CIP - CeAM of Qazlal

This character seemed incredible, but I'm having trouble at Vaults 5 and Depths 5. I keep on getting stomped when all the heavy hitters show up at once and I have pretty weak defenses. I made what I thought was one of my best (luckiest?) escapes ever after quitting for a day after taking the below screenshot. Anyway I'm not sure what I can do to get this character past this midgame hump I'm hitting, I don't know if my tactics are off or if the build is off or what, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to proceed. In general I love the game changes, but it has definitely made this chunk of the game seem much harder than it used to be. Also, I seen in other posts people describing the disaster area ability as a win button, but it just does not seem to be hitting that hard for me. For the piety cost it barely has seemed worth it when I used it.

Re: CIP - CeAM of Qazlal

Your defenses are not bad for Ce but you should definitely train more Armour (your are wearing chain mail effectively since Centaurs have barding instead of boots).
Main problem is caused by not using Centaur's speed advantage. Even normal speed monsters and Nagas don't fight in the middle of Vaults 5, they immediately move into a corridor (haste+fear).
You used Disaster only twice and as all other abilities it is subject to damage roll so probably you were just unlucky.

Edit. I am not sure why you are training all those skills, especially unarmed. I would train only Fighting and Armour for a while.

Re: CIP - CeAM of Qazlal

i would turn off all skills, but raise unarmed or a weapon skill :P u only have like 50 arrows so u will need something else to deal damage soon. unless u got some in a stash somewhere. i dont think ull find many arrows now.. only bolts.

doesnt look good imo, but gl

Re: CIP - CeAM of Qazlal

So the main problem I see with this is you are fighting primarily in the center, you want to be along one edge between the center and the corner.

The way to get there is usually blink out of the ring and high-tail it for the side, a potion of haste helps a lot with this.

I also like to have some kind of summons to stuff up the corridors and use as LOS blockers.

Re: CIP - CeAM of Qazlal

Super helpful thanks! I got the rune. However, all of my arrows are now on the floor of vault 5 with a million sphinxs, tentacled monsters, liches, etc. I think I'm still screwed.

I did used to stair dance the bottom of the vaults, which this character would have been able to do with ease awhile ago, but that has become much harder with the wardens and full speed tentacled constriction. The sides are worse too now though since every vault has open corners. It's a little nuts. Going back in!

Re: CIP - CeAM of Qazlal

Qaz does make Vault:5 extra Fun thanks to the noise.

You also won't see the amazing results from its abilities until your invo is closer to max.

I'd worry about fighting and armor before training more invo for a while, though.
