Re: AN damage
It might be easier to get them to fail an MR roll than to fail a protection roll against a mere 6AP. Even with +4 attack from F8 you're not going to get many unshielded hits, and that means you're probably up against 25-30 prot including the shield.
More importantly, F9's bonus damage is fire, SCs are likely to have resists. If they've fought you before they've probably paused a battle replay to check your bless effects at some point, which means any SCs they field after that point will probably be packing 75% or better fire resist.
Don't forget that when that 2AN damage lands:
1) The actual damage dealt is modified by 2d6OE for both sides. So you might do 0, but you also might do 10+ if you get a lucky roll.
2) If you have D9, then you have D8, so the damage comes with extra affliction chance. A lot of extra affliction chance, like triple. For best results combine with curse. :twisted:
3) As with F9, multiple attacks all receive the effect, increasing your chance to damage and afflict.
Some of the most heavily armored units have low MR (Ulm for example) and you can also lower their MR by fighting in +2 or greater magic scale.
