My level 23 Orc Paladin was doing so good. Had everything he needed to win the game, stats in the 30s, great equipment, 3 immunities, crowned champion. Had just gotten the fire orb and headed to Ice Queen domain, then to Frost Giant Jarl cave. The greater vault was fire creatures.

I decided to stand at a corner and use a 150 mana shot of far slaying diagonally upwards. I miscalculated where it would land, it exactly hit the corner of a wall and bounced right back at me, hitting the corner I was standing on, bouncing back... repeating this dozens of times until I was very, very dead, 350 hps were not enough.

This is a painful lesson to learn. Very embarassing. If only there was a highlighted tile path for targetting spells like there is for missile weapons! I would have seen I was aimed at the corner and not the tile above I thought I was aiming for! I blame graphical mode, not my shitty visual/spatial aim!
