Any wizards out there with redux?

Do you ever feel ripped off if you go on a hunt without getting hit?

I wouldn't say I feel let down or anything of the sort. I am actually amused as how far you can get in this game with such awkward builds while still being successful at hunting and not dying. 10+ years ago, a build such as this without the help of ascension and enhancives, not possible. You'd get to a point where you'd just lack the AS without the help of spell 425 and the extra protection of spell 430 to keep hunting. Sure, some mutant builds I have going require patience and dedication, but having level 72 mage with the redux of a well trained semi (or a poorly trained square), that has achieved nearly 400AS (currently at 399, help with enhancives and ascension) and can safely over hunt (taking on mino warriors and magus that are 4-6 levels over him) without anyone else holding his hand is fun.

Most hunts I don't get hit as long as I'm paying attention.

When I do get hit, having 10 CER crit & damage padded brig, most hits tend to be around 4-8 health loss and a minor. It's when I get rocked by a THW and a 250+ endroll, only take a minor, loose 40 health and a end up with a 2 round stun....being able to stand there without any fear of dying (outside of really shitty luck) during the stun, being able to regain control and keep hunting, well, that's fun doing it as a mage without any helping spells such as 550 or being able to berserk out of it like a warrior.

The krag dwellers that do that SMR roll you over attack, I've been hit by them numerous times and never killed and I don't think I've ever been stunned by it, either. Getting gored by a boar SMR charge in the red forest with my armor has always kept me alive. I've had pures in robes and full leather that takes similar hits from these maneuvers and have easily died from 102 endrolls. 102 endrolls on this redux mage and he laughs, gets up and kicks the shit out of them.

It makes it tough going back to playing a standard pure build in soft leather or robes after having a couple of mutant builds that puts them into scale and chain mail.
