Air or Earth on my DeWz, Veh, circumstances inside
Posted: Wednesday, 15th January 2014, 20:54
I've done lair & orc, and am on D:16.
I have 5.2 in earth (put a few points in when I got Iron Shot from Vehumet).
0 in air so far.
Veh just offered me fire storm (yay), LCS, and chain lightning.
I'm not sure whether to go over to air or to keep going with earth...
With Air:
- easier time with deflect missiles when I finally find a book with it... (Though with +4 apt in charms, it shouldn't be too hard to get it decent without any air?)
- chain lightning is kind of nice for non-fire aoe damage, especially on more spread out enemies. But probably not necessary?
- will get poisonous cloud out of the danger zone faster if I put some points into air. (Though my poison only has 5 or so points in it, and conjurations only 11 or so; I can get it castable relatively easily without investing in air.)
With Earth:
- more power for iron shot
- can eventually pick up LCS as an iron shot replacement/supplement from Veh if I keep putting points in earth. (Maybe replacing ood with lcs)
Any considerations I'm missing?
After writing that it seems to me I'd be better off with Earth, but I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks!
