And what's the benefit of not showing it?

You can get rC, rF and AC in any conceivable slot, you can get spirit shield on amulets and hats, reflection only appears on shields.

(rF++ and rElec, even through !resistance)

haste, downstairs, disc of storms, immolation, disc of storms spam, wands and elemental evokables, teleport and blink spam until reaching a safe place.

Other brands don't make ranged attackers die spontaneously.

Rod of striking may be actually useful only given this set of circumstances:

...you are using M&F anyways
...you are using evocations anyways
...for some reason, a given monster resists all your other weapons' damage,

And even then, it's not spectacular.

Brooch of shielding.

Hopefully, you'll find a HAT of GS at some point.

Reflection is DEVASTATING, for some odd reason people insist it's a junk brand.

Oh, come on. Really? Nobody?

I even switched to Linux as my main OS just to be able to play it (a recent anticheat patch is giving a ton of problems to windows users)

Anybody plays this game?

Its's like World of Tanks meets Lego, except not as cumbersome as WoT.

I'm hooked as fuck.

Squarelos is ugly as fuck, guys.

Exactly my thoughts.

Can I get an extension for this? I used to play on lantea and it´s still down!

EDIT: I just splatted this combo at CBRO, hope it counts.

And what about armor ego which makes the armor penalty hamper spellpower *instead* of making failure chances bigger?

As a quick reminder, your optimized jewelry only contains one worn ring, so equip a second ring before you run off to zot ;) I knew, that was because I was thinking what to wear at that particular moment, identifying shit or something; but dumping and copypasting again just to not look stupid was t...

I'm not worried about optimal play or exploiting Xom, I'm worried about fluidity of the Xom experience and immersion factor.

Really cool. My two cents:

Temporary Deformation -> Transient Malformation

Spontaneous Devolution -> Forced Devolution / Tondani's Devolution. It's not spontaneous, really.

Right now there is one Xom parameter which is accessible to the player through the ^ screen, which is: ⋅ very special plaything ⋅ special plaything ⋅ plaything ⋅ toy ⋅ favourite toy ⋅ beloved toy ⋅ teddy bear If this information, ...

Okay, okay. Phew.

So now, dazzling spray is effectively useless against anything with sInvis? Argh.

My first 15 rune win!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY :D :D :D :D :D Recently I rolled some pretty sweet Makhleb dracs, but they always ended abruptly somewhere in Swamp or around there, and Makhleb really rocks my socks... conjurations, reinforcements, HP restore, what else do you need?

Okay, okay, I back down. Sorry.

It's hard enough to learn and keep track of how to hex what and when for what effect, having people pull the rug from under your feet just when you had it all nailed down plain sucks.

O__o

Dude, it's a holiness thing, Duvessa made it pretty clear. Plants and nonliving monsters are immune to confuse.

...are you dead-set on jumbling around all the application cases for hexes or what? o____oU

Enemy gargoyles can't be confused. Nonliving monsters are immune to confusion (no, seriously), along with plants. So at least the following monsters can be petrified but not confused: ancient zyme, worldbinder, thrashing horror, tentacled starspawn, starcursed mass, war gargoyle, molten gargoyle, l...

more schools worse spell Ah I didn't state that very clearly or elegantly. I had in mind for comparison mephitic cloud, which is three schools and (while very, very good for a level 3 spell) is actually less powerful than dazzling spray in most situations in my experience. Agreed! And anyways: the ...

See invis is often described as having acute vision in terms of descriptive text, so it wouldn't be "unflavorful" for see invisible enemies to be immune to dazzle. Dazzling spray is really strong for a level 3 spell, much less a dual school one. It could take the hit. So, uh, a multiple s...

Bloax wrote:It's possible to make felids not awful by having them not have 40% less hp than normal species and have their claws develop into claws:3 over time, but then people would complain that they aren't fucking terrible.

Yeah, why not just 30% less or something?

Personally, I'd like it if all "see invisible" creatures could also not be stabbed while blinded (Or just couldn't be blinded at all), it makes dazzling spray a little less overpowered. I'd rather prefer that in order to see invisible they have to actually be able to see. What you are pro...

Not sure if this is a bug, but in wizmode but at least in 0.15.0–8, it seems that while you can dazzle monsters with sense invisible (test case: wolf), you cannot get stabs against them while they are dazzled. Against monsters with see invisible (test case: orc high priest), you can dazzle them and...

Dude if you're not trolling and your character isn't supposed to be an all-out warrior, just go with short blades and stealth and stab the crap out of everything 8-)

that sounds like some sweet-ass randart dagger

With Makhleb, tormenting summons are actually much more dangerous for the enemies than for you.

Why do you people even use devices without buttons. I still can't wrap my head around it.

Major Destruction is a very good reason to make Invocations your #1 skill, it can kill a ton of stuff, and the HP cost is usually more than mitigated by the HP-on-kill refund.

With makhleb, and no spellcasting until around the second half of the zig. Makhleb's healing and destruction and evokables took care of everything nicely. I managed to get rid of all my mutations, grab a stack of several cure mutation potions, and optimize my jewelry a lot. Also found a better armou...

And that's why I'm fucking awake at fucking half past fucking seven in the fucking morning, before the fucking sunrise.

Stop! What you are doing to us is wrong! Why do you do this thing?

Zot is, and probably was, still pretty tame in weirdness factor compared to other games by Henzell.

Hai guise. :ugeek: Enchanters are one of my favourite backgrounds, and I just love stabbing in general. I haven't ascended a spellcasting stabber (yet!) but I play them frequently.

I think brendan hickey made a change a while back to attempt to make the Abyss look like whence you were banished. This could be that, working really well.

So, I was doing Vaults 5 with a Hill Orc Fighter of Makhleb, when all of a sudden a Hell Knight managed to banish me through 4 pips of MR. Out of spite I decide to go for the rune, so I start walking around and taking stairs deeper into the abyss. A short while after reaching Abyss:3, I find this: a...
