Horror Marking

RamsHead · #1 August 5th, 2007, 12:58 AM

It was quite awhile ago so my memory is fuzzy, but I horror marked a Risen Oracle who was high in the Hall of Fame about five times. About half a year to a year later Umor showed up. The pretender didn't make it past the first round of attacks.

If your pretender can cast banefire, he need fear no horrors.
I had a pretender kill a horror with 1 cast of banefire before.

Indeed?

Right up until that dude with the +7 blood vengeance appears and shoves the bane fire right back up your poop shoot.

The only thing I've found to be consistently effective against doom horrors is banish to inferno/cocytos.

well, we will see. My pretender in Alpaca, Gorgon has 33 mr and luck. She has not faced any 7 vengeance horrors yet though.

She also has Mage Bane, and is in dom 10. May be a good fight. She has other items as well, but since that game is still ongoing.....

But if a horror kills her i will let you know.

She might get hit by 4 automatic armor negating hits with 45 str

Hmm maybe i will set her to attack 1st then. 1 hit with mage bane and horror is out like a light!

Sounds viable.

The problem with this is that unless your pretender/SC has flight it will simply advance but not actually attack for it's first action. Whereas the Horror will engage and attack simultaneously. I.e. it is very likely that the Horror will get the first shot(s).
