YAVP: DsAK, first win!

So, after several months of playing (and relearning, I used to play a lot but stopped back when DK and MD were still around, and Divinations was a thing, and we had to practice our skills damn it! :) ), I finally managed to ascend for the first time. Oh, and I started playing online! Never did that before.

I could probably have managed it earlier with a Mi or something, but I find Ds are just too much fun (especially now that their mutations are actually useful! That was a great change.) so I've been constantly dying with them for quite some time. I usually played either classic melee builds, or tried Necro, and that definitely wasn't working.

So after reading somewhere that Lugonu was the god of escaping from trouble I decided to try it out (for the first time! I used to be terrified of the Abyss, has it been nerfed or something? I find it much more survivable now, even if you don't worship Lugonu, than I remember. Or perhaps I just got better at it :) ) and, to my surprise, I ascended! And with 5 runes! For the first time!

I guess this kind of proves I still suck at judging when I should retreat. Lugonu saved me at least three times from certain death. I also think I got quite lucky with randarts, that helped a lot.

I never used Corrupt (except at Zot:5) out of fear of losing loot I guess, and I didn't find the need to put distortion on a weapon (because of that lajatang). Would it have been better to have distortion rather than crushing on the great mace? Btw, I found both the armour and the lajatang in Elf:3. :D

Banish is the best thing ever (bye Maud!), especially knowing your success chance. It saved me a couple of times from uniques and corrosive enemies. Also, the best mutations are the most boring, unfortunately. You can't argue with +30% HP, an extra resistance, or more AC.

Any advice on skill assignment? I mostly just went with what I felt was right. Probably should've invested a bit more on magic, but I still find it hard to remember to use it. Not sure if it was right to invest in Dodging.

Now I want to try either Jiyva, or a Cj, or perhaps 15 runes, but that is still terrifying. Any suggestions?

I don't think Corrupt can destroy loot.

Well, I generally pick up misc evokables and train some Evocations with every character I play.

Congrats!

I like that you think you invested. Your dodging was low to be perfectly honest, even when allowing for GDA. You have there a good body armour, nice and strong 46AC. But you dodge like a brick and I bet you ate a lot of bolts towards the end. I'd have parked Fighting around 22-24 and then you'd also have some more EV in exchange for a pittance of your massive HP pool.

Congrats on the win though, looks like you certainly stomped it, nice set of gear.

Spells, I would normally have said look into a bunch of utility stuff, but if you are going into GDA and have guardian spirit mut then you might as well accept that its wands, rods and decks and push evocations in place of magic. Its quicker too being all one skill, where spells take 2-4 skills to use.

Re: YAVP: DsAK, first win!

I'd be interested to see what the dodge training does to the character. It's my experience that even though I often train dodge to like 20 in heavy armors, it doesn't seem like there's enough EV change to make the investment worth it. Although my characters do not usually have 19 dex which makes a big difference on that point.

Re: YAVP: DsAK, first win!

Congrats on your first win! Feels good doesn't it, finally showing the game who's boss?

And yeah I would've tried to get that EV up to 20+ at least myself, too.

Corruption is good and doesn't destroy loot. A demon whip with distortion brand is even better :)

Good to know! I wasn't sure if Dodging was worth it. I thought taking Fighting to 27 was a must, but you're right that I had more than enough HP. Useful utility spells were rather scarce, I learned those I could, so yeah, Evo was probably a better choice.

Thanks, it really does!

Demon whip with distortion brand was my initial hope. Unfortunately I think the only dwhip I found was some weak randart. And the next time I will Corrupt EVERYTHING. :twisted:
