CIP DgIE: Skipped Lair:6 Vault, Orc Next
Posted: Wednesday, 21st December 2016, 19:11
How ought I grow this character? I’ve mastered the Book of Frost. There isn’t a heavy weapon in the game, I’m carrying all the good ones except for a plain glaive and a +1 rapier of draining lying on the floor somewhere. I found the Book of Conjuration a bit ago, and just now Flames and Battle. So I have three starting books and the book of Power, and no potential endgame weapon—it seems to me that I ought to be headed toward a blaster mage in the short term at least. I think that after I get Battlesphere up and running, that I ought to learn Regeneration and then either melee or Sticky- and Conjure Flame. Sometime I need to train Fighting and Dodging and a weapon skill. I don’t have a good feel for how long the whip of electrocution will be viable. fsim says the scimitar is better already at zero skill vs. high AC targets, and the whip vs unarmored ones.
TLDR:
TLDR:
- When should I train Fighting and Dodging?
- Weapon or Book of Flames after Regeneration?
- Invest in whip of electrocution, scimitar of flaming, or wait for something better?
