The death here is squarely my fault. I got too cocky, like I often do, and let myself get surrounded. Right as I was prepared to use a tele scroll (at like 65 health) I was confused, and couldn't get out of the box of spiders around me. When I finally became unconfused I had like 8 health, so I started blinking all over instead of using a tele and maybe a lignification potion or SOMETHING to keep me alive. I had many different things I could've done to get out of this and I just panicked instead. It's really depressing too--this is the furthest I've gotten with a pure caster and there's no reason she should've died before winning.

So those who can't keep a caster alive, take note. This is why you don't get cocky.

Re: YASD: GrEE of Sif Muna "Spiders. Spiders everywhere."

As a Gargoyle you had a good reason to feel cocky in the Nest. You are immune to poison, so you feel invincible there - until one of those Tarantulas gets a bite at you. Too bad that the poison immunity does not protect you from that.

Once you are at 8 HP, anything you do could get you snuffed. Don't berate yourself for having made a bad choice; you probably didn't.

Re: YASD: GrEE of Sif Muna "Spiders. Spiders everywhere."

Having Spiders Next probably would change my plans in Lair, being pure caster is very hard due to confusion and lots of fast monsters there, Ghost Moth is tricky for pure casters too. Gr is one of the best species for hybridization IMHO because it can have amazing AC in light armour.
With that equipment I would ignore both Armour and Dodging for a while. 6.3 levels in Armour gave you 1 AC and with AC 35 and intrinsic GDR you don't really need high EV. More Fighting and a dagger/spear of venom at min delay might be better IMHO.

Yeah, I realized that, looking back over my statting. I think my logic for putting that skill into armor was "Get rid of the ER from the leather armor" which is probably not even how it works, but without any documentation I could find it's been my riding assumption. It went to 6.3 because I forgot about stopping it at 4.

That glaive was actually pretty amazing for taking down mobs. I was killing popcorn left and right easy; hell even the spiders most of the time were popcorn. Until tarantella.

Anyways, thanks for the advice. I'll keep that in mind for my next attempt.

Re: YASD: GrEE of Sif Muna "Spiders. Spiders everywhere."

More pieces of advice then :). Never train Armour to get rid of ER, there is just a single reason to train Armour - to get extra AC. Extra EV, spellcasting failure improvements, accuracy bonus are useful but just extra bonuses and should not affect your decision to train Armour.
Yes, that glaive is very good, that's why I suggested to train Polearms (I believe spear of venom deals more damage to spiders which are vulnerable to poison, but anyway at least after training some Polearms you will not be attacked 3-4 times by a single fast monster between your attacks).

Okay, good to know. Won't be bothering to train it on any future GrEEs.

And yeah I kept thinking I should have, but I kept putting it off because I figured "defenses are more important right?" Still, lesson learned. Anyway, thanks again for the info; much appreciated.

I don't quite agree. The decision for a caster is to wear armour or not. Once you decide to wear it, you need to train some armour skill to get your spell failure rate down again. At least, when you are shooting for casting high-end spells. Some of it can be accomplished by having +STR equipment, but you may still want some levels of armour skill once you go beyond the robe.

As far as I know it is more efficient to train magic skills for that, not Armour.

Re: YASD: GrEE of Sif Muna "Spiders. Spiders everywhere."

I would expect that at some point, with high magic skills and no armour skill it would be more efficient exp-wise to train armour, because the levels would be so much cheaper? Of course this means that you are wearing heavy armour (so your high magic skills are still not enough by themselves). Then again, if you are wearing heavy armour, you want to also train armour skill for AC so I guess my point is moot anyway :)

Re: YASD: GrEE of Sif Muna "Spiders. Spiders everywhere."

Just to clarify. Here is what I had in mind: when you switch to leather from robe, it is more efficient to train magic. When you switch from robe to ring mail, it is more efficient to train magic. When you switch from robe to plate armour, you train armour to get extra AC because you cannot cast anyway.
I just cannot imagine a situation when I train Armour for spells: when armour is heavy enough to stop my spells, it has high enough base armour to make Armour skill optimal for extra AC anyway.

Re: YASD: GrEE of Sif Muna "Spiders. Spiders everywhere."

Armour skill does basically nothing to get down your spell failure rate due to ER. This is because the dependence is roughly: (45 - <armour skill>).

If you want to reduce the effect of ER on spell failure rates, it's better to increase your strength (if it's too low) or train magic schools directly.

Re: YASD: GrEE of Sif Muna "Spiders. Spiders everywhere."

It appears that bel is right. My current Gargoyle has an armour skill of zero, INT at 34, STR at 13, spellcasting at 26, fire and conjurations at about 20. I ran it with a robe so far, but when I equip a troll leather armor (ER 4), my Firestorm failure rate 'soars' from 3% to 4%. Based on that I would probably not train armour at this stage if I found an incredible leather armor. I would probably if I found a nice artefact ringmail, but then VAF's claim would kick in that I would train armour for the extra AC anyway. So I stand corrected.

Re: YASD: GrEE of Sif Muna "Spiders. Spiders everywhere."

As a robe caster, you train armour when you get 3~4 aux armor slots for the pip of AC. If it nets you a half a percentage of spell success, who cares?
