Tips & Tricks

  • Think of their Agony spell as somewhat like a single-target torment. Unlike torment, it requires line of effect and high willpower can negate it entirely; apart from that, you can take the sting out of it with negative energy resistance, while a potion of lignification will render you entirely immune.
  • Watch out for the Bolt of Draining, which can pass through undead monsters harmlessly.
