NaWz of Makleb - how to Caustic shrike

Hi.

It seems that with the new version I lost the hold of the game. How would you deal with caustic schrikes now? I killed one with fireballs - but that was pretty unreliable since the second one nearly killed me (had to use 2 cblinks to survive). I guess this could end much worse if there were 2 of them. No haste/cblink/iron shot/orb as of now.

Re: NaWz of Makleb - how to Caustic shrike

Using this spellset, Bolt of Draining is definitely the best way to go.

*edit: oh, and train defenses! Your Fighting is pretty low and you haven't trained Dodging at all. That's no good for a naga with a robe.

You don't have to kill them you know. I usually teleport and leave them alone.

I guess, it is really scary to do so in Depth. But may be I am wrong

No Orb of Destruction? What's the 22 Cj for, then?

Yes, it is scary, but since you almost died in killing the last one, perhaps it is less scarier. Often, you can explore from a different staircase, and so on. I do not know if this is possible here. I was reminding you that the option is there.

Your spell list seems fine to me. 62 total defences is more than enough for normal monsters, though you can get some cheap EV by training dodging, and you should training fighting more for HP. Aim for at least 10 in both. Even "mages" should train defences.

Re: NaWz of Makleb - how to Caustic shrike

I think you made a skilling mistake by levelling Cj so high without spells to use it. That excess should probably have been dumped into fighting and dodging. If youve dropped any potions of agility, theyre quite good against shrikes...

Re: NaWz of Makleb - how to Caustic shrike

Imo, you have a lot of skill points invested in redundant skills, which is common among straight-damage spellcasters. Moreover, you don't have a spell list that takes advantage of those investments well. This is criticism of bad planning, though, not advice about what to do going forward.

In the immediate future, I think you should get stoneskin, swiftness, rmsl, and animate dead. You should forget shatter and perhaps dispel undead if necessary. In the long run, after you've fixed your dodging situation, phase shift would be good to have. If you're doing a 3 rune game, there is no long run. If you pick up lcs and/or orb, you should just go win. Alternatively, if shadow creatures is available, you can just pick up a few levels of summonings and win with that.

Re: NaWz of Makleb - how to Caustic shrike

and - hurray! I have got book of annihilation in slime 6.
Therefore I forgot shatter and dispel undead. lcs is there so I am raising fire for now to get RoF and Firestorm
I am not sure if shadow creatures would do me anything good with orbs of fire.

A small offtopic - is there any way to know the tohit parameter of the bolt? And is it dependent on the spellpower?

Re: NaWz of Makleb - how to Caustic shrike

shadow creatures + oof = shadow creatures, ime.

In any case, if you have LCS, you're fine...

Re: NaWz of Makleb - how to Caustic shrike

To-hit depends on spellpower yeah. Not sure why this char would want Firestorm with LCS working, but okay.
