Need help with Balor's (Fomora Hero) Gaze Of Death

[JimMorrison]

Oh man that's kind of hilarious, Tifone! 8 )

If only Fomoria had access to Fire magic, natively. In most cases though the Thunder Bow will be best option, and it can be pretty sick in the hands of a Fomorian King, especially with Quickness on him.

And if you're going for pure carnage factor, don't forget the Spirit Helm!

(Bottle of Living Water, and Bag of Winds optional.)

Probably, but I was just opening up a funny possibility - with the easy reachable boots of quickness, that would be 4 bolas per turn (sent very far for the streng and very precisely for the equally easy to reach Eye of Aiming, Aim, Eagle Eyes btw do they stack? I think they do) and 2 gazes of death I think. Something very close to a machinegun ^_^

About fire access, I think it's not a big issue, maybe he already got it in the pretender for a bless, but I think he can even find some fire mage around easily, don't forget he's in EA and bolas are just F1

I thought Formoians only have one eye... so the eye of aiming would !??*& (i.e. you would regret it)

[Tifone]

Ahah it's true, I was just thinking about their air magic, didn't actually think about that ^^ Still Aim and Eagle Eyes should do the work ^^

(Oh Ming, you made me remember about the first time i discovered the eye of aiming, and tried to put TWO on a commander XD )

[Ewierl]

I believe Eagle Eyes and Aim (and Wind Guide) don't stack, sadly!

[JimMorrison]

I would be willing to bet they put in special code to take away his Gaze attack if he lost his only eye, too. They're crafty like that.

Balor's pretty bad-***... just keep him away from Firbolg Snipers w/ Eyes of Aiming and Vision's Foe.
