Updated to: YASD:SpEn^Makhleb

Okay, back at Crawl after a couple week break, and once again I'm trying my luck with a SpEn. Last time I posted a YASD thread, but this time I thought I'd post things a bit earlier...

Comments, scoffing, rotten tomatoes, all are welcome!

In particular, I'd be curious what people think about my quickblade. There is also this available in a store:
the +4 short sword of Armageddon {pain, +Rage, rC+, MP+9}
Would it be worth picking this up and investing in Necromancy? Or is neither my current quickblade or the short sword worth thinking of as a long term solution?

Some notes:
- I'm planning to turn off Stealth at 22.0.
- I've just started training up Evocations, and aim to go to about 15 with it.
- I've cleared Orc, Lair, and the main Dungeon through 15. Am thinking to try Snake next until I things get tough, then Shoals.

Re: CiP: SpEn^Makhleb

I would probably turn off spellcasting, (if you like round numbers, then wait for 13)
A pain shortblade is pretty good, it will get you through most of a 3 rune game. The only place it won't be very good is Zot.

Ideally you'd have a better quickblade than an artifact stuck at +1 with a low quality brand, but even bad quickblades are not awful weapons.

Honestly though of the weapons you have on your person, I'd probably be using the elec dagger the most, dagger stabs do more damage than shortblades (At least until your stealth, short blades and dexterity are all over about 26) It'd take about 10 necromancy for the pain shortblade to outdo the electric dagger (and less things are immune to eletricity than pain)

Any of those would be fine weapons for a XL 16 stabber though.

Re: CiP: SpEn^Makhleb

Thanks for the feedback, Siegurt. I'm up to XL 17 with him now, and I'm noticing that it's just taking time to kill something with the quickblade, unless it's stabbing something that's asleep, for example.

I've got access to three enchant weapon scrolls too. I think I'll put those on the elec dagger and give that a shot for the time being.

Thanks!

Re: CiP: SpEn^Makhleb

Still hanging around at XL 18 now, and have gotten the barnacled rune. I had one brain fart/near death experience that got me down to 2 HP, only a short while after I accelerated my Fighting skill training. Very glad I dumped points into Fighting for that one. At the moment, I'm poking about the first two floors of Elf before heading back to try to finish the vault on Snake.

I had another random weapon question. I'm currently using a +6 electric dagger, but I stabbed a sleeping Asterion who dropped a vampiric demon blade. As tempting as it seems, I'm guessing it makes no sense to consider switching to that weapon? I'd have to give up the buckler, improve long blades, and suffer reduced stabbing damage, but gosh, it seems like such a nice weapon.

Re: Updated to: YASD:SpEn^Makhleb

This should really be YARSD (Yet Another REALLY Stupid Death).

I got killed by a lich, again, at XL 19 on Depths 1. I enslaved a bunch of ugly things and was beating down on the lich, but in the mean time it summoned a Shadow Fiend that two-shotted me from distance. All I had to do to stay alive was to cast silence, but I didn't recognize the threat, despite dying a similar death to a lich in my previous SpEn game. If I had slowed down for a second to analyze what was going on, I would have reacted better.

Sigh. I thought this one had a chance.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
