Does anyone really use Makhleb's greater destruction?
However, there's that one ability (Greater Destruction) that I just cant seem to find a use for. I've tried it a few times, and it seems just as often as it hits something, it also misses. Not to mention that there's always a chance that it will fire an elemental blast of a type that your target is immune, or at least resistant to.
That's fine and all, but that ability comes with a hefty (enough) piety cost. It can take several invocations of GD to take out a dangerous foe, and in doing so you will have sapped a good chunk of your hard-earned piety. _OR_ ... you could have just summoned a greater demon to dispose of your target (and probably many many others) and saved yourself the turns, random chances, and piety.
Does anyone else kind of feel that GD is useless as it is, or am I just grousing over nothing?
If my sentiments are shared, what would people think about removing the piety cost all together on it, but increase the mana and food cost to compensate?
