Mage: Difference between revisions

Mages are found only in the hell levels (with [[one quest boss exception|Zhar the Mad (monster)]]) and attack with a variety of magical spells. Mages do not walk, nor possess any melee attacks. They can only teleport and shoot fire or lightning spells at a distance. They use the magic-damage Flash spell at melee range, which does much less damage than their ranged attacks.

Ranged attackers, especially [[Rogue]]s, find Mages very easy, since mages have low hit points, low armor, and do not move to attack. Spell casters have more trouble since they must get closer to Mages to kill them (except when using Fireballs), and melee fighters usually find Mages very annoying, due to their technique of teleporting to safety when menaced at melee range. Taking out Mages without a melee weapon fast enough to stun lock them is vexing; even more annoying than dealing with [[D1 Succubus|Succubi]]. Mages can be herded into corners, but it's difficult since they may teleport further than expected. [[D1_Warrior#Telekilling|Telekilling]] works very well on them, though.

* *[[Zhar the Mad (monster)|Zhar the Mad]] is quest monster Counselor who has the special ability to shoot Fireballs (rather than Firebolts). He's found on level 8 ([[Zhar the Mad|single player quest]] only).
