Hunting the Rift

[Oniros]

I posted something similar in the Pinefar folder but I need some help. I just started hunting in the Rift. I need a better strategy for level 1. Hunting with a level 71 dark elf sorcerer. CS around 365 in the sorcerer circle. I am interested to hear how my fellow sorcerer's have been taking care of the Naisircs, Csetairi, and Raving Lunatics. Thanks for the help.

When I was in there I TD cursed everything, then cast 703 on it. From there, it was either 719 or 705. If you STILL cannot hit something, you can take a risk by dispelling first, then cursing, then 703, then 705/719.

If you have the mana, you may want to instantly cast 720 at the creatures as you come across them to stun. From there, you can lower their defenses and finish them off.

Also, make frequent use of the peer verb to keep track of any random voids in the area. If you are rifted, turtle, and run like hell. If you can cast 140, I suggest throwing that up. I considered a rifted hunt a finished one, though I was quite low level at the time.

Hope this helps

My recommendation is 719 on Csets, 705 on Lunatics and r-u-n from Nais.
If you're feeling froggy you can red haze them and 705 them, but they're not really worth the trouble.

Also, don't forget Sacrifice and 701. They'll make a difference in frying and dying.

Have a macro to 703 Naisircs as soon as you see them, then 719 followed by a macro with 705 - search naisirc.

703 Csets if you're scared of their casts, but at your age you should cirtainly guarded 715 (td curse) them. They love to be on the recieving end of719 too. 2 casts should do it.

You should really drop lunatics since they kick your ass when there is more than one critter in the room.
708 their leg and then plink at them with 702. It's easier on your mana and they really don't pose a threat once they're on the floor.

Lastly, next time there is a fixskills or a miracle stat reallocation please contact me.
You shouldn't have such a low CS at 71.
Unless you use a claid.

Hint: Csetairi and Lunatics can be stunned with 706 (And Csetairi are decimated by 719)

A 704 followed by 719 generally obliterates a Naisric.

Just use your 715 TD curse and go from there.
