CIP: MiGl^Hep, no rPois (Update: YASD)

So I've been kind of all over the place since I got my hard-earned first win (GrEE^Ru). I refuse to win again with only 3 runes, and I've gotten 3 with a DsFi^Goz and a DsAK^Lug (but died in Slime and Vestibule, respectively).

And I've still had better chars since then, but this is my current run with some unique issues. I think I can win but I probably need some advice.

I've cleared D, Lair, Orc and Swamp (Swamp thanks to a scarf of cloud immunity that saved me from swamp dragons), but the game has stubbornly refused to generate any sources of rPois. Or any one-handed polearm better than my +3 vorpal trident.

I'm 90% sure that I'll splat in short order if I try to do Spider, but I have more than one source of MR+ so I'm considering doing Elf 1-2, and VERY carefully, hall of blades in search of rPois and a better weapon.

Other advice?

Re: CIP: MiGl^Hep, no rPois or good weapons

I general, you should consider using a 2H weapon simply because good 1H weapons are not reliably generated. Hall of blades will not have a good 1H polearm, as Hall of blades does not generate demon weapons, and the only good 1H polearm base type is a demon trident.

Condider training polearms to 20 and switching to a glaive. Alternatively, if another base type of demon weapon or double sword/evening star has generated, consider switching weapon classes.

Slay-2 is generaly bad to have, see if there is a regular MR+ chain or plate available.

Re: CIP: MiGl^Hep, no rPois or good weapons

Gotcha. I know at the very least I've seen halberds lying around (if I'm remembering correctly RNG has been stingy with all weapons, not just polearms).

The only other good armor I have is a +6 scale with rF++, MP-9, Dex+4, I've been wearing that up until toying with going to elf. I was also interested in the rCorr on the chain because of the elf high priests that pack corrosive bolt, and I figured I could outweigh the -2 slay by simply training extra polearms.

But 2-handed definitely seems like the way to go, thanks. Especially since I spend most of my time hacking away from behind the great ancestor meatshield.

Re: CIP: MiGl^Hep, no rPois or good weapons

Having Armour higher than Fighting is almost always a bad idea (the only exception is probably DD in heavy armour early). Armour increases AC by {base armour} * {Armour skill} / 22, with that chain mail and scarf your base armour is 10 so it means you get 0.45 AC per Armour skill i.e. you got 7 AC for 16 levels in Armour.
Repulsion is not great with low EV and high SH, I would probably use a simple cloak instead. Even +0 cloak would give you 2 AC with your current Armour skill.

Re: CIP: MiGl^Hep, no rPois or good weapons

I see. Yea fighting, nay armor. Would I still nix the scarf if I go the 2H weapon route, especially against all the archers in Elf?

Re: CIP: MiGl^Hep, no rPois or good weapons

Update: YASD by ice fiends in ice cave found on Elf:2. :(

I'd never seen that Ice Cave layout before (let alone found a portal in Elf), so I didn't heed the early signs and got tormented to death after I tried to engage. Ancestor perished after one hit, so I absolutely should have run. Heck, I only had one ring of ice for protection but in most cases I have a hubris-based need to take timed portals.

I did get a glaive of protection on Ef:1 though, and things were much smoother for Elf:1 and part of Elf:2. Thanks for the advice all.

Re: CIP: MiGl^Hep, no rPois or good weapons

I think you're ready for Spider TBH, and mainly because of your Evocations:

  1. The wand of enslavement is good in Spider, because when you get an ally with a venom attack, the other baddies are rPois-.
  2. The wand of digging is good to make killholes, because Spider is usually easy to get surrounded in.
  3. When you do have crowds approaching you, you can soften them up with wand of iceblast and lightning rod for area-of-effect attacks.
  4. The wand of paralysis is powerful too. If you've found a scroll of vulnerability and dropped on the floor, go back and pick it up, it knocks a dangerous foe's MR down into paralyzable territory
  5. IIRC your ally has both SInv for ghost moths and rPois for nearly everything, you can reach over it with a polearm, and you have a faith amulet so you can spam Idealize.
IMO rPois is a lot more valuable against sources of poisonous clouds than against poisonous bites. You really can do Spider without it, especially since you have the SInv for ghost moths.

NB I'm not a great player. Half of my purpose of saying this is to see which parts of it better players will contradict.
