Um, I think that is really a perfect storm scenario - Crystal Ball and Keg of Mana are both hulking finds with Mage Plate prepped. Crystal Ball especially. It's more that you got some phenomenal shop item synergy than that mage plate is inherently OP or DI is that easy now. Fireballers I suppose have a nice time in that they don't have to worry about the curse and status debuffs of the guards but the dungeon's still alright. Matron could hit a tad harder.

I discovered Mage Plate while monkeying around Gaan'Telet with the Bloodmage. Essentially the mana you gain is such a large ammount that you can turn into a manamonster instantly at any point, with any class. Since I always milked Mysterea in every Gaan'Telet run for the refreshment fueled end spike, every Gaan'Telet run with mage plate in the pool is pracitcaly guaranteed a "uber caster" moment with no visible effort involed.

Agreed.

@Blovski: While the synergy was OP, they must have fireballed about 2800 damage to beat the matron alone, and then you add 1400 or so for guards, and that's 4200 fireball damage.
We made an expansion and it is awesome. Really, you should check it out, especially if you're looking for some extra challenge.

The new Mage Plate is a pretty great find in a shop. If you have a physical resistance boss, you can just buy it and then convert it once you're done.

It wasn't me who said that the MP is OP. I have won the DI by pure fireballing the marton even before the map was nerfed, so I think the Plate is fine. My point was I was just messing around, not really trying to win, took Flames at lvl1 which is obviously a huge debuf this early. Of course I got lucky with the shops but still, this would probably be never feasible with the old map and I'm not so sure if I like the drop in the difficulty.

I think a pretty simple tweak should sort all this out ^^

I don't think that the existence of an extreme alternative strategy that requires focused preparation and perfect shop spawning is grounds for a nerf or any kind of adjustment, really.
