Immunity to bigby 9?

Unread post by Knightmare »

I've often wondered if the palemaster's immunity to hold, stun and paralyzis renders it immune to bigby 9 (and 7). I've just never gotten around to test it.

Does anyone know?

No. It's impossible to be immune to the bigby spells that way (KD/Daze/Hold...). The only way to be is to possess items with Spell Immunity: X (where "X" is the spell in question).

However, being hit by a Bigby 7 or 9 is a joke for a PM, he wont care.

So would the PM be held by the bigbies or would he still be able to move around while taking damage?

Held. But a caster doesnt much care about being held in place or being hit by that kind of dmg (15-20 dmg x round is a trifle).

Depends whether the caster is bard-based, though. But okay, he will be held even though immune to hold - gotcha.

Just train you fingers to press F1 + number, "where number" is the hotbar slot you chose for your Lesser spell mantle wand.
Remember them all it's just a game.

I used to infuse spikes under the second in Guildwars when we were holding the Hall of heroes...these spells take 6 seconds to cast, it's kinda okay :P. Usually, I put my cup down and calmly press the quickened metamagic slot in the quick-cast menu :lol:

For you it's even easier Eden: "-", and Syren is gone :P
