[CIP] Chei to Ashenzari?

Cheibriados was really good earlier in the game, but now that I have higher spell skills and Carnivore 1, I don't need the +Int so much, and Slouch just doesn't hit as hard (comparatively) as it did on D:10. Plus, I keep getting into frightening tight spots due to extreme slowness and inability to learn the Haste spell I have sitting in my stash. Since Chei's wrath is probably the most impotent in the game, I figure I should just leave now, and plan to switch to Ashenzari. My questions are:

-Are there any obvious better gods to switch to that I'm not thinking of?
-If I curse a Staff of Wucad Mu, what skills does Ashenzari give, Staves&Evoc or Spellcasting?
-How much will dropping Int from 36 to ~= 26 hurt?
-What sorts of magic equipment should I curse to minimize the need for swap items?
-I have a gigantic stack of honeycombs, an amulet of faith, and a ring of sustenance. Should I just wait out Chei's wrath, or press on in spite of it?

Keep in mind I'm only shooting for three or four runes. I've never won before and I don't want to spoil a potential ascension by trying the extended game.
(I'm also really scared of going splat by running away with the orb at about 0.4 tiles/turn.)

Re: [CIP] Chei to Ashenzari?

Nearly anybody is better than Chei. You might try Zin or Elyvilon, since you've invested into invocations already and when you're not confident on being able to get that first win there's nothing quite like being able to turn on invincibility when something dangerous happens. Makhleb, Vehumet, and Nemelex are all generically good for the late mid-game, too.

lgxfl wrote:-If I curse a Staff of Wucad Mu, what skills does Ashenzari give, Staves&Evoc or Spellcasting?


Not spellcasting. Never spellcasting. Or fighting, for that matter.

lgxfl wrote:-How much will dropping Int from 36 to ~= 26 hurt?


Somewhat, but spell hunger really shouldn't be a problem anyway. You'll be able to patch up spell success rates without too much trouble. Spell power for combat spells will take a little longer, but you'd continue training for that anyway.

lgxfl wrote:-What sorts of magic equipment should I curse to minimize the need for swap items?


All your armor except for gloves, your shield, and if you can afford to do so bind your best amulet and your best ring. Jewelry is the most beneficial binding for you, but it's also the only binding that still constitutes a significant sacrifice. You can't curse a holy wrath weapon.

lgxfl wrote:-I have a gigantic stack of honeycombs, an amulet of faith, and a ring of sustenance. Should I just wait out Chei's wrath, or press on in spite of it?


Never wait it out. Waiting it out is boring, and playing no game at all is better than playing a boring game. You have ample levels of Vaults, Crypt, and Dungeon to clear, so you should be well on your way to mollifying Chei before you hit the endgame.

You might want to aim at an offensive ability for when Freezing Cloud stops cutting it, against shadow dragons, ancient liches, and orbs of fire for instance. Since you're only going 3-Runes, Orb of Destruction will do fine but you'll want to pick up Controlled Blink or semi-controlled Blink so you can use it repeatedly.

Re: [CIP] Chei to Ashenzari?

I just made the switch, and naga speed has never seemed so fast! Heck, I can even move during combat.
