The difference between Humans and Hobs for hybrids is generally whether you actually want to spellcast (which will usually just be for buffs) or not - if yes, then Humans. Otherwise Hobs.

Speed doesn't influence Lightning Strike at all, go look at the Steam formulas guide that was linked a while back.

Even if it does influence it, you want to be getting your Speed from Haste spell instead of natural stats - the only person who will need Speed is the one casting the Resistance Buffs because you absolutely need to get those off before your enemy wrecks you with a Disabling spell.

I must say, the frequency of random encounters in Wiz7 is absurd.

endure. in enduring grow strong.

Hey it's a lot better than jrpgs

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Not entirely random. Most encounters are fixed scripts, after they are triggered once they are gone. Random battles are actually pretty rare.

 

[Darth Roxor]

There's still one every two steps though

Hey it's a lot better than jrpgs doesn't even come close to Bard's Tale

FTFY

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Yeah but when you're trying to grind for XP, suddenly all the monsters are too busy washing their hair to fight.

Those are not random encounters, but the "clearing the map" encounters. Once you're done with that, you can usually go 20-40 squares without encountering anyone.

did you play wiz 6 first and import your party? if yes where are the pics? if no, where are the pics?

 

[Reapa]

btw, i just encountered a crappy will 'o wisp and it's wiping the floor with my party
i just can't hit it with anything, neither spells nor weapons.
any suggestions?

 

[Lady_Error]

Reload

 

[Reapa]

Reload

done. and didn't encounter it again. but is that all one can do? i thought about trying bless and enchanted blade, but had already reloaded.

 

[Lady_Error]

If it's magic attacks, try silencing it or cast magic screen. If it's melee attacks, you just need to level up and git gud.

 

[Reapa]

lvl 13-14 ninja, samurai, valkyre, lord. i just miss the damn thing all the time and when i hit i don't penetrate. it's got -14 natural armor and all resistances at 125%

 

[Lady_Error]

I guess you can try to weaken, irritate, blind and slow it. Or cast Deep Freeze because it goes through the resistances. Or bless and enchant blade for better penetration.

what do i tell the mage i kill in the end why i killed him?
nevermind. it's

Spoiler

cosmic forge

 

[Reapa]

so when importing from wiz 6 to wiz 7 do i want good weapons or good armor?

 

[octavius]

Primarily weapons. There's an insane amount of HP sponges to be faced in Wiz 7.

 

[Reapa]

going from 6 to 7 the game is fucking slow. can i do anything to speed it up? increasing cpu cycles doesn't seem to work or doesn't affect the game.

 

[Lady_Error]

In combat use Enter to speed it up. You can also go to the options to set the speed of text.

yeah, i forgot i had to configure wiz 6 as well in the beginning. like turn off sound. now increasing cpu cycles does work.
at least in combat. resting on the other hand will be hard to abuse.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Turn the music and sound effects off. It sounds horrid anyway.
