hey!

this was really useful and my problem is solved. i bound 'ff' to the + key and it works great for ranged tabbing

no more stress on that bad hand, ty

hey all, simple question, i hope, but please explain like i'm 5. i have read and apparently failed to understand the relevant documentation. i have carpal tunnel and can no longer use the 'tab'/autofight function. playing a melee character, this is fine, i can use directional keys to 'bump into' mon...

Intelligence is legit. I would keep doing that. Doesn't take much into charms to get regen, spectral weapon, rMissiles... My only input is that for where you are, that much skill into slings will probably carry you for a ways. Might just train dodging for awhile. Personally, I would use that trident...

impressions of gameplay with ogre of Ru; Sacrificing Nimbleness was a mistake, taking ogres' normal lack of defense and making it just hilariously bad. was better after I found GDA in zot, and Wyrmbane plus shield helped. Acquired an endgame worthy GSC in Lair, found another one (Of Speed!) in a tro...

I know the lettered move keys, thanks. They're not a good option for me.

Sounds like no one else is experiencing this. Well damn. I guess I'll try to dive into custom key mapping and see if I can't fix it myself. >.<

Thanks for the advice, all.

No such luck, sadly. Numlock is off. But yeah, I am moving in a continuous line when I hit a number.

Hi! So I'm without WiFi after a move, and downloaded tiles to play offline. I noticed that I can't move using numeric keys when a monster is in sight. I couldn't find, or didn't understand, the command to change this in init.txt. anyone know what command I need to add to stop getting "A GIANT G...

Cycle your weapons. I can't see the dump - looks like a MiFi instead of a stabber - but that's my advice, and as we speak I've got a SpAs^Dith doing pretty damn well. http://crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/corvin/corvin.txt What I mean is, get a decent ranged option, even with no skill in it. Pull dudes....

Dazzling spray is how I handle mobs with an enchanter. Adjust the beam to hit as many as possible, and then even if it takes 2 casts to get them all blinded, then they're down some hp and killing them is that much faster. Great success rate (for me) vs blink frogs, yaks, green rats. At high power st...

sustain abilities and rmut was because of this guy; https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=13424 Still traumatized. :) But I keep it and the ammy for swaps. Zig 23ish was a random pan lord floor. would actual Pan be harder than that? Is the question even valid given the variable na...

Hey y'all. Went vaults(rune) > depths > crypt > abyss (1st attempt) > tomb(rune) > ziggurat(completed) > abyss(2nd attempt) > vestibule > zot > Abyss (rune!!) ... And now I need to choose whether to go to pan or hells. So what I'd like to know is what folks think is easier/more manageable with this ...

Throw icicle at high power is useful all through the early branches. gets a little underpowered in depths/vaults, but I never felt like I should unlearn it. If you find rElec go for chain lightning. It's a massively effective melee range spell; at high power I two-shotted Sojobo. With your skill in ...

I could have survived. I had my ring of regen on, a huge hp pool, and could spam trogs hand. I had a dozen restore abilities potions in Lair. If I'd had one on me, I maybe wouldn't ever have wound up that badly off. Lesson WELL LEARNED. Subjectively it seemed like I was taking damage every couple do...

Anything noteworthy I oughta do different next time, besides bugging the F out when I only have 8 int and 6 neqoxecs come in view? Don't train Stealth for Og, don't train Fighting to 27, don't train M&F above 22/20/18, don't train Dodging in GDA, train Armour exclusively till 20+ when you get G...

I'm not sure I'd change overall strategy for that triple crossbow. Venom is great up to a point but it loses some utility the further in you get. Also it almost seems like apples and oranges. Do you want to do 1h w/ shield, or 2h? If 2h, (great maces and whatnot) then from personal experience Stormb...

I was having a lot of fun here when I croaked, literally 10 steps away from the abyssal rune. Wandered in the abyss for a few thousand turns, freaking Moses in the desert, can't find the holy land (rune). Leveling some skills nicely, beating up demons and the odd angel. (Holy scourge ftw!) Then I fi...

I love melee ogres. In my very limited experience, the best way I know to keep them alive is to be really, really cautious with the way I engage; even more than usual until I get good dragon armor and a lot of armor skill, I pull mobs one by one into a corridor. But unless you go with a one hand wea...

Branded or randart bardiche is a great weapon, and you could have it up to speed a lot faster than most other weapon types, given mf aptitude. It would take a special weapon for me to NOT do polearms on a mf. Demon trident and shield is also a great choice. Cutlass of elec is solid, and a decent cho...

On the contrary, I think doing vaults is a great idea. Lots of dudes in there with heavy armor and big axes, so you might get decent gear. Also dragons, if you want to go that route for armor. Use Trog's Hand to avoid getting marked by sentinels, but always know where a close chokepoint is in relati...

As for strategy - use autoexplore until you notice a dude, throw something at the dude, draw the dude into a hallway preferably by himself, soften him up with rocks/javelins/tomahawks until he gets to you, pound dude into mush, eat the mush, rinse and repeat. Use heroism and/or finesse if you can't ...

Also, interestingly, in this game Orc:4 didn't generate with any shops or tough orcs. Even worshiping Ash I burned a map scroll to check. Anyone know why that is?

I thought I meant 5, but the last time I made it through crypt was an offline char in .8, so I hadn't noticed they'd shortened the branch. Place was crawling with vampire mages and curse skulls. Tornado rules. Updated character;' corvin the Sorcerer (Deep Elf Ice Elementalist) Turns: 115784, Time: 1...

Sounds fun. I'm going to give it a try.

Anything specific to watch out for in crypt 5?

Scry is, like, at least half the reason I go with Ash. saves my ass time and again. I go into a fight knowing what to cast in what order to kill all the dudes.

Are the elemental staves really that strong? I've never used them.

And yeah I keep forgetting to train out of bows. Thanks for that.

Yeah I am absolutely planning on bringing glaciate online as soon as it makes sense to spend the xp, or if I feel like I need something other than tornado. Maybe for the few moments of post tornado cooldown. Haven't found rCorr yet, so I'm heading for crypt instead. gotta put the rN+++ to use someho...

Thanks for the input! I would totally wear a different amulet if there was one. I have the Amulet of Cekugob, but losing a turn to take it off in order to blink was hectic and almost got me dead. Definitely going to bump fighting and stealth, those are good ideas, especially if I take off the +mr ri...

If you're going to keep doing everything wrong, why not go to Depths before Vaults or Slime? Depths always seem better for a ranged combatant to me than Vaults; more long, narrow hallways.

I'm pretty stoked to get as far as I have. This is a pretty strong character and I'd like to try for as many runes as I think I can manage. Besides rf and rc which I know I need but have sorely lacked this game, what would i need to develop before I tackle extended? I've still got all of zot and sli...

Really basic stuff, but as a pretty crappy player I found the following synergies useful: Conjure flame + inner flame - 1)block the doorway. 2)inner flame the weakest member of the mob. 3)poke inner-flamed dude with something. 4)blow up just about anything standing next to said dude. For chaining re...

Sounds like a great plan.

Add in a couple casts of summon butterflies to help keep the riffraff away for a couple turns. Burn the consumables; they do you no good when you're dead.

Thanks for the advice!

He wound up going splat against a titan in the lower end of Vaults, sadly. But I'll remember that about casting in heavy armor, and try it out next time I play a big melee type.

Dumped the shield and used Ash's retrain ability to buff dodging somewhat. Found a mottled dragon armor in Shoals which dropped my ac by 5 or so, but raised EV by 6 and climbing. Good trade?

I have seen other 'cip' posts about gargoyles here with insane ACs by the end game. I tend to try to hedge my bets; if I can't have EV with my AC, I'd rather shields..

Maybe I should drop shields altogether and train up EV? Not exactly a gargoyl'e's forte, but yeah, Ash boosts can be big. Good idea?

Hi Tavern! So I have a character with potential but no real idea of how to get where I want him to go. Mostly I'm wondering when to start working on spellcasting, and how long Storm Bow will remain a viable superweapon. Because I am slaughtering all of the things. At range. It's pretty amazing. I re...
