Started this caracter offline in trunk while on vacation with my family. This is my first good DD, and I've been incredibly lucky. I found the the +8 trident of True Grit {vamp, +Blink Stlth++} on D4, and everything just took off from there. I don't have a lot of experience with Makhleb, but he's feeling really strong. Lesser servant was great for lair and D up to vaults, and once I got greater servant online, everything just melted. I tabbed my way through shoals and vaults with the occasional help from an executioner or balrug, and I hardly even noticed Jory and St. Roka before they died.

People in the forum and on irc always say "ignore shields get 2 hand weapons", but I like the trident/shield combo a lot, and donald's reflect shield is great in shoals/vaults. I feel like I can ignore packs of ranged monsters while I deal with more pressing issues. iirc my first win was a one-hand/shield gargoyle as well, so I think that shields may be under rated a little.

A few questions:

How does invocations affect Makhleb skills? Obviously it makes summoned demons less likely to be hostile, but should I train it more to get more HP on kill?

I just got +8 trident "Zutaesin" {pain, rF+ rN+} on vaults:5, I'm considering swapping it for the vamp trident. Will the HP on kill from Makhleb be enough, or should I stick with the vamp?

I also found a vamp Dtrident on vaults:5, but I think that a +8 normal trident is better, right? If the speed is the same, the +8 trident should have better damage I think.

Is abjuration necessary? Because I don't want to call in a hostile 1 class demon and have to deal with torment + whatever made me summon it in the first place.

I've never gone into extended, but this character is feeling so incredibly strong that I'm considering it. Do you think it's a good idea? I'm pretty scared of torment, but damage shaving and Rneg++ should help right?

Should I train polearms past mindelay?

What about armour choice? I got a +3 plate with MR off of Jory, should I enchant it up, or go for dragon armour of some kind? I completely forgot to butcher the gold dragons on vaults:5, so it will probably be a while until GDA is an option :(

Re: CIP: DDFi, by far my strongest character ever

Vamp dtrident is better, don't train past min delay
extended with DD is really annoying if you don't want to play carefully around tormentors
Also you will never get any tormenting 1s from greater servant
The character itself is fine but you overtrained shields a little and undertrained fighting - this is pretty minor though
Oh, and go for MR plate since you have rF+++ anyway

Re: CIP: DDFi, by far my strongest character ever

Is the demon trident better just because of the potential for enchanting it higher? Because going by the raw numbers I don't understand how it's better. If it's the enchanting factor, I'll use the randart trident until I enchant the demon trident past it.

Re: CIP: DDFi, by far my strongest character ever

no, the demon trident has like 5 more base damage (and base damage is like twice as good as enchantment)

Re: CIP: DDFi, by far my strongest character ever

Demon trident: damage 12

trident: damage 9 (+8 from randart)

are you saying the +8 isn't really +8?

What ever the reason, you're right. The demon trident (enchanted to +9) kills stuff faster and that's all that really matters.

Re: CIP: DDFi, by far my strongest character ever

Base damage is completely different from enchantment. They are only equivalent if you have 0 weapon skill, 0 fighting skill, and your str and dex are both between 9 and 11. See https://loom.shalott.org/learndb.html#str and

For comparison, melee weapon skill is 1+1d(skill level)/25. These stack multiplicatively with each other (and with brands!), so the effect is a bit bigger than it might intuitively sound.

Re: CIP: DDFi, by far my strongest character ever

Thanks, I didn't realize that they were different. I also had no idea that str and fighting affected damage so much. I always though that fighting=HP. This explains why I've had trouble with melee characters in the past.

Re: CIP: DDFi, by far my strongest character ever

If you change to TSO for extended (demon trident -> blessed trishula FTW), swap out Donald's shield for a different shield because reflection constantly accidentally violates TSO's rules.

Re: CIP: DDFi, by far my strongest character ever

YAVP now :D. That was pretty fun, any suggestions for other DD combos? I'm thinking maybe a stealthy one.

chardump is here.

Thanks for the tips everyone!
