Probably nothing special, but my first win in a while and wanted to celebrate. High-power Ignition +Vehumet > V:5 entryway, it was a complete joke. Lajatang of Order showed up late, but actually helped me dice a couple of OOF that survived into melee. Also got to use Firestorm a few times, and got c...

The only teleporter in the mid ring I could find sent be back to the entryway 100% of the time. Reading tele got me into the rest of the network; loot included a +5 cloak with rN+, a book of translocations, and a manual of translocations to get me out from under Trog's wrath in a hurry should I deci...

So how do I break into this thing? I'm stuck in the ring inbetween the middle loot chamber with the obsidian statue and permanent chaos tentacle, and the outer chambers. I can reach one teleporter from the ring, that leads into the "entry" vault. There is an exit from the wizlab, and anoth...

V:5 Was a little scary, but not nearly as bad as Zot:2 where a Curse Toe lead to me teleporting right into an OOF at ~60HP. Pretty smooth sailing after that. Sitting on Z:4 debating whether to go for it at this point, or dive into Extended to get Bloodbane, cblink, and maybe Fire Storm online. Dunge...

Took quite a few tries to get this guy off the ground, but finding two enhancers early on was a serious boost in firepower that let me focus on defenses a little more. The resist-stick spear is pretty sweet too, and I've got an eveningstar or two waiting for me to finish up OOD so I can smash stuff ...

I hadn't even considered Spectral Weapon. Yes, that will make this very silly indeed! And cblink is definitely my next priority. Hopefully my next post will be a YAVP

Well. I don't think I'm going to take a melee bruiser into extended again; it really was not that interesting. Just cruising along, grabbing runes, and suddenly random iron shot for 76 damage. I don't want to maintain that kind of vigilance through that kind of boredom >.< Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup v...

I think I'm gonna go for 15 runes this time around. Early acquirement gave me an awesome eveningstar: the +11 eveningstar "Haojix Veamm" {flame, rElec Str+4} And later on I holy-branded another eveningstar up to +9. Zin was great throughout the early-ish game with +3 invo; I'll need to foc...

In the past, I could use abilities without the huge menu popping up into the screen. Same with spells, I think. I've had my init file reset to default and I can't seem to find the option to turn off the full-screen selection menu; nor can I find the option in the options guide page. Anyone help me o...

Power Leap only causes exhaustion, atleast in .17. I'm spamming the hell out of it; it's a great opener vs stuff like Blink frog packs if you get them grouped together.

Picked up stoneskin; I don't think Regen generated this game. Died stupidly in Vaults:5 because I didn't quaff heal wounds when at low HP and a Vault Warden suddenly bezerk'd on his own. /sigh Oh well. It's not often I roll a character with 50~ int and the spellbooks to with it; was a fun run :) Dun...

So. At this point I've reached the sort of feeling of over-poweredness that usually leads me into a Very Stupid Death. Gonna stop and get some sleep before continuing this rather ridiculous run. Monstrous Menagerie +/ Shadow Creatures seems to completely destroy everything, and I just got Tornado to...

Commenters in this thread seem to have implied multiple times that conjurations as main damage is a bad idea for (most) characters, and that Vehumet is, similarly, a bad god for most characters. I guess my question, then would be: When IS Vehumet/Blasting "optimal" ? When does a conjuratio...

Ok, thanks guys

Must've been a bugged version, then. Will give it another try with a more recent release

So I noticed that this spell replaced something in the starting book of hexes for Enchanter, but I'm not sure when it's ever a good idea to use it? Animated weapons seem to be hostile most if not all of the time; does this change with spellpower? I have not tried it again in more recent versions, so...

Nope :/ I don't play trog terribly often, so his MR panic button isn't in my habitual moveset quite yet. I will certainly remember it come the next time I meet a banisher..

Welp, I got eaten by the abyss. Probably should have taken that Lugonu altar the moment I saw it... Was fun while the tabfest lasted.

Highlights of this run so far: +9 Vamp Long sword; Amulet of Vitality (+15 hp, Regen); and the Ring of Shadows (+inv, +rN, sInv, Umbra).

Well, it was going pretty good until I goofed up my V:5 entrance. Should have self-banished, or else teleported a LOT sooner.

Current character is MfAK, with currently a trident of venom and no more than 14 points of Polearms skill.

Oh wow, I guess I did have armor/dodge underskilled a bit. Guess that vs most mobs the general blastyness was enough to limit the damage I took. Those shrikes are on another level entirely, though!

So, another 3-runer, but the first time I've managed to sling around High-level spells as often as I did this playthrough. Also, caustic shrikes are freakin' NASTY without rCorr; I would have died to them without tornado... Snipped vanquished creatures for character limit Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup ve...

Yes; rings/jewelery were rather lackluster compared to the armor slots. I originally have sInv on a hat, but I swapped that out for the +5 MR hat once I had the ring. Sust. Abilities was there mostly because all my other resistances were very solid and I didn't want to deal with statdrain. And yea t...

First 4-rune ascension for me! Okawaru actually gifted some good gear this time around; rCorr and rElec on a shield is pretty sweet IMO. Also got super-lucky on beneficial mutation pots; Clarity + 2xrobust! Iron rod shredded hydras, even got the 27-headed unique in only two blasts. 10/10 would use a...

Here's a character that looks like he's going to be my second victory. Was fairly tabby the whole game, except for the occasional teleport. I mostly managed not to bite off more than I could chew, and got away when I did. Ended up skipping past Wiglaf in Snake, and lost track of Sojobo in Depths. I ...

Well, I think I might concur with you on that point. Unfortunately I died to stupid before I got much further. Probably should have stuck with the lajatang atleast until the bardiche was at 1.0 delay..

The start of the game was basically: Fuck it, Chei time. Then I found an early lajatang, so no more UC. Later I found a Vamp. Bardiche, whose swingspeed is still in the kinda-scary zone. Maybe I should go back to grab the laja in the mean time while polearms train up some more? The bardiche seems to...

This has been an absolute steam-roll so far. I feel like I'm set for a 3-rune game (except maybe some more MR,) and that all I need to do at this point is not mess up. I could probably add a buckler to my equipment, and an EA scroll for that mottled dragon hide would also be nice.. Dungeon Crawl Sto...

I might be wrong about this, but the deal with heavy armor and training dodging is this: There's a 'breakpoint' in dodging skill depending on how "heavy" the armor is; Before that breakpoint you see no or almost no benefit to your evasion, but after the breakpoint your EV will increase nor...

This character was rolling around pretty well, but then I made a few dumb mistakes in a row: Not paying attention to what downstairs I was taking, then not GTFO since I hadn't swapped out my resistances appropriately, And lastly: Alistair's Intoxication; !torment, !immolation, and then Slouch xD.

Ok, good to know.

So I tabbed my way through Orc, bought an elec doublesword, Acquired a rCorr barding midway through swamp, and promptly died by underestimating an icefiend.

Yup. Unfortunately, this guy splatted to the royal jelly's vengance party; what was tripping me up with irradiate was miscasts from other spells, like RoF and less often, bolt of flame. Oh well

This is the first time I've had a character that REALLY used lots of conjuration spells, and it has been a ton of fun so far. I've finally managed to get Fireball, Bolt of Fire, and Ring of Flames in the same place, with firestorm on the horizon. The new Irradiate spell has served excellently for ki...

Nice win, dude. I've never had any luck with summoners, nevermind octopodes!

Currently hunting for Seeinvis because of several ghostmoths in Spider, strategy advice in case none shows up would be greatly appreciated. If you have invisibility, you can try chugging that and using F Cloud to find and kill the moth. But if you don't, I'd go do Shoals, rest of D, maybe even some...

Question: Is this branch available from git? I'd love to try Ru out but CSZO is too laggy for me..
