Whatever. 18 or 22. I'd take WB every time in a 3 rune game.

Let's discuss: vamp is for suckers

Wyrmbane no question. 12 polearm for min delay of what, 5? Can enchant up to +20 or 22. One handed weapon. What could possibly be better?

Corpse Rot is most likely the most powerful spell early Necromancer can get. You do get the warning if you're casting Corpse Rot under some other corpse not to get engulfed by miasma. If a game-breaking spell does not make you happy when playing a necromancer, I'd suggest play something else. Corps...

No need to invest too heavily in weapon until late game (if ever). I'd def use the vamp trident over chaos brand anything. Also, there is no need to get it to min delay on your weapon as a mummy caster. Every millimeter of skill gain is pure pain.

Nope. Try Sludge Elf Transmuter.

What's wrong with oldmonk? I like oldmonk

Easily my favorite class.

Moot. You can with with any of those axes.

tabstorm wrote:Why would this make you leave chei? Dosen't make sense. GDA is one of the best armors you can wear with chei.

GDA with -tele + Chei, however, is pretty awful. I'd take a mail of fire or magic resistance over this armour, or any dragon armour.

Well done everyone! This was a great challenge, Xen, thank you. Using Xen's convention, * means solo win. I had many good tag-team wins with edgefigaro, who often let me start and then did most of the work getting the win. I entered my name only if I got a new combo to lair, got a rune, or got a win...

Keep Chei, drop that armour. You can win in any armour and -tele will hurt more than gda will help. That is, if your aim is to win.

Good stats mean quite a bit of flexibility such as heavier armour casting earlier

Melee is best because you don't have to pick up ammo or devote extra inv to it, and don't have to worry about running out of magic during a fight.

Elec dagger ftw

No contest then, def new race threads.

What if I don't know what PSA means?

Flawless

I've always agreed that Pan, Hell, and the Abyss are too long Yesterday we saw speedrun expert 4thArra on CXC playing a DEFE of Veh . His milestones in Dis were remarkable: 20691 | Dis:1 | Entered Level 1 of the Iron City of Dis [...] 20842 | Dis:7 | Entered Level 7 of the Iron City of Dis [...] 20...

I find that nets are the best way to deal with cobs.

I believe that this aspect of the gameplay is what inspired Crate crawl.

Interesting. One of my most memorably crawl moments was when I got myself into a really tight spot in Abyss with SH3. <10health. Can't recall the specifics, but spectators pitched in on tactics and I was able to get out alive. I think it was fun for all involved.

MrPlanck: Yes, including that. I've watched a player who contracted berserkitis, and did Zot:5 on a fighter build. It was a very interesting experience, and I'd like to keep that. I see. You know the best way to deal with OOF then will be to minimize turns in line of sight. Which essentially means ...

I just hope that permanent, bad mutations stay. I think they add a lot to the game. Such as, getting berserkitis while fighting an orb of fire and going berserk soon afterward. With the awful to-hit mechanics in place (maybe you will miss or do no damage 10-12 attempts in a row), and an inability t...

Right, but getting spider instead of snake is certainly an advantage. No matter, I'm just grumbling because I rolled snake instead of spider.

My only beef with this one is that snake is a lot harder than spider, esp. for a hex build. Getting snake is a kick in the ol' ass.

edit: and dead in snake pit. No surprise. Snake pit can go to hell.

The comborobin griefer asshole quit two high level characters on CSZO today. I'm sure they realize that they just nullified a combined effort of approximately 12 hours by various people. This is extremely problematic. Although this is a robin account, I'm very seriously considering changing the pas...

In early game I almost alway focus weapon but keep defenses on. Works pretty well for me.

Ouch, that's some serious trolling right out of the gate!

I believe monsters started walking around, rather than attacking, avoidable prisms once they were marked as no-XP ( 0.17-a0-1237-g21d49c6 ). Now they count "firewood", so monsters react to them same as plants, only attacking if there is nowhere else to move (in a hallway, for example). Th...

Killed Jessica on D2. Autopilot!

Good post. My main issues with it are that it is often difficult to affect multiple targets reliably, and there is a chance you could get hit (eg you can't move where you thought you could). And most importantly it is battle magic, which is far more tedious than melee and not necessary for a solid ...

You mean replace Fire Storm with...correct?

I went Chei and had a strong build, solid resists..etc. An easy 15 rune build. However, I forgot about all the bonuses and cleared a bunch of useless areas on autopilot. By the time I put my head back on, I was at 45k turns and at lvl 22?. I could have dove into Z5 much earlier. What to do? I couldn...

I'd never have expected so much damage from prism. 88?! My experience is more in the 8-15 range.

1 - You're not supposed to be fighting in the abyss, especially at low level, so that doesn't really do anything except make players think fighting in the abyss is a good idea. 2 - You can dramatically increase the chances of finding an exit by not fighting, and instead exploring and revealing unse...

Hah typical sudden death death for me. I go in thinking "play safe play smart play safe play smart" and what do I do? Take the first chance I get to sneak up on an ant. Because, think of the glory! Of course the ant woke up and mangled me. I had just gotten to level 5. Good combo. Wish I h...

Monks with UC are pretty awesome. Not sure why people keep wanting to change them. Simplicity is a plus. At this point I can hardly tolerate the tedium required by offensive spellcasting, and enjoy a good solid UC monk game to relax. The ** piety boost is usually very strong, esp. with Chei or Oka. ...

With the information provided, I'd say yes, or no.

Thanks for organizing, Byrel. Sign me up please.

Can anyone tell me, what is the rationale for putting a kraken between the entry point and the altars on the Violet keep sprint? It was a bug: when baby alligators were removed , the MONS: list and the map were adjusted, but not the SHUFFLE, so the kraken took the place of the baby alligator in the...

Can anyone tell me, what is the rationale for putting a kraken between the entry point and the altars on the Violet keep sprint? Used to be croc/alligator, which was appropriately challenging, with the kraken guarding the big loot room past the altars. Kraken seems too hard here, unless I am missing...

The one true king.

I captured a screenshot that sums up my thoughts about ranged combat. -Multiple shots have caused no damage (this is normal for crawl, but ranged combat makes it so much more obvious than normal) -monster has closed to melee distance with 9/10ths of its starting health -High ammo mulch rate (I took...

I see somebody splatted a Messiah, too. The titles might not encourage the best play... I did that. It was my build and I just was too conservative in a tough fight. I didn't use healing when I should have, and I didn't summon my allies because I thought I could manage it. That combo should have wo...

Edit- removed due to unnecessary grouchiness. Not constructive.

Obviously on a robin account some people will play better than others. But I'm having a hard time imagining the thought process of the player who converted my DECj to Trog while in Lair, completely gimping it. http://dobrazupa.org/morgue/comborobin/morgue-comborobin-20150901-111338.txt I'm inclined...

I am okay overall with the change (though it seems childish to do it in retaliation to the "remove hunger" suggestion) Just as an aside, Lasty specifically said when he made the commit that he had been thinking about doing it long before I ever brought up removing hunger. He joked about i...
