Re: Oh Lamia, your beauty resists fire and ice.

Is this a new unique on 0.12? So Arachne for the Spider's Nest, Lamia for Snake, and Illusiw for Shoals.

Does that mean there would be a new unique on Swamp as well? Personally I don't like having those new uniques around, the game was hard enough without them :?

Don't forget Jorgrun. Every major Crawl release has a host of new uniques. Lamia is uniquely tough however, as I already discovered to my peril :(

Jorgrun can very easily deal upward of 90 dmg to you in very few turns (petrify, shatter).

Re: Oh Lamia, your beauty resists fire and ice.

Lamia is one of the only uniques that I am truly terrified of and will never fight again. Giving something OOD and mesmerize is just downright cruel.

Re: Oh Lamia, your beauty resists fire and ice.

Lamia is one of the toughest uniques, up there with Mara and Mennas. Just avoid her. Jorgun can do significant damage, but you can avoid a lot of it (maybe most of it) by simply not standing next to a wall.

If you don't like Lamia, direct your hate-mail to sgrunt -- he created her! :-)

So you think she isn't one of the toughest uniques? She is slow, but her orbs of destruction are pretty fast. And it's hard to run away when you are mesmerized.

First time I met jorgrun he showed up with agnes, then nikola came up behind them a turn later and chain lightning'd them both to death :)

And where is KoboldLord and his "zero thanks" policy? We need that policy to balance out MyOtheHedgeFox and pratamawirya.
