Quote:Highly depens on what you call a 'tank setup'. AFP(SFP), RC, DF + SS? In this setup with zodiac rings your magical to hit is close to maximum. The only drawback are monsters that have double immunity+ a resist or are triple immune. My advice is to avoid them.
That I would call Mini-Mage setup.
The post I was replying to suggested to melee close attackers and take out ranged attackers with magic... in hell levels.
Meleeing with DF is certainly possible, but quite slow. If you exchange the DF with a good melee weapon (high-damage sword of speed/haste or CC), you are lacking 30 Magic TH, which makes using FB a PITA.
Also, the setup you name lacks resistances, unless your zods have nice +resist prefixes, which would be "dream items" IMO.
