If you think Slicken is OP now, wait until your level one spells become per encounter instead of per rest.

I finished the game without ever trying slicken and was on complete information blackout for most of my time playing it, so I didn't discover until too late how OP slicken was

Just use Minoletta's Missiles then. Hell, the last one you get is one of the best spells in the game because it ignores armor.

by the end I mostly used the druid dude because despite a good first impression, I ended up not liking Aloth that much and Druids are really good anyway

i like druids because that call lightning spell is all "sure whatever just drop a hundred thunderbolts that do 20+ damage per strike on every enemy who is anywhere near you for an entire minute"

also stunning

Druids are OP to be honest but not hugely so outside of a couple of spells

I got wiped the first time I encountered feral druids.

Yeah but there's safe zones of the aoe where friendlies won't get hurt.

The GOG patch is apparently only 80 megs. Steam should really figure out this "differential patching" thing, it's not like it's 2005 any more.

I read two of them before realizing they weren't worth my time and I'll never understand how someone was trying so hard to be outraged that they meticulously went through every single one to find the one they got changed

unfortunately I read every backer NPC story I could find because I thought maybe they'd give me some kind of bonus for reading them all, so perhaps it is me who is the idiot

1. get your front line engaging everything

2. move Aloth to the side of the whole formation

3. fan of flames

4. repeat

there, you're set for the first 8 levels. I mean you can do a lot more than that and you'll benefit from it, but that's all you really have to do.

1. front line engage

2. curse of blackened sight on top of your front line

3. don't repeat because that's probably all you have to do its like a 30 second blind

There's another ring of wizardry you can find that gives bonus level 2 and 4 spells. Now I can cast Confusion as much as I want.
