You lamers just go crawl.berotato.org:8081. I can't believe Arrhy and Sar don't know how to wizmode online!

Qazlal makes a ton of noise, luring lots of enemies to you and making it very easy to.... ...use Disaster Area ability to kill all that stuff at once. Really, it is very strong. My only fault with Qaz was luring all that Tomb:3 at me and pressing a c without necromutation. That amount of mummy curs...

Tssss, don't start "to GDA or not to GDA" dispute.

you're gonna have to explain this one. you can pretend that cure poison exists for the sake of that, if you wish so

Just Meph all that orcs and tabtabtab. This is what I call "Hybrid the ololoev way". Some lair denizens are also viable targets.

CypherZel wrote:get rid of food shops, they are pointless

My point was exactly the same. After ~60 wins I played a DEFE^Sif. It was a speedrun and channeling was heavily used, so I run out of food in Spider:4 and was forced to run to the D to buy some food. I even didn't got the rune, it was a real humiliation.

Going zig even before 3rd rune? Yeah, it's okay since firestorming everything in sight with Veh's MP on kill is okay. You even firestom OOF floor. Don't forget to carry !lignification for a mummy floor. Going vehu no matter what other god\altar you may get earlier\at same time? Sure! Difference bet...

IE, FE, and AE all play super differently though. Freeze is crazy different from flame tongue is crazy different from shock. It would make more sense to merge Cj and FE In my opinion the difference is not in the way you zap, but that IE or VM have a lot of usefull stuff for hybrids while FE or Cj l...

Veh only. Just don't let this pesky critters come close to you, fight only a few enemies at once. 1. Go Veh. 2. Get 2 lair runes. You should have Firestorm ready by that point. 3. Go do 2-3 zigs. Learn necromutation and tornado. 4. Now you can do 15 runes without any effort. EDIT sorry for a little ...

Can you give me an example of a situation where you are taking damage that is going to kill you in a turn or two, but it makes sense to preserve your mana so you can fight? You are a blaster with 30 hp and 15 mp. You have 2 orc priests in your vicinity that will smite you for 9 damage each. During ...

Sar wrote:the second description is pretty much precisely how I play

To be honest, me too. Okay, Ddor+borg = necromut, depending on your choise.

I think cpa can generate with +23? What about aux armours? Please be patient, I'd check source files in 1-2 hours (if answer won't appear before). Okay, I got it: int max_plus = armour_max_enchant(item); item.plus = random2(max_plus + 1); //(1) if (one_chance_in(5)) item.plus += random2(max_plus + ...

Also ddor have limited duration and if you fail to get outta trouble within given timespan, you are dead. No, because if Ddoor runs out and you're not safe, then you cast revification. Your answerlet me make a final decision on how people play with top necro spells. Necromut: I have multiple useful...

You can be brought to low hp within a moment of eye only by torment. Lichform protects you from this. If you are at low hp in extended without torment involved, then you probably play in a wrong way. Hence borg and ddor are almost useless while necromut is incredibly useful. Obviously we are talking...

Crawl encourage people to learn programming languages, don't touch this feature!!!

Would be an improvement. Potential drawback: encourages player to leave some (sleeping) pushover enemies alive, as "teleport anchors". This can also be circumvented, but then it's getting more complicated :( Just tweak the code that determines where to teleport you towards landing on an u...

Why everybody think necromut is bad? I try to get it castable in my runs and benefit from it even if I'm a fighter. Screw that potions, rTorm makes postend less tedious! Because if you can cast neromut than you can cast ddoor except ddoor is way better than anything necromut gives you and you can't...

TRJ summons look like ordinary mobs, but dont give you xp (that doesnt really matter) and HP/MP on kill. It is hard to distinguish them from ordinary monsters and player dont know whether Makh or Veh will support his actions or not and if one should continue the fight or retreat. Also making it an o...

But DD is unique by their own. Why not replace hafling/kobold/human?

Magipi wrote:What exactly is tedious about DDs?

( I guess that might be the case if you pick a silly god like Chei or Xom, but that is not normal.)

You will be surprised to see this: http://crawl.xtahua.com/crawl/morgue/ca ... 015959.txt

When you slimify a summoner, his summons remain hostile towards you. The jelly produced during the process is neutral, but does it mean that summons should remain hostile or at least they should become neutral too?

What do you want from a stupid cow?

I want a Crawl where stupid flying monsters flying over water will dip into it to extinguish Sticky and drown.

decentplayer - have at least 10 oneandwon games (oneandwon = play combo for the first time and win).

Arrhythmia wrote:Blessed Acid.

You know I'll create another thread then.

You should try it with nonelemental damage. That's why I say 'vs elemental damage' which is quite common lategame (where it is wise to wear heavy stuff like gda/cpa). Btw you can stop theorizing and fsim fight v orb guardian (I can fsim it for you in about 1 hr). Okay, I fsimed fight v orb guardian...

So it will be wise to left a rune in Swamp or V5 unpicked and take it during orbrun?

I wiztested fight with Azure jelly in GDA (got 22 AC) and CPA (26 here, EV is the same) (armour & dodge skills were 20).
AvEffDam is 7.6 v 11.2.
I also put on 2 rings of rC and launched test again and got 4.4 v 5.0.
GDA won vs elemental damage.
Your arguments are invalid.

Because unspoiled player can think rF+++ will help, it's a noobtrap!

I don't see a point. With Makh and all that lvl9 spells I just don't bother to turn Necromut off when I face holy zig!

Sar wrote:A character whose offense suffers greatly when they runs out of MP and typically makes lots of noise in combat doesn't need to move a lot?

You may build various theories, but I played with this hat a lot (and used fireball!) and I can say pondering doesn't harm that much.

Some time ago I heard that if you slash hydra with sticky flame on it, it doesn't grow heads. It doesn't work!
Maybe sticky flame should be on me? This will effectively create a flaming weapon!

Hat of pondering is awesome for casters. You don't need to move a lot, and +0.1 move delay is not a noticeable malus while benefits really worth it.

Hmm, I suspected that there is something wrong in the wiki...

According to the wiki:

All nonliving creatures are immune to negative energy, confusion, rot, and asphyxiation

Orb of fire
Holiness Non-living

In my last 0.17 game:

Xom's power touches on your mind for a moment.
The orb of fire looks rather confused.

Is it legal?

HP-powered wands will definitely have "bad interaction" with HP-draining monsters.

When you have an enemy in your vicinity and want to use Ru's Power leap, cursos jumps right onto the enemy. ~80% of the time I don't want to choose the tile where I land and just want to get closer to enemy and deal damage. It will be less tedious if game automatically aims nearest tile where it is ...

Vehumet is bad for spellcasters because Vehumet is bad for everyone. It's not a consistency problem, it's just a shitty god being shit. But Veh is awesome for go Veh ->2 lair branches -> FStorm ready -> go depths -> 2-3 zigs for nmut&wucad -> go Makh strategy, because you become nearly invulner...

duvessa wrote:Allowing the player to choose between portal vaults also introduces a big spoiler advantage

Who the heck cares about spoilers? Every new player become spoiled after 2-3 wins or less. Crawl is a cybersport-like game now.

If you want to cast spells then choose Veh/Ash/Che. But bear in mind that your spellpower will suck without Che if you don't have +Int items since you will definitely invest some points to Str for damage/ev/spell success. And with all of that, your ranged option will be single-target (or 3x3 in case...

Almost cleared orcish mines. You have collected 635 gold pieces. You have spent 628 gold pieces at shops. Is this legal? Do, if this is the "stupid question thread", I wanna learn something about yak behaviour. Now it looks like an anecdote: "Bear was striding through the forest, saw ...

When you come to the orb chamber, you see 27 orbs laying there. 26 of them are Descos.

No. When you bring orb to the surface, you realize that it is Desco. The real orb is somewhere in Tomb:3.

If sacks and boxes become single-use, like scrolls, will the ?summon be removed? We already have shadow creatures spell and rod of shadows! Why clutter inventory and make too much choises, lol?

Please make monsters male again. Fighting women is against my nature!
