Re: YAVP, first, DDFi of Makhleb

Did you have any demon blade or double sword in that game? If you did, then not knowing how many EW scrolls and scrolls of brand weapon you had looks like a mistake. When I was playing the game, I let the game remember that, something it does very well. Now I've won the game the information is not ...

Re: Remove accuracy numbers from weapon description

I can say the same about mace: you can deal 0 damage with many hits in a row and sometimes you can kill the adder with first attack of GSC ;) Which leads us to ask the obvious question: which one has the higher overall variance? I don't know, but I strongly suspect it's the GSC because of the very ...

Re: Remove accuracy numbers from weapon description

Oh, I confused AvHitDam with AvDam. Hitting adder with mace at least once is not useful metrics since adder still attacks with the same power as long as it is alive. I think you're missing the point in the specifics (mind you, the mace can one-shot an adder sometimes and the odds of not hitting twi...

Re: YAVP, first, DDFi of Makhleb

You only need a +0 unbranded demon blade to make a +9 branded demon blade, given enough time. Quite a lot of time. I have no idea how many scrolls of enchant weapon I had lying around, but I'm guessing it wasn't 9 - and I don't know that I had a scroll of brand weapon, either. Besides, I'd cleaned ...

Re: Remove accuracy numbers from weapon description

You are correct except AvDam shows that max damage happens very rarely so no damage is wasted usually. I don't think so. AvDam is comparable to an adder's maximum hitpoints; many of the distribution of hits that go to make up that average must be overkill, especially if the adder had lower than max...

Re: YAVP, first, DDFi of Makhleb

Sorry, it was not obvious to me based on your "Not with anything like those properties, especially since I was dependent on the weapon slot for rFire". It sounded like you believed +11 makes it better than demon blades. Maybe my English is too bad idk. What I meant by that is that while a...

Re: Remove accuracy numbers from weapon description

The game displays +3 accuracy displayed for mace, -6 for GC and -7 for GSC but as we can see GC is always the best weapon and even GSC is much better than mace vs Orc Priest. Can we see that? fsim can be misleading when a single hit can result in massive overkill; so to speak, all the misses get av...

Re: YAVP, first, DDFi of Makhleb

Conclusion. +9 demon blade of slicing is always better than +11 electro scimitar I know. I already said I am capable of conducting my own wizmode tests. Hooray, first ascension Congrats! You might have been overvaluing resistances a bit. This is understandable, as you are a Nethack veteran (possibl...

Re: YAVP, first, DDFi of Makhleb

You might have rF+ from ring of fire I might? I imagine I did, since I had one and I explicitly described the possible use of it... You probably underestimate damage from demon blade/double sword, demon blade spends 0.6 turn to attack, Scimitar takes 0.7 with a base damage only one lower. Or perhap...

Not with anything like those properties, especially since I was dependent on the weapon slot for rFire.
