At least pillar dancing would be less tedious because you could escape to the stairs...

I do Elf after Vaults. It's even worse now than before with elementalists and dancing weapons everywhere.

If you're playing a blaster, don't do V5. Slime is way easier since you have high spellpower bolt spells.

Why didn't Maud drop ?amnesia?

Walk to the stairs and don't fight things that you can walk away from. Tele if things look bad. Win.

Usually the orb run is uneventful.

Edit: Not that it matters much at this point, but why are you using a spear?

Mechanically this is translocations, not transmutations.

This sounds like a translocations spell.

Sif x Trog
Yred x Oka
Xom x Xom

Yes, human psychology is irrational.

Pretty sure dpeg and the other devs aren't dumbasses. Massive community backlash if this happened.

Since when did devs care about community backlash? Remember MD removal?

Shops are yellow. Abandoned shops are gray. It's kinda hard to mistake one for another.

Is "more zealots" on the will-not-do list? If not, please put it there.

If items aren't going to be abstracted, monster names should change according to the weapon they carry. It is extremely tedious in console to figure out what monster is carrying what weapon. At least of orc_w/_glaive has a different name than orc_w/_club, you can tell that there is a dangerous weapo...

Slotless flight (black) really isn't useful.

Have it play Fo and shaft itself repeatedly until it dies

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Worship Veh because mp on kills is awesome.

Normal boots already give 2 AC. 4 AC is 2 extra.

This thread reminds me of the other one about luring somehow not being an intuitive tactic.

Sandman, your boots gave 2 extra AC, not resistances you already had plus -2Slay.

Why does Sigmund get to keep his scythe but Yuif needs to lose his hammers?

Keep running unless you don't have any other source of rF. Even then, probably keep running.

infinitevox wrote:Do you guys really think MiBe is easier than TrBe?

For a newbie, yes. Tr has bad AC, and newbies have bad tactics. These combo very poorly in the S branches.

For an experienced player, that's a different topic.

That could work on IE, since you have summons. Even on FE I use slings a lot if I find them (good damage, save mp for when I really need it), but there I wouldn't stop training conjurations.

Alternatively remove allies.

Combine Donald and Duvessa.

You don't even install putty. You just download it and run the executable.

I still don't understand how players can play console It's ok, I don't understand how people can play tiles. I didn't have a numpad and was too lazy to use the normal numbers (let alone learn vikeys) so I played exclusively with arrow keys and autoexplore for the first few weeks. One person on tile...

If you prefer console (ASCII/Unicode) to tiles, you can ssh into any of the online servers using putty. Passwords are all easily googleable.

Probably the easiest combo for a beginner is MiBe (minotaur berserker). You can leave autoskill on. Otherwise train your weapon skill first, later training fighting (for hp) and armour/dodging.

Have you played any other roguelikes before?

The bad part is reading about damnation exploding.

Zero skill weapons are still quite good.

If your game plan is hiding behind hordes of summons and spending most of your time pressing a-a, then yes, this is a nerf. Most casters aren't summoners. Spending one turn to get ambrosia-speed mp regen is waay better than getting 2-3mp a turn while being wacked by ogres.

I just said that and then sandman said naga...

Hydras are already dangerous without the head chopping. And now you're being forced to use an inferior weapon. And the increase in danger level is insignificant?

Edit: long blades crosstrain with ... short blades.

Ghost Moth is not dangerous because nobody ever forces you to kill it with spells. Caustik shrike/iron giant/juggernaut is not dangerous because nobody ever forces you to kill it with melee. Orb of fire is not dangerous because nobody forces you to kill it. See the pattern? Lair hydras are speed 10...

Rounding is really easy. 9/2=4, 2/3=0, etc. AC is probably an int anyways.

Most ghosts are much stronger than the normal contents of their level. Player stats are usually off the charts compared to monster stats. Thats a straight up lie. Only a ghost with decent gear would have off the chart stats and im sorry but those are very rare until late into the game. I don't know...

Wimpy critters call for "lvl0" spells (untrained weapon).

DD^not_Pak prefers mp-powered over hp-powered as hp is a strategic resource while mp is a tactical one.

FR: remove silver damage. it's spoilery and really rare.

HardboiledGargoyle wrote:wands don't have variable range, that was my point - they're full-LOS

You missed conjurations...

It would be fine for some wands to not have full LOS range. You were asking for hypothetically, what would be ideal ranges for weapons/items. I'm not sure your point makes sense.

consumables don't have variable range AFAIK

Take away ?recharge and Pak and wands are consumables. IMO, non-consumable, non-conjuration ranged sources should not exist.

And then watch as people try to argue that they're good now.

Fragile. People love fragile. Even though permacursed is technically worse.

It could give the Exh status to prevent spamming, and it should never give anything of strategic use to prevent further scumming.

I've always wanted a sort of fragile monster whose only spells are OOD and blink, particularly if they appear among crowds in a rocky place. It's sort of different from the currect conception of orc sorcerers though Orb spiders are fast instead of blinking. Everything else about them fits your desc...
