MR check and are pretty sucky IMO
Bonds/prison of fire won't damage anything w/ fire resist, but will hold them back until they break them, I believe.
