Re: YAVP - SEEE 15-runes

No Tomb? You missed out! Tomb is so much fun with an earth elementalist, because you get to LEVEL the place. No inching tediously along heavily-trapped hallways for you! Kill those mummies from the safety of the opposite side of a wall, and then proceed straight to the stairwell, skipping all death...

Re: YAVP - SEEE 15-runes

I just got my first spellcaster win (and my second one overall) as an SEEE of Ashenzari and I can attest that it really is an insanely powerful build. I didn't have the guts to go for any more runes other than the standard 5 (in this case, Swamp, Shoals, Vaults, Slime and Abyss, in that order), thou...

Re: Earth Elementalists

Sludge Elf Earth Elementalists are really powerful, especially if you manage to find a staff of Earth early on (like I did). Petrify and LRD take down pretty much everything that dares to look at you funny, and with some evo spamming, the staff turns into an atomic smasher. As to Shatter, then the b...

Re: YAFAP (bog standard KoBe)

Other fun stuff I just realized while watching someone else play: - there was a minivault with four oklob plants on L:7 that I completely forgot about after having tried to brave it once (and lost a pair of boots and a buckler to corrosion); it should have been trivial with some source of invisibili...

Re: YAFAP (bog standard KoBe)

How'd you get that quick blade all the way to +9? Mine always seem to get stuck at +8,+9. :/ Basically just burned a whole pile of enchant weapon scrolls. Looking at the wiki, there's an 11% chance for a scroll to take you from +8 to +9, so it can take a while, but it's definitely doable. By my mat...

YAFAP (bog standard KoBe)

After countless failed attempts, my third (or fourth?) time in Zot, I finally managed to leave with the Orb (and four runes). In general, it was the smoothest run I've had this far; for instance, I only got two bad mutations in the entire game, one of them from excessive teleporting on the way up. I...

Well, that, and the way you can cripple one of his abilities with a bread ration. Shout out also to my mate Mennas who took three fire storms to the fa...

Re: I think we learned an important lesson today.

If you have managed to get Fire Storm castable for the first time ever, it is a good idea to use it on that pack of yaktaurs and yaks you just ran into, instead of trying to confuse them and pick them off one by one.

Re: YASD - Hydras are jerks

Is it just me, or is Berserker just a killer combination with ANY species. I started out seeing it as good for Minotaurs, Hill Orcs, Trolls, MD, but now it's joined by felids, spriggans, kobolds and halflings. What's next? A Deep Elf berserker? I've seen nht play as DEBe on CDO a few times. Not sur...

Re: YASD - Hydras are jerks

In my current game, I tried to kill a hydra to death with a +elec dagger (I may have even 'zerked it). The jerk grew 19 heads before I realized this wasn't going too well. Then I summoned in a couple of Brothers (playing a KoBe of Trog) but that jerk one-shotted them. I blinked away and took it out ...

Wiglaf in trunk. It's so damn easy to underestimate him - "A fat dwarf? Who reeks of alcohol? I can't see what's so special about him, should be a pushover". And then he goes might+haste on you and then you panic and start running away, forgetting about all the useful stuff you have that y...

The pre-emptive callout thread

Crawl has been excessively kind to me today and I've got a nice DEFE of Ashenzari currently rolling in trunk that, knowing the way I play, will sooner or later meet a particularly stupid death, so I'm pre-emptively posting it here so that I would think twice before doing anything stupid: Dungeon Cra...

Re: Is Zot Defence actually playable?

It's both playable and winnable. I haven't been able to win myself yet, but I've watched someone (Ereshkigal) get really really close on CDO (he actually won, but I wasn't there to watch it as I had to go to bed). The combo he used (TrWr of Jiyva) is really really awesome; I think I got to around XL...

Eh. My luck seems to have left me the moment I got near the Orb.

Re: Am I ready to take the dive?

Teleport control doesn't work in Zot:5, so going down there with teleportitis is pretty dangerous. I wouldn't recommend it, if at all possible I'd want to cure it. If I only had a way do that... Unfortunately, I haven't found any cure mutation potions in the whole dungeon : ( Well, I had one, but I...
