Hi again, everyone. I'm starting a melee (no missiles), low-mid magic (Only healing craft), some creations (magic probably) Guardian. I'm playing in torment, and I'm striving to achieve 100% game completion, which includes the Monestary. Does anyone have any advice on playing the "challenge" class of Geneforge 3, e.g. which side is better to join? Thanks in advance for all feedback.

Melee is at times extremely difficult to do without assistance from Daze, or creations. Parry is worthwhile, as it reduces damage greatly. The regeneration enhancement, on a weapon, will be your best friend, draining large numbers of HP per attack. However, if you are making creations that's all out the window. Vlish are so disgustingly overpowered in G3 (if you pump magic shaping, make em early and let em gain levels) that the game becomes a cake walk even on Torment. Artila are also good. And they are cheap enough for Guardian use. Even one or two Vlish companions will be a big help, as you get lots of stunning and slowing action each turn. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Ah, daze. I don't think I can really cast it, as I will drain all of my Spell Energy in 1 or 2 castings. Also, I don't think it is nearly effective for a Guardian as it is for an Agent. Parry seems activate more frequently than the percentage actually should be. (e.g. elite warriors of Inner Keep have 3 % parry, but its more like 5-7% chance of parrying) However, my Guardian with 8 % parry parried more like 2 % of attacks. It might be just the random rolls, however. Vlish, I just hope I can get enough essence to make a few. Guardians aren't known for having a lot of Essence without major INT investment. And thanks again for the reply :) EDIT: Spelling. [ Saturday, December 16, 2006 21:18: Message edited by: Good Canisters ] Posts: 107 | Registered: Monday, December 4 2006 08:00 |

Daze became really effective in GF3 since it now affects all enemies within a certain range. Even if you don't affect all of them it means that some won't attack so you can close to melee without taking as much damage. The daze spell group is the most useful since healing and blessing magic can be done from items. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Yes, I've personally seen daze at its maximum potential. My agent hasted at 15 AP: shoot shoot daze, shoot shoot daze, repeat. However, using a good amount of skill points to get 1 into mental magic, is it worth it? EDIT: Daze is surprisingly effective for my Guardian. At 3 spell strength, (yay for carnelian gloves) it kept 6 creations dazed for 5 rounds, making them easy targets.

Try with an agent they own the majority of time, but just try with fire creations they are an excellent mix of melee and range use glaaks they stun and take an enemie to them selves and deal with them, to an unstable situation they will save your back .
