The Tavern

Considering using silence on a hexomancer i have running, but I'd rather not run into a YAAD because some boss or unique or red name I thought I could silence is actually immune to it...

All demons are immune. You can find all this on the wiki.

Also curse toes.

Everything that casts by "gesturing" instead of speaking words.

Forget the wiki, you can check in game with xv or ?/m

Theres no list of silence immune monsters on the wiki. Theres also no full list of monsters on the wiki. So i thought id spend 15 seconds posting instead of 15 weeks tracking down and reading every wiki monster entry or xving everything. Also if i rely on xv then by the time the silence immune baddy comes into view it may be too late to reskill or bring a diff spell set.

Not trying to be a smartass - just explaining why i didnt do what you said. If theres a better way to use the wiki im open to hearing it.

Reskill? What? It's a level 5 spell. I often learn it for Tomb.

I think it's easier to say what it works with: orcs, lich & ancient lich, you, a good number of uniques (Sigmund, Fannar, Dowan, Boris, Mennas (?) etc), mummies, anubis, draconians, some Giants (however weird this may be). Anyway, even with those with which it works, it actually affects certain abilities without touching others (e.g. Throw should still work under silence, although I couldn't replicate it in the Arena). A Seraph will probably be only partly disabled. No idea about demonspawn.

Also, I sure left out some.

Anyway, if you use the wiki, you can look up the individual pages of casters and the spell slot flags their spells have. Wizard and Priestly flagged spells are vulnerable to silence.
