I was going to say you were wrong because you were trippable, but then I forgot you get a cool horse.

I am assuming that the current players just suck, or I am missing something in the theory of...

Complete spell immunity + cast <insert spell> bash? Since you can cast self only spells with MR. How do you die.


Crit cleave, final strike, taunt, Circle stabs, and drumroll....magma spray.

Since, AoN must be activated and then triggered on the very next attack on you or someone attacking you, it is nigh impossible to dismagic all of the front liners even in 5-6 rounds. If the other group can't kill a griffarb before then, they deserve to die

Given that AoN has a 1 - 1.5 round lag associated with it, and a laughably low cost, combined with the completely broken trigger condition that it will not hit an unbuffed target (e.g., any previously dispelled foe), it is fully conceivable for a second-row barbarian to hit all three front-line opponents in 4 rounds by spamming one command.

I wouldn't call it a laughably low cost, particularly for a barbarian who gains almost no mana naturally and has no other reason to train mana.

Big D, my test griffarb lost 8% ME per cast at master level. That's six applications of negation with room left easily for berserk / fury (35%). For reference, he regenerates 4% ME on the tick while flying, and ~16% while sleeping in the wilderness.
