YASD: Melee on Elf:5

I'd never had too much trouble with Elf:5 before, and realized: I'd always had a fairly serious ranged attack before: Bolt of Fire, high-end slings, Poisonous Cloud, or something. In essence, hit 'em and GTFO.

This time, I came in as a DDNe (easiest build there is, right? Still haven't won one) packing the ranged power of... Pain, and Stone Arrow. My big ol' Spiked Flail of Pain had served me very well on everything living, but I didn't count on Deep Elf Demonologists. Even if they went down in 1-2 hits in melee, just advancing on them gave them time to summon... things. In particular, if you give one enough chances (and I'd taken down 5), eventually it'll summon something like a Fiend and a Hellion. Surrounding you. Which they did to me.

Ah, yes, Fiends:

At this point, I had a Big Problem, as the Fiend enjoyed torment and Hellfire while the Hellion enjoyed Hellfire and more Hellfire. And because I was on Elf:5, no cTele, so ?Blink isn't so great. Pain doesn't do anything to demons. Those two guys hurt me a whole lot faster than /Healing could solve, and the rest is history.

In retrospect, my mistake was heading in there as early as I did -- I really had no business being in that vault. Coulda cleared Snake:5 or Swamp:5. Coulda done some Vaults. Coulda done a bunch more Dungeon. With Iron Shot (or LRD, which I really wanted, or Shatter, which was my eventual plan), Demonologists would just spend less time on the screen. And Sorcerers, who are also awful. And actually all of the top-tier elves.

Tactically, once the Fiend and Hellion were tag-teaming me, I'm not sure there was a lot I could do. Hasting immediately would have been wise. Maybe trying to take out the Hellion instead of healing or blinking? Maybe trying a teleport? Reaching into the Greater Servant grab-bag was an option, but adding a hostile Executioner to the mix seemed too risky. And really, the demons were dishing out enough damage per turn that I suspect it didn't matter much.

In other news, did you know a Master Archer can take down a hasted Executioner without much problem? Yup.

Anyhow, here's the dump. Whew.

Re: YASD: Melee on Elf:5

I lost my awwesome MdFi with 2 runes to crystal spear by a deep elf annihilator in elf:5. So I know how painful melee can be in that place. Hopefully the MiBe's I'm trying can berserk and roflstomp all the elves before they even get a chance to wet themselves out of terror. I have yet to try them in Elf:5 though. Trog likes to give me bows so I'll have to go the 2H weapon and bow route or something. 2H weapons tend to be REALLY slow like 200% base delay on an executioner's axe which is just crazy, but berserk makes it much better with the haste that it gives. As for bows I've never touched them before so should be an interesting experience normally I use slings for the ease of swapping and sheild friendliness.

Re: YASD: Melee on Elf:5

you had a rod of demonology, which contains abjuration, so even if you did not find a book with it you could have used it from the rod.

Re: YASD: Melee on Elf:5

Ouch!
Yes Elf:5 can be really nasty for melee. I usually don't tackle it until I am ready for Zot, and IMO it is the nastiest branch end other than V:8 and Tomb:3.

As well as Slowcar's useful comment, IMO a useful addition to your spell choice would have been mephitic cloud. IIRC most elves are not immune and it's hard to summon when confused. :mrgreen:
The only time I did Elf:5 early and found it easy was with poison immune allies and just sitting back and spamming that...

Yeah, when I found that rod, I was all "super awesome, now I don't need to find abjuration!" Then I actually used the rod, fairly extensively, ultimately abjuring maybe one summoned rat. I suppose it might have been my best bet (/Haste) but I doubt it'd have worked better on these guys than anything I'd tried it on before.

I suspect it would have been better with a bunch of levels in Evo, which reinforces my strategic mistake: being there too early.

You should try it with Poisonous Cloud sometime. The new cloud AI would make it a bit harder, but it should still be easy to poison pretty much everyone in LOS and run away while they die.

If you have no abjuration and a Master Demonologist decides to summon some 1s you'll still be toast.

Elf5 is best done very carefully, and in some situations quick damage is the best solution as the elves tend to have pretty low hp. in others its best to run away and come back when the situation is a bit settled.
if the ending is one with all of the big guys together it may pay to stir them up a bit and take them 1:1 while they wander the dungeon.

I think you're right about that being a fun plan! My current Naga hasn't found poisonous cloud, but has found Olgreb's Toxic radiance. :-)
And ignite poison. :-)
Which I think might also be fun in the snake pit. :lol:

The thing I like about mephitic is that it confuses things so they cannot summon all the 1s in the first place. :?
Of course if they're dead, then they cannot summon much either...
Sorry for the slight hijack!

it doesn't make that much of a difference in 0.8, but in 0.9 it's pretty strong. you can abjure reliably with a rod and high levels in evocations.

What's that? A change in 0.9 that helps the player? Other than Crusader/Skald getting 3 in charms, I wasn't aware of any boosts.

Re: YASD: Melee on Elf:5

in previous versions the effect of the evocations skill on evokables such as rods was very small. this changed recently, so that you're actually worse off early on but it improves very significantly at higher levels. i think this happened after 0.8 but at this point i'm not even sure, and i'm not commit-diving. :) there's probably stuff in the dev wiki too.
