Just a quick note about "being surrounded by pan lords". What in the heck are you doing fighting out in the open? For panlords it's vital to stick yourself in the corner, put on your -tele ring and sit there a kill them as they come in. only 3 can get near you at a time.

Ok...so I gave .26 a try. I'm a mega zig player. I usually collect all the runes then start doing zigs till I eventually die. I can usually get over 100 zigs...after that it gets kinda boring. BUT...now in .26 they took out A LOT of what makes the game fun for me. One of my favorite things to do was...

So, I'm a zig fighter mainly. I've been very successful having reached 150 to 200 zig levels fairly regularly. But...now I want to play .26 without the crystal ball, and the other major changes...how is it possible to be a zig fighter in this .26?

Just to put a final note on this thread. I finally was killed on floor 15 of my 55th ziggurat by the panlords. I killed over 10,000 panlords before they got me. It was a strange floor. I took a pie in the face and got silenced about 3 turns in. Then I got petrified during that silence. While stoned ...

In regards to the Torment/Damnation issue: Both of these sources of damage aren't really an issue if handled correctly. First of all, I play in licheform so there is no tormenting that I have to be careful of. Of course, if I forget to keep a watchful eye on the duration of my lichform, I could lose...

Thanks to all the responses for this Harm issue. I've never been much of a "numbers" player, and have mostly learned by trial and error over the years, and how certain things "feel" in game. The one thing I can say for sure, is that before I put on the Harm amulet it seemed it wa...

Hi Duvessa, I read your post: "I'm not sure whether this is a misinterpretation of what harm does or a misinterpretation of what spell power does (in which case you're also ignoring the effect of AC, I guess), but either way, I love it." I'm always finding out that I need to learn more abo...

In response to the Harm amulet: Oh...this item is an absolute necessity for a zig fighter. This amulet can raise your spell power from 200 to 260! That is a HUGE jump in max spell power. Without it, you'd be capped at 200 spell power and this is seriously lacking when it comes to some of the higher ...

I wanted to post an update to this thread. I'm heading into my 35th zig now. and I've learned a lot more since I've posted last regarding the Ghost Moths. The first thing I've learned is that evoking Invis by using a mutation causes much more CONTAM than evoking Invis from a piece of equipment. Thus...

I'm on zig 20 now. Although the ghost moth floor is always a bit tricky, it seems that the best course of action is to 1. ignition the initial turn (the room is completely full when you come down the stairs) 2. Stand and pick off the ghost moths as they come for as long as possible using spells, but...

Thanks for the Naga advice. I'm currently in my 14th zig, so I'll be testing out your advice soon!!! ugh! Seriously though..I used to wait in anxiety for the panlords, now I dread the Ghost moth floors!!! crazy!

Hi guys, Ok. So I'll post two char.dumps. The first one is my most recent Hill Orc character. It can give you an idea of what a zig fighter looks like once he's fully developed. http://crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/malcoda/morgue-malcoda-20190719-032046.txt Now I'll give you the dump of the character I...

Hi guys, so I decided to try out a new species in the zigs: Naga! I usually play Hill Orc, but I thought the extra bit of health and sInv would be helpful. Unfortunately, I've run into a problem. By the time I dive into my 10th zig (or so) the Ghost Moth floors are now so big that I can NOT simply j...
