Oh you missunderstand me ...
I never said that "gimmicks" (whatever that is suppose to mean) arent present ... that would be ridiculous.

Sure they "are there" ... sure they are prepared for player to use (that is kinda their only reason for existence laugh ) ...
All i say is that claiming that you "havig to find them is the only way to win" is simply not true.



I dont have any arguments for my claim, only my own experience ...
I finished the game countless times ... i have 787,5 hours played ... and so far i finished every single combat that is there, without abusing any absurd nonsence that is prepared there for me to use ... but i use them now, bcs its fun. laugh

Yes, i admit it i often just nuke Githyanki out of the bridge, bcs killing them for 248th time is simply not fun anymore. laugh
But when i decided to try ... i attacked them, with my whole group on the ground, and i managed to kill them ... it wasnt easy, i never claim such thing, but it was totally possible!

Yes, i admit it i often just shoot the webs under spider matriarch ...
But when i decided to try ... i fighted her face to face ... and quite honestly (since she was hovering in Patch 7) she was not even so challenging for my Barbarian/Wizard/Rogue/Cleric group. frown

And Hag? Dont make me laugh ... unless you stealth around Masks, in wich case those two encounters happens at once and that is BRUTAL ...
Her alone is quite easy, i even think that i rarely (maybe even never) had to heal, when i fight her. laugh


I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. frown
Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are! frown
