I got dibs on sigging it.

[IHateOutside]

I'm curious as to what the scroll did exactly

Be very carefull when using Firestorm.

The spell is more than awesome (and it should considering how difficult it is to be able to learn it then cast it reliably).
But i don't know if it's a bug or a design decision, but the reflection brand of an item is able to reflect the damage back to you (despite it is a smite-targeted spell).

And Firestorm does a lot of damage, a very lot, even with Fire Resistance level 2.

I was toying with a ziggurat in which Firestorm has proved its worth against packs of monsters sticking together (and Vehumet giving back tons of magic as lots of monsters were dying each turns, out of the food problem i could cast it non stop as the killed monsters were enough to bring enough MP to get back to my max MP), until a level that was overpopulated by Deep Dwarves.

Considering there was a big bunch of them packed together, i decided to cast logically Firestorm.

You feel a bit more experienced.
The great blast of fire engulfs the deep dwarf death knight.
The deep dwarf death knight is almost dead.
Vehumet accepts your kill.
You feel a bit more experienced. It reflects your damage back at you!
Ouch! That really hurt!
You die...

and

             Killed by a reflected bolt (56 damage)
             ... in level 13 of a ziggurat on May 7, 2011.

And that despite having 2 level of Fire Resistance.
So be very carefull if it's not a bug that smite-like spells are affected by the Reflection brand.

One of the deep dwarves likely had Pain Mirror up; some of them do that. Nothing to do with shields of reflection.

Yeah, this is what happened. About the only thing you can do in this case is have a lot of HP. By the way, the reflected damage is element-less and based solely on how much damage he took, which was a little over 60 before his damage shaving kicked in.

[Robsoie]

Ah i see, i assumed it was a reflection brand due to the message about "reflect".
I didn't knew that the monsters were able to use Yredelemnul ability.

If it's not element based unlike the original attack, it's even more of a problem for surviving that kind of thing, especially when you're already wounded before casting your massively damaging spell that will then kill your character.

Good that those kind of "pain mirror"-able monsters are rare then.

Do we have a thread for the bay12 tourney teams yet? I really want to get a rune this time and it's just after finals, so it's perfect.

[BishopX]

So I tried to play the online tile version....but I said it wouldn't work in FireFox 4. What browsers have people gotten it to work on?

[Empty]

...

The only online tile version I knew did not have anything to do with a browser whatsoever.

[breadbocks]

I'd join a team, although I'm not very good.

You can play tiles online! Just in time for the new tournament (11 days away)! 

You play it in browser, and some browsers might not agree with it for whatever reason.

It tells you how to fix it kind of. Type about:config into your address bar and change the setting netowork.websocket.override-security-block

[Sensei]

How do I get this to work in FF3? There doesn't seem to be a network.websocket anything and I don't want to upgrade at this very moment.
