YASD : MiFi, bored...

[mopl]

Started a MiFi going Polearms, started with a trident, but early game has been quite generous with weapons...

  Code:

 a - a +0,+0 trident
 y - a +2,+2 war axe of distortion
 D - a +0,+2 whip of electrocution
 E - a +0,+1 lajatang of speed (weapon)

I'm level 5 of the dungeon, trained Polearms to 12 so far...

Woud one of those weapon (especially the lajatang) make you change your way ?
Can the lajatang be an endgame weapon ? (if enchanted of course and maybe rebranded...)

[cerebovssquire]

Yes, the lajatang is excellent and, if enchanted, will clear the whole game with ease. Switch to Staves. The brand is also excellent, don't change it.

[mopl]

Quick and appropriate answer ! Thanks

[mopl]

Crawl confirms that I had to switch to Staves...

  Code:

a - the +8,+6 quarterstaff of Bafieck (weapon) {crush, rF+}

Currently using it but I enchanted the lajatang to +0 +3...
What is the point where I should switch ?

[wheals]

Right now I'd say. A +3 speed lajatang is better than that qstaff at any skill level.

[Siegurt]

Keep the quarterstaff for Hydra killing (Lajatangs chop heads) Lajatang is better than quarterstaff at all skill levels against any non-hydra though.

[mopl]

Aaaaargh ! Weapon choice, always !!

  Code:

a - the +8,+6 quarterstaff of Bafieck {crush, rF+}
 f - the +9,+3 lajatang of the Six Wishes {antimagic, rElec}
 u - a +1,+1 orcish bardiche
 w - the +8,+8 lajatang "Dragon's Tongue" (weapon) {pain, +Blink +Inv rC+ Stlth}
 E - a +0,+5 lajatang of speed

The bardiche (I have 3 ?EW1 and ?EW3) makes me wonder about polearms again...

On the other hand, Orc:4 is full of bolts, is using Crossbows a good idea ?

I currently use the +8 pain lajatang (could train some necromancy if I find a book)

[dck]

It's a -pain- lajatang and it might as well be unbranded for you since you have zero necromancy (pain adds 1dNecro AC-ignoring damage when it triggers).
The lajatang of speed is still your best weapon by far (by FAR) and you want to be enchanting that, but probably carry the antimagic lajatang too if you can be bothered switching for spellcasters.

[mopl]

Weapons - OK
Armour, let's check ! I have 8?EA, and a FD hide... should I go for it ? Or enchant my MR plate armour ?
I plan to go extended...

I have a manual of Necromancy, is it worth using it for :

b - the +8,+8 lajatang "Dragon's Tongue" {pain, +Blink +Inv rC+ Stlth}

Also how much Evocation do I want ?

Edit : Oka just gifted me with

  Code:

h - +2 hat "Uclabraesm" {rElec rF+ Acc-5 Stlth+}

I think I can ignore the Acc-5, so I can also enchant my Ice Dragon hide...

[Siegurt]

You'd need roughly 20-26 necormancy (depending on target AC and staff training) for the pain lajatang to equal the speed lajatang, and pain doesn't work on demons or undead.

So no, don't train necromancy just for the pain brand weapon, if you have Necro spells you want, by all means train it.

The plate is better AC, the FDA would make spellcasting easier and give you a couple more points of EV, at the expense of a pip of rC and a few AC points. I'd probably only enchant it if you were planning to take advantage of the spellcasting, or don't have another decent source of rF, the ring you have is probably sufficient for the MR bonus, so I wouldn't worry too much about the MR on your plate.

Yes, the lajatang is excellent and, if enchanted, will clear the whole game with ease. Switch to Staves. The brand is also excellent, don't change it.

That weapon is powerful enough to allow someone to beat DCSS with ease? One item can really do that? I thought this game had a pretty brutal difficulty level

It doesn't.

[variouselite]

the difficulty you speak of is *almost* entirely dependent on player error

[Sprucery]

Yeah. So the "with ease" does not mean that you can't be killed by making a bad decision

Bored, that's the only word...
