Quote:That encounter in the Frozen Rivers with monsters both in front and behind you suggests that you may wish to pay more attention to your positioning in battle as well. Yes, this is all basic strategy. I suspect you will now reaffirm your expertise and promptly dismiss me, but such is my honest opinion.
Indeed, I shall. ;)
An astute observation; but I have to reiterate that it wasn't lack of care that activated the mob-scene, it was Holy Freeze. The Gloams in the screenie came from the exact same placement as the Frozies (ie: in front of me, toward the upper left). Holy Freeze had little to no impact on the Gloams who, free to pursue their avenues, promptly surrounded me before I even a chance to disengage the Frozies. This screenshot was one of a half dozen that I took of the situation as it unfolded.
As for dismissing your opinions, I shan't. In fact, I appreciate the multi-faceted suggestions that have been given to my initial post, thus far. In particular, the usage of specific AI-affecting items on the weapon-switch. However, my distrust of Conversion and Holy Freeze is now somewhat FIRMLY ENTRENCHED, *chuckles*. If you truly feel that it could operate effectively in a similar situation, I only ask that you attempt it, and then write a battle report detailing your findings.
Far be it from me to remain adamant that something is unworkable while someone shows the opposite. So... show me. :)

Never hesitate to put another bullet into the skull of the movie's main villain; it'll save time on the denouement.
