Force Orb Question

[James McMurray]

Um, I don't think that post means what you think it means. Because while the exact words 'one hit away from death' were not used, it is clear that post actually means that.

Thanks!

Ah, see I just assumed beleaguered referred to the cleric being surrounded by goblins.

then what did you assume the "kill" meant?

Could Force Orb the cleric's shield. Still wouldn't hit the cleric.

My point exactly. Or have you missed that we're now takling about force orbing objects, and that I have repeatedly pointed out that the ground is an unnecessary target in most cases? Honestly, dude. Try to pay attention.

But the answer still might be to Force orb a goblin on a close side, situate a defender in a positive place, and have the cleric shift, healing word, and then retreat to safety, if the goblins aren't minions.

Yes, it might. There is still nobody saying that it's always going to be the best option, so what exactly is your point?

If the cleric is a Strength cleric tho, goblins are Fortitude challenged, but Reflex-enhanced. Thunderwave is -still- the better option, as you've got a good chance of missing the cleric, and a great chance of hitting the goblins.

Hmm, greater than 0% chance of killing a friend vs. exactly 0%. Remind me not to "get your back" in a bar room brawl.

Again, each situation is different, but it is -extremely- rare that Force Orb wasting it's primary is preferable to saving the Force Orb for a better opportunity.

So we agree? Great! Why are you still arguing?

It would appear that I've been a bit of a pissy little bitch the last couple of pages. Sorry about that. I'll be stepping back from this thread now. I think I've said everything I can about the subject anyway.

Happy gaming!
