Hello!
Here are a few question for this MiBe who frshly left Trog for TSO
1) Which weapon to bless? +9 demon-whip or +9 antimagic evening star ? Is antimagic efficient against panlord, helllords, etc?
2) I usually wear +8 FDA as I like to have average AC and EV, but I was wondering about GDA. Is it good?
Thanks

Bless the demon whip. If you bless the evening star you'll lose antimagic, which is indeed good against panlords and other dangerous spellcasting enemies.
To decide between FDA and GDA, try them each on. Then you can use fsim to decide which is better, or else refer to the table of values in
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14963 . GDA is probably better.

Personally, I'd wear the fda, provided you have a decent source of rc+ to offset the rc- because spellcasting would be faster - and I get blink asap, because it's quite good to get away from a posse of berserking giants spawned around you, which isn't usually an healthy thing.
Also, considered you don't have any source of haste (!!!), I'd stop to train anything else, equip a shield instead a large shield and start to train charms to get it - hoping you don't have burned all the books containing those two spells

With 27 Str and almost 23 in Shields wouldn't large shield penalty be negligible?

Whups, most probably yes I don't know why but I've read 19,4 shields instead of 19,4 dodging

Pfiou, I now have 14 runes
I wear GDA, it's quite good and I still have decent EV thanks to Shaolin Ring. But casting Haste is a real pain with it and low Int!
I'm going for tomb, think I'm gonna wear SustAb or I will be brainless quickly.
