The problem w/IGMS in the Pyramid and many other LL areas is monster kickback damage. Can you imagine you, and/or your entire party, getting 125 damage for each missle? This is what really limits IGMS effectiveness ... Kaldair What really limits IGMS effectiveness is that just about everything has some magic resistance or immunity. Try starfire in the hells to see how well magic does there.

Every shifter (that plays manti sufficiently) knows that immunities and resists are the most important thing on gear. The problem w/IGMS in the Pyramid and many other LL areas is monster kickback damage. Can you imagine you, and/or your entire party, getting 125 damage for each missle? This is what really limits IGMS effectiveness ... Kaldair What really limits IGMS effectiveness is that just about everything has some magic resistance or immunity. Try starfire in the hells to see how well magic does there. Yeah, with 30 missles max, every single point of magic resistance is multiplied 30-fold, so 5/- resist soaks 150 damage.... That's why magic resist is so important in Beholders .

Nope, just take the energy buffer.
Also, you have both Greater stoneskin and Premonition, they dont stack, you should drop Greater stoneskin
I would skip Sunburst. Its only useful against undead, and Meteors alrdy deals a plentitude of divine damage.
Even though Greater sanctuary can be cast from scrolls, youll burn through a bunch of them in hells. So might be a good replacement for Sunburst. I often gs after the puller so Im able to grapple dangerous foes like Raks and Ice fiends immediatly.
