Please feel free to email me if there's something about Diablo I left out
(I'm sure there will be as this faq barely tries to tell everything about such a big, big game) or if you just want to comment on my work. Thank you. If ever I revise this faq and add something you feel came from one of your emails to me, email me again and remind me bout it so I can give you credit. Thanks again.
Patrick (GalahadPC@aol.com) has a few strategies to add:
1) " A use for basic spells - drawing out off-screen monsters. If you suspect a mess of beasts with long-range attacks are waiting in ambush (very likely in the last few levels), lob off a weak spell like Firebolt, one at a time, in a spread in front of you, until you hear the sound of a monster grunt (indicating a hit). The offended monster will usually come running to get you back, but without their pals! Pick them off at your leisure. Also, you don't want to use multi-hit spells like
Fireball or Lightning Bolt, as the whole point is to avoid getting the attention of many monsters at once! Sure, you could wind up killing a bunch of them, but if they happen to be resistant to fire or lightning, you're just going to get swarmed by pissed-off, fully-intact foes. "
2) " Firebolt and Holy Bolt, among a couple others, are spells which increase in damage potential based on character level, not spell level. Level increases for these two spells reduce mana cost and increase the traveling speed of the bolt. For a Sorcerer of high enough level, these are an attractive alternative to missile weapons, as they can prove to be faster, more powerful, and cheap enough to make the casting cost (and costs for mana potions) negligible. At least as long as you are up against few mosters at a time, and they are vulnerable to these spells. "
3) " Once a Sorcerer learns the healing spells and gets them to a moderate level, he'll never need healing potions again. Using these spells and restoring oneself with mana potions is more efficient, as mana potions cost the same as healing ones, and the Sorcerer can cast such spells quickly enough to make them effective in the heat of battle. "
4) " The powerful Flash spell is probably meant with Warriors in mind, as it is designed to hit anything immediately adjacent to the caster.
Since Warriors are at their best when wading into the fray, they are most likely to get themselves surrounded on all sides, and if they happen to be in over their head, a desperate use of Flash may take out a few attackers and open an escape opportunity for them. Too bad they can't cast it very fast though, or this would be a real life saver. "
