1.0.7 Note To Charging Armies

[Arafails]

Nightchill I can tell you from personal experience that marksmen do a lot of elemental damage. In fact I have more problems facing marksmen than warlocks because of the type of damage done (as mentioned elsewhere barbarians have shit elemental defence). Winter Stroke (up to 500 ice), Arcana Strike (up to 250 of each element), Fire Rain (Up to 500 fire), and Lightning Arrow (Up to 650 lightning) are a few spells of note here. Then of course there's Ethereal Arrow which every single marksman seems to have at level 5, so it will do 600 damage to you regardless of armour. That's a lot of health lost for a conjurer. Steel skin helps you with none of this. True, two of those spells are expensive area attacks, but the conjurer's going to be near a group of their allies at some point, right?

That's not to say, of course, that conjurers have no protection against them. There's a large range of self-buffs a conjurer can cast to protect themselves.
