[Goat]

Not putting rotflares in the hands of an animate :-/ I can't even trust myself giving a 5x flarer to one. But I liked this mstrike just now. Rotflares death crit on one of them, and the one that initially survived died from the disease round 2 seconds later.

Now let's try the runestaff. With rapidfire for extra lulz.

Let's start with the obvious choice.
[Ruined Temple, Third Floor]
Open sky looms overhead with mere fringes of the ceiling still intact. Fallen mortar and blocks of stone have left deep impressions in the floor, some have created holes that peer down into the level below. You also see a triton combatant.

But really, You can kill one almost that fast with rapidfire 702 even without rotflares. Let's try bloodburst.
[Ruined Temple, Third Floor]
A slender marble arm sticks out from a pile of rock and dust in the middle of the chamber. Stoic faces gaze up at the sky from the floor, the magnificent statues that they once belonged to are now merely random debris scattered around. You also see a siren and a crumbling arch.

Not bad. How about a spell that usually does no damage at all? This can actually be kind of useful against big invasion critters, since 703 has a TD pushdown.
[Ruined Temple, Third Floor]
Pooled in various depressions along the hallway are puddles of murky water that have accumulated from rainfall. Smashed religious relics lie in ruin among the chunks of stone and mortar, barely recognizable in their decimated forms. You also see a triton combatant.

Necro > demon

[caelric]

That's a very impressive weapon AS for a sorc. My weapon swing sorc only runs 559 AS with his 8x greatsword of doom, and that's a half-krol, fully 1x in THW and CM, and quite a bit of enhancives, as well as 509, 307, 606, 1606, 211 and 215. And 425, of course, w/75 ranks of MnE.

[Viekn]

That was some badass damage messaging from those spells. Blood boiling in the eye, strips of flesh flayed from the back. Just awesome. Thanks for sharing.

I've got a 1606 EG heart and 1109 scrolls from Duskruin. That's most of the difference. If you're not quite maxed out on AS enhancives, that's probably the rest?

If there's one thing gemstone does well it's write gory crit tables.

[Luftstreitkräfte]

so proud. I feel like a dwarven blacksmith with a tear in me eye.

1109 is probably it. I do have a 2x/daily 1606 item. With theensorcell falre, itr goes up to 589, though, and with 180 ranks in necro lore, the ensorcell flare lasts 3 swings/casts.

Bottom line, if you have a rotflare or ensorcelled runestaff or weapon, and you are a sorc, necro >>>>>> demon lore. If not, necro lore is still >> demon lore.
