Strat question: which DD spell? (in General)

I've always used FB, but it seems with my current two-tank character, my FB gets too dispersed between opponent minions and my own once I get into melee.

What do you think, should I switch to MM or CoC, or stick with FB?

I would go with magic missile.
You will have the tank getting the front
and the MM getting the back.
Thats double penetration which is an important key in breaking down the oppositions' defence.

In cb1, I would suggest FB, but seeing as cb1 is dead, buried, and eaten, CoC would prolly be your best way to go...

MM! =D

Oh, another thing: my battles currently don't take too many rounds - normally not more than 6 or so, and they often finish in ranged. Without many melee rounds, I don't know if CoC is really worth it.

Of course, maybe with CoC I could beat other people...

HAHAHA

"That's double penetration which is an important key"

Yup, I laughed at that too, but didn't want to bring attention to it ;)

So is MM actually good these days?

MM is good in that it attacks the rear minion, does good damage, and also attacks from first round.

And if you traded FB for CoC, your battles would likely last longer in the melee part, since you wouldn't be doing as much damage in the ranged rounds.

Personally, I'd go with MM in order to get that Double Penetration people are so enthused about.

Four minions is an ideal set up for CoC, but if you don't last long into melee, you might be better with MM.

It's ok... i know my plan is genius (to say the least)

Well, double penetration certainly sounds fun. I mean, it's the sort of thing you should try at least once, right? And if I don't like it, I can always go back to the usual straightforward... umm... I'd better stop there.

So no votes for FB? MM it is then!

Well, it seems to work well. I can still beat all the same people, there are a couple more I can beat, and I last longer against some that I still can't beat - but I'll get them soon!

:)

Not really....lol


I have CoC on my strat and i thought it worked pretty well (because of the higher damage dealing once melee comes into play), and it would catch up to the equivalent in damage in only a few rounds into melee that MM wouldve done in ranged and melee. But yea, if your not winning against people with mages in the very back, then i would go with MM, yea.

MM is the way to go. I currently roll with a MM mage and a FF...my score is 4x my MPR...I think it is successful.

I'll vote FB. It's strong, spreads (sometimes that is a good thing), and is as powerful as MM at the very least. Want to waste some worthless enchanters? FB is the way to do it.

If you are a single minion, FB is the only way to do it. If you are going more minions, then leave the FB. The FB has no need of you.

Sut, as stated, I have 4 minions, including two tanks. Indeed, The FB has no need of me - MM seems to like me better :)
