CIP: an octo with an interesting weapon
Then on D:4 I found my best randart ever, something quite impressive indeed: the +9 trident of Gooshroeh (weapon) {speed, Fragile +Rage +Inv Str+9}
Really, this time we can say: "when you find a weapon and realize you're gonna bring it to the endgame"
I immediately switched to training Polearms like crazy (with a bit of Evo to kickstart those incredible bonuses) and started killed ogres and yaks like there's no tomorrow.
Now I (finally!) got to the Temple and I'm unsure about the god to follow: Gozag for the jewellery (and books)? Dith to eventually double up on melee attacks and conjurations? Vehu, to complement my melee with long-range attacks? Or should I stick to Sif, wait a long time and make sure to get Stone Statue? To do that I have to avoid dying earlier, though...
Ironically, in a shop on D:4 I also found a cheap (789 gold)... +8 longbow of velocity, +Inv! Too bad my trident is fragile, otherwise I would've been set on ranged attacks, too!
Anyway, I'm gonna stop now lest I have too much fun and end up killed like a moron. In the meantime, any advice on gods and general build strategy would be appreciated. This is really an octopus that would shine as a stone statue...
