I hate vortices. For my next class to beat with a Mist elf, I'm playing a farmer. Every one I get past lvl 12 with seems to find a lightning vortex behind a door. One character was about to tackle darkforge at lvl 14 after beating the pyramid(trust me he was ready, had fire resist, ring of ice, DV/pv 48/24 and a mithril longsword of lightning), open door, bam! Vortex. I had exactly 1 move to make. I chose wand of missles for a double bounce. Nope! Had 42 hp went down to -19.
So... Here's my question, does anyone know of any strategies in dealing with those f***ers? Before now I thought I was pretty good at dealing with them, because I never died due to vortex, but it seems I need to step up my game a bit. Any suggestions would be nice, thanks!
