I need your opinions to make a decision about Mislead spell. Vote and also give your reasons and arguments.

As always, your votes and arguments will be my main criteria to make the final decision; though, I don\'t guarantee that the final decision will necessarily match with the option which will have the majority of votes in the poll.

Please note that if you view the poll's result before voting, you won't be able to vote afterwards.

I dun think it'll make much difference to replace the spell becasue:

1. there r other ways for the bosses/minor-bosses to overcome the cheesy staff: grant them the ability to see through invisibility, just as what the tactic mod has already done long ago (yes, even a fighter-type could do it. to comprehend this, just imagine a very good "combat sense"). as for those supporting characters, well, if a player has to cheat even on them, s/he probably should just as well replace IA with ease-of-use.

2. the "staff of magi+cloak of non-detection" combo could do similar trick. (well to tell the truth, I only played the IA3 abt a yr ago. So if this combo is not what it used to be any more, pls ignore this. As I'll hv mor time quite soon, I'll try out the lastest IA asap.)

Cloak of non-detection is removed from the game since IA v4. Staff of the magi is nerfed in v5 and will be nerfed even further in the next release of the mod. Not to mention that the Twisted Rune battle is so hard that it can't be done till almost the end of SOA. As Raven once mentioned, we won't be surprised if some players never manage to win that battle even if they postpone it to the end of the game.
