The game would be better if high elves had a +1 HP apt so you could play an elf that is also a badass.

A bit late, but I completed all 3 tiers. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.19-a0-1468-ge013c26 (tiles) character file. 1427698 Kijeah the Meteorologist (level 27, 177/184 HPs) Began as a Deep Elf Enchanter on Oct 3, 2016.

I would say FeCj is the easiest Fe.

I would get a bit more STR from level ups but you should be fine for the rest of the game.

you generaly want at least STR=ER in the new systems as STR=ER is a breakpoint in the ER penalty formula. Generaly you will want STR to be a few points higher than ER though.

Why does everyone want to remove HE? They are a much better class to play as a glass cannon than DE and you could buff their HP ap and you could get a newbe caster race.

Amulet of harm should be removed.

Any advice on compiling under windows? I have tried all of the compiling methods under install.txt and they all failed. Visual stuidio is telling me it couldn't load the solution when building dependencys and the others seem to be complaining about a lack of DeJaVu fonts.

Mummies are mostly hard do to horrible apts including the EXP apt. They do shine in extended but getting them there is a chore.

We could just remove monster spawning after the level has generated. No more scumming for more exp, no more getting auto travel interrupted by popcorn.

I don't have any problem with sky weapon or the protection brad as it was before as long as you are committing to kill thing with other means than melee like spells and/or throwing. I don't like the protection weapon change is it probably makes it worse for melee dudes that want to use a protection ...

I won my FeCj by going dith. The extra stealth helped with mana issues because fighting things 1v1 was pretty much trivial and Shadow mimicry provided a decent boost to my damage output. If you do this you should be able to clear lair branches with only your starting book and no melee skill, althoug...

A well played deep elf is a glass cannon because deep elves are inherently very squishy, so your choices are glass cannon or glass but not cannon.

(I am not saying that your should get defences on a deep elf.)

Why were you wearing a robe? you were worshiping Chei.

No way vampiric makes up for a garbage base weapon, sorry. Especially when you have an endgame weapon with a good brand. Using the 1 damage is approximately 2 slaying you could think of a +9 vampiric Scythe as an artefact +7 vampiric glaive that you need 26 skill to use. With Oka I think that is a ...

The old Kiku for necronomicon that switch to sif is a bad idea anyway.

Scythes are complete garbage items that exist solely to give monsters a reaching, branded weapon with okay damage that will be useless to the player. Min delay at 26 skill for a weapon with 14 base damage? No. If I were you, I would search for glaives and bardiches with brands or good enchantment i...

I have to disagree. I find Hybrids to be weaker that relativly pure builds, within limates. A mage with armour/fighting and no weapon skill is not a hybrid, it is a mage with defensive skills. I say within limates because getting reoekk missels online by vaults is generaly good, but takes very littl...

Ah, so what would you guys recommend as god choice for fairly new player playing a troll UC? I haven't chosen yet hahah took a break to eat some Ben Jerry's chunky monkey!! I wouldn't mind taking a god choice that didn't up the difficulty too much in other subtle ways, but works well with the troll...

before needlestabing was removed, As was a good stabber background.

"You don't need defenses/consumables if you're playing smart" is my favorite Crawl meme. But it's true about defenses. You can skillrobin Fighting to 27 as Tr and kill everything with Apocalypse. It can be true about tactical consumables as well. An optimaly played MiBe should be able to ...

People say Freeze is better than Flame Tongue because it does more damage, ignores EV and ignores AC. This kind of matters on D:1 when you have like 3 MP. It also used to stun enemies which made it even more hilariously OP. It doesn't anymore, but it's still good. This is Why IE if better than FE. ...

MfBe, because min delay bardiches at the end of lair are fun.

Ghoul of gozag is easy.

that experimental branch is called mummy of gozag FIFY But seriously, Piety decay is a bad clock because it doesn't apply to all characters. If tedious busywork shouldn't be optimal for character with piety decay it shouldn't be optimal for characters without piety decay. Since it isn't functioning...

Normalize? isnt the whole main idea for the them to be different? You have the choice of a stronger, one handed weapon on a species that has shitty aptitudes towards it, or not. Also, there are no, easier to find, demon maces in the game, so to me this whole idea is "make maces be a stupid ide...

If you just want to win a Wz, pick TrWz, join trog, and burn the book. Otherwise there are plenty of posts above this to help you.

Acid, enslavement, paralysis wands are very good all game (other hex wands are okay too but para/enslave are better so if you have enslave/para the other hex wands aren't useful). They're also super good early so you should acquire wand quickly so that if you get one of these you can get even more ...

I often have excess wands of not HW/Hasting anyway, so duplicate wands are kinda of useless, even if they have different elemental damage.

You definatly should have used your enchant scrolls on that exe axe. morgue says you had 10(!) of them. you could always rebrand the axe once you find a brand scroll.

Not anymore!
Code:
Suppress Vine Stalker MP drain under Pakellas They still get the bite and apply antimagic, but don't get to drain any MP in the process.

That literally makes pak unpickable with VS.

Solution to the problem presented by OP: make dug walls revert when the orb is picked up, add an additional warning about it when picking up the orb, and add a warning about it to the in game description of wand of digging. It isn't spoilery if the description of the wand lets you know it will happen.

Do you have Ozo's armour available and how much do you want to rely on it? I would say either storm/shadow or steam depending on the answers to my first question.

You are currently way overtraining stealth. (You are a minotaur in plate, so any stealth >0 is overtraned). I refuse to admite that you can overtain fighting late game on a mimotaur.

You want to do spider 1-3, then shoals 1-3, then spider 4. You also probably want to train Long blades as they crosstrain with short blades because shortblades suck. Stop training polearms they are a waste of exp are you are not using polearms (not that polearms are bad). Throwing is currently OP so...

Code:: ring "Azxal" {rN+ MR++ EV+3, !d}

Not the best ring ever, but pretty darn good.

It could have diminishing returns if you somehow manage to reach the maximum cap of 200 spell power after which point I think it wouldn't have any further benefit. I wouldn't worry about that though because I'm not even sure if it's possible. I have nuked OOF's with 200 spellpower glaciate in a 3 r...

Generally you want to put pints into dex on a MiFi to get better returns on dodging.

AC is easy to calculate. just add the base AC to the enchantment of everything you will wear (what you would get at 0 armour skill), then add (Base AC*armour skill/22) rounded down (what you get of armour skill). The easy way to remember it is that 22 armour skill doubles your base AC and that the f...

Generaly you want to ingor spells except for the very high return/low investment support spells on MiFi. This generaly means repel missiles and spectral weapon. Regen and song of slaying are alright too if you are already going for other charms like repell missiles and spectral weapon. Even great su...

give me your stats totals so I can run some fSims. My instinct says that agra is probably better though.

you can start using it right now, you already have 14 skill points into lajatangs, tho great mace of draining is nice weapon too, you decide which one suits you better Lajatang of speed is a better weapon than a great mace of draining, but other stuff like skill levels and enchantment can affect th...

I like tabstorms idea of the orb if identification. ID actually has significance until about lair:8, which is where it really stops mattering.

If it doesn't override *confuse you should report a bug.

IMO blade hands is probbaly better to kill TRJ with because you aren't slowed so it make GTFOing easier once you have finished TRJ off and the damage is slightly higher.

Can we just remove amulet of harm please? All it does is punish players for wear IDing amulets with draining. It is a super no brainer to not wear the amulet. The only time that it makes sense to wear is if you are swapping it in and out to not take the extra damage and the devs have tried to kill a...

I'm pretty sure that that formula actually makes you regen HP faster when you are below 60 MHP...

It is currently too much of a no brainer to obtain the orb of zot. Therefore I propose that we should add more zot items such as teh cube of zot and the tetrahedron of zot that you can use to win the game. You should only be allowed to obtain one zot item per game, so it will no longer be a no brain...

Personally I would just take trog for the rest of the game. trog wrath is really nasty even if you are not a felid, that amulet is amazing for a trog worshiper, and bros are still good in extended.
