Strat Enquiry (in General)

I'm contemplating changing the TOE on Anbhas to a SF or IF and junctioning it on the mage.

The reasoning for this:
Since I use GA I need to return as big of a damage as possible to overwhelm opposing ToEs/AC/Prot and the ToE often lowers those lighter blows until my GA is pitiful.

I theorize that the massive incoming blows will be unaffected one way or the other but those mid-range hits will get enough of a backlash to be useful.

I'm leaning towards an Ice Familiar so that the double CoC hit can plow through Enchanters and not be totally thwarted by mage walls.

Anyway... am I crazy or not?
oh the added kill slot and increase in potential GA are also benefits.

All I can say is try it.... maybe if it works well, you can junction on a char and use AG and even DB

I like Familiars better than the ToE in general, but since you're using CoC, your mage might get pretty beaten up by AMF and GA. If you're gonna do that I'd use NSC instead for sure.

But heck, give it a whirl and see what you get.
