I want Gell's Gravitas... Prism kiting isn't as fun.

Meeting a Torpor Snail while kiting 15 fat Lair things is scary. I'm pessimistic of this cat's post-Lair prospects. "Kite the whole floor at once" isn't as viable in a water branch and I don't want to think about Spider.

18 hexes is way to high if you don't have dischord. Edit (maybe not at +4 if you are making liberal use of confuse, turkima, cause fear and slow, but you are mostly using it as a spellpower booster for Prism at the moment. That XP is probably more useful elsewhere.)

You have an amulet of rage that you have never used. Hugging your rage amulet (and getting better physical skills) would be helpful.

Edit 2: Fear should stabilize some of spider, and dart + Battlesphere will help a lot. A few threats (demonic crawler, ghost moth) but fear should prevent you from being overrun, which is what commonly happens to high ev low AC chars in spider.

I take it there's not enough piety to use Disaster Area in every non-trivial fight... Would a lucky amulet of faith help?

Sunday, 2nd October 2016, 03:11 by edgefigaro

Yah no, on my stormkitty with a faith amulet, I'll get ~4 Disaster Areas per zone. My stormkitteh is a bad character though, so I lose a lot of piety to decay.

Too bad. That seems like the only way to make this fun.

You know things are tedious when you think "this character is not fun, what's a fun way out of this situation?" Surrounded by spiders at stairs -> read ?immolation, equip =rF, drink !berserk. Qazlal buffs rF after first explosion, he already makes me immune to the sea of flames. Then an emperor scorpion shows up around the corner and is already at melee range (yeah, no tactical thinking here). Walk away to expire berserk, read ?blinking and head up different stairs. I should have turned that sea of flames into a mob of fire elementals.

The problem with relying on rage amulet is that if reinforcements happen to spawn upstairs, I'm a squishy slow cat that can't hide after retreating upstairs. I've found a Book of Power so I could tech towards serious conjurations.

Sunday, 2nd October 2016, 22:16 by edgefigaro

I went deep hexes (dischord) on my stormkitty, and got Dragon/Statue Form Later. It kinda worked (i won), but game was very hard.

Conj are probably a good choice.
