YAVP: four octopodes of dithmenos

Dithmenos is a great god for octopodes - not just stabbers. Reduction of enemy accuracy is great when your defenses are EV/SH. Shadow step to plants effectively provides a big bag of off-brand controlled blinks for lair problem solving. And the biggest benefit is free massive stealth without even having to train the stealth skill, which helps you pick your battles and fight enemies one at a time. Also, in extended, shadow form is occasionally useful.

I'm streaking octopodes of dithmenos with 15 runes each.

First in streak, and my first real attempt ever at a speedrun/high score. A statform melee bruiser with long blades. 76k turns for 15 runes.

Berder, XL27 OpCj, T:97180: http://dobrazupa.org/morgue/Berder/morg ... 203814.txt
Second in streak, I played around with singularity, cblink, and dispersal, plus statform melee.

Berder, XL27 OpIE, T:146963: http://dobrazupa.org/morgue/Berder/morg ... 054825.txt
Third in streak, I went for iron shot and shatter. Never found statform, but I still had melee, and used shadow form to help avoid torment.

Berder, XL27 OpAr, T:152103: http://dobrazupa.org/morgue/Berder/morg ... 015258.txt
Fourth in streak, another pure melee statform bruiser. My gear gave me Stlth++++. As an octopode of dithmenos at max piety, I know from experience that alone would make me "uncannily stealthy," even if I didn't train any stealth. But I trained 27 stealth, making me stealthy beyond words. Managed to one-hit stab Gloorx Vloq, Mnoleg, Ereshkigal, and Asmodeus.

And my current work in progress, aiming for fifth in streak. On all the other podes I used long blades. This time I'm trying out maces for a change. I'm also using a two handed weapon this time instead of a shield, so we'll see how that works out. Shaping up to be another melee statform bruiser with few spells.

Re: YAVP: four octopodes of dithmenos

Fifth in my octopode streak completed, with 15 runes like the others. I have not died for the last 75 runes. As expected, a stealthy great mace wielding statform behemoth, although I did get a lot of use out of dispersal and controlled blink. Great maces feel fairly strong and my lack of a shield wasn't too noticeable. However, a few times I did miss not having the cross training with short blades (like I had with long blades), which would have helped me stab more enemies.
http://dobrazupa.org/morgue/Berder/morg ... 194908.txt

At one point in vaults I was down to 1 hp (!) from a yaktaur captain as I was blinking away from a prolonged and deadly fight. Another very tense moment came in the first chamber of zot:5 before the lungs, when I recklessly fought the initial orb guardians all at once - would have been fine except they all berserked, with a berserking golden dragon to boot. Was potentially a turn from death a couple times there.

Re: YAVP: four octopodes of dithmenos

All of the fake streak breakers that I'm aware of have been on http://lazy-life.ddo.jp:8080/#lobby, so pre-emptively making a Berder account on that server could save your streak.

Heh, too late, streak is broken by a D1 goblin. Streak of 5 dithpodes. Pretty good, and I was getting bored anyway.

Someone has made a Berder account on that server already! They haven't played any games, but I need to get that account removed/gain control over it.
