Halfling Wizard Help...

Postby GG Crono on Mon Aug 29, 2011 3:24 pm

So I'm trying to complete the Halflings Ho quest. It was easy enough with a Sorcerer, but a Wizard? Wizards already don't have it great going into this, and compounding that with a race that has exactly zero synergy with them? Gaaah.

So, anyone who's managed this, any advice?

Mystera is actually an interesting option, if you can get to altar early - get 100 piety with her from exploration mana regen (lemmisi makes it very non-tedious, bludtopowa very effective, but it still works with just fireball), finish map exploration (excess piety can go to other boons, but be careful since there won't be too much left), then nuke everything with mana leak, finish the strongest monsters you can to get more levels, and deal with the boss.

Mana burn immunity, precasted first strike or death protection help to save a potion after mana leak, fire heart can help knock down one high level monster if you focus on it during exploration.

Halfling Wizards do have one very potent strategy for Glowing Guardian, provided you have HALPMEH and at least one enemy that can poison you (but not manaburn you). Attack that enemy, get poisoned, cast HALPMEH, repeat until either you or the enemy will die from the next blow and then go regenerate (or attack a second enemy with poison, if possible). At 2 piety every 2 mana spent, it's one of the most efficient sources of piety in the game. Get to 100 piety, take Enlightenment (devastatingly powerful at low levels) and then start racking up high level kills. You may want to skip Humility, since Wizards in particular suffer from the reduced HALPMEH and fireball effectiveness, and what you really want is to take Absolution at as high a level as possible. Chain as many high level kills as you can, then once you start to lose your momentum, take Absolution and switch to a deity that won't punish potion consumption as soon as you have 50+ piety. The combination of low level Enlightenment and high level Absolution will give you fairly absurd max HP, which will make your health potions incredibly strong, with extra damage and resistances to top it all off.
