YASD! DrCj of Vehumet
I've currently got a lvl 13 Red Draconian conjurer who's branching out into fire magic. I've also started putting some points into fighting and long blades to diversify away from pure spells, which has been serving me nicely. I've got a couple of questions about where I should go with this character:
1) How far should I train which magic skills? Right now I'm Cj 11, FM 8, and Sp 12. I got Lee's Rapid Deconstruction from vehumet, and decided to learn it, with the intent of actually being able to cast it once I find some easier earth spells to train with. Is fire/earth a good pairing of schools with conjurations?
2) How much should I focus on combat skills? It seems like I should be able to get this character at least ok at combat, since I've got the draconian armor increases and no evasion penalty to hamper dodging. Right now I've got Fighting at 10, Long Blades almost to 5, and Dodging at 8. (I stopped training stealth at 3.) Where should I go with these vs. my spell casting skills?
3) Which runes are good to go for first? I've found snakes and shoals so far, both of which I cleared before with a DDNe and lots of summons. Snake seemed easier, so probably that? Plus I have bad cold resistance right now, so the ice mage at the bottom of shoals worries me. What's a good plan for getting runes?
