CiP: HECj of Ash

Doing pretty well so far, just cleared Swamp:$ and found the plutonium sword. While it's obviously a fairly awesome weapon, particularly for an Ash worshiper who won't be switching anyway, I'm not entirely sure it's better for me than my current +5,+7 vampiric demon blade and +2 rF+ shield. Which would you guys recommend?

Aside from the weapon choice, I'd also like to know what you guys would pick in terms of ring setup. The rPois will be covered by the cloak, leaving two slots free since sustenance isn't that important. I'm thinking rF and MR, especially if I'm dropping the shield, but I can imagine swapping either for the EV+6 ring.

And since we're at it, are there any spells that would be particularly handy? I've already learned the spells I use on pretty much any character that's primarily a caster, so I've got some room to experiment. The obvious addition would be spellforged servitor, but unfortunately I haven't found it yet. I've got a book of annihilations, so fire storm is an option but since I'm only doing a 3-runer I doubt I can get it reliable enough before I finish. I've heard poison arrow is supposed to be quite good but judging from the stats iron shot just seems more dependable me. Opinions and suggestions are welcome.

Re: CiP: HECj of Ash

I think i'd go with rF+ and MR+ ring.

With Ash help and fully bound in magic you'll be up a few skill levels. Fire Storm is achievable and certainly a powerful spell but it needs a lot of investment, and hybrid is not an easy path to walk with only so much EXP to go around. Also with a weapon that good you probably don't need it anyway. 9 mp of fiery death could probably be solved with a few hits from +16 claymore anyway.

Re: CiP: HECj of Ash

With Ash boost it is very feasible to get plutonium sword to mindelay without sacrificing other skills too much, and plutonium sword is a crazy good weapon. On the other hand a +5, +7 vampiric demon blade and shield of rF+ is a really good set up too and would require not as much further training (just get shields to 15 with Ash boost).

Swap in cloak of rpois when you get the chance, and take off the rpois ring and the ring of sustenance. Put on and curse the +6 EV ring and the ring of protection from magic, first opportunity you get.

I don't get why you are training so many skills. I'd train only fighting until that manual is all used up, then I'd get shields to 15 with Ash's boost. Get enough armor to pop another couple of points of extra AC. Then go for transloc for an escape option if you find the spells to support that (control teleport, controlled blink, phase shift). For the most part you should only train spell casting when you need the spell levels.

Then do whatever you want, really. But picking up Summon butterflies and perhaps shadow creatures or monstrous menagerie would be worthwhile, you got the summoning skill already to support them, if they are available.
