[CiP] DsFi^Qaz - Need help with skilling and general advice

[Rivotril]

Hello everyone, first post around here.
So, I've been playing crawl on and off for quite some time, but never managed to get a win (got as close as Zot:1). This character got a REALLY lucky string of events in which I ended up with the mutation "rapidly evolving", a +9 vamp great sword, an awesome plate armour and what not. Just need some better resitances, I guess.
What I ask is:
Which skills to level next? My plan was going for 25 invo, 20 fighting, 20 long blades, 20 armour and 15 dodge, more or less. Is that a good plan? If no, any suggestions on a better order/other things to level?

Also, I plan on getting my thrid rune on the Vaults and then going for Zot. Should I do Elves, Crypt, Ziggurat or anything before that for loot (assuming I don't find better resists) or do you think I can manage with what I have?

[WingedEspeon]

My advice is to put all points into Str from now on. Dex-> dodging experiences stepdowns after hitting 24 dex and worst stepdowns after 30 dex. 18 strength is also the BARE MINIMUM for wearing plate seriously (past super early when game) Enchant up your cloak, or look for one of magic resistance and enchant it up if it is found. You can still wear a hat with anntena 1. Look for spirit shield items they help a lot. The skilling seems fine. I would probably raise dodging to 20 and fighting to 25 after you hit your goal. Quaz give rMsls was you really don't need magic as that is probably the best support spell anyway.

You do not have enough MR for zot. I would be wary of elf:3 with that much MR, as getting abbysed is worse with quazlal. You want a bare minimum of 2 MR+ items for zot with xl27, and prefereably 3. with 3 you have enough mr at your level to never get paralyzed by A-liches. Two is enough to bring the the chance to very low (if it works the way I think is does 0.65% chance)

[edgefigaro]

Most Importantly
You cleared shoals. Did a bunch of javs spawn? Alternatively, did magical devices spawn (lamp of fire, phial of floods, fan of air, sack of spiders, ornate or legendary decks)? How many bolt wands are on the floor?

Getting a ranged attack is more important than working your defensive bases at this point (they are good!). You have two basic choices on many at this point characters, Throwing v Evocations: Things to consider: Throwing likes str and fighting. Evocations provides wide and varied utility, does damage, creates summons. In this case, you have str and fighting, and your god kills your minions, so I would recommend throwing.

Either is a good choice, and 10 in throwing would be my first priority.

You have over 20 invocations and have never used disaster area. I don't understand why you play qaz. Disaster area is where the fun is at. You are using your piety for upheavals, which is fine, and has served as both your ranged attack and AOE to this point. As you progress, however, you are entering a point in the game where you want to be using evocations/throwing for smaller scale battles and disaster area for larger scale battles. Upheaval will still have a place, but will be less prominent.

I always roll amulet of faith on qaz if one spawns.

I'd go depths at this point.

A MR ring is prolly better than the slaying artifact ring (rC+/rN+ is better then no rC and rN++) at this point, I understand why you would be reluctant to give it up.

Eat all your non-ration perma food immediately and eat it on sight from here on out (don't carry it in your inventory). I generally begin to do this at the end of lair.

ID a disintegration wand and your digging wand. Drop the other disintegration wand and the magic darts. Use recharging on your heal wounds wand.

[Sojiro]

You don't need more than 18 in Long Sword, this vampiric blade is all you need to beat the game. If you intend to do extended you might want to switch to the freezing triple sword and train up your skill accordingly, but you're not there yet. Also you have way more than enough Dex, but not enough Str for a plate user. You should definitely switch your level up bonuses from Dex to Str.

Given your pathetic MR, I'd stay away from the Elven Halls and go to the Depths now. You have enough raw power to tackle it.

I personally disagree, Upheaval is massively powerful and with 25 Invocation there's nothing you can't take with that. 10 in throwing would let him use javelins to soften up targets as they get closer, but that's going to be mostly negligible compared to what pain he can dish out in close combat. Getting at least 20 Fighting should come first. Although it might be better to get Throwing to 10 before raising Armour some more, because there's already enough AC and 0->10 is much cheaper than 15->20. I agree that he should get it before raising Dodging, which is less useful than Armour when wearing plate.

I think Evo and Throwing are difference unless you get a spammable rod like inaccuracy or destruction. Weak wands like frost/flame/darts are pathetic even with Evo 10, and more powerful wands don't provide enough charges to be something you use before every fight. Elemental evokers are good for 1 attack every 5~10 fights, so you can't spam it either. If he gets Evo it should be for situational usefulness, like Paralysis or elemental summoning (although Qaz already gives you elemental summoning as a power). Given you already have Qaz for summons and elemental damage, I'd definitely go Throwing over Evocation even though I love Evo.

Except for a few specific situations (Vaults:5, some other nasty entrance vaults, bad teleport) you should never need to use Disaster Area except as an emergency 'oh shit everything needs to die now!' button. And you should try to never end up in that sort of situation. If you are careful when drawing mobs, Upheaval is going to be more efficient at doing the job than Disaster Area, piety-wise (which is what matters in the long run).

As you progress, however, you are entering a point in the game where you want to be using evocations/throwing for smaller scale battles and disaster area for larger scale battles. Upheaval will still have a place, but will be less prominent.

In the depths it's going to be tough to only rely on Upheaval, because the noise will attract all sort of nasties (maps have an exceptional density of nastiness down there). So you're going to have to use Disaster Area down there. But I don't really think it's going to become the mainstay, there shouldn't be that many situations that can't be solved with 3 Upheavals (because that's your cutoff, DA costs 3 times as much as Upheaval).

I definitely agree that DA is going to be needed more as he progresses, but at his Invocation level it's most likely going to be overkill to use it as your default heavy response.

Eat all your non-ration perma food immediately and eat it on sight from here on out (don't carry it in your inventory). I generally begin to do this at the end of lair.

I don't. I agree that he shouldn't carry his non-ration food, but you don't have to eat them when you don't need them. You can just leave it on the ground wherever, if you end up low on permafood later you can Ctrl+f for it. If you don't intend to do extended it doesn't matter, though, because you've got more food than you're ever going to need.

ID a disintegration wand and your digging wand. Drop the other disintegration wand and the magic darts. Use recharging on your heal wounds wand.

Agreed. Although I wouldn't burn more than a couple of recharging scroll on it, you might need them for /Haste or /Teleport (remember you can't read ?tele when silenced!). To explain in more details:

You can use Disintegration to "open" a door at range, which can be very useful when you're aware that it's opening on a (probably nasty) vault. They can dig 1 square, which can be used to make kill-holes or hidey-holes. You usually want Digging for those (which is why they're valuable) but sometime you want to avoid over-digging for one reason or the other (like preventing blinking monster from getting behind you).

You don't need to carry all that junk. If your Disint wand runs out then it'll be time to grab the second one, in the mean time it's just fine sitting on the ground (possibly in a neat stash if you like that sort of thing).

Did you ever find this wand of darts useful? It's taking up inventory space for no reason. You definitely don't need to carry enchant/branding/amnesia scroll around; drop them and go back to grab them if you need them. They aren't needed in an emergency. The same is true of your cure mutation potions (except for rare situations involving abyssing). In fact if you're no longer regularly trying on stuff to identify it, you don't need remove curse scrolls available, and certainly not that many. If you drop most of them, you can use one if really needed, or free up your inventory slot if there's something else for you to grab.

You're not casting so these potions of brilliance do you no good. You might even want to remove them from auto-pickup. Same with weak wands you're never going to use anyway. If you do all that you'll find that you have way more inventory space for things you really need.


PS: things you could grab with those free slots include a blowgun and some curare needles. Juggernauts are horribly dangerous but have absolutely no resist, so you have 100% chance to slow and poison them if you hit them with the needle (which isn't too hard given their EV).

[WingedEspeon]

Quazlal gives a ranged attack in the form of invo. If zigsprint is any indication of the kind of damage his abilities do ( not the spammability of them) then he has enough of a ranged attack to take out your typical pan lord in one to two turns. One good ranged attack is better than two crappy ones. Besides, winning the game without a ranged attack is perfectly fine. Non ration permafood is good for zot where you don't want to lock yourself into eating for 3 turns when fighting a hungry cob.

EDIT: Training weapons past min delay is a thing because of drain. With this kind of character you have plenty of extra experience late game so you might as well get a couple of points above min delay as it will still increase your damage output even when you are not drained.

[Rivotril]

Oh, great suggestions. Thanks everyone!

Just on the disaster area thing, I didn't used it a lot because I didn't felt like I needed to. Upheaval has served me very well so far.
And yes there's some javs and magical devices hanging around somewhere, I'll go look out for 'em. Some of the items I'm carrying is because when I made the dump I had just finished and was going to bed, so didn't cleaned up before exiting. I tend to eat all the non-rations on sight aswell. I also found a MR cloak meanwhile and got it to +2, looking out for other sources of MR to further improve it.

Again, thanks a lot on the advices. <3

Does it really?

I definitely agree that DA is going to be needed more as he progresses, but at his Invocation level it's most likely going to be overkill to use it as your default heavy response.

I strongly disagree, upheaval should be the niche ability, with DA and EF the two main invocations. Here are two threads I made on the topic:
How to direct Qazlal's Disaster Area
Qazlal's Upheaval is a newbie trap
Upheaval is very inefficient piety-wise because it takes so many hits to kill all but the frailest monsters. DA costs as much as three upheavals, but can easily hit the target more than three times. You say this yourself, implying that 3 upheavals is better than DA. It even takes more time and MP to do 3 upheavals!

It's perfectly fine to deliberately put yourself in a situation where you need to use Disaster Area, because with 0% failrate and good positioning, you know it will do what it is supposed to do.
