Bester, Magus extraordinaire

Rog posted in

Okay he's not really extraordinary yet, he's only Rank 5, but here's Bester my Magus. He's an alt for now, but possibly a contender versus my Squig Herder.

I hadn't planned on detailing this character for you until I've played him further, but a friend requested some caster video clips so a quick Fraps of Bester seemed the easiest way to provide that.

Here is Bester just floating about on his disc so you can see the dark and scarred environment of the Chaos starting areas. He never leaves the damned disc and at higher levels his AoE attacks will come from it:

And here's a bit of basic Magus combat with Bester. His attacks are, as you can see, rather colourful (although personally I'd prefer some classic fireballs ala the Bright Wizards):

Yes I named him in homage to Alfred Bester (the writer, although the Babylon 5 character was pretty cool too).

Man, Bester is awesome, but such a dick though. A very powerful dick. In B5, that is. Secretly, I kind of love him though and I always squee a little inside when I see his name in the opening credits.

Jhez, you should totally play Warhammer, it'd be up your alley. =)

Just don't play an elf. Actually I'd think a Zealot would really suit you, they're all like, evilish and carry a skull around, waving it in people's faces. Here's Brahm my Zealot, taunting you with his skull just because he can:

Okay, that is pretty sweet. Taunting's fun!

I'm hesitant to start playing anything right now though, with all my schoolwork. It's bad enough that Ben has sucked me into Lego Batman, but it's definitely something to think about for when things aren't quite so crazy. =)

Ben and I are going to be having a Halloween party on Nov.1st and you guys should totally come because I have the most awesomest costume and it will be fun and there will be prizes and board games and stuff.

We're hitting Videogames Live on the 29th, I'm not sure what we're doing for Nov 1st other than Michelle will be working that day. So far we haven't planned any costumes but I can always just throw on a funny hat or something, we'll keep you posted. =)
