[QUOTE="Simulacrum, post: 383765, member: 7749"] Yes it's not in the FAQ, damn I cant remember where I read the statement. But it was from one of the official guys who said that Dispel Magic couldnt be countered. While thinking about it, he could have meant that Dispel Magic cannot be countered AS counterspell. (that is true of course) Anyways Mages duelling each other with countering dispel attempts are no threat anymore ;o) That means that will achieve it's goal. In the second you dont bother about dispelling dispels you are lost anyways. This gives henchmen and followers much more validation and meaning in context with this insane magic crazy game. It's funny when you have 2 spellcaster waiting and readying actions for over half the battle just to make sure nothing gets through their defence....thats much more fun as when spellcasters dominate each battle until the fighters and rouges get bored to death by each encounter...only running for their lives while hasted blinking spellcasters hurl out spells like crazy and destroy whole armies in their path. - Thats why every successful army should employ at least a few mid level casters to support them with counterspells and a cleric who finds out how many enemy spellcasters will arrive with divination. (after that he can counterspell too!) [/QUOTE]
