I talked about this a while ago. You have to look at the threat level compare to your average damage per attack then factor in that creature / conjurations remaining health. Once this is done you know on average the number of turns to kill that creature. Then ask yourself if this line of play is worth the time spent.

I remember a time where I did something like that. Enemy brought out Iron Golem. I don't care which mage you are... when somebody brings out Iron Golem it is scary! I calculated that with 3 different creatures and my mage attacking every round it would take an average of 4 rounds to kill him. Yikes! 4 rounds to kill one creature is too long if you ask me. I think I would rather try to kill Earth Elemental to be honest. At least HE doesn't have 5 armor!

I love being a game geek. Where else can you revel in this lingo?

Unless your an earth Wizard. Forcemasters seem to lack the intelligence to get out of Tanglevines ;P

That's because a large portion of the forcemaster's mental faculties are spent on FORCE, so there's not enough left over for common sense.

I am Sailor Vulcan! Champion of justice and reason! And yes, I am already aware my uniform is considered flashy, unprofessional, and borderline sexually provocative for my species by most intelligent lifeforms. I did not choose this outfit. Shut up.

This is true. The Sensemaster was unavailable for duty. She fled the arena entirely and devoted her power to the culinary arts.
