I'm serious.
Start controlling yourself, or I might just have to do something about it.

// in conclusion, don't expect someone to just get one-shot. and don't call them cheap or op if they dodge/block a one shot. if you'd like we can continue the fight from where Gonzo charged his bolt, (or even earlier), or we can just continue as it is now.
// and just as a small note, Gonzo's magic uses a fuel, he can run out if he uses the same type of "magic" without recharging. people saw this when Gonzo fought Tat's mech, he ran out of fire essentia and couldn't use anything fire-related until he had switched his phials (taking one "turn"), Gonzo only carries a single extra phial of the four elemental primal essentias. some "spells" require a few types of essentia, like the big thunder bolt thing, that requires Ignis (fire), lots of Aer (air), some Aqua (water), and some Ordo (order). so empty any of those and Gonzo would either be required to spend time and focus changing his Phials, or he must chose another, weaker spell.
// in conclusion: to beat Gonzo, drag out the fight and force him to use one type of essentia at a time.
// and Gonzo also has a second BIG disadvantage, though i won't reveal that just yet, though you can probably ask him.
// and more on Runic shielding: Gonzo has four bangles and two rings. a single bangle can stop about 4-8 shots of a rapid fire weapon (depending on the weapon), he could probably survive a rocket to the face, but that would take 3 maybe 4 of his bangles. the rings are way weaker, only able to take a single bullet, or stab, or even a decent sized rock could discharge them.
// if people are interested, i could make a complete list of all the "spells" Gonzo can use, but if i am to post this i would like people do not use it to meta-game hard counter Gonzo.
bah.

I'm not going to fight you, you angry little runt.
fine, i didn't want to fight you anyway.
*walks towards his hut*
// just wanted to describe how Gonzo's "magic" isn't as "because magic" as most other magic "systems", it's based on thaumcraft, which is a pretty great mod for MC.
