#373, "archon priorities"


          

Can the priority level of archon sanctuary be raised above armor, and frenzy? I can't count the number of times I've been in a tough fight, and have sanctuary and armor, or frenzy, or protective shield drop at the same time, only to have the archon commune armor, frenzy, protective shield, or fly before it gets around to granting sanc again. Since an archon's job is to keep you alive in a fight, it makes sense that it should commune the thing first that are most likely to keep you alive. Armor and frenzy are not that. A case could be made for protective shield and fly, since bash and trip keep you from fleeing, but armor and frenzy do no thing for prserving the life of a conjurer.

Conjurers with archones are one of the hardest things to kill, I don't see a reason to make it even moreso.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
