Tazar vs Malekith - you must be kidding. There is no question here, Tazar is way better. The longer the game the better he gets.
[/qoute]

Remember, that Malekith will get the head start, and make more use of special...And also remember, that Malekith will also often have Armorer, and maybe even offense....If u manage your sec skills wisely of course....

There may be question what class is better in general - beastmaster or warlock. Most high ranked toh players that I know will take beastmaster any day. Beastmaster are normally offered good skills like tactics, logistics, resistance, offense, while warlocks are offered eagle eye, learning, mysticism and first aid

---

As far as I know, most smart players don't just take all skills as fast as possible, and I have no clue why u would even want to chose one of the skills, just coz u have the oppurtunity to get them does not mean u have to get'em. Lesson of the day . Also remember that Warlocks will get a few (, how do I make up so much fun stuff? ) good skills too....and also, as mentioned above, with good management of skills, u will also get armorer, and maybe offense....game winning for a magic hero...Also, logistics is also common for warlocks..

There is little qustion what skill is better - armorer or sorcery. Armorer is way better. I normally never take sorcery unless I have to

---

most hero classes have no use of sorcery....but the Warlocks really have . Agree, never take sorcery....unless u have special in it, or a warlock!Also remember, that armorer skill wont be as useful AGAINST! a warlock as other hero type coz: U're main target against a warlock is not to survive as long as possible, but to kill that goddamn magic hero, so that he will kill as few of youre units as possible with magic, before youre troops will come in to action. Also have in mind, that it is much more common for him to have mass slow, than for u to have mass haste....which make it even longer before u are able to reach him. As far as I can see, Malekith wont be able to use his special in a better way than against Fortress..Remember that it is HIS TACTIC, to survive as long as possible, not yours! (imagine a warlock with armorer special )

In order for Malekith to make use of his special (which is not that great in a first place) he needs to know the appropriate spells and needs to have some mana left to cast them. This means he needs to go back to his town from time to time or look for a well, etc. And what does Tazar need to make use of his special? That's right - absolutely nothing. He can just go rolling, while armorer reduces the damage he takes in each and every attack against him

---

Well thats n00bie! Never ever go back to castle to learn spells or replenish spell points! Also, developing a scholar to teach him spells is very useful. On most randoms, building up mage guild is not neccesarry... When it comes to spell points, remember! MANAGE SP WISELY! DO NOT USE MORE THAN EVER NEEDED! Also, u seem to forget that a warlock have troops too He is not helpless without magic, (well, in main fight he is, which makes it even more important to be tactical enough to avoid an unprepeared fight.

Malekith will be useless vs red orb, recanters, maybe even pendant of negativity. Resistance can screw him for good also. One resisted spell - and the game is over.

---

Red orb, agree, u're malekith is very helpless with this one in play, But this does not mean sure loss. If you play and manage your forces and economy well enough, u will still be able to win. Also note that this orb is NOT VERY COMMON ON RANDOMS (can't remember seen it for a year now...). Recanters, U are not beaten with this one in play!!! U still can cast your lightning! and u have more mass lvl1 spells than the might opponent, and also the highest speed troops, meaning that u will have a tactical advantage! Pendant of negativity: Well, not game winning, your magic hero wont rely only on lightning u know

Malekith has a chance only if the game doesn't last long (so the direct damage spells have some use) and he actually has some high level spells (which is not always easy on a resouce poor map or the guild can just give you crap spells) and he has some mana left and Tazar doesn't have resistance skill or arties and ....

---

As stated before, dont rely on your guild, move around and conquer your ass. Chances finding high lvl spells on a random map is high. And if resource rich, go for mage guild too...U having resistance skill with beastmaster is common, I know, but resistance wont work that often, unless arties. Also remember that It's not only the beastmaster that can go around and get arties (lesson two ) And there are beneficial spells that beastmasters wont be able to take full advantage of too, like ressurection. This may very well be game winning for you (although, u wont be able to make use of special...)
Since u list al these arties and stuff, I'm forced to conclude that U means that TO WIN WITH BEASTMASTER, U NEED SOME OF ABOVE ARTIES, OR ELSE YOURE JUST DEAD PIECE OF MEAT.

There are other factors that might turn the game to your side when using beastmaster, that is not dependant of arties.....but u havent stated them (and I dont know em ) Afterall, I suck with might heroes, and would be glad if anyone have some basic strategys that might help me when using such heroes.....
