CIP DDNe of Makhleb - I have no idea what I'm doing

So, I'm kind of at a loss of what to DO with this character.
-I could train necromancy, but for what? No big blasts in the starting book that need it and no pain weapons.
-I could train fighting/maces/dodging, but with DD's inability to regenerate, putting myself at risk of huge damage in melee seems a great way to wear my resources down to nothing.
-I could swap to heavy armour, but it would be from a cold start, at a time when I'm not getting THAT much exp, and all the effort put into spells would be temporarily worthless, so I don't like this option either.
-I have a HUUUUUUGE number of things I can buy with gold, and basically no gold to buy them with. In particular, I have a ton of books I could buy, and that could completely determine the way this character lives or dies, and I have no idea where to start at all.

Furthermore, I'm on a streak - so I want to 3 rune win this.

Re: CIP DDNe of Makhleb - I have no idea what I'm doing

Fighting/Maces/Dodging looks fine. DD don't take as much damage as others and you have makhleb and vamp draining and the wand to fix it.
Agony and Haste (book of Wizardry) would be my first book purchase.
You forgot to train Invocations, Makhleb's abilities are very useful too.

So overall it looks like getting the ring of protection and training invocations and your basics is what I'd recommend. Get the book of wizardry after that.

Re: CIP DDNe of Makhleb - I have no idea what I'm doing

Can you give me a crash course in using Makhleb's invocations? Never tried them before.

Re: CIP DDNe of Makhleb - I have no idea what I'm doing

The destructions are used when you want somebody not next to you to get hurt (next to you can still work but you run risks of self-harm). The summons are for when you want an ally - but make sure to have some invocations before using them, and always use them at the start of a fight. In the middle of a fight you can't afford to lose HP to summon a hostile demon. If you get a hostile at the start of the fight your main options are teleport, walk away, or summon more demons.
Play around with the abilities when at full HP vs an easy foe if you want, it's easier to see them in action than to theorycraft. Alternately there's always wizmode / alternate accounts.

Minor Destruction is very weak and should probably never be used by a Deep Dwarf. It's like tomahawk-level damage or something, if that (it often casts Pain which is often resisted).

Major Destruction, on the other hand, is quite strong. Its spell list is something like Bolt of Draining, (ranged) Sticky Flame, Iron Shot, Fireball, and Orb of Electrocution (radius 2 AoE). It kills a surprising number of things in 2-3 casts at high Invocations. Especially if you get Iron Shot. The chance of explosions makes it tricky to use safely, though. Normally you can spam it like a lunatic because its piety cost is negligible, but a Deep Dwarf does have to worry about the HP cost.

Re: CIP DDNe of Makhleb - I have no idea what I'm doing

Update: Cleared Lair, Orc, D and in the process of doing Spider. Haven't gotten around to learning haste yet but got Wizardry (twice - once from the shop, then from the lair:8 ending soon after. Figures). Dire elephant lair ending was REALLY scary, I underestimated them in every way (hp/accuracy/damage/meph resistance/agony resistance), had to burn through something like 10 hw charges due to fighting them from an awful position due to thinking I'd win. Cleared it all out in the end. In the stash are staves of wizardry, energy and power. Got Death, Beasts, Burglary, Warp in the stash too. Ice cave in spider was silly, an ice fiend shows up and I burn a blinking to get the hell out of there (don't want to deal with that!).

Should I main the dagger of pain (found it on the floor in orc:4) or the great mace of flaming?

The dagger. Switch to the great mace for pain-immune enemies. Recommended spells: Apportation, Dispel Undead, and Sublimation. Raise Invocations to 12, if you plan on using greater servants.

A neat trick with a DD of Makhleb that I often used: I you lose a lot of HPs in a fight, it is good to go back to Orc, find a respawned orc group, and heal up by killing them. (Of course, this destroys your turncount, but I never care about that).

Why on earth would you auto-travel long distances and subject yourself to one of the smite-heaviest areas of the game while at low HP, when you could just use that wand of heal wounds that DDs start the game with?
