You're ignoring the fact that there are edges that make it very easy to dispel servitors. I hope all that mana you put in the angel will make up the fact that you just completely failed to account for mana to anchor it.

You're taking the devil specifically for it to keep a/b/s up on you. With just the devil around you have as much or more damage reduction than the goodie conjurer coming after you even without knowing a/b/s, you just need some source of shield and prot vs. align, neither of which are terribly hard to put up in a heated combat situation, and more than likely you have stoneskin but let's pretend you're too afraid of the potentially nasty debuffs. There are still stoneskin a conjurer can get without the debuff problem.

Also, devils commune on entire groups. I didn't get into fights with other conjurers to know for sure but it's possible they hit the servitors and conjurer. Even if not, a devil communing on an angel can do some obscene damage just between unholy word and hellfire, probably more than the angel is doing to you because you have resist positive on top of all the dam redux listed above. You're also not getting bashed if you have a devil. Something you wouldn't know since you're too hellbent on using a demon.

Oh, also familiars can tank now, but you're too ####ing stupid to remember that's a viable tactic, up to and including hitting the angel so you don't have to tank it depending on the familiar in question. Then you hit the angel-wielding conjurer yourself. Sort of a square-peg-round-hole solution, but it's not likely to fail since the familiar isn't getting lagged. Familiar edges are the first edges every conjurer should take regardless of their familiar, something I learned the hard way.

And dismiss will work eventually, period. Even if it doesn't it's entirely likely you'll get away.

And let's not even talk about sending a gaunt when the goodie conjurer just finished conjuring a huge servitor and is sleeping to bind it. The evil conjurer is way more likely to end this hypothetical matchup before it even begins like this, with no edges, than what you're complaining about.


This isn't even accounting for either lash or the exotic skills both conjurers may or may not have perfected. Batter and swing change the dynamics dramatically if your character is 200+ hours old.
