[QUOTE="Gargazon, post: 4128017, member: 61161"] You must have a different monsters file, because most of the level 10-ish creatures I have in the .pdf taken from this website are dealing physical damage. I think whether or not energy attacks will be seen is purely up to the nature of the actual encounter, and nothing to do with what level you're at. I imagine at 30th level an Earth Titan is smashing your party with its fists, not using fireballs and lightning strikes (though I can see some thuder attacks being caused by stomping). In such a difficult encounter Resistance would be pretty much useless, but you could use Mirror Image to stop the Earth Titan smashing you with its fist. Mirror Image is a situational power, just like Resistance. Taking one is helping you get out of a tight spot where you would benefit from the said power. No clever wizard is going to use Mirror Image at the start of the fight, or when he's got the ogre next to him but the Cleric's still up and healing, and the Fighter is rushing over to help. Nor when the party is fighting a troupe of wizards. He's going to use it when the Cleric is lying in a bloody pool and the Fighter is in the Titan's stomach. It's Daily - it's not something you throw away when four kobold minions knock down your door. [/QUOTE]
