Re: YASD - Awesome gear won't save me

That is super gear, though even at +13 a hand axe might be on the weak side. You ought to spend an escape scroll if you don't think you can win by a big margin at 100% health and definitely by 50% health. And personally, I don't even enter Elf:1 without MR+++ or Lugonu due to banishment risk.

I was coming to the forum to post "should I bother continuing" after finding +11 great sword and +10 ring mail artifacts by D9 ... maybe I'll stick it out a little longer :)

Re: YASD - Awesome gear won't save me

Those hand axe and a shield were pretty bad actually, I'd rather use a two-hander on this char. RIP

I actually did get Abyssed, but easily made it out. It was my first time on Elf 3 so...lesson learned.

Re: YASD - Awesome gear won't save me

Yeah that axe...

Something I've learned over a number of runs now is that handaxe is just poor, pretty much nothing but elec/pain changes that.

Your gear was pretty strong yes, nice enchant on the weapon and some slay. However like Sar I wouldnt have paired those two. A large shield you are not yet trained for that comes with -Dex is a poor trade for rCorr and some SH. It certainly impacted your EV noticably, and Stealth+ is pointless on a big shield you dont have skill for. Im assuming you had some kind of regular shield before since skill was at 15, probably would have kept that if not going outright battleaxe. It left you with 8EV, and sure enough, you get iron shotted.

There wasnt a broadaxe of <damage> kicking about? While the weapon enchant looks good on paper it doesnt have a strong brand, vorpal/flame/frost, these need to be on big bases.

Axe skill was way too high if you were seriously intending a 1-hander run, feels like you got lulled by the nice rCorr and rElec on two otherwise mediocre items, saw that your resist set was full and just dived into Elf. Which I've totally done. Commiserations.

edit: also in Elf, vs the swarms of casters, i'd have been tempted by that AM axe you had.

Re: YASD - Awesome gear won't save me

This is the main reason you died:

<Snip loads of attack messages>
You feel less exhausted.
<Snip more attack messages>
You die...


i.e. you went berserk with a dangerous unique, a death mage and an annihilator in view (and whatever else waiting in the wings). Risky at best.

Another thing was that you were in Elf:3 at all at just xl 19 and with two pips of MR - elf:3 is one of the last floors I do, if at all.

Also, your gear wasn't awesome for your character at that stage, because:
a) The large shield lowered your dex considerably (which consequently lowered your evasion and hampered your to-hit with a 60% str-weighted weapon), and your lack of training with it also lowered your EV even more and slowed your attacks down (due to only having 15 shields - you needed 25 for a large shield)
b) CPA has an ER of 23 - although this gave you great AC, it didn't help your EV at all. Also, bear in mind that you can get hellfired, tormented and banished in Elf:3, which AC doesn't help with at all.
c) The hand axe was rubbish against Asterion, since he usually has good armour, which a hand axe doesn't have the mass to punch through (would have been good against the mages on Elf:3, which might have given you a false sense of security)

So your equipment actually turned you into an easy target without much opportunity to counter-attack.
