Is an Inquisitor with Carsomyr a better anti-mage fighter than a Wizard Slayer.

There are so many magic item limitations to the Wizard Slayer that it seems weak. To my memories from 25 years ago a kitted-out Keldorn with the Gauntlets of Dexterity & the Holy Avenger is so effective he's brutal! Whackity-whack, jump back, Jack!!

Question 2
Are Wizard Slayers as bad as they look to me? Has anyone ever had a good experience with one?

Question 3
Is there a better anti-mage character than an Inquisitor with Carsomyr? If so, what are they? How were they good for you? Any advice?

    Well, I'm no power gamer, so others may have a very different take on this. But I would say Keldorn is pretty awesome. He's sort of a one-click Easy Button for any sort of mage fight.

    I am also sort of put off by SO MANY restrictions on the Wizard Slayer. As I said, others who have really played around with all the nuance of it may have a different take. But I think the Wizard slayer is seriously gimped. While an Inquisitor just rocks. The only thing against Inquisitor is that because of Keldorn, there is no point in playing one for yourself. (I did once a few years back, one of my few runs where I did not recruit Keldorn).

    Anything is better than a Wizard Slayer. The only mod that I have used that does it justice is Skills and Abilities from Morpheus, but it needs EEex. In vanilla they are a very weak kit, and their limitations become more obvious when you get into the higher level mage battles with those nifty spell protections. If you want a character that is good at slaying wizards, Inquisitors or Monks are your best bet.
